On 15 April 2026, Sabah CX Day took place at the Sabah International Convention Center (SICC), bringing together CX leaders, decision‑makers, and industry practitioners to discuss how organizations can respond to rising expectations and growing service complexity in an omnichannel world.
As a proud Technology partner, Nubitel was honored to participate in this leadership forum and contribute to forward‑looking conversations on the evolving role of AI in customer experience and service delivery.
As part of the program, Dang Tin Wai, Chief Growth Officer of Nubitel Technology and Executive Committee Member of PIKOM GBS, delivered a session titled: “AI‑powered Omnichannel Customer Engagement: From Reactive Support to Outcome‑driven Service Delivery.”
The session highlighted four key takeaways as follows:
The Evolution of Asian GBS and the Engagement Imperative
Global Business Services (GBS) models across Asia are rapidly evolving from fragmented, labor‑arbitrage-driven service operations into AI‑powered engagement hubs. The focus is shifting away from headcount efficiency toward predictive, outcome‑driven service delivery.
In an omnichannel environment, customers and citizens now expect context continuity, where interactions move seamlessly across digital channels, bots, and human agents without repeating information. This evolution is enabled by Conversational AI, GenAI agent copilots, predictive routing, and enterprise‑grade cloud platforms, creating smarter and more proactive services.
The Public Sector Mandate: Bridging Empathy and Efficiency
Within Dang Tin Wai’s session, a dedicated focus was given to the public sector mandate. Public agencies face rising expectations for frictionless, digital‑first interactions, while continuing to operate under strict regulatory and data sovereignty requirements.
Here, the mandate is no longer a choice between empathy and efficiency; both must coexist. AI‑powered omnichannel platforms help eliminate legacy silos, manage inquiry surges, and support agents with real‑time insights. At the same time, secure cloud environments and continuous AI‑driven quality monitoring ensure compliance, trust, and service accountability.
The Strategic ROI: From Cost Center to Value Generator
AI‑driven CX fundamentally redefines the outsourcing and GBS value equation. Intelligent deflection and predictive resolution lower cost‑to‑serve, reduce onboarding time, and enable personalization at scale.
More importantly, conversational data becomes a strategic asset, transforming day‑to‑day interactions into insights that uncover policy gaps, systemic friction, and opportunities for service improvement. As a result, CX operations move from reactive cost centers to data‑driven value generators.
A Future‑proof Roadmap for Sustainable CX Transformation
Transformation succeeds through a phased, pragmatic roadmap. Organizations begin with quick wins, such as deploying high‑impact bots to deflect routine queries, before scaling and optimizing with agent copilots and predictive routing across every touchpoint.
The long‑term goal is the development of autonomous, self‑healing systems that proactively identify issues, optimize processes, and continuously enhance customer and citizen experiences, thereby future‑proofing service delivery.
Humanizing AI to Improve CX: A Shared Responsibility
The event concluded with a panel discussion titled “The Future of CX: Humanizing AI to Improve CX”, moderated by Dang Tin Wai in his capacity as a PIKOM GBS Executive Committee member.
Panelists explored the evolution of GBS services, multilingual CX strategies across Asia, and the responsibility organizations carry to ensure that AI amplifies human capability rather than replaces it. Emphasis was placed on building AI‑driven solutions grounded in trust, confidence, and inclusivity.
The consensus was clear: innovation and empathy must advance together. Technology alone does not create exceptional customer experiences; how it is applied does.
