Role of Manufacturing CFO 4.0 Indispensable as Industry Accelerates Digital Transformation Efforts

Leave a comment

SYSPRO study shows a return of business confidence as CFOs step up to spearhead Industry 4.0 in the upturn

SINGAPORE, Nov. 27, 2020 — SYSPRO has today announced new research, which reveals that the role of CFO 4.0 within the manufacturing sector will be crucial as the industry shifts towards increased digital transformation in the ‘new normal’. The study, which was conducted in October 2020 and led by SYSPRO, assessed the sentiment amongst senior level Chief Financial Officers within manufacturing sectors across the US, Canada, Africa and Asia Pacific (including Australia).

Sanjay Galal, Chief Financial Officer, SYSPRO Asia Pacific

 

Key findings outlined in the SYSPRO 2020 Manufacturing CFO 4.0 Survey Report include the return of business confidence, the rise a more robust role for the CFO within an increasingly digitised manufacturing sector and the acceleration of Industry 4.0 as a means to overcome future disruptions.

The Imminent Return of Business Confidence

When asked about how their business had fared during the pandemic, 47% of businesses indicated that their enterprise had fared well. This pattern was particularly pronounced in the Asia Pacific region, where 75% of respondents gave an answer of between three and five in terms of how they had fared during the pandemic.

The ability for businesses to weather the COVID-19 storm was particularly prevalent amongst manufacturers involved in the production/distribution of essential goods such as Food & Beverage (25%) during lockdowns as well as those who has the ability to augment their existing digital activities and adapt to ecommerce models.

Drilling down further into the data, size of an organisation also played a vital role in determining its ability to survive the pandemic. Companies with 51+ employees were significantly more likely to report having fared as well as, or better than, expected.

The levels of optimism uncovered by our survey suggest that CFOs – who are increasingly responsible for risk management in their organisations, now see COVID-19 as manageable in a business context, rather than terminal.

The report also indicated an overall return of business confidence, where almost 50 percent of businesses have already recovered or expect to do so by the end of 2020. A further 30 percent expected to return to pre-pandemic trading conditions by the end of Q2 2021.

CFOs in Manufacturing to Play a Vital Role in Recuperation

The study revealed that CFOs will be instrumental in engineering the bounce-back. When asked how they plan to boost their business in the upturn, almost 83 percent of businesses identified cost-cutting including the curbing discretionary spending and reducing overheads as a strategy. Over 70 percent of businesses also indicated that they would be exploring new revenue models with the aim for increased customer engagement through digital channels.

When asked about their immediate priorities for 2021, 70 percent indicated that they would prioritise the maintenance of margins and 67 percent identified the need to manage cashflow, both traditional CFO functions.

Surprisingly; however, the study also revealed that in addition to playing a traditional function, CFOs will also be expected to make informed technology investment decisions as a way of ensuring the interconnectedness of all aspects of manufacturing operations, as well as leveraging Business Intelligence to acquire and assess data that can then be used as the basis for strategic decisions.

The Acceleration of Industry 4.0

While Industry 4.0 has been around for a number of years, the expanded scope of the CFO role will contribute to the acceleration of digital transformation. When asked about areas of technological investment, only 19.3 percent of respondents confirmed that they would replace ageing machinery in 2021. Rather, the emphasis is on investing in technology to make manufacturing smarter and less vulnerable to future disruptions.

In fact, over 52 percent of businesses identified the investment in enterprise technology such as ERP, BI and CRM as a key strategic focus area. The goal here is better clarity and transparency of information across the business to enable enhanced decision-making in real-time. According to Sanjay Galal, CFO, SYSPRO Asia Pacific, "Enterprise Resource Planning and Business Intelligence were identified as vital, thanks to their information-gathering, processing and analysis capabilities. In uncertain trading conditions, better, more accurate and more timeous data allows for smarter decision making, as well as supporting strategic decisions through trend identification and assessment."

The study goes on to reveal that 44% of respondents singled out warehouse and advanced manufacturing process automation as a key focus area. This is to some extent a decision that has been imposed on manufacturing concerns by the pandemic, but it also suggests a longer-term outlook in which many current human roles will be replaced in the name of both efficiency and safety.

"The challenge for the CFO 4.0 will be to continue to deliver financial leadership whilst also focusing on more strategic and operational aspects. In preparing for the role of CFO 4.0, businesses need to embrace technology, empower people through upskilling initiatives and have a clear business case for Industry 4.0." concludes Sanjay.

OKEx resumes withdrawals of digital assets

Leave a comment

Restoring its full range of services for all users

VALLETTA, Malta, Nov. 27, 2020 — OKEx (www.okex.com), a world-leading cryptocurrency spot and derivatives exchange, has restored its full range of services for its users by reopening withdrawals of all digital assets as of 8:00 am UTC, Nov. 26. The OKEx team ran comprehensive security checks prior to resuming normal operations of the hot wallet system to ensure the safety of users’ funds.

As part of its continued pledge to full transparency, OKEx has always maintained 100% of reserves since its inception. As such, users are able to withdraw funds with no restrictions. Alongside reopening withdrawals, the Malta-based exchange is offering generous loyalty rewards for users as a gesture of appreciation for their support and understanding during this time. 

While all other operations of the exchange remained unaffected, withdrawals from OKEx were temporarily suspended on Oct. 16 to guarantee the safety of users’ assets, which remains OKEx’s number-one priority at all times. Over the years, the exchange has gained unrivaled experience in safely operating digital wallets, assets and transactions with no major security incidents. 

"We are pleased to be back to operating at full capacity, with all trading activity, deposits and withdrawals functioning as expected and security measures in place to ensure the safety of user assets. Beyond continuing to provide more diverse products, trading tools and innovative solutions for our customers, the security of their funds is our primary concern," said OKEx CEO Jay Hao. 

OKEx maintains rigorous security standards to ensure the safety of digital assets through a combination of cold storage and a hot wallet system that is protected by the exchange’s online and semi-online risk-management systems, semi-offline multisignature services, big data risk-management systems and other protection mechanisms. Working together, they check for abnormal behaviors in transaction amount or frequency and delay or refuse any transactions deemed suspicious, thereby quickly preventing large withdrawals from malicious actors.

The exchange also has an extensive backup mechanism in place for private key holders to ensure that each holder can trigger the activation of the backup private key in the event of long-term incapacitation, such as death or memory loss. On this occasion, however, OKEx had failed to take other specific scenarios into account, such as private key holders becoming unreachable due to unforeseen circumstances. 

"We are working hard to restore user trust and will be rolling out a solution to improve our internal processes so that we can try our best to prevent this type of situation from happening in the future," Jay Hao added.

OKEx has secured its reputation and position as a world-leading exchange through its continued innovation and diverse product offering as well as strict adherence to laws and regulations around the world, establishing robust Know Your Customer checks and anti-money laundering mechanisms. Building on its solid platform and loyal user base in conjunction with continued collaboration with regulators, OKEx looks forward to continuing to serve customers and furthering the development of the blockchain space.

OneConnect Financial Technology cements presence in Malaysia with new entity; Launch graced by MDEC

Leave a comment

SHENZHEN, China, Nov. 26, 2020 — OneConnect Financial Technology Co., Ltd. (NYSE: OCFT), the leading technology-as-a-service platform provider and an associate of Ping An Insurance Group, reaffirms its commitment as the trusted tech partner for financial institutions in Malaysia with the launch of its new entity, OneConnect Smart Technology (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd. In line with its Southeast Asia expansion strategy, Malaysia is a key growth engine where OneConnect plans to build a local team that stands ready to serve financial institutions across Malaysia and support its regional projects. The launch was graced by Dato’ Ng Wan Peng, Chief Operating Officer of the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC).

Malaysia’s fintech space is thriving

Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) has launched several initiatives in a move to embrace financial inclusion and the shift in banking habits towards digital channels. These include the announcement last year that it will issue new digital banking licenses and the publication of an Electronic Know-Your-Customer (eKYC) guideline on 30 June 2020. The move has given a boost to the nation’s banking and fintech players that are ready to accelerate digital transformation and adopt fintech innovations.

"Fintech had garnered lots of attention for its astonishing potential in impacting lives and changing economies. Since it appeared, fintech helped enable ordinary people to access financial products securely and efficiently. At the same time, it also accelerated the economic growths of many countries. In order to enhance the development of the fintech ecosystem for this country, the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) will continue to engage start-ups, investors and innovators from around the world to yield positive outcomes via its continuous efforts in expanding and innovating the fintech industry. As OneConnect has established a regional presence in Malaysia, it reinforces the fact that Malaysia is an attractive investment destination. In fact, many fintech and data ecosystem players come to Malaysia specifically for its vibrant testbed environment and the multi-cultural background of its talent pool and their digital savviness and language proficiency in technical subjects," shared Dato’ Ng Wan Peng, Chief Operating Officer, MDEC.

According to the e-Conomy SEA 2020 Report[1], consumers and SMEs have adopted digital financial services like never before. In Malaysia, over the various Movement Control Order periods, many turned to the Internet for solutions to their challenges. A significant number tried new digital services – 36 per cent of all digital service consumers were new – with 92 per cent of these new consumers intending to continue their behaviour post-pandemic. Year-to-date, Malaysia has also seen a 33 per cent monthly active user growth for select mobile banking apps.

The scene is an important preamble to the ongoing digital transformation taking place in the financial landscape and it signifies a positive sign for OneConnect who has market-ready solutions for insurtech and full-stack digital banking technologies including end-to-end frictionless account opening and onboarding, smart lending, and an eKYC solution that recognises MyKad.

Committed to the growth of Malaysia’s financial sector

OneConnect is committed to being the trusted tech enabler in digital transformation for financial institutions.

Backed by Ping An’s 32 years of experience in the financial industry and an extensive track record as the tech enabler, OneConnect is able to bring to Malaysia the breadth and depth of proven solutions, and journey with its clients through their digital transformation roadmap.

Echoing the same, Tan Bin Ru, CEO (Southeast Asia) of OneConnect Financial Technology, said, "Malaysia is of strategic importance to OneConnect. The country is home to five local banks that are 20 of Southeast Asia’s largest banks, enjoying strong regional presence. Bank Negara Malaysia’s decision to open its door to digital banking bodes well for our Southeast Asia expansion strategy. One of our unique value propositions that our clients value much is the breadth and depth of our solutions which becomes a breeze when they can have a single strategic tech partner to integrate a full suite of digital solutions and work alongside their team through phases of their transformation plan. We see a lot of potential in Malaysia and with our new office being set up, we will be able to contribute our deep market knowledge and ready solutions to the local banks and financial institutions in Malaysia."

She added, "Having served all the major banks and more than half of the insurance companies in China, we have amassed extensive track records in enabling digital transformations for, and accumulated a wealth of bespoke experience in the banking, insurance and ecosystem realms. Since the setting up of our regional headquarters in Singapore in 2018, more than 50 clients across Southeast Asia and other parts of Asia, as well as the UAE and Europe have entrusted us to be their tech expert." 

Serving the needs of leading financial institutions in Malaysia

OneConnect currently serves a global insurance player and three of the top five local banks in Malaysia It has collaborated with RHB Bank and another top five local bank where it collaborated on the development of two firsts-of-its-kind services that were launched in Malaysia recently. It is also collaborating with CIMB Philippines to enhance digital banking technologies in The Philippines.

OneConnect has partnered with RHB Bank to develop an omnichannel platform that fully digitalises the SME loan experience. The omnichannel platform – comprising the RHB Financing (SME) mobile app for customers, a sales app for the bank’s relationship managers and a seamless SME loan management website – utilises OneConnect’s artificial intelligence (AI) and eKYC technologies. Launched in August as Malaysia’s first AI-powered SME financing mobile app, the app automates and simplifies onboarding process where SMEs only need to submit two scanned documents – MyKad and a bank statement – via their mobile phones to apply for loans. The omnichannel platform lets RHB serve SMEs more efficiently by reducing the back-office processes and operating costs. The bank aims to provide RM500 million in financing facilities to support small businesses in the next year.

OneConnect also partnered with another top five local bank to develop a mobile banking app powered by its eKYC solution, making this the first eKYC solution approved by BNM to launch in Malaysia in October. The app is the first in Malaysia launched by a bank to deliver a truly digital onboarding experience without having to visit any physical branch. Customers can open an account and bank safely anytime and anywhere amidst the ongoing pandemic.

Yao Jing, Head of Strategy and Business Development (Singapore and Malaysia), OneConnect Financial Technology, said, "Our deep market knowledge and ready solutions for Malaysia aptly position us to meet the local needs. We are grateful for the trust and confidence that some of the largest financial institutions in Malaysia have given us and we will continue to deepen the relationships with our valued clients. We see ourselves as a strong tech player in this space, and are dedicated to supporting and enabling the digital banking ecosystem here. We will continue to forge collaborations and work closely with financial institutions and other stakeholders, including Bank Negara Malaysia, and nurture the local tech talents as we walk this journey of a transformational landscape together."

OneConnect plans to hire local talents to grow a product and engineering team who will provide support for clients in Malaysia and have the opportunities to work on its regional projects.

Chengdu making strong push to foster next-gen AI technology

Leave a comment

CHENGDU, China, Nov. 27, 2020 — Chengdu, capital city of Southwest China’s Sichuan province, is working to develop a national pilot zone for advancing next-generation artificial intelligence.

Chengdu Supercomputing Center, the first of its kind in Southwest China, started trial operations in September.
Chengdu Supercomputing Center, the first of its kind in Southwest China, started trial operations in September.

The Chengdu municipal government revealed an action plan promoting the development of an AI-centered pilot zone in November.

According to the plan, Chengdu will invest more than 100 billion yuan ($15.2 billion) in over 170 major projects over two years to support the regional AI industry. It will focus on developing a core area, an innovation hub and several industrial parks.

The core zone is the Chengdu Hi-tech Industrial Development Zone, a national-level innovation center in the city. It is projected to have more than 10 billion yuan in AI-related industrial output value by 2022.

The Tianfu New Area, home to the Chengdu Science City, will be a hub of AI innovation. It is estimated that the scale of its AI industry will surpass 5 billion yuan in 2022.

AI technologies will also be applied in 10 industrial parks including Tianfu Smart Production Industrial Park and Qingbaijiang European Industrial Park to support regional industrial upgrades.

In September, Chinese communication technology giant Huawei agreed to build an AI-based big data center in the Chengdu Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone. The project will result in an integrated big data processing center to serve economic development of Chengdu and its neighboring Chongqing city. There will also be three platforms to support Chengdu’s urban management, AI innovation and digital economy. Huawei’s total investment will be around 10.9 billion yuan.

According to local officials, the urban management platform will support smart development in fields such as traffic, security, healthcare, contingency management, education and environmental protection. The innovation-supporting platform will help local research institutes carry out advanced technology development.

Representatives from Huawei said the big data center will help the company build an industrial chain with products and solutions "developed in Chengdu, manufactured in Chengdu, and applied in Chengdu and beyond". The big data center will support Huawei’s research and development while meeting computing and data storage demand of key industries across the city.

The center will bring Huawei’s advanced technologies in 5G, cloud, AI and computing to serve Chengdu’s new infrastructure projects and smart city construction, the telecoms giant said.

In June, Chinese internet search giant Baidu joined hands with the Chengdu Hi-tech Industrial Development Zone to promote its self-driving taxi service, the Apollo Go Robotaxi, in Chengdu. The movement will support the autonomous driving sector’s development in the city.

Chengdu Supercomputing Center, the first of its kind in Southwest China, started trial operations in September. Government officials said the supercomputing center will strongly support AI industry growth in the region.

A representative from the center said designers had considered using the center to support local AI development even before its construction started. The center can meet various AI computing demands and will help to lower developers’ investment and operational costs.

In the future, the center will attract more computing professionals while establishing partnerships with leading universities and institutes.

To build a national pilot zone for next-generation AI, Chengdu will promote cooperation among universities, research institutions and enterprises for industrialization of research results. The zone is expected to become an important technological engine to drive local growth, making Chengdu and the broader region that encompasses Chengdu and Chongqing an influential innovation hub in China.

The move is expected to create a better development environment for businesses, allowing them to enjoy better infrastructure, data and talent resources, according to local officials.

Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA) begins performance test.

SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 27, 2020 — As Korea has controlled COVID19 quite successfully, ‘K-Quarantine’ has been highly recognized.  More international students wish to come to Korea for studies and the ‘international students’ matching platform based on Blockchain’ developed by Dain Leaders(http://www.dainleaders.com/), a Blockchain edutech specialist of Korea, has attracted attention.

China.org.cn: Seminar calls for global poverty reduction innovation, cooperation amidst pandemic

Leave a comment

BEIJING, Nov. 26, 2020 — The 2020 International Seminar on Global Poverty Reduction Partnerships was held in Longnan city, Gansu province, China, on Nov. 24. More than 100 participants from governments, academia, international organizations, NGOs, and the private sector attended the seminar. High-level representatives from the UN, officials from developing countries in Latin America and Africa attended the seminar online.

The 2020 International Seminar on Global Poverty Reduction Partnerships was held in Longnan city, Gansu province, China, on Nov. 24.
The 2020 International Seminar on Global Poverty Reduction Partnerships was held in Longnan city, Gansu province, China, on Nov. 24.

This year’s session was themed on global poverty reduction innovation and cooperation amidst pandemic. The conference provided an opportunity for attendees to learn about poverty reduction practices and achievements and discuss how to narrow the digital divide around the world, help impoverished people benefit from digital innovation, and enhance anti-pandemic cooperation and poverty reduction knowledge sharing.

Gansu’s last eight poverty-stricken counties had been removed from the poverty list, and the province now sees all of its 75 impoverished counties out of poverty, the provincial government announced last Saturday.

Tang Renjian, governor of the People’s Government of Gansu Province, mentioned that Gansu has seen 5.675 million people out of absolute poverty since 2013 and that the local government has provided a total of 83.68 billion yuan of poverty reduction funding since 2016. He also stated that a comprehensive policy system has been implemented to ensure that people stricken by poverty have access to education, medical care, housing, and clean water, completing all the poverty reduction tasks in impoverished areas.

Du Zhanyuan, president of the China International Publishing Group (CIPG) said: "Poverty eradication is part of the world history and is a global endeavor that people have been involved with in various ways for a long time." Du stressed that it is important to combine things like economic development, culture, and digital infrastructure, and it is also vital to protect basic rights through economic development and bridge the digital gap via digital poverty alleviation. 

Chen Zhigang, vice minister of the State Council Leading Group Office of Poverty Alleviation and Development (LGOP), noted that China has made a lot of efforts to offset the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. He emphasized that the country has "established an analysis and response mechanism to effectively prevent people from falling back to poverty and provide targeted assistance." Chen also pointed out that the general public has made efforts to promote poverty reduction by purchasing more than 200 billion yuan (US$30.34 billion) of poverty alleviation-oriented products this year.

Ye Anping, director of the South-South and Triangular Cooperation Division, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), stated via live video feed that digital tools and technologies are essential to the development of the food system and sustainable agriculture and emphasized the importance of global access. "The massive reduction of poverty in China over the past 40 years since the reform and opening up is one of the great success stories of modern times in the area of global economic and social development," he stressed. "E-commerce in China is an innovative approach to connecting smallholder farmers and big markets and is evolving rapidly."

Ron Hartman, director of the Global Engagement, Partnership and Resource Mobilization, International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) said via video that poverty reduction is a multifaceted undertaking that requires innovation and that there is "no quick fix." It is very important to balance four major factors related to food — sufficient supply, affordable prices, planetary boundaries, and the needs of small-scale farmers. He told participants that investment in agriculture is two to three times more effective when engaging in poverty reduction than in other areas and that farmers can be helped in four main ways, namely by putting them at center stage with regard to policymakers and other leaders, guaranteeing access to financial services so that they can access key inputs at the right times, ensuring that suitable cutting-edge technologies are available to them, and by strengthening partnerships with entities such as the private sector and civil society.

Stanlake Samkange, senior director of Strategic Partnerships, World Food Programme (WFP), stated that cooperation between China and the WFP is essential via Zoom. He noted that the two have embarked on a new era of partnership in order to end global hunger, eradicate poverty, and support the achievement of the SDGs globally by sharing lessons learned from China’s successful poverty relief and developmental experience, developing partnerships with public and private organizations, and piloting innovative and replicable programs in order to reduce food insecurity and reach the last mile in China and other countries.

Jose Luis Gioja, deputy speaker of the House of Representatives of Argentina and chairman of the Partido Justicialista, remarked via video that his country is willing to further its experience sharing with nations like China in order to inspire solutions for the people who need them most so that the challenges caused by COVID-19 can be addressed. "Seeking a proper way to eradicate poverty is the basis for China and Argentina to enhance our cooperation," he mentioned. "I hope our two countries can strive for a better future without poverty."

Xiang Huangmei, vice president of the Alibaba Group, said that the company has been committed to utilizing digital methods of poverty eradication in China and beyond and remarked that e-commerce-oriented livestreaming is a concrete example of the digital economy. "It’s a demonstration to the power of poverty alleviation through online consumption," she noted.

The multilingual book Keywords to Understand China: Targeted Poverty Reduction and English version of the book The Way Forward 2020: Stories of Poverty Reduction in China were presented to the foreign participants. The former shares China’s poverty alleviation practices, providing its experience to the rest of the world by telling the stories of people’s efforts to eliminate poverty. It aims to boost confidence between countries to join hands together to fight global poverty. The latter is a collection of 25 poverty reduction stories written by 11 writers from a foreign perspective. It focuses on poverty alleviation via industrial development in China’s 15 provinces and regions.

Gao Anming, vice president and editor-in-chief of CIPG, announced the awards associated with the case studies that were submitted for the first compilation of the second call of the Global Solicitation on Best Poverty Reduction Practices.

A half-hour-long livestreaming event devoted to the sale of poverty alleviation-oriented products was held one day before the seminar. With the assistance of the Alibaba Group, 6.5 tons of apples from Gansu’s Li county were sold within the first five minutes of the livestreaming. Dr. Marielza Oliveira, FAO Representative ad interim in China, said that providing high-quality agricultural products to consumers in China and other countries at favorable prices promoted poverty alleviation through online consumption.

The International Seminar on Global Poverty Reduction Partnerships, held for three consecutive years since 2017, plays an important role in strengthening global poverty reduction partnerships. This year’s session was organized by three United Nations Rome-based agencies (RBAs) — FAO, IFAD, and WFP – in cooperation with the China International Publishing Group (CIPG), the People’s Government of Gansu Province, the International Poverty Reduction Center in China (IPRCC), and the China Internet Information Center (CIIC).
