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

Leave a comment

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

Leave a comment

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.

FinTech Alliance SaaS Solution Marks Change in Korean Finance Market
FinTech Alliance SaaS Solution Marks Change in Korean Finance Market

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 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.

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.

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

Leave a comment

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.

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.

During the event moderated by Strategic Cooperation Office at the School of Economics Peking University deputy director and Peking University China Brand Value Evaluation Research Platform secretary general Liu Xueming, several industry professionals shared their insights into the new measures in their opening speeches, including School of Economics Peking University vice dean Zhang Yaguang, Strategic Cooperation Office at the School of Economics Peking University director and School Of Economics Peking University (Southwest Campus) executive vice dean Yan Yu, Beijing Shenzhou Boya Medical Research Center director and NewMargin Capital senior partner Li Xiaoqiang, M.D., China Chengxin Credit Management Co., Ltd. vice president and China Business Integrity Research Institute president Zhang Yingjie, and huanqiu.com editor-in-chief Zhu Yan. 

Zhang Yaguang expressed the opinion that Wenjiang District is well positioned to set a new benchmark in China with an exemplary business environment. He said, “The overall approach to the effort focuses on further defining the relationship between the local government and the market, alongside designing a science-based, effective and efficient mechanism within the inclusivity framework.”

Zhang Yingjie added, “The district should move forward with ongoing innovation in policies and measures, improvement in the government service environment, reduction in the costs of doing business for companies located in the district, enhancement in the sharing of credit information and evaluation of the digitalized business environment with the goal of creating an international business-friendly environment.”    

Zhu Yan shared her experience when visiting Wenjiang. She said, “WuXi AppTec, among other leading Chinese companies taking the lead in establishing facilities in Wenjiang, recognizes the district’s unique advantages when it comes to building a quality-based health industry ecosystem that brings together the three branches of healthcare — the study of medicine, the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and the application of medical therapies, as well as the two branches that focus on longevity – health maintenance and elder care. Five years ago, the district made a forward-looking decision to invest in the innovative integration of the various branches, opening up unlimited possibilities for the future of the health industry overall.”

Yan Yu shared his insights into the Wenjiang District Business Environment White Paper, “In 2019, the district focused on responding to the needs of market players and consumers by testing 20 of the proposed measures, all of which were specifically designed to accelerate the transformation of the healthcare sector, providing the country and beyond with an effective solution for building a business-friendly environment.”

Li Xiaoqiang said, “The healthcare-first health industry ecosystem enhanced by a science-based approach is an essential component of an industry-specific business environment.”

During the online event, the Office of Wenjiang District Business Environment Steering Group executive deputy director and Wenjiang District Administrative Examination and Approval Department director Silang Wangxiu reviewed the 28 new measures, “The Office has optimized the 2.0 version of the Goals and Programs for Building a Business-friendly Environment in Wenjiang by benchmarking against Beijing and Shanghai, among other top-tier cities across China in terms of the endeavor. In addition, the district will pay special attention to improving some underperforming sectors by leveraging extensive partnerships in terms of developing actionable policies and measures backed by ongoing innovation.”

Huobi Rebrands its Derivatives Exchange as Crypto Derivatives Surge in Popularity

Leave a comment

SINGAPORE, May 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Huobi DM, the digital asset derivatives exchange of Huobi Group, was rebranded to Huobi Futures has amid a surge in demand for crypto derivative products, announced by Ciara Sun, the spokesperson and the Head of Huobi Global Business. The new name underscores the evolution of the crypto derivatives market from a nascent industry to one burgeoning with new interest from both institutional and retail investors. 

Driven in part by recent speculation around Bitcoin’s third halving, the current macroeconomic environment, and as more sophisticated investors enter a maturing market, Huobi Futures become one of the most lucrative business units of Huobi Group. According to the data released by TokenInsight, last quarter, total derivatives market trading volume on Huobi Futures reached $438 billion, accounting for 22% of the total market trading volume. While institutional traders were major contributors to the recent growth, there was also a substantial uptick in activity from retail traders. 

Huobi Futures has also gained significant traction for a relatively new derivative product, coin-margined perpetual contracts, which it only launched in late March—years behind the biggest competitor in the space. Despite the late entry into coin-margined swaps, Huobi Futures has already topped the market in cumulative trading volume. On May 12, the total 24h coin-margin perpetual trading volume on Huobi Futures exceeded $5.46 billion, outperforming its closest competitor. 

“The last few quarters have been particularly exciting for the crypto derivatives market, but I’m more excited that the increased activity we’re seeing today may be a catalyst for widespread crypto adoption,” said Ciara. “Rising demand for crypto derivatives from both institutional and retail user bases signifies growing acceptance of digital assets and a maturing market, so we’re positioning Huobi Futures to bridge the gap towards traditional financial markets.”

With the rebrand, Huobi aims to make its derivatives exchange more approachable for new traders entering the crypto derivatives market. By appealing to a wider audience, Huobi Futures plans to continue on its current growth trajectory as it develops innovative new derivative products and broadens its user base. 

The rebrand was first unveiled during a Consensus: Distributed session titled ‘Crypto Evolution In a BTC Halving Year,’ which was hosted by Huobi and joined by guest panelists from institutional blockchain firms like Pantera, Dragonfly, and Multicoin. Speaking during the session, Sun stated, “While a name change is nothing too monumental, for us it represents an acknowledgement of the changing times we have seen in the cryptocurrency trading space.” 

About Huobi Group

Consisting of numerous upstream and downstream enterprises, Huobi Group is a leading global blockchain company. Established by Leon Li in 2013, the company’s Huobi Global exchange accumulative turnover exceeds US $3 trillion. Huobi proudly provides safe, secure, and convenient cryptocurrency trading and asset management services to millions of users in 170+ countries.

SHENZHEN, China, May 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — HUAWEI CLOUD launched the new HUAWEI CLOUD Stack product as one of its efforts to boost their presence in the government and enterprise market. HUAWEI CLOUD Stack provides cloud services in local data centers of governments and enterprises.

As governments and enterprises go through the process of intelligent upgrade, HUAWEI CLOUD has been investing heavily in the government and enterprise market, striving to become the first choice for government and enterprise organizations undertaking this difficult challenge.

Mr. Zheng Yelai, Vice President of Huawei and President of the HUAWEI CLOUD, said, “In this age of new infrastructure, computing power has become a new source of productivity, data are the new raw materials; cloud, AI, and 5G are the new tools of production, and a new digital infrastructure is injecting momentum into the digital transformation. Cloud services are the only way forward for smart upgrade of government and enterprise organizations. Leveraging a wealth of experience in the industry, along with their experience with digital transformation, HUAWEI CLOUD has released the HUAWEI CLOUD Stack, aiming to accelerate digitalization and intelligent upgrade of government and enterprise organizations alike.”

Currently, there are four major challenges facing organizations wishing to move forward with intelligent upgrade. First, traditional IT services are insufficient and evolve too slowly. Organizations need to quickly acquire cloud service capabilities and innovate faster. Second, organizations need widespread access to applications available in an open ecosystem. Third, how can data be deployed locally for enhanced security in order to better meet management and compliance requirements? And finally, how can they gain rapid access to professional O&M?

HUAWEI CLOUD, HUAWEI CLOUD Stack (HCS), and HUAWEI CLOUD Edge Computing use the single Optimus hardware-software synergy architecture and can cover all cloud-edge-device scenarios. HUAWEI CLOUD Stack has been fully upgraded to meet key requirements of government and enterprise customers for intelligent upgrade.

Instant access to cloud services and marketplace applications

Lv Yangming, President of the HUAWEI CLOUD Hybrid Cloud, explained that, based on the unified Optimus hardware-software synergy architecture, HUAWEI CLOUD Stack and HUAWEI CLOUD provide the same APIs that make it possible to let government and enterprise customers use cloud services in their local data centers. More than 70 cloud services from HUAWEI CLOUD, such as AI, big data, IoT, and blockchain services, can be used in just a few clicks if required. To meet the operational needs of customers, HUAWEI CLOUD has launched a remote hosting program, a remote service support program, and a local service support program. These programs allow customers to stay focused on innovation. After obtaining authorization from the customer, Huawei provides support wherever it’s needed. All operations are visible, monitorable, manageable, and controllable.

HUAWEI CLOUD Marketplace provides a new hybrid cloud zone where customers can obtain a large number of high-quality industry applications with a click of the mouse. Partners from various industries are also welcome to join up and build this hybrid cloud zone into a rich, prosperous cloud ecosystem.

A single cloud where data and applications are centrally managed

HCS provides three main capabilities: unified management, data governance, and application enablement.

Thanks to federated cloud technology, customers can have refined management of cross-cloud resource pools and obtain the industry’s unique multi-level O&M capabilities. Through refined rights- and domain-based management, they can control resource access by region, department, and application.

Based on Huawei’s successful practices in data governance, HUAWEI CLOUD Stack allows enterprises to build enterprise data platforms and maximize the value of every byte of data. Customers can use FusionInsight to create intelligent data lakes and use DAYU and ModelArts for one-stop data governance. HUAWEI CLOUD ROMA allows enterprises to integrate multiple types of applications and data for full-lifecycle digital asset governance. It is fully open to partners and developers who wish to run applications on a single, unified network.

Ready to use out of the box

HUAWEI CLOUD Stack is delivered in integrated cabinets where hardware, cables, and cloud service software come preinstalled. After the equipment arrives, customers need less than 24 hours to commission and roll out services.

Encrypted data for higher security

HUAWEI CLOUD provides intelligent encryption cards for on-demand encryption for scenarios such as big data, data warehouses, and block storage. In addition, HUAWEI CLOUD connects with third-party key systems to implement independent key management and control. Your data is under your control.

In order to accelerate digital transformation and intelligent upgrade of government and enterprise organizations, Xiao Yi, HUAWEI CLOUD and Computing CTO for China Region, officially launched the HUAWEI CLOUD Marketplace Hybrid Cloud Partner Program, inviting partners to release applications in the hybrid cloud zone. HUAWEI CLOUD will also provide consulting services and solutions, including top-level design support for digital transformation, enterprise cloudification consulting, data governance consulting, and AI solutions.

In Gartner’s report “Market Share: IT Services, Worldwide 2019”, HUAWEI CLOUD was ranked the third in the IaaS market in China and the sixth internationally, with a growth rate of 222.2%, the fastest in the world.

In the future, HUAWEI CLOUD will continue to leverage the synergistic advantages of combining cloud, AI, and 5G and the full-stack technology innovation to provide stable, secure, and sustainable cloud services, attempting to empower applications, explore the value of data, and cultivate fertile soil for an intelligent world. HUAWEI CLOUD will also work with partners to spare no effort to accelerate digital transformation and intelligent upgrade in every industry.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, May 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Apigate, a Global Digital Content Monetization & Messaging ecosystem, today announced the launch of Armour, a new data-based e-solution to tackle the “big five” issues of Direct Carrier Billing: in-app malware, bots, iFraming, suspicious traffic, and backdoor charging.

Analyst reports stated that 90% of South and Southeast Asia’s population access the internet through mobile phones, which means the region is by far home to the world’s most engaged mobile users. Additionally, the region is expected to grow to US$300 billion by 2025, or threefold from US$100 billion in 2019, bringing a higher risk of online fraud as the ”mobile economy” continues to expand.

This is where Armour steps in, once Armour’s fraud detection is deployed, each transaction is checked against hundreds of data points to validate its trustworthiness. This allows for suspicious activities in the digital payment process to be detected and prevented in real-time through a highly tuned Machine Learning algorithm. Furthermore, Armour can continually and automatically refine its ability to detect an ever-increasing range of threats to the digital payment system.

The added benefit of a reduction in digital payment fraud is an increase in customer satisfaction. Since its roll-out with major partners in South and Southeast Asia, results show a significant decrease in customer complaints while at the same time showing a month on month increase in clean transaction rate, bringing a higher & more sustainable conversion rate for Digital merchants.

Raja Mansukhani, Senior Vice President of APAC, said “Armour as a product is a natural progression to cater to the demands of an ever-growing Digital economy which has led to more significant exposure to fraud. Our objective of developing Armour was to limit this threat while removing a frictionful experience for the end customer, leading to a reduction in complaints for Telcos.”
