Bank Negara Malaysia's Risk Management in Technology (RMiT) framework and SC Malaysia guidelines both require accurate, real-time IT asset visibility, and most GLC-ecosystem organizations have not tested whether their current asset register would survive an examination.
Oracle's 2023 shift to per-employee pricing means every person on the payroll is now a potential licence liability, whether they use Java or not. That risk is especially acute for Malaysia's large, complex Java estates built up over decades at organizations like Petronas, Tenaga, CIMB and Maybank.
Malaysia's AI National Initiative (AIM) is driving fast adoption, but few organizations have a way to govern AI spend at the token and API-call level before the invoice arrives.

Seats are capped at 15 so the room stays a real roundtable, not a conference panel. Once your seat is confirmed, it's held for you, not your title.
Delegates leave with material they can put in front of their own leadership team that same week.

A personalized IT Portfolio Health Check, aligned to Malaysia's BNM RMiT context
SoftwareOne's “From Cost Centre to Value Engine” eBook, APAC practitioner edition
Azul's ITAM/SAM Survey 2025 report, benchmarking Malaysia against its APAC peers
A post-event intelligence brief with anonymized insights from the roundtable, delivered within five business days
A complimentary 30-day Java estate discovery from Azul
A complimentary BNM RMiT IT asset compliance gap assessment from SoftwareOne ITPM
Delegate arrival, refreshments and informal networking.
Conversation starter:
“What is the single biggest technology governance or investment decision you need to make entering 2027?”
Frame the evening around three Malaysia priorities: regulatory confidence, AI investment discipline and technology cost optimization.
Opening Question:
Are we building governance that enables growth, or governance that only prepares us for the next audit?
Industry practitioner and thought leader keynote.
A boardroom perspective on balancing AI ambition, regulatory expectations, cyber and technology risk, cost pressure and business outcomes.
The keynote should be non-commercial and rooted in practical leadership experience in Malaysia.
Moderated discussion following the keynote.
Topics include what BNM RMiT and stronger governance expectations mean in practice; where accountability for AI cost and risk should sit; how GLC and multi-entity structures complicate visibility; and what evidence boards and CFOs increasingly expect from technology leaders.
Azul executive insight combined with a customer proof point.
Focus on large Malaysia enterprise and GLC Java estates, Oracle licensing exposure, runtime efficiency, modernization risk and the opportunity to turn software rationalization into measurable savings and resilience.
Keep presentation content concise and reserve time for questions.
Peer discussion connecting governance with growth.
Provocations:
Structured peer exchange.
Each delegate identifies one governance, software or AI investment decision that must move in the next 90 days, what is blocking it, and what visibility or evidence would unlock action.
Synthesize 3 to 5 priorities for Malaysia CXOs entering 2027.
Concise close: reflect the strongest themes from the room, confirm follow-up actions, and introduce the take-home health check portfolio and Azul Java assessment.
No additional presentation.
Seated dinner. No formal presentations.
Continue the peer and practitioner conversations in a relaxed setting, with optional 1:1 follow-up discussions.
This isn't an open event. Seats are reserved for CIOs, CDOs, CTOs, CFOs, and VPs of IT at enterprise and GLC organizations in banking and financial services, government-linked entities, telecommunications, and manufacturing. If you own the budget, the risk, or the outcome of your organization's technology portfolio, this conversation was built for you.
This roundtable runs once, on November 25. Reserve your seat now and we'll send your eBook, your agenda, and everything you need ahead of the day.
