The research is a part of Amazon’s ongoing commitment to provide free cloud computing skills training to 29 million people globally by 2025. Emmanuel Pillai Malaysian workers specifically contributed an estimated US$105.7 billion . The study attributes this to the 106% higher salaries that the Malaysian workers earn compared to those with a similar education who do not use digital skills at work. 25% of Malaysian organizations that operate mostly on the cloud are more likely to experience a doubling of annual revenue or more, compared to 7% that use the cloud for some or none of their business.
For companies looking to get an edge in the market, the 168% higher revenue reported by organizations with high levels of digital skill usage versus those that do not use digital skills will be of particular interest.
With International Women's Day coming up on 6th March and with women's participation in technology still lagging, Emmanuel told DNA that AWS has already introduced several programs in Singapore and other countries to empower women in creating a career path in the cloud industry and that more programs would be rolled out in the future.
