This chapter explained about Tengku Farith finds out the solution for Skali. First, he tell about Skali have developed their own portal at 1997. They have needed Content Management System (CMS). The CMS can be easy all of data from various content partners. At the same time, they have a financial problem where they have must good decision. The decision are they have using Open Source platform for develop that system. Exactly, the decision is very good for their company. It is because they have accepted deal from the government and private company.
They have also suggested a deal to Media Digital Alliance (MDA), the CMS project who is handle by Ivan Hoo and Megat Husni. The early version of CMS who developed by Ivan and Megat was using for Skali.com. When the product developed and improved, Skali have combined new features in their portal. Skali.com is a trial for new CMS program which branded NeoFission.
In the middle year 1999, they have got a pretty mature project. At the August of 1999,they entered into the payment gateway business via a joint venture with a company called Camtech Asia IT&T. Their contract with AltaVista has been ending at March 2000 and they did not to renew it.
But this chapter, I’ve learned something. It is sound like “One of the things any business owner must learn is to let go of ties that are no longer working. I know this sounds very ruthless, but it is the most practical way to get on in life and career. Like a romance gone sour, we had to look deep within us to see where we had gone “wrong”, and in the end we parted ways.”
Skali are one of leader for Open Source. The portal first in Malaysia are using PHP programming for Skali also. At the 2001, they have a detail report about Open Source industry to government and they have good luck. It is because the government who is leader by the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Dr. Mahathir Mohammad received their report.
