Business development includes many objective keys, including employee development. It is one of the vital keys of the company and creates a win-win situation for both the employer and the employees. Frontiir invests in our staff’s professional development because our people are our most important assets.

Most of our employees seek training and want to develop professionally for success in their roles. Our organization actively supports training and education sponsorship programs to improve employees’ skills while working on the company’s future business development.

Frontiir has education sponsorship programs for all outstanding employees, building both our people and our company in the process. Any employee with at least six months’ service can apply to local and overseas education sponsorship programs. Employees need to have two TRAC awards in one year (or) TRAC award and an outstanding standard based on their last performance review.

Local training can be applied to with approval of relevant managers and E-Staff. All local education program fees will be covered by the company. Foreign training requires approval from relevant E-Staff and our CEO. Frontiir will cover 50% of foreign training fees with the remaining 50% of the cost deducted from the employee’s salary.

Frontiir always emphasizes care for our employees. Our company uses its own resources to grow the company. This includes internal and external professional training for polishing our employees’ skills. Any employee can join their relevant training, depending on their level, from basic employees to those in management. Training programs provide support depending on each person’s requirements, ensuring employees are satisfied and motivated.

Our company recognizes grade 1 to 12 employee positions from basic to management level employees. The Frontiir advantage is that we have internal job vacancies and every employee has a chance to join their department of interest with a high level. All they require is to do their job well and work hard to pass their required training. This is our unique internal development plan. Training programs are investing in our most important asset: our people.

We have many training programs within a year for our employees. Every training course has unique advantages and goals specific for employees of differing segments of the organization, such as labour groups, installation groups, engineers, technicians and management. Frontiir fully sponsors all internal training, motivating employees towards continual growth and development.

Frontiir’s well established internship program is subscribed by universities across the country, providing opportunities for students with on-job training schemes. The transition procedure for Interns allows the talented students to be able to fast-track to permanent posts as soon as they graduate.

President Mahn Win Maung Learning Center

President Mahn Win Maung was the third president of Myanmar. He was born in March 1957 and had worked for five years until 2 March 1962 before General Ne Win military Government.  He died on 4 July 1989.

In 2019 Frontiir established President Mahn Win Maung Learning Center at former president Mahn Win Maung’s home in Yangon Regional Government Compound, Ahlone Township, Yangon. 

Frontiir backed renovation of President Mahn Win Maung’s old home for learning center and founded a library and supported librarians. Frontiir supported the Learning Center intended for young generation notably Regional Government Compound families and youth people.

 We supported Computer, English language and basic communication skill training for the children in this Learning Center. We will train many development training sessions for the children every summer.

Our mission is to provide affordable digital access and useful information services to people and help bridge the global digital divide.

85% of the world’s populations live in developing countries. A large fraction of them live in frontier countries with per capital GDP of a few thousand dollars or less and a typical broadband penetration rate in a single digit. Broadband access cost is often multiple times higher in those countries than in developed countries and businesses and consumers do not typical utilize IT services. We think is a problem. We envision three implementation phases in helping overcome the world’s digital divide. The end-states of these phases are as follows.

–  Affordable Digital Information Access: most have access to affordable and effective communications services.

–  Access to Useful IT Services: most use ubiquitous IT services to improve productivity, healthcare & quality of life.

–  Become Providers of Services: most actively participate in digital economies to earn money and further their causes.

We currently focus on realizing solutions for the first phase while laying foundation for the second phase. While we are committed to realizing ubiquitous and affordable digital access to consumers, our story is incomplete without addressing the digital divide experienced by businesses in frontier countries. Most of these businesses do not have reliable IT infrastructure and are at a significant disadvantage in competing against large multi-national corporations. The success of local businesses in a frontier country is not only important for creating local jobs but also critical for ensuring long-term sustainability of its progress towards a more developed country. Thus, we also focus on delivering enterprise IT solutions and services for local businesses at most affordable prices so that they can close the productivity and agility gaps that exist between them and their multi-national competitors.   Our approach to solving these problems is to innovate to deliver most affordable and the hightest performing capabilities. Our solutions tend to demonstrate 10x price-performance advantage over comparable ones available in developed countries. In fact, we think that an order of magnitude gain in price-performance is a must to solve the aforementioned problems since the GDP of a typical frontier country is less than one-tenth of a typical developed country. There are however advantages to frontier countries in coming from behind. WE can obserbe the technological evolution that had already taken place in developed countries and choose to adopt the right technologies at the present time. We do not need or want to replicate the technology adoption steps in the same way that had happened in developed countries. Cellphones are a great example. There are now more mobile than fixed broadband access available in developing countries. As we dissect the inforcomm technology evolution and understand the challenges that are specific to each frontier county, we can rethink and leapfrog and arrive at an innovative soloution in achieving 10x price-performace. That’s our approach!

Frontiir is proud to support 27^th SEA Game 

Myanmar hosted 27^th Southeast Asian Games multi – sport events that took place in 4 cities of Myanmar- Yangon, Mandalay, Nay Pyi Taw and NgweSaung. It was the third time SEA Game celebrations of Myanmar and 40 decades after the last time the country hosted the SEA Games.  The country hosted the Games in 1961 and 1969 in Yangon, the capital city of the country.

Frontiir SEA Games Private Network

         Frontiir designed and deployed the SEA Games Private Network for 27^th SEA Games to provide secure data connection between SEA Games data center and 24 venues, covering four cities in Myanmar.

Private Network was deployed using the existing fiber network provided by MPT. The private network will be exclusively used by Games Management System (GMS) and SEA Games Verification and Information System (SVIS). GMS is the official game management system used to collect data for all sporting events during SEA Games. Through the Private Network, official game results were updated instantaneously on various media platforms. 

Frontiir SEA Games Verification and Information System (SVIS)

         35 delegates, including athletes, participated in the 27th SEA Games. Frontiir built the SVIS system to provide verification of their accreditation for all venues of SEA Games. Fixed and mobile verification stations were deployed at 36 locations covering 24 venues. All delegates were issued ID cards with a barcode. SVIS client used the barcode to verify everyone entering the venue. The SVIS system was built using Frontiir Open ERP system.         SEA Games Mobile application was also launched for free download, which enabled delegates to access SVIS information as well as Game information for the public. Fantasy football game with prizes were included in the app for entertainment in the spirit of the SEA Games. The mobile application gave crucial Game information to delegates, and also using the app, attendees were able to exchange their information among their peers by simply their peer scan their barcode.
