a note from all three countries

Why we became DigiHwy Certainty

Our teams in Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines have been one company since May 2024. Until now, we did not look like it. This is where the name comes from, what changed with it, and what never will.

Two halves, one name

DigiHwy

digital highway, from the Philippines

IOT Digital Hiway Inc. was founded in Iloilo in 2021 by Joemer and Teofy Decatoria. Their roads are of a different kind: rural connectivity, satellite internet and solar pilots for island barangays, and the Smart Barangay initiative. Emil Ng joined them in 2023, and the name joined us.

Certainty

our first product, from Singapore

A shift-scheduling system we built at NUS Enterprise's The Hangar from 2015. We scrapped the product and kept the word, because it says what we promise: you own what we build, the price is the price, and you can leave and take everything with you.

twelve years, three countries

The road here

  1. 2014Singapore

    We open on 4 February as a small web, hosting and cloud shop for the organisations everybody else had decided were too small to serve.

  2. 2015The first Certainty

    At NUS Enterprise's The Hangar we build a shift-scheduling product called Certainty, and later scrap it. The name stays with us.

  3. 2016A marketplace

    A procurement marketplace follows, and runs until 2020.

  4. 2017Malaysia

    Our first hire in Malaysia. In 2018 Emil Ng moves over and hires our first full-time developer, Fakhzan Azwan.

  5. 2020Social service

    Social service agencies become the heart of our work: case systems, hotlines and portals.

  6. 2021Subang Jaya and Iloilo

    The Malaysian team moves into our SS15 office in Subang Jaya. In Iloilo, Joemer and Teofy Decatoria found IOT Digital Hiway Inc.

    Emil joins the team in the Philippines, and the DigiHwy name comes with them.

  8. May 2024DigiHwy Certainty

    The Singapore and Malaysia team and DigiHwy Philippines become one company.

  9. 2026dhcertainty.org

    One website, one team page and one promise, for all three countries. You are reading it.

Three websites became one

Our name came together in 2024 and our presence online did not. Each country had its own website, and nobody visiting them could tell they were looking at one team. Someone in Iloilo, Subang Jaya or Singapore should land on the same company.

What changes

  • One website, dhcertainty.org, with a site each for Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines
  • One team page with all of us on it
  • The same name on everything we send
  • One plain statement of what we stand for

What stays

  • The people in Singapore, Subang Jaya and Iloilo
  • The work, and the pricing
  • Telling you when you do not need what you are asking us to build
  • More than ten years and forty organisations in, still not a single advertisement bought
the same in every country

Certainty, spelled out

  • What we build is yours.

    Source code, hosting accounts and data, in your name.

  • The price is the price.

    The number we quote is the number you pay.

  • You can leave, and take everything.

    No lock-in, and no export you are not allowed to click.
