Business Case at a Glance

Sarawak Digital Economy Corporation Berhad (SDEC) plays a vital role in advancing Sarawak’s digital economy through programmes, initiatives, and industry collaborations. Managing finances across multiple projects, vendors, and stakeholders requires a structured, transparent, and scalable financial system.

To support operational efficiency and governance, SDEC explored a more integrated finance platform that could unify accounting, invoicing, expenses, and reporting under a single ecosystem.

Zoho Finance Plus

The Challenge

As operations expanded, SDEC required improved capabilities to:

  • Centralise financial management across initiatives

  • Improve visibility into income, expenses, and budgets

  • Standardise invoicing and payment tracking

  • Strengthen approval workflows and internal controls

  • Produce accurate and timely financial reports

Manual processes and disconnected tools limited efficiency and real-time oversight.

Proposed Solution

We proposed Zoho Finance Plus, an integrated finance suite designed to manage end-to-end financial operations in a structured and compliant manner.

The proposed solution included:

  • Zoho Books for accounting and financial reporting

  • Zoho Expense for controlled expense tracking

  • Zoho Invoice for structured billing and payments

  • Zoho Analytics (Finance) for real-time financial insights

  • Centralised approval workflows and role-based access

Zoho Finance Plus was positioned as a scalable platform capable of supporting SDEC’s governance requirements and future growth.

Expected Outcomes

With Zoho Finance Plus, SDEC would benefit from:

  • Unified financial data across departments and projects

  • Improved transparency and audit readiness

  • Faster financial reporting cycles

  • Reduced manual reconciliation work

  • Better decision-making through real-time insights

Conclusion!

The Zoho Finance Plus proposal aimed to strengthen SDEC’s financial operations by providing an integrated, transparent, and scalable finance ecosystem—supporting effective governance and Sarawak’s broader digital transformation goals.
