Never underestimate what a good printer can do for your business’ IT infrastructure. Just ask Kydra co-founder and 2019 A-Lister Jimmy Poh
Critical Component

Augustman a-lister Jimmy Poh co-founded local sportswear company Kydra with his mate Wong Dingyao, after completing their university studies in 2017. The two have since grown the brand by leaps and bounds. From its humble beginnings in Wong’s bedroom, Kydra has moved into a sprawling unit in an industrial estate in order to hold its growing inventory and staff force.

This expansion has not been without its pains though. One of the issues that surfaced was IT infrastructure. The office sorely needed a new printer. So we sent Brother’s MFC-L3770CDW multi-function centre over to Kydra for a test run, before popping over a few days later to see how things were working out.

Kydra’s grown a fair bit in the past year, hasn’t it?

Yes. We actually had to look into building proper IT infrastructure for the company in the middle of 2019, because we were outgrowing our existing systems.
