The core of the integrated legislation management system is being built on RapidCloud's in-house developed solutions, RapidSearch and PortalWeb.

RapidCloud has additionally won a contract with a separate government owned institution in Southeast Asia to deploy its recently launched cloud-based application programming interface, RapidAPI.



RapidAPI gateway solution streamlines the management and operation of applications whilst at the same time enhancing security and regulatory compliance. The solution is ideal for organisations that are exposed to management and security challenges, such as Governments, Telcos, Internet Service Providers and large-scale enterprises, given the existence of the large and diverse number of applications running within their network.



Raymond Chee, Managing Director of RapidCloud, commented: "We are delighted to announce these contract wins which demonstrate the success of our investment in developing new enterprise level products. Having only just launched RapidSearch and RapidAPI we are already gaining traction for the products which move us up the value chain and into important new markets such as the public sector.



"The combined revenue value of these contracts is significant and this therefore gives us considerable confidence for the current financial year."
