Yoma Car Share, one of the first IoT projects in Myanmar
When we talk about Yoma Car Share, if a person has never heard of it, the response is always “Really?”, “You can do that?”, “In Myanmar?”, “How?”, etc. The surprise and the incredulity give you a thrill and the satisfaction you get when the person goes ahead, uses our services, and gives feedback of “amazing.” Yoma Car Share is the brainchild of Yoma Fleet in bringing IoT (Internet of Things) to the people of Myanmar. Our goal is to “build a better Myanmar for its people” through technology and bring the standard to the next level.
So, what exactly is Yoma Car Share?
Yoma Car Share is a self-drive hourly to monthly car rental that is cashless, keyless, contactless, system automated, and available nationwide. From making the reservation to payment, the system is managing seamlessly, giving us the operational efficiency in offering better services.
We are always thinking about how to make our users’ journey easier and more flexible. We introduced the tap card system to access our cars in 2018 and the app in 2019. In 2022, we upgraded our app with Yoma Car Share 2.0 and introduced a Yoma Car Share Driver app, an app for our user’s travel companion to access the car.
We are not stopping here and upgrading the app regularly with versions using the Agile (Scrum) methodology.
PLUS+ by Yoma Fleet – Easier, Faster, Smarter Lease-to-Buy Program in Myanmar
It all started with a “Phone”.
At Yoma Fleet, we wanted to be a part of Yoma Group’s People Initiative 2020 program. We came up with the idea that every Yoma employee should have access to a smartphone without the need to use expensive and cumbersome financing providers. We launched YOMA+ in November 2020 for Yoma employees in collaboration with Yoma Group HR to lease-to-buy phones and tablets through monthly repayment from their salary. By 2022, YOMA+ is now called PLUS+ by Yoma Fleet. We have onboarded 25 organizations on PLUS+, and it is growing. On PLUS+, employees can lease-to-buy consumer electronics, hotel and travel packages, cosmetics, healthcare, and education services.
There is no document required and our turnaround time from order submission to approval is within 1 day and collection 2-3- days after, positioning PLUS+ as an Easier, Faster, and Smarter lease-to-buy program.
All organizations access our products and services from the same portal. PLUS+ allows operations, HRs, suppliers, and employees to use the same system and technology making PLUS+ unique and user-friendly.
PLUS+ started out as an MVP (minimum viable product) but it has grown so much. We continue to incorporate the feedback for improvements and will soon be introducing an upgraded version of PLUS+ with an app.

The future is here with AR glasses
The release of Meta’s AR glasses is part of a broader push by the company to expand its presence in the AR and VR markets. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said that he believes AR and VR will be the next major computing platform, and that his company is investing heavily in these technologies in order to be at the forefront of this shift.
Latest news says Meta’s first true AR glasses are expected to hit the market in 2027. The project, codenamed Orion, has been in development for eight years. It will be a more technologically advanced and expensive piece of hardware that can project high-quality holograms of avatars into the physical environment.
Introducing Microsoft 365 Copilot
Copilot combines the power of large language models (LLMs) with your data in the Microsoft Graph and the Microsoft 365 apps to turn your words into the most powerful productivity tool.
Copilot is integrated into Microsoft 365 in two ways. It works alongside you, embedded in the Microsoft 365 apps you use every day — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams and more.
Business Chat works across the LLM, the Microsoft 365 apps, and your data — your calendar, emails, chats, documents, meetings and contacts — to do things you’ve never been able to do before.
You can give it natural language prompts like “Tell my team how we updated the product strategy,” and it will generate a status update based on the morning’s meetings, emails and chat threads.
With Copilot, you’re always in control. You decide what to keep, modify or discard. Now, you can be more creative in Word, more analytical in Excel, more expressive in PowerPoint, more productive in Outlook and more collaborative in Teams.
GitHub data shows that Copilot promises to unlock productivity for everyone. Among developers who use GitHub Copilot, 88% say they are more productive, 74% say that they can focus on more satisfying work, and 77% say it helps them spend less time searching for information or examples.
Note As of March 2023, Copilot is only available in technical preview mode and is accessible through OpenAI’s Codex platform.
