Cloud strategy integral to digital transformation.
HKBN Enterprise Solutions has launched a Cloud-learning Incentive Programme to help businesses build Cloud-savvy and teams and accelerate digital transformation.
The telecoms company’s program was designed to help businesses across Hong Kong increase cloud proficiency and accelerate digital transformation. Discounts and service rebates will be given to companies for learning on two reputable cloud-training platforms, Cloud Academy and KORNERSTONE.
Andy Lau co-owner and chief commercial officer – Cloud Services at HKBNES said the COVID-19 outbreak stands as a stark reminder of the importance of digital transformation to long-term business viability.
“The success of a go-cloud strategy does not hinge on tangible IT hardware and software, but rather the mastery of intangible cloud capabilities within the companies, ranging from identifying the best-fit cloud strategy, solutions and vendor to the up levelled hands-on tech skills,” he said.
Under its Cloud-learning Incentive Programme, HKBNES offers the following to each company enrolled to Cloud Academy or KORNERSTONE.
Cloud Academy enrolment via HKBNES
- 25 per cent discount per Cloud Academy enterprise license
- Up to HK$50,000 HKBNES service coupons for each company
KORNERSTONE enrolment via HKBNES

Cloud Academy is a self-learning platform supporting customised and scalable learning anytime, anywhere, while KORNERSTONE combines interactive instructor-led trainings and practical workshops.
Both teach recognised accreditations and certifications from global leaders such as AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.
The announcement comes off the back of HKBNES’ parent company – HKBN Group signing the Jardine Restaurant Group for a long-term strategic collaboration to leverage their respective technological and marketing excellence to deliver great value for both companies and their customers.
Under the agreement HKBN will become JRG’s key telecom and technology service provider in Hong Kong in the coming 10 years, while JRG will further extend its exciting offerings to HKBN’s broad customer base for consumption in restaurants under JRG.
With operations under three global brands, Pizza Hut, KFC and PHD, JRG is one of the leading restaurant groups in Asia, operating over 200 outlets in Hong Kong and Macau, and over 890 in Asia serving over 1 million customers weekly.
HKBN will provide high-speed Internet connectivity to JRG’s restaurant outlets across Hong Kong. Data centre modernisation will be another key project to accelerate JRG’s digital transformation. With this win-win strategic partnership, JRG and HKBN would continue to create more value to customers of both organisations in the years to come.
