Networking amongst Presales teams within the Formis Group helps to build rapport so that we can leverage better on our resources. Formis Computer Services - Presales Division organized our annual Christmas lunch gathering on 14^th Dec to thank those who worked with us over the past year.

Each company had to present a 2 minute speech on their Company Profile. The best presenter award went to Don Schulz of Comline – the only one who distributed a brochure. Kelvin led the game session where our products or IT terminology words were used and participants had to draw. The team were in stitches guessing the creative infrastructure and pictures eg SAN Replication, Oracle Fusion Middleware and anti-virus. We had the pleasure of having presales from FST, DGB, CLS, FNS, FSSB, ABS, FBS, FCS and ISS. The team participated enthusiastically in the gift exchange.

Team A - Alvin(FST), Kumar (FBS), Nicholas & Tham (FSSB), Beng Wee & Rizuan (ABS) waiting for time-out to guess the answer.	Rizuan (ABS) – How do I draw ‘ Oracle Fusion Middleware?.
Having fun watching Team A.	Enjoying Pies, home made spaghetti, Christmas cake, Fruit cake…..

It is now my turn and the time to say GoodBye to you all in as far as my working life in Formis is concerned. It has been a good 20 years and 5 months! Naturally I want to thank my bosses especially Dato’ Mah and Mr Chan Ngow for their leadership. As for the rest of the management team, you are "noted". My crazy colleagues, my sincere thanks for putting up with the noise and more noise.

Till we meet again, have fun. 

Best Wishes, Jenny Ong

First Solution (FSSB) recently rewarded some of their business partners with a trip to Bali, Indonesia.

They were the business partners who contributed a minimum of RM400,000 with FSSB within a span of seven months during the last financial year, and had adhered to its strict Terms and Conditions.

Among the highlights of the getaway were a) Whitewater Rafting on Ayung River b) Special cultural show over dinner c) Balinese spa for each business partner.

This year, our group of business partners was an exciting group as they were those who look forward to doing new things.

As for this financial year, it is good to hear the audience positive remarks when we announced it to them during the Bali trip regarding the 'Korean Formula-One Challenge'.

We hope to be able to bring more partners with us this time as the measurement period for the accumulative sales will be for 12 months.
