CNS celebrates 10 Years in Kuala Lumpur

The new year offers the perfect opportunity to reflect on the journey of CNS Kuala Lumpur. As part of our international strategy, Southeast Asia is a key region for CNS, both historically and moving forward.

In 2025, CNS Kuala Lumpur marked its 10th anniversary, surpassed €1M in IT consulting revenue, and inaugurated its new office in Kuala Lumpur.

These milestones illustrate the agency’s growth and its role as a regional hub.

This year, we seize the opportunity to redefine the strategic role of IT in driving organizational excellence.

With a focus to align business & IT to ensure with a holistic approach that all IT Infrastructure interdepend stacks are properly resilient, sized and secured to support critical business application.

Through this article, we revisit the foundations laid in 2015, highlight the achievements of 2025, and share the ambitions that will shape 2026, including the next chapter of CNS’ international expansion across Asia.

While CNS celebrates 10 years of continuous presence in Kuala Lumpur

our regional hub for Asia

CNS brings IT expertise with a French touch to Asia, delivering end-to-end consulting and engineering services that align technology with business objectives.

For over a decade, CNS Communications has been a trusted IT partner in Asia, supporting organizations with complex IT infrastructures challenges, challenges, Cloud transformations, cybersecurity programs, and AI readiness. Our strength lies in a local team deeply familiar with regional expectations and business environments.

CNS’ value proposition: bridging the gap between IT and business 

We deliver pragmatic, high-impact infrastructure solutions across cloud, automation, observability, cybersecurity, and infrastructure resilience. 

We help organizations consolidate and modernize their IT environments to improve performance, reduce complexity, and strengthen operational continuity. 

We combine technology-agnostic expertise across major technologies with a strong understanding of regional needs and business ecosystems. 

No one-size-fits-all solutions: our consulting approach is tailored from strategy to implementation, ensuring technology becomes a lever for competitiveness, not just a cost. 

It all began in 2015 

2015 was a pivotal year for CNS KL. The office began as a representative branch within CCI’s premises, a structure maintained until 2019. 

2019: Big year, big time. CNS Communications in Kuala Lumpur transitioned from a representative office to an official agency.  

2020 marked a turning point in the life of the agency, with key achievements including the arrival of Yves-Marie as Manager, who is now the Country Manager. 

Between 2021 and 2024, CNS Kuala Lumpur secured large multinational accounts, expanding its client portfolio and reinforcing its position in the region. Over the past two years, CNS KL has steadily strengthened its regional presence, culminating in 2025 with Afiqah R. and Vincent D. stepping into managerial roles under the leadership of Yves-Marie. 

In 2025, CNS KL reached a new phase of maturity, becoming the strategic hub supporting clients from Australia to Shanghai, and now preparing the grounds for future extensions across Asia. 

2025 : a landmark year for regional growth 

In 2025, CNS Kuala Lumpur celebrated its 10th anniversary in style, surpassing €1M in revenue and moving into a new, purpose-built office, proudly inaugurated by the team in September. 

That same year, CNS joined the French Delegation, alongside Business France, for the Business in Southeast Asia Mission focused on IT infrastructure modernization, operational resilience, data security, and competitiveness. Our objective was to strengthen Franco-Asian expertise through our real-world experience. 

New opportunities emerged through this network, leading to collaborations in cybersecurity, IT consolidation, and digital infrastructure across Thailand, the Philippines, and other ASEAN markets. 

These achievements not only reflect our regional impact, technological ambition, and the maturity of our local teams. They also reinforce CNS KL’s role as the springboard for our upcoming expansion across Asia, with new locations currently under evaluation

“Ten years ago, Kuala Lumpur was a bet. Today, it is a success story. Tomorrow, it will be a hub for even greater ambitions. What made the difference was the courage to start, the audacity to grow, and the people who believed in this journey. As long as the CNS DNA binds us, the passion we carry will always drive us forward. I am truly grateful (and proud) to be writing this story with all our teams and clients.”
