Shaharin Saman's connect ME
If you're a tech savvy individual who's using the video mail service being offered to Streamyx subscribers, then you'd be interested to know more about Shaharin Saman. After all, he's the guy who built that whole system. His company, connect ME, inked an exclusive deal with TM Net Sdn Bhd last December to have their (connectME's) video mail service offered to Streamyx subscribers for RM9 per month.
The 38—year—old Shaharin had worked for companies such as Hewlett Packard and the Sapura group before venturing on his own to do IT consulting. One of his clients included Dubai Internet City, advising it on wireless broadband technologies.
Starting connectME a year ago, Shaharin and his team have also developed a digital entertainment device. 'It looks like a DVD player but it links up to your TV to make it your screen for video mail, voice—over—IP [internet protocol] calls and to view content from the Net.'
This device was put together by outsourcing some of the software development work to engineers in India and the hardware component to companies in Penang. connectME has already sold these devices to a telco in Thailand (to be resold to their customers) and is in discussions with developers in Malaysia, who plan to provide this service as a value—added offering to buyers.
