Alongside his academic work at Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, Dr. Muhamad Hariz Bin Muhamad Adnan has founded and helped build technology ventures in Malaysia. Running these businesses is what keeps his AI and digital transformation training grounded in what actually works commercially, not only in theory.
Auto Soft
Auto Soft is an IT-based business providing consultation on technology for Malaysian small and medium enterprises. Current services include:
- Website design and development
- Mobile and web application development
- Antivirus and endpoint security
- Design and printing
- Technology and digital marketing training
Pestabuku
Pestabuku provides resources for young adults and students, including resume design services, printed books, e-books and study and career tips. It grew out of the same interest in helping students move from study into work with practical, affordable materials.
Why this matters for training clients
Most AI and digital transformation advice in Malaysia comes either from academics with no commercial exposure or from vendors with something to sell. Building and running these ventures means Dr. Hariz has had to make the same decisions his clients face: which tools are worth paying for, what can realistically be automated, where a small team should start, and what a change actually costs in time and money.
That experience feeds directly into corporate AI training and one-to-one consultation work, especially for SMEs and entrepreneurs.
