"Quantum’s KL-based customer call center had been a success for more than a decade. This gave Quantum the insight and confidence to grow our local presence by more than 400% in a very short span of time. Malaysia, as a country, is very pro-investment from outside companies. Moreover, Malaysia has a highly skilled workforce and the people are hardworking with a positive attitude. When all of these factors are combined, investing in Kuala Lumpur was an easy decision to make."
Jim Simon, General Manager
Quantum Corporation Sdn Bhd
