PT. ALTO Network Partners with INETCO to Secure Indonesia’s National Payment Gateway

Leave a comment

INETCO’s real-time payment fraud detection platform increases the security of every end-to-end payment transaction

VANCOUVER, Canada, Dec. 3, 2020 — INETCO Systems Limited, a leader in real-time payment fraud prevention, today announced that PT. ALTO Network (ALTO), a National Payment Gateway for Indonesia, has chosen the INETCO Insight software to deliver world-class performance and security monitoring. This partnership further supports the National Non-Cash Movement and Bank Indonesia’s National Payment System vision.

ALTO is Indonesia’s leading provider of end-to-end payment switching and digital banking solutions. Licensed by Bank Indonesia as the institution that implements the National Payment Gateway (GPN) to uphold the interconnection and interoperability of Indonesia’s national payment system. Providing services to 40+ issuing and acquiring member banks, ALTO connects to 100,000+ automated teller machines (ATMs) and 1,000,000+ electronic data capture (EDC) machines across Indonesia. In September 2020, ALTO announced a partnership with Visa for domestic debit-card transaction processing. ALTO implemented the INETCO Insight payment monitoring and analytics platform to comply with Visa security regulations and guarantee the stability and safety of every end-to-end payment transaction.

 "Payment fraud is greatly under regulated in Indonesia," said Patricco Baron, CTO at PT. ALTO Network. "Together, with world-class partners such as INETCO, we can actively work to prevent card present and card-not-present fraud attacks. We want to make customers feel safe when it comes to digital payment migration and help our member banks protect themselves against financial loss and a tarnished reputation – neither of which can be easily recovered." 

The ALTO fraud risk team relies on INETCO Insight to identify and analyze transaction-level payment fraud attacks in milliseconds – before major financial loss, customer risk or reputational harm occurs. The round trip performance of every domestic ATM, debit and inter-bank funds transfer transaction is correlated and profiled in real-time, giving ALTO complete visibility across 120+ links that include:

  • From every issuing and acquiring member bank to the ALTO Retail Payment Solution (RPS) switch
  • From the ALTO RPS switch to the host authorization points

In addition to visibility across the end-to-end payment journey, INETCO Insight decodes all protocol message fields contained within each transaction, including message types, card numbers, amounts, transaction dates and times, response codes, terminal IDs and ISO 8583 messages. These are the data fields that the ALTO fraud risk team uses to meet Visa security requirements, and to feed proactive rules-based alerts, fraud analytics, predictive machine learning models and real-time risk scoring for each individual customer – instantly updated every time a transaction occurs.  

"INETCO is dedicated to helping ALTO deliver world-class payment security and service excellence to all their member banks and customers," says Bijan Sanii, CEO of INETCO. "We have a proven track record of increasing the safety and stability of payment transactions, and are excited by the opportunity to drive financial inclusion and the adoption of non-cash payments across Indonesia."

Databricks Launches SQL Analytics to Enable BI on Data Lakes

Leave a comment

First in the industry to realize Lakehouse vision, Databricks delivers up to 9x better price/performance than traditional cloud data warehouses

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3, 2020 — Databricks, the data and AI company, recently announced the launch of SQL Analytics, which for the first time enables data analysts to perform workloads previously meant only for a data warehouse on a data lake. This expands the traditional scope of the data lake from data science and machine learning to include all data workloads including business intelligence (BI) and SQL. Now, organizations can empower data teams across data engineering, data science, and data analytics to work on a single source of truth for data. SQL Analytics realizes Databricks’ vision for a lakehouse architecture that combines data warehousing performance with data lake economics, resulting in up to 9x better price/performance than traditional cloud data warehouses. SQL Analytics is now available in public preview.  For more information, join the December 10th webinar: Lakehouse Architecture: From Vision to Reality. Register for free, here.

A lakehouse architecture simplifies data and AI for organizations. In the past, data teams had to maintain proprietary data warehouses for BI workloads and data lakes for data science and machine learning workloads, because no single data platform could meet the performance needs of BI and the flexibility needs of data science. Expensive and complicated to maintain, this coexistence of legacy architectures has created data silos that slow innovation and stifle data team productivity. A lakehouse addresses this by running all workloads through a single architecture.

Shell chose Databricks to be one of the foundational components of its Shell.ai platform. "Shell has been undergoing a digital transformation as part of our ambition to deliver more and cleaner energy solutions. As part of this, we have been investing heavily in our data lake architecture. Our ambition has been to enable our data teams to rapidly query our massive datasets in the simplest possible way. The ability to execute rapid queries on petabyte scale datasets using standard BI tools is a game changer for us. Our co-innovation approach with Databricks has allowed us to influence the product roadmap and we are excited to see this come to market." Dan Jeavons, GM Data Science

"It is no longer a matter of if organizations will move their data to the cloud, but when. A lakehouse architecture built on a data lake is the ideal data architecture for data-driven organizations and this launch gives our customers a far superior option when it comes to their data strategy," said Ali Ghodsi, CEO and co-founder of Databricks. "We’ve worked with thousands of customers to understand where they want to take their data strategy, and the answer is overwhelmingly in favor of data lakes. The fact is that they have massive amounts of data in their data lakes and with SQL Analytics, they now can actually query that data by connecting directly to their BI tools like Tableau."

SQL Analytics is built on Delta Lake, an open format data engine that adds reliability, quality, and security, to a customer’s existing data lake. Customers are able to avoid storing multiple copies of data, as well as locking data up in proprietary formats. To deliver BI-performance on a data lake, SQL Analytics makes use of two unique innovations. First, it provides easy-to-use auto-scaling endpoints that keep query latency consistently low under high user load. Second, it uses Delta Engine, Databricks’ unique polymorphic query execution engine, to complete queries quickly against both large and small data sets. With native connectors for all major BI tools, including Tableau and Microsoft Power BI, customers can easily integrate SQL Analytics into their existing BI workflows to conduct analytics on much fresher, more complete data than ever before. SQL Analytics also provides a SQL-native query and visualization interface to allow analysts, data scientists, and developers without access to traditional BI tools to build dashboards and reports that can be easily shared within their organization.

"Now more than ever, organizations need a data strategy that enables speed and agility to be adaptable," said Francois Ajenstat, Chief Product Officer at Tableau. "As organizations are rapidly moving their data to the cloud, we’re seeing growing interest in doing analytics on the data lake. The introduction of SQL Analytics delivers an entirely new experience for customers to tap into insights from massive volumes of data with the performance, reliability and scale they need. We’re proud to partner with Databricks to bring that opportunity to life."

The lakehouse architecture is widely supported by Databricks partners including:

  • BI Partners: Tableau, Power BI, Qlik, Looker, Thoughtspot
  • Ingest Partners: Fivetran, Fishtown Analytics, Matillion, Talend
  • Catalog Partners: Collibra, Alation
  • Consulting Partners: Slalom, Thorogood, Advancing Analytics

"Databricks SQL Analytics is a critical step in the most important trend in the modern data stack: the unification of traditional SQL analytics with machine-learning and data science," said George Fraser, CEO at Fivetran. "Companies make huge investments in centralizing and curating data, and they should be able to make those investments once and then implement multiple analytical paradigms in a unified environment. The Lakehouse architecture supports that."

This announcement comes on the heels of impressive momentum Databricks has achieved over the past year. The company achieved a $350M+ revenue run rate as of Q3 2020, up from $200M in Q3 2019, and is now among the fastest-growing enterprise software cloud companies on record. It has achieved global growth, doubling its headcount in the UK, Netherlands, Germany, and Sweden, and growing 5x in Australia and India over the last year. Databricks has 1,500 employees worldwide, and thousands of data teams leverage its Unified Data Analytics Platform across all industries and verticals.

QUOTE SHEET

Atlassian: "At Atlassian, we need to ensure teams can collaborate well across functions to achieve constantly evolving goals," said Rohan Dhupelia, Data Platform Senior Manager, Atlassian. "A simplified lakehouse architecture would empower us to ingest high volumes of user data and run the analytics necessary to better predict customer needs and improve the experience of our customers.  A single, easy-to-use cloud analytics platform allows us to rapidly improve and build new collaboration tools based on actionable insights."

Shell: "Shell has been undergoing a digital transformation as part of our ambition to deliver more and cleaner energy solutions. As part of this, we have been investing heavily in our data lake architecture. Our ambition has been to enable our data teams to rapidly query our massive datasets in the simplest possible way. The ability to execute rapid queries on petabyte scale datasets using standard BI tools is a game changer for us. Our co-innovation approach with Databricks has allowed us to influence the product roadmap and we are excited to see this come to market." Dan Jeavons, GM Data Science

Wejo: "At Wejo, we’re collecting data from more than 50 million accessible connected cars to build a better driving experience. Databricks and a robust lakehouse architecture will allow us to provide automated analytics to our customers, empowering them to glean insights on nearly 5 trillion data points per month, all in a streaming environment from car to marketplace in seconds." (Daniel Tibble, Head of Data)

Yipitdata: "As a company focused on providing data-driven research to our customers, the massive amount of data in our data lake is our lifeblood.  By leveraging Databricks and Delta Lake, we have already been able to democratize data at scale, while lowering the cost of running production workloads by 60%, saving us millions of dollars.  We’re excited to build on this momentum by leveraging the Databricks lakehouse architecture that will further empower everyone across our organization – from research analysts to data scientists – to interchangeably use the same data, helping us to provide innovative insights to our customers faster than ever before."

Kalkine Pty Limited To Launch its ‘Australian Equity Technical Analysis Report’

Leave a comment

SYDNEY, Nov. 30, 2020 — Kalkine Pty Limited is pleased to announce the launch of a new technical analysis-driven research product ‘Technical Analysis Report’. This report aims to evaluate equity opportunities in consideration of sufficient risk-appetite and financial flexibility, and returns expected over a short timespan.

What Should be an Appropriate Stock Picking Strategy? Should One Buy Now or Wait for Better Results or Lower Valuations? These are some of the vital questions looming in the mind of prudent investors!

Stock markets often depend on the sentiments of market participants and the two prominent emotions include greed and fear. Evolving fundamentals and macroeconomic factors like GDP, socio-political stability, inflation, interest rates, etc. also influence stock prices. Technical analysis is one of the two main schools of market-analysis used to assess the price direction based on an identifiable price-pattern.

Over the past one-year, ASX All Ordinaries yielded a 0.77% return (till November 25, 2020, from Refinitiv); therefore, a technical analysis report developed after deep-research and backtesting by qualified experts might be helpful to benefit from price trends gauged.

Considering above, Kalkine’s Technical Analysis Report Offers:

  1. Extensive Technical Research: This report is based on a thorough technical analysis using price action, support, resistance, candlestick patterns, relative strength index, moving averages, etc.
  2. Swing Trading Opportunity:  By virtue of seizing short to medium-term gains, swing trading can provide an edge over fundamental analysis.
  3. Insights on Leading Sectors: ASX-listed stocks from leading sectors including FinTech, Telecom, Healthcare, Renewable Energy, E-Commerce, etc. are covered to gain from trending themes.
  4. High-Volume Stocks Coverage: Kalkine’s report covers stocks with above-average volumes showcasing the decent returns potential as they are generally more liquid and help easy execution of trades.
  5. Insights on Risk-Reward Scenario: Investors can weigh the prospective reward for the risks undertaken in light of an entry-level, target prices, and pre-defined stop-loss.

In summary, Kalkine’s Technical Analysis report (which is easy to comprehend with actionable insights) aims to cover stocks after an overall assessment of the global indices, taking cues from the major global news.

Note: Trading decisions require a thorough analysis by investors while evaluating stocks. Kalkine’s publications are NOT a solicitation/recommendation to buy, sell or hold stock(s) of company/companies or engage in any investment activity under discussion.

Dattel to Uplift 10,000 Businesses in Malaysia with RM 50 Million Data Fund

Leave a comment

PETALING JAYA, Malaysia, Nov. 25, 2020 — Dattel Asia Group, a leading consumer data & analytics company in ASEAN, has recently launched UPLIFT Malaysia – an initiative to empower 10,000 businesses with actionable insights on the latest consumer behaviour through a RM 50 million data fund. This initiative aims to help individuals who have lost job or businesses that are being impacted by the recent economic downturn to recuperate sustainably.

We aspire to uplift 10,000 companies and nurture business communities that are more #celikdata in the country. For you to have a competitive edge in business, you need a reliable source of data that continuously gives you new perspectives of the market. Ashran Dato’ Ghazi Chief Executive Officer, Dattel Asia
We aspire to uplift 10,000 companies and nurture business communities that are more #celikdata in the country. For you to have a competitive edge in business, you need a reliable source of data that continuously gives you new perspectives of the market. Ashran Dato’ Ghazi Chief Executive Officer, Dattel Asia

One of the inspirations for UPLIFT was when the CEO of Dattel Asia, Ashran Dato’ Ghazi, met many entrepreneurs struggling with the abrupt shift in consumers’ behaviour due to COVID-19 outbreak. The behavioural shifts caused many consumer-facing businesses uncertain about how, or even if, they should respond to the changes. With so many changes happening at an unprecedented rate, companies do not have the necessary insights that are up-to-date and comprehensive for them to pivot their business or marketing strategy.

To address this, Dattel Asia has partnered with several powerhouses in the industry to launch UPLIFT Malaysia. The primary goal of this initiative is to ensure that businesses in Malaysia have the necessary access to accurate data which are usually made available only to large companies. 

Among the industry players that have joined forces with Dattel Asia for UPLIFT Malaysia are BAC Education Group, Transcosmos Malaysia and ZBRA Business Research & Analytics. Also, UPLIFT has gained the support of Institut Keusahawanan Negara (INSKEN), Owners Circle and Kementerian Pembangunan Usahawan dan Koperasi (MEDAC). Dattel Asia hopes more industry players will come forward and contribute to the initiative.

Applications for UPLIFT data fund are open to any individuals or companies, especially those interested in consumer-facing business such as retail, fashion, F&B, fitness, beauty, health or snacks. Upon review, successful applicants will receive access to consumer data & training package worth RM 5,000 and weekly updates on consumers’ COVID-19 sentiment and behaviours.

The access to the consumer data & training package is only limited to the first 10,000 eligible applicants. Those who are interested can visit the UPLIFT Malaysia webpage at upliftmy.dattel.asia for more details and apply for the data fund now.

Global Telco Cloud Revenue Will Grow to US$29.3 Billion by 2025

Leave a comment

ABI Research’s latest whitepaper highlights 36 transformative technology stats you need to know for 2021

OYSTER BAY, N.Y., Nov. 25, 2020 — Global telco cloud revenue will grow to US$29.3 billion by 2025, up from US$8.7 billion in 2020, at a 5-year Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 27%. The telco cloud growth will be driven primarily by cloud infrastructure-related investments, such as Virtual Network Functions (VNFs), Management and Network Orchestration (MANO), and Cloud Native Functions (CNFs). By 2025, the telco cloud market will be worth US$10 billion in North America, US$9 billion in Asia-Pacific (APAC), and US$8.2 billion in Europe, forecasts global tech market advisory firm, ABI Research in its new whitepaper, The 36 Transformative Technology Stats You Need to Know for 2021.

This introduction of cloudified environments in the telco business landscape also presents some shifts in the value chain. For example, telcos are now being presented a second option of telco cloud deployment—the multi-vendor approach, in which different network equipment vendors are responsible for different components of the telco. "While this approach seems to provide some benefits, such as avoiding single-vendor lock in, it also requires substantial coordination of effort, not only through robust MANO, but also between stakeholders during certain key phases of the telco cloud deployment, such as the design and planning phase," explains Kangrui Ling, 5G Core and Edge Networks Research Analyst at ABI Research.

Another 5G Core and Edge Networks trend highlighted in the whitepaper: 5G network slicing stands to create approximately US$8.9 billion by 2026 at a CAGR of 76%. "Arguably that is a drop in the bucket for Communication Service Provider (CSP) service revenue. CSPs continue to possess strong network assets, namely low-latency, last-mile access and core network capabilities," Don Alusha, Senior Analyst at ABI Research points out. But for the broader industry, capturing significant new growth opportunity will vary in line with their corresponding digitization initiatives and readiness to adopt new technologies like 5G core networks and cloud-native principles. Conversely, hyperscalers like Microsoft and Amazon are cognizant of these dynamics and are positioning themselves accordingly with telco-specific solutions like Amazon Web Services (AWS) Wavelength and Microsoft Azure Edge Zones, particularly on edge computing deployments. "Though moderate in the next 5 years, new value creation abounds, but the jury is still out who captures what parts of the bigger emerging 5G edge and network slicing ecosystem," Alusha says.

About the whitepaper, Stuart Carlaw, ABI Research’s Chief Research Officer says, "We have selected, from among the many millions of data points ABI Research creates each year, to focus on some enlightening data points that matter in the year ahead. Aspects like Tiny Machine Learning (TinyML), private cellular networks, Open Radio Access Network (RAN), blockchain, smart manufacturing platforms, and even connected cows point to how technology advancements are allowing our physical world to be better connected, managed, and efficient. The forecasts presented in this paper may be easy to dismiss but are very important directional indicators of the technology-enabled world of the future."

XL Axiata Selects Solace to Deliver Enhanced Data Offerings for its Customers

Leave a comment

SINGAPORE and JAKARTA, Indonesia, Nov. 12, 2020 — Indonesia’s leading telecommunications services operator, XL Axiata, has chosen Solace to facilitate real-time data flow for its data management mobile application, MyXL.

To cater to the needs of Indonesia’s growing number of mobile Internet users, XL Axiata seeks to drive greater customer engagement and create new revenue streams through data-based services on the MyXL application. The adoption of Solace’s event broker technology underpins critical real-time data flow between XL Axiata’s mobile application and microservices. This allows XL Axiata to build a more powerful, responsive, and feature-rich customer application that can reliably deliver new experiences for their customers by working with partners such as restaurants, hotels, and more.

Before implementing Solace’s event broker technology, the MyXL application ran on a service-oriented architecture. However, with Indonesians’ increasing appetite for online video and social media content in recent years, coupled with the relatively low price of data per gigabyte, XL Axiata needed to re-evaluate its IT infrastructure to handle the unprecedented volume of data consumption. Adopting an event-driven architecture has enabled XL Axiata to ingest all transaction data around its data offerings and distribute it to relevant systems through a centralized platform. With a cloud-friendly system that integrates multiple systems and clouds, XL Axiata can now more easily connect to its partners and modernize its analytics infrastructure to become more real-time to drive targeted and personalized customer experiences.

"Indonesia has one of the world’s highest numbers of Internet users and meeting their demands is no easy feat. We constantly strive to be one step ahead by providing the best possible services and experiences for our customers. Working with Solace has helped to future-proof our MyXL application to easily onboard new systems and partners. It also helps us to roll out new services like 5G, which will enable next-generation applications for our customers," said Yessie D Yosetya, Director & Chief Information-Digital Officer, XL Axiata.

"Our vision is to empower our customers to continuously improve their service offerings by leveraging real-time data," said Kent Nash, General Manager, Middle East, Asia Pacific & Japan, Solace. "We are thrilled to be supporting one of Indonesia’s leading telecommunications providers in its digital transformation journey to bring about better data services for Indonesian consumers. This partnership with XL Axiata marks an exciting new milestone for Solace in the region as we seek to support more businesses in achieving real-time responsiveness."
