IOI Wins Triple Honours For Driving Digital Transformation
IOI Corporation Berhad (“IOI”) has been recognised as one of Southeast Asia’s (SEA) top exemplars in digital transformation after winning the Autonomous Suite Award, Finance Transformation Award and the prestigious Outstanding Achiever Award at the third SAP Customer Excellence Awards for SEA 2026, held on 4 August 2026 in Singapore.
The recognition places IOI among an elite group of organisations at the forefront of enterprise transformation in the region. IOI was one of only three Malaysian organisations honoured and among just four companies across SEA to receive the coveted Outstanding Achiever distinction, SAP’s highest recognition for organisations that have demonstrated exceptional business transformation and enterprise-wide impact through its solutions.
The awards recognises IOI’s successful implementation of the ONE IOI Integrated Platform, a landmark digital transformation initiative which has unifed the Group’s upstream and downstream operations onto a single SAP-powered platform. By bringing together more than 1,200 users across 107 business units, it has replaced fragmented legacy systems with real-time, integrated operations, strengthening decision-making, streamlining processes and establishing a future-ready digital backbone across IOI’s global value chain.
Commenting on the achievement, Dato’ Lee Yeow Chor, Group Managing Director and Chief Executive of IOI Corporation Berhad said: “We are honoured to be recognised by SAP for our digital transformation journey. The ONE IOI Integrated Platform represents a fundamental shift in how we operate as one integrated organisation. Beyond improving efficiency and governance, it has strengthened our ability to make timely, data-driven decisions and created a scalable foundation for future innovation.”
“This achievement reflects the collective commitment and collaboration of our employees across the Group. As we continue our transformation journey, we will leverage this digital transformation to harness emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence and advanced analytics, to drive long-term value creation, operational excellence and sustainable growth.”
The transformation has delivered measurable business outcomes, including a 60% reduction in manual data entries, a twofold improvement in decision-making speed, a 30% improvement in financial forecast accuracy and working capital visibility, and a 30% reduction in unhedged exposure. Beyond operational efficiencies, the platform also strengthens governance, regulatory compliance and organisational resilience while laying the foundation for Artificial Intelligence-driven innovation and sustainable growth.
Held at Sands Expo & Convention Centre, the awards celebrated organisations with bold ambitions in driving transformative business outcomes through SAP solutions, recognising up to five winners across six entry categories. Themed ‘Intelligence to impact’, this year’s awards attracted more than 800 submissions and brought together over 2,000 customers, partners and industry leaders from across the region.
