It was great pleasure to enjoy the very exciting Fast & Furious 7 with our valued customers at Exabytes Movie Day 2015! The blockbuster is no doubt one of the best in 2015, and we bet you miss Paul Walker a lot. It’s really saddening to hear about his passing 🙁
As for Fast & Furious 7, double thumbs up for getting us all heart-pumping. Our jaws dropped when one of the super fast cars “flew over” to another building or cliff 😛 Sorry for being a spoiler here (if you haven’t watch the movie)!
Anyway, we certainly hope that you enjoyed the movie. Once again, thank you very much for your warm response and valuable support!
Check out some of the event photos:
After the movie ended, a Networking Party awaited us; beers and great food were all available while everyone was busy chit-chatting, mingling around and making new friends!
We also hope that you enjoyed everything we had prepared for you. See you guys again soon in the next event!

Hello all! Guess you already know what this post was all about when you saw the title above! Yes, we are having another FANTASTIC GIVEAWAY! This time it’s something you’ve eagerly been waiting for!
According to FreshTrax, one of the largest and most mature e-commerce markets in the world is Japan. It comprises 10% of global online retail transactions. In 2013, Japanese B2C e-commerce sales totalled $119 billion, and have since been growing steadily at 10% annually. The figure is projected to reach $135 billion in 2015.
And we decided to bring it on; to gather all the experts from Japan and Malaysia to share on how Japanese culture and trends affect the E-commerce scene in Malaysia. The latest E-commerce trends and landscape in Japan were also thoroughly examined and discussed at the much anticipated JTD 2015.
At 8.30am, registration was open.
CEO of the Exabytes Group, Mr Chan Kee Siak delivered the opening speech to welcome all the participants and speakers.
Our first invited speaker, Mr Yoshiaki Ieda who is also the CEO of JOBForward shared on growth hack and UX/UI, which are the latest trend and case study in Japan!
This was followed by another impressive speech by the CEO of Soukai.my, Mr Daisuke Maeda. Mr Maeda selflessly gave us his insights into the current eCommerce of Malaysia through a comparison with the Japanese Market.
Next, a viewpoint on the evolving digital world was shared by Mr. Kota Takaichi, the Executive Coordinator & Head of Strategic Planning of Hakuhodo and Freddy, Regional Director of Hakuhodo. They explained in detail the ideas of campaigns and strategies that the company has conducted to attract more customers.
Soon lunch was served. Many participants were seen enjoying the finger-licking food and networking.
After some good food to recharge, JTD 2015 resumed immediately. The founder of SAYWA , Whei Wong began by sharing with us his journey to change the way people rent real estate. The stunning speech was about how his team started the business and the lessons they learnt throughout the journey.
Next, Akira Hirose from ORO Malaysia took the stage and gave us the chronology of eCommerce industry in Japan, from the very beginning to present, and to the future.
The impressive presentation was followed by the sharing conducted by Dr. Genesan, the founder of Fundoma.
Next, Hayato Nakata, the Country Manager of Crossfinity Malaysia took the stage and shared on the latest SEO trend and cutting edge technologies.
Benson Chang, the co-founder & CEO of Tableapp soon took over and gave us some useful insights into how to improve products by testing.
June, the trainer easyStore greeted the audience with her presentation on how to simplify e-commerce. June went on to explain how online businessmen could enjoy greater advantages when they open their e-Stores with easyStore.
Last but not least, the operation Manager of EasyParcel, Clement awed the audience by sharing the evolution of Malaysia Delivery Supply Chain. Clement also gave a great overview and introduction of the services provided by easyParcel!
This wrapped up Japan Tech Day 2015. Thank you very much for all the valuable support. We hope you enjoyed the whole seminar, and look forward to see you soon at the next event!
The creation of a website always starts with a good and unique domain name. The best domain names to come up with are those that are memorable, relevant to your target audience or even better, both.
For starters, you don’t need to be too fancy with the layout. The best is to keep it clean and responsive.
Responsive layout indicates that your website is available to be viewed in any other devices. In other words, it provides an optimal viewing experience – ease of reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning and scrolling, from desktop computer monitors to mobile phone.
Why?
Day by day, the number of devices, platforms, and browsers that need to work with your site grows. Responsive web design represents a fundamental shift in how we’ll build websites for the decade to come. – Jeffrey Veen
More than 80% of us own a smartphone or tablets, and would prefer to surf the net with other kinds of mobile devices as well. Imagine how tedious and annoying it is to zoom in and out to see the picture and words with a mobile device!
That’s why it’s important to have responsive themes for your website!
Content is king. No matter how beautiful your website is, it doesn’t indicate anything if you have bad content for it. This is because the search engine is driven by the content itself.
Moreover, content is to provide information to your audience. If you don’t have a good content, audience might not understand the message that you are trying to deliver.
Content also helps you to add value to your website and attract more audiences. In other words, more traffic to your website, more impressions and sooner, more conversion for your business!
So here are the basic steps to start a website or a blog. What do you think?

Before going any further, let’s see what SSL is all about.
What is SSL?
SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer – a commonly-use protocol for managing the security of a message transmission on the Internet. This protocol is developed by Netscape for transmitting private documents via the Internet.
According to OpenSRS, there are 2 important things that we must acknowledge about SSL:
#1 SSL isn’t just for banks and big businesses
Regardless of the size of your business, as long as you are using an e-commerce website and mailing list, it’s still important to have SSL to provide encryption. This is to create a sense of confidence in customers that the transmission of data is safe and encrypted.
#2 Aren’t just for the big guys anymore
High-end SSL products such as Extended Validation (EV) certificates aren’t just for the big guys anymore
Customers only choose who they can trust to deal with online. Extended Validation Certificates provided end-users with peace of mind. Why? This is because they know who they are sending the data to!
Therefore, it’s important to educate your customers when offering SSL, to ensure that they know what is involved in the process. It is important to make sure your customer knows what to expect during the validation process and what documentation is required of them.
