New Agora customers built features like audio and video live streaming into applications even as COVID-19-related social distancing requirements eased. Real-time engagement technology rapidly reached widespread adoption as companies shifted critical business functions to the virtual world. Sources like Gartner report 74% of CFOs plan to shift some employees to remote work permanently post-pandemic, making virtual experiences an integral common part of modern daily life.

"At Agora, it’s our goal to make real-time engagement ubiquitous so people can connect from anywhere, at any time in ways that capture meaningful human interactions," said Reggie Yativ, Chief Operations Officer and Chief Revenue Officer at Agora Lab, Inc. "We continue to see interest in RTE and real growth on a global scale from customers across sectors like education and gaming. This reflects a larger cultural shift towards richer virtual interactions in our personal and professional lives, both to create better online experiences, but also to innovate in the new business landscape."

In Q2, Agora inked new partnerships with industry leaders in IT, social gaming, online dating, and more. Partners turned to Agora to create unique use cases like:

  • Online Learning:

Azeus Takes Lead in Redefining The Future of e-AGMS by Enabling The Borderless Intertwine Between Physical and Virtual AGMs

  • Azeus’ latest e-AGM solution drives strong advocacy for all shareholders to exercise their rights amid the COVID-19 pandemic
  • Robust take-up in latest offering demonstrates urgent demand by companies to effectively meet shareholders’ needs in a ‘new normal’ environment
  • In the month of June, some 60 customers conducted their AGMs using Azeus’ e-AGM solution
  • e-AGM solution is now being marketed and expanding internationally

HONG KONG, Aug. 12, 2020 — Azeus Systems Holdings Ltd. ("Azeus" or the "Group") a leading provider of IT consultancy services based in Hong Kong, has taken a leadership role in redefining the future of electronic annual general meetings ("e- AGM") by enabling the borderless intertwine between physical and virtual AGMs. Riding on the back of this vision, Azeus recently launched its e-AGM solution which was largely conceptualised around the urgent need to drive a strong advocacy for all shareholders to exercise their rights, even with the restrictions and constraints brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Group’s latest service offering has elicited very encouraging response from listed companies, enterprises, business associations and non-profit organisations. This underpins an inherently strong demand for a solution that continues to meaningfully and safely engage stakeholders despite the constraints of the pandemic.

In the month of June alone, Azeus ran virtual AGMs for some 60 customers comprising listed companies, enterprises, business associations and non-profit organisations. Riding on the strong reception for its end-to-end e-AGM solution in Singapore, Azeus has started to market internationally, adding customers from the Philippines and Hong Kong.

Authorities across the world have imposed a wide range of containment measures, primarily involving social distancing measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Amid the ongoing situation, where companies face challenges in organising AGMs, the authorities have also made changes to allow AGMs to be conducted through virtual means.

Mr. Lee Wan Lik, Managing Director of Azeus, said, "Virtual AGMs are relatively new and have come to the fore because of the virus fallout. Azeus’ range of products have been designed to enable businesses and organisations to conduct remote meetings in line with industry best practices. We will continue to refine our latest e- AGM solution to break the barriers between physical and virtual AGMs. Our overarching objective for e-AGMs is to provide the same opportunities which a physical AGM offers, by protecting shareholders’ rights while facilitating the interaction between shareholders and the panel."

Just as the COVID-19 situation accelerates digitalisation, security is also a growing concern due to the increase in data vulnerability. As a CMMI Level 5 company, Azeus is recognised at the highest level possible internationally for software development capabilities and software integration. The Group’s software services, including the latest e-AGM solution, feature a high level of security. Data is stored in secure hosting facilities audited under international standards, and protected with complex encryption algorithms to ensure data security. In addition, Azeus’ e-AGM solution features a two-factor authentication for added security and verification, as well as a digital proxy form submission for the convenience of shareholders.

About Azeus Systems Holdings Ltd.

Established in 1991, Azeus is a leading provider of IT consultancy services. Headquartered in Hong Kong, Azeus has presence in the United Kingdom, the Philippines and China. Besides designing as well as implementing a wide range of IT software and systems to fulfil the outsourcing needs of customers, Azeus also provides maintenance and support services.

Guiyang Advocates the Integration of Big Data and Local Industries

GUIYANG, China, Aug. 7, 2020At Guizhou Xingdaxing Building Material Co., Ltd., a worker was controlling three production lines through a big data platform."Today we have produced 939.38 cubic meters, and 0.48 cubic meters are left," he told the journalist of Huanqiu.com.

This system the staff operates is called High-Performance Concrete Smart Manufacturing Big Data Cloud Platform, which demonstrates how Guiyang leverages big data to develop industries.

Guiyang, a previously less developed city in Southwest China, has been known for the application of big data to a great variety of sectors in recent years. As China’s "Big Data Valley", how Guiyang utilizes big data in industries? The journalist of Huanqiu.com interviewed several players in local industries.

As the administrative director of Xingdaxing, Li Fuhui told Huanqiu.com, "launched in 2018, this big data system has become the first high-performance concrete big data project in China. Thanks to the platform, big data has been integrated into all aspects of enterprise production and management. We can monitor and track the whole production cycle, including ordering, manufacturing and delivering."

The corporation currently gains unprecedented visibility into its operations. On this basis, Xingdaxing can immediately spot a market trend and accordingly optimize the value chain, thus maximizing the profit and minimizing the costs.

Li said to Huanqiu.com, "Our production efficiency has increased by 10 percent. Moreover, transaction costs, management costs and product development costs have separately reduced by 40 percent, 50 percent and 40 percent."

It notes that Xingdaxing has advocated the intersection of big data with traditional building material industry. The company derives insight from data-driven solutions to boost productivity and profitability.

In addition to the building material industry, big data solutions can also be employed in the pharmaceutical industry to improve product quality and production efficiency. Guizhou Hanfang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. is a case in point.

As director of the Hanfang Pharmaceutical Technology Innovation Center, Zhang Shilin was sitting in the extraction workshop, where a large screen displays the real-time process flow, production parameters and the temperature.

Through automatic detection equipment such as temperature control probes and sensors, the workers can monitor and operate the production line in real time.

He pointed to the screen and told Huanqiu.com, "You can imagine how hard it is to control a two-storey high medicine extraction tank with a storage capacity of six tons. But thanks to the data-driven system, the pharmaceutical temperature range can be accurately controlled within two degrees Celsius, guaranteeing the quality of the medicine."

Furthermore, armed with big data, the workers can save time costs to a large extent. According to Zhang, in the past, it required a great number of manual efforts to submit applications and get instructions.

By comparison, Hanfang has built a data warehouse that gathers information in the production, sales, marketing, testing, management and other links of the entire industry chain.

Guizhou Hanfang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. has built a data warehouse that gathers information in the entire industry chain.
Guizhou Hanfang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. has built a data warehouse that gathers information in the entire industry chain.

In order to complete the production process, the staff currently just need to log in to the production management system, enter the necessary information. Therefore, the manufacturing operation can be simplified to a great extent, which facilitates efficiency.

It can be seen that the big data solution replaces the previous manual method, hence effectively improving the product quality and production efficiency.

In fact, the successful utilization of big data in local industries is inseparable from government support. As China’s Big Data Valley, Guiyang has accelerated the advancement of smart manufacturing and promoted the intersection of industries with big data in recent years.

In 2019, the local government completed 25 bench-marking projects and 308 demonstration projects for big data, and 7 provincial smart manufacturing pilot projects. Major equipment manufacturing projects include Evergrande new energy vehicles, BYD smart manufacturing and Guiyang Geely engines.

According to the municipal government, in the future, Guiyang will continue the in-depth integration of big data with local industries.

On one hand, the government will cultivate new industries, strengthen the real economy and adhere to supply-side structural reform. In 2020, it plans to introduce more than 120 emerging industrial projects, ensuring the output value of new industries accounts for over 20 percent of the total industrial output value.

On the other hand, Guiyang will take advantage of big data to transform and upgrade traditional industries. In 2020, the local government will implement an internal network transformation of more than 50 industrial enterprises, organize over 20 key service providers to build industrial Internet service resource pools.
