eBaoCloud InsureMO Accelerates Insurance Customer Growth on AWS

Leave a comment

Over the last year, Aegon Life has strengthened its position as a digital insurer by leveraging eBaoCloud’s InsureMO on AWS to gain speed and agility

NEW YORK, July 30, 2020 — eBaoTech Corporation (eBaoTech), a global leader in digital insurance solutions, announced that Aegon Life has joined more than 10 new clients across the US, Brazil, India, Botswana, Philippines, Indonesia, and Singapore – ranging from insurance carriers, insurtech startups, and digital channel partners – that have turned to InsureMO™ on Amazon Web Services (AWS) for increased agility and innovation, including faster product launches and new channel integrations.

Aegon Life India chose InsureMO on AWS, to help extend investments in core systems without wholesale replacement of those systems. Core systems are often a barrier to digital innovation, new products across new channels delivering a better user experience, and replacing them is often too costly and time consuming. eBaoCloud InsureMO provides an API-based modernization layer around core systems that enables configuration of new insurance policy types, integration to new channels and partners, and rapid development and deployment of new products with low launch costs that drive new policy volumes at scale. For example, Aegon Life was able to launch its group platform with an eCommerce company within six weeks, which otherwise would have taken months.

Additional benefits for Aegon Life include:

  • Multiple lines of businesses running off a single platform enabled by InsureMO
  • API support for distribution partners willing to do servicing beyond just sales (making Aegon Life one of a few carriers capable of providing this type of support)
  • Shortening new product launches from months to 2-3 weeks
  • Launching new insurance plans for affinity partners in less than a day
  • Reducing the partner onboarding process from weeks to 1-3 days

All of these benefits are enabled by the scale, resiliency, and agility AWS offers.

eBaoCloud® InsureMO™ platform is based on a microservices architecture and contains common APIs needed to manage the whole lifecycle of General (P&C), Life, and Health insurance policies. This includes quotation, illustration, underwriting, payment, and claims. The platform can seamlessly integrate with external applications and services such as Optical Character Recognition (OCR), voice recognition, payment, and location by API calls. InsureMO also supports third parties to develop APIs and register on InsureMO. The availability of templates enables product configuration and speed. Currently, over 3,000 products templates from over 120 insurance companies across more than 10 countries have been configured on eBaoCloud InsureMO.

“The term ‘Digital Transformation’ in insurance is no longer about just replacing your legacy core with a modern core system. The need is to package and launch products in matter of days and connect to multiple channels. eBaoCloud’s  InsureMO platform solves the same problem with the ‘3V‘ proposition (massive Volume, Velocity and Variation) without waiting for legacy core replacements and driving API-led connectivity to enable any insurance scenarios from Life, General, Group, and Health,”  Rajat Sharma, Corporate VP and Head of Sales and Strategy commented, “We are very excited to work with AWS and rely on them, with the broadest global presence, to quickly roll out InsureMO during this critical industry revolution era.”

InsureMO’s first client in India, Douglas Kennedy, Chief Technology Officer, Aegon Life Insurance said, “We are delighted to be included in the first wave of partnerships for eBaoCloud InsureMO on AWS in India. This association will help us continue to be the differentiators in the industry and achieve greater speed to market and speed to value. The first launch of our group platform with an eCommerce player was achieved within six weeks of signing our partnership with eBaoTech demonstrating by having the right teams, right architecture, right vision you can run at great speed.”

Ralph Severini, Global Strategy Lead, AWS Insurance Independent Software Vendors, Amazon Web Services, Inc. said, “AWS is delighted to support eBaoTech as they leverage the agility and scale of the cloud to bring new and innovative products to market faster with the goal of providing richer experiences for their customers. AWS’s collaboration with eBao provides Aegon Life with the foundation to achieve accelerated growth at scale and support expedited policy delivery, which their customers have come to expect.”

eBaoTech holds AWS Financial Services Competency status and is an Advanced Technology Partner in the AWS Partner Network (APN). Achieving the AWS Financial Services Competency differentiates eBaoTech as an APN member that possesses deep industry expertise, solutions designed with AWS architectural best practices, and staff with AWS certifications. APN Partners are vetted, validated, and verified against a high bar to achieve the AWS Competency designation.

The company ably addresses the need for convergence with advanced products that are simple to use

LONDON, July 30, 2020 — Based on its recent analysis of the global building automation systems (BAS) market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Delta Controls, Inc. with the 2020 Global Company of the Year Award. Its development and convergence of technologies, strategic partnerships, best-in-class technical support, as well as internationalization and growth diversification strategies set it apart in a highly competitive market. With more than 400 distributors in 80+ countries, the company has ensured significant geographic coverage for its solutions.

“The O3 Sensor Hub 2.0, Delta Controls’ IoT-enabled solution, utilizes sensor fusion technology with standard built-in building automation protocols. It reports interior temperature, occupancy, humidity, lighting, heating, and serves as a connectivity platform for sensing air quality, ventilation, window contact, and shade position to an edge system controller,” said Neha, industry analyst. “Individual O3 Sensor Hubs and edge controllers can be connected via the cloud to Delta Controls’ enteliWEB facility and energy management software to track and control building conditions and energy usage.”

The solution’s machine-learning algorithms use real-time conditions of monitored spaces to model occupancy profiles at certain times of day, create seasonal or longer-term temperature profiles, and detect potential problems with subsystems or individual assets. Future versions of the product will feature scream or gunshot detection and put an emergency response in motion. It also takes television and projector remote controls off the boardroom table by emulating the infrared remote control signals. Furthermore, a pair of onboard inputs/outputs allow the user to control connected equipment such as lighting. The ceiling-mounted, touch-free system ensures safety, security, and energy efficiency as unauthorized people are not permitted to change the settings.

To drive up adoption, the company has taken system integration to the next level. Its Sensor Hub open platform IoT device supports multiple protocols that allow it to integrate with almost any system, including native BACnet, MQTT and REST API for third-party integration, and BLE API for custom app development. Furthermore, the company’s cybersecurity center conducts hardening analyses for all networked assets, including penetration testing to identify and rectify vulnerabilities. Adopting the Earthright ethos, the company practices and helps clients achieve sustainability through energy-efficient buildings.

“Delta Controls has ambitions to diversify its growth beyond its core markets. It has extended its reach to India through OEM partnerships and has established a footprint in the competitive Chinese market,” noted Tatikota. “It also offers a cost-effective software-as-a-service option for commercial office space, retail, education, and healthcare customers that want a connected digital experience and bundled smart solutions. These solid expansion strategies, backed by visionary technology development and product leadership, have positioned Delta Controls as a serious contender in the global BAS market.”

Cinemas reopen across China after unprecedented closure

Leave a comment

BEIJING, July 30, 2020 — A news report by China.org.cn on the reopening of China’s cinemas:

 

 

Since last week, cinemas in low-risk regions of China have reopened for business. This means that after six months in the dark, the country’s movie theaters can finally accept customers again, and China’s film market can begin where it left off.

According to the pandemic control requirements, movie theaters are now required to keep attendance under 30% capacity for each screening and strictly disinfect venues every day. Moviegoers must undergo temperature checks prior to admission, should sit in non-adjacent seats, and need to wear face masks when watching films. Currently, theaters are mainly screening hit domestic and foreign films, such as “The Wandering Earth”, “Coco” and “Zootopia.” Several new domestic movies are also set for release in the coming months.

On the first day of reopening, cinemas in cities such as Nanjing, Chengdu and Hangzhou quickly sold out. With the Shanghai International Film Festival opening on July 25 and screening more than 300 films, tickets for the event also sold out almost entirely in three minutes. In total, over 100,000 tickets were sold within just 10 minutes of presales being launched.

This year, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an unprecedented shutdown of the global movie industry. China’s film market has also encountered huge difficulties. By March this year, more than 2,000 cinema enterprises had closed permanently across the country, with estimated losses in box office revenue for the year amounting to more than 30 billion yuan (US$4.27 billion).

China is the world’s second largest film market. During the past two decades, with increases in economic development and consumption, and through the opening-up of markets and deepening reforms, the Chinese film market has maintained rapid growth in terms of market scale and production. In 2019, the country had nearly 70,000 screens, while the annual box office gross peaked as high as 64.27 billion yuan (US$9.17 billion). This shows that China’s film market has robust demand and potential, which will be unleashed gradually over time.

Although there are still many complex and difficult problems facing cinemas as they resume operations, the reopening is significant. It conveys positive signals that China’s economy is starting to recover from the pandemic, and social life is beginning to get back on track. For the global film market, the reopening of Chinese cinemas is also good news. Hopefully, it won’t be long before China’s film market resumes to its usual prosperity.

Frost & Sullivan: Proliferation of Edge Computing and Testing M2M Solutions to Drive IoT Test and Measurement Market by 2025

Leave a comment

Understanding the performance of proprietary applications on connected devices outside the enterprise secure network infrastructure will be a key challenge

SANTA CLARA, California, July 30, 2020 — Frost & Sullivan’s recent analysis, Growth Opportunities in Test and Measurement in the IoT Market, Forecast to 2025, finds that because of COVID-19 the proliferation of machine-to-machine (M2M) devices will decrease during 2020. This will have a significant impact on the demand for testing equipment that validates their performance (with the exception of equipment for connected health applications). Frost & Sullivan expects growth to rebound by 2021, with revenue ultimately expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1% to reach $3.25 billion by 2025, up from $2.40 billion in 2019.

"5G development for IoT use cases will continue to be important during the pandemic. Given the complex nature of its deployment, there would be a requirement for software-based testing solutions that can test virtualized 5G network slices as well as test broad frequency spectrums," said Rohan Joy Thomas, Measurement & Instrumentation industry analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "Going forward, understanding the performance of proprietary applications on connected devices outside the enterprise secure network infrastructure is a key challenge that test and measurement companies need to resolve.

"Of all the IoT applications, test and measurement solutions that are used to test M2M applications in the connected home environment are the most dominant, representing 45.7% of all IoT test applications. As the healthcare sector plays a crucial role in combating COVID-19, test and measurement solutions used for connected health applications will experience the highest CAGR of all applications over the forecast period."

(NASDAQ: RCON) ("Recon" or the "Company"), today announced that its 51% subsidiary, Gan Su BHD Environmental Technology Co., Ltd ("Gan Su BHD"), received the official 3-year hazardous waste operating permit on July 27, 2020 issued by the Environmental Protection Bureau of Gansu Province.

In addition, Gansu BHD has received a new order from the North China Branch of China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation ("Sinopec") to dispose 1,680 tons of oily sludge in Gansu Pingliang work zone. The value for this order is about RMB3.6 million ($0.5 million).

As previously disclosed by the Company, Gansu BHD purchased 50 year land use rights of a piece of 26,235 square meter land to construct a comprehensive disposal treatment facility to mainly serve the oilfield sewage treatment needs of Yumen Oilfield Company, China’s first petroleum production base and a PetroChina Co., Ltd. ("PetroChina") subsidiary. The construction completed in January 2020.

As of today, Gansu BHD also provides services and treatment solution to Sinopec’s Gansu branch.

Mr. Guangqiang Chen, co-founder and CTO of Recon, stated, "With the official permit, Gansu BHD can eventually provide large scale treatment service to clients. Affected by Covid-19, Gansu BHD’s operation was postponed temporally. By far, we have resumed its operation. We have transported about 5,000 tons of oily sludge to our factory disposal site and are ready to process it so it can meet the requirements of national environmental laws and regulations. We have also received the major part of the services fees for this project from the client, demonstrating the trust and the confidence from our clients on Gansu BHD’s treatment advantage and capacity. We believe Gansu BHD’s performance will be reflected in our financial results gradually from mid-2020 and we expect more development on this disposal business."

Premium Networks Build Differentiated Competitiveness for Carriers

Leave a comment

SHENZHEN, China, July 30, 2020 — Huawei hosted the "Premium Networks, Better Digital World" session at Better World Summit 2020. During this online session, global carriers, IDC analyst, and Huawei discussed how carriers can differentiate their services and improve networks to ensure businesses thrive.

Keynote speakers from IDC, China Telecom Anhui, China Mobile Guangdong, China Telecom Ningxia, Turkcell, and Huawei
Keynote speakers from IDC, China Telecom Anhui, China Mobile Guangdong, China Telecom Ningxia, Turkcell, and Huawei

Differentiated networks will be a competitive edge for carriers

The rapid digitalization of the ICT industry, along with the wider deployment of 5G, growth of online education during the recent global health epidemic, and public cloud, have put greater pressure on network infrastructure. Gary Lu, President of Huawei’s Network Marketing & Solution Sales Dept, said: "Industrial digitalization will accelerate in the next 5 years, and individuals, homes, and enterprises will also be more demanding of the services they receive. We think it’s better for carriers to replace best-effort services with differentiated services that have guaranteed SLAs. That’s how they can monetize network values and stand out from competitors."

Matt Eastwood, Senior Vice President of IDC, delivered a speech on the topic of "Digital Transformation and Its Impact of Scale and Automation". He stated that carriers should plan and build future target networks based on the key architecture index (KAI) model to prepare for industry digital transformation.

Embracing F5G, Fiber is Gold Future

Richard Jin, President of Huawei’s Transmission and Access Network Product Line, said: "Fiber is gold. Fiber is future. Fiber to everywhere. Optical connectivity underpins optimal service experience. Huawei’s AirPON solution helps mobile carriers efficiently build FTTH networks to deploy ubiquitous optical connections. eAI ONTs and OLTs  with distributed intelligence increases carriers’ revenues and reduce churn rate by ensuring optimal E2E experience of home services. OTN premium private line solution improves the quality of connectivity for many enterprises with premium networking and cloud services, and helps the carriers to better address enterprise market."

Lv Pin, Vice President of China Telecom Anhui, shared some use cases of premium Wi-Fi and e-guarding for smart homes. Meanwhile, Cai Weiwen, Board Director and Vice President of China Mobile Guangdong, shared all-optical innovations and commercial use cases of Cloud VR, optics TV (OTV), OTN premium private networks, and 5G services for high-speed trains. These technologies combine to build a better communication platform for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

All-service intelligent IP network with guaranteed SLAs

IP networks are at the heart of the 5G and cloud era and need to support high-quality all-service transmission. Kevin Hu, President of Huawei’s Data Communication Product Line, said: "In the 5G and cloud era, the IP network needs to achieve high bandwidth and availability, going beyond the best-effort consumer transport network to become a production transport network with guaranteed SLAs. Accordingly, Huawei is launching NetEngine 8000 series routers designed for an IP network featuring ultra-broadband, intelligent connectivity and O&M. This will meet the 5G service requirements during enterprise cloudification, thereby boosting the business growth of carriers."

Luo Rui, Vice President of China Telecom Ningxia, spoke about applying Huawei’s intelligent IP private line solution into FIRST private networks for government, healthcare, and education users, implementing seamless connection between high-quality networks and clouds. Faruk Ekici, Head of Turkcell’s Transport Network Planning, talked about the construction of a converged and programmable 5G-ready IP transport network, and looked into further leadership with next-generation IP technologies.

iMaster NCE accelerating FBB network autonomy for agile business

We are heading to a fully connected, intelligent world. Network automation and intelligence are indispensable for premium experience and all-service transmission. David Lu, President of Huawei’s General Development Dept, pointed out that: "Autonomous networks are highly recognized by the standards agencies and the goal for carriers’ transformation. Huawei iMaster NCE, an FBB-oriented intelligent management and control system, focuses on 5G and F5G value scenarios and gradually implements automatic, self-healing, and self-optimized autonomous networks. iMaster NCE guarantees optimal SLA before, during, and after sales. Furthermore, it utilizes AI and big data technologies to implement proactive O&M, which translates into higher O&M efficiency and better network operation quality."

Premium networks open up brand new opportunities for carriers. Let’s work together to seize these opportunities, and create a better digital world that delivers value for all.

Wix Helps Bring First-of-its-kind Remote Learning Initiative to Philippines Department of Education

Leave a comment

Over 43,000 e-learning sites built and launched in two days on Wix

NEW YORK, July 30, 2020 — Wix.com, Ltd. (NASDAQ: WIX), the global leader in website creation, announced today the results of a first-of-its-kind project independently initiated by the Philippines Department of Education under Philippine’s "Digital Rise Program" that will bring e-learning curriculums to back-to-school programs starting in August.

"With COVID-19 restrictions in place, small businesses, entrepreneurs, and schools across the world experienced unprecedented transitions to operating exclusively online. This disruption was particularly devastating for schools, which had to pivot to full-time remote learning with little time to prepare," said Dror Shaked, Senior Vice President at Wix. "In May 2020, amid the pandemic, tens of thousands of teachers and schools came together with a joint mission — to bring the Philippines education system online — and in only two days, 43,000 e-learning sites were created for schools to make available digital curricula online," said Shaked.

As part of the growing movement to digitize schools, the Digital Rise Program will facilitate the transition to e-learning for the local schools and provide them with step-by-step support. This coordination will exclusively be handled by teachers and schools. Students will be able to access all of the e-learning content without having to log in and will only be able to consult the e-learning content available on the Wix websites.

To make this vision possible, all volunteers have been trained on their own platform by the education department and have created 43,000 sites for schools in the Philippines. These volunteers have set a standard for success, not only for the Philippines Department of Education, but also for other developing countries who are looking to improve their e-learning education curricula in the years to come.

"We are excited about this first-of-its kind digital education initiative for the Philippines Education Department because it sparks empowerment for all learners," said Abram Abanil, ICTS Director. "A regular teacher has been able to create their site on Wix with zero coding experience in order to make their digital curriculum accessible. This is the future of education, and we are thrilled to provide access to educational content through Wix’s generous resources," said Abanil.
