Introducing Apiflex, Apigate’s Partner Bundling Platform for Customer Acquisition and Retention

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, May 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Apigate, a trusted provider to Telco Operators and Digital Merchants for reach, acquisition and monetisation, today announced the launch of its new dynamic content bundling platform "Apiflex".

Apiflex enables Digital Merchants and Telco Operators to co-create rich content and service offerings that, together, are more appealing and offer better value to end users and at the same time, tackle the rising cost of digital marketing and sales leaving them to focus on growing and retaining their respective customer base.

Recent analyst reports have shown that Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) has rocketed nearly 50% over the past five years for both B2B and B2C companies. Notwithstanding other pressures already placed on businesses today, balancing the ever-rising CAC with the monetization of customers has become a key factor for business survival for Digital Merchants. This together with the Telco clients who operate in saturated markets need differentiation to Acquire & Retain their customers. This is where bundling plays a crucial role and Apiflex helps businesses take advantage of this.

Simply put, Apiflex effectively combines two separate offerings into a single offer, providing an attractive bundle to the end consumer. The Bundling Models through the platform offer new and attractive ways for co-marketing, which ultimately lowers the cost of reaching, acquiring and maintaining customers.

Raja Mansukhani, Apigate’s Senior Vice President of APAC, said, "At Apigate, our endeavor has always been to innovate and create products with a Problem to Resolve mindset. Apiflex is one more such offering which helps to create the perfect combination of reduced Cost of Acquisition with higher conversion rates for Digital Merchants and at the same time creates differentiation for our Telco clients to cater for the ever-increasing digital content demand by their end customers. We are excited with the introduction of this new product and hope this delivers significant value to our partners and clients and to their end consumers."

FinTech Alliance SaaS Solution Marks Change in Korean Finance Market

12CM partners with Korea’s biggest search engine provider, Naver, to launch cloud-based FinTech solution, expects change in the domestic FinTech market landscape

SEOUL, South Korea, May 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — 12CM (One-two-cee-em), the smart stamp software platform provider and a member company of the Born2Global Centre, has recently inked a collaboration deal with Naver Business Platform (NBP). 12CM has been an active member of the Born2Global Centre since 2018.

NBP is a fully independent subsidiary company of Naver Corporation specializing in cloud IT infrastructure and services (Naver being Korea’s largest search engine as well as operating LINE, the #1 chat service in Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand). The deal will see the Echoss Stamp developer’s Open API and Finance Microservice implemented in a FinTech SaaS solution aimed at financial institutions.

Traditionally, such financial services have required strict security measures making cloud-based service development difficult. The fact that cloud technology makes use of a wide variety of frameworks and open source code means that financial institutions have found adoption of these technologies less than ideal.

That being said, NBP is the first cloud operator in the S. Korean domestic market to receive top marks from the Financial Security Institute for infrastructure security. 12CM itself will be providing its service security level protocols, developed and tested over years of R&D and real-world applications, to this collaborative partnership.

Large financial institutions already offer a variety of remote services, such as mobile apps and over-the-phone consultation. However, moving these to the cloud will allow not only faster implementation of entirely new service channels (such as mobile web apps) but also alliance service channels enabling cooperation. The collaboration between 12CM and NBP is slotted to provide a home in the cloud to accommodate these innovative new services.

"Financial institution’s recent trend of ‘non face-to-face’ service is in a state of constant innovation and like financial institution’s websites, the demand for convenient financial service via diverse cooperation channels is always increasing. NBP and 12CM are planning to provide a secure SaaS solution that emphasizes security and flexibility in financial services to the market as soon as possible,” said Sang Young Han, director of NBP.

Jeong Gyoun Han, 12CM of CEO said, "For our initial loan service model, the whole process including security, identification, Open API integration, as well as certificate submission will be structured as a complete self-service. The SDK itself will also be provided in order for users to customize their own mobile web pages. For a smooth and successful launch, in addition to our alliance with NBP, we have also tapped UniFinTech Corp., a consulting company specialized in mobile commerce and IT."

It is a fact that there is a global trend of more and more software companies moving onto the cloud, and while doing so adopting more SaaS or other "as a service" business models. This Fintech service alliance in the Korean domestic market marks the next step of mobile evolution in the finance IT industry, and we look forward to what it may mean for the future of Fintech.

"Further, DigiCert has successfully integrated the technology strengths of the former Symantec TLS and PKI business to provide an unequaled product portfolio and scalability for partners and customers. DigiCert’s certificates and management tools support a wide range of enterprise needs and use cases, ranging from standard TLS to compliance-specific use cases such as Google AMP and EU-trusted qualified certificates for natural persons, legal entities or web authentication (QWACs).

DigiCert has upgraded its infrastructure in a way not seen in its industry to support large installations, regionally-focused deployments and high-volume, rapid certificate enrollments for the world’s largest web platform companies. The company’s agile product development process allows it to roll out changes and product updates more quickly than competitors. This strategy has helped the company create the industry’s first PQC toolkit, which enables companies to create hybrid certificates for testing in their systems. DigiCert actively engages with industry standards and regulatory bodies to drive the creation and support of new standards and ensure a safe internet and IoT for consumers, including the CA/Browser Forum, IETF, W3C, ASCX9, PCI Council, SAE, CableLabs, CI+, AeroMACS, WinnForum, Industrial Internet Consortium, APWG and NIST NCCoE.

"With its multi-pronged approach to innovation, DigiCert has developed a hyper-converged, agile infrastructure that promises reliability, scalability, resiliency and shorter response time for its customers," noted Swetha.

UNL, Akoin and Venturerock Team Up to Launch Human Unlimited #tech4good Foundation

SINGAPORE, May 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Global tech companies UNL, Akoin and Venturerock have teamed up to launch Human Unlimited foundation to use #tech4good and fuel the fight against COVID-19, future pandemics and disasters.

UNL, Akoin and Venturerock Team Up to Launch Human Unlimited #tech4good Foundation
UNL, Akoin and Venturerock Team Up to Launch Human Unlimited #tech4good Foundation

The foundation supports and accelerates initiatives and ventures that leverage technology as a catalyst to transform and elevate human reality within developing regions, starting with Africa, India and Southeast Asia. "Our focus is set on accelerating long-term tech solutions for battling the first, second and third waves of the virus, to bring back balance post COVID-19 and being ready for a fast, universal response when future disasters strike," says Xander van der Heijden, CEO of UNL.

The human and economic costs of COVID-19 are projected to be most devastating for developing countries which lack the infrastructure to contain the spread and provide health security. In the short term, Human Unlimited is launching the Human Care app and the Human Frequency music relief campaign to empower people in developing countries to protect themselves and their communities.

"People suffering from COVID-19 and other pandemics need an ongoing end-to-end system to aggressively fight these human battles," said Akon. "We created HUMAN CARE to map those in need of support during these trying times. Our HUMAN FREQUENCY music and awareness platform was built to raise the necessary funds to bring real relief to those directly in need," – Akon

An estimated 4 billion people globally are unaddressed, making vital services like emergency help inaccessible and patients hard to reach. Powered by UNL’s smart addressing infrastructure, Human Care gives universal addresses to people anywhere to enable access to essential services like emergency and health responses, and navigation to bring people in need to important hubs, such as hospitals and relief centers, faster. The application promotes social responsibility practices through tools for self-identifying and self-monitoring symptoms, and encourages collaboration between people and local governments, contributing to safer public environments.

In future releases, Human Care will be introducing an incentive mechanism to stimulate positive behavior and self-monitoring. Powered by Akon’s Akoin, the application will be rewarding users for contributing their data and insights about new and developing cases, starting with Africa. 

Through Human Care, individuals who have been affected by COVID-19 can self-identify in need, request relief in the form of food, medical supplies and other essentials and get it delivered even to the most remote locations in Africa, India and SEA.

Alongside the application, Human Unlimited is launching the Human Frequency campaign, a rolling series of at-home musical events to unite, invite and heal with the lyrics, beats and melodies of some of the world’s most-recognized musicians and new international artists, led by Akon. Funds raised during the Human Frequency series will go to COVID-19 relief for the ones identified in need via the Human Care app and to support the acceleration of new #tech4good solutions.

Human Unlimited is not doing this alone. The #tech4good foundation has already partnered with global companies, organizations and charities, including HERE Technologies, UN Blockchain Commission, PVBLIC Foundation, WeGiveToCare – Red Cross, Akoin Foundation and the People’s Prize.

About Human Unlimited

Human Unlimited is a #tech4good foundation supporting and accelerating initiatives and ventures that use technology as a catalyst to transform and elevate human reality within developing countries.
