Cyclone Robotics Launches End-To-End Hyperautomation Product Portfolio to Boost Digital Economy in Asia Pacific, Enabling Automation Across All Stages of Digital Transformation

Leave a comment

SHANGHAI, Nov. 10, 2021 — Cyclone Robotics, the world’s leading RPA provider and thought leader in the era of hyperautomation, launched its enterprise-level product portfolio with end-to-end automation solutions, and announced its expanded global partnership strategy. Strengthened by its product innovation, rich experience in hyperautomation, and extensive global partnership network, Cyclone Robotics aims to fully empower local businesses’ digital transformations across all stages to accelerate the digital economy’s development in Asia Pacific.

Cyclone Robotics’ solutions cover the whole lifecycle of digital transformation including phases of requirements discovery, design, management and engagement, creating a positive feedback loop that accelerates improvements. Furthermore, it integrates with various technologies such as process mining, analysis, AL/ML, iBPMS, iPAAS and zero-code development on the platform, becoming one of the important components of enterprise-level architecture in the digital era.

Cyclone RPA products and solutions run across every stage of digital transformation
Cyclone RPA products and solutions run across every stage of digital transformation

Earlier this year, the world-leading independent research institution Gartner identified hyperautomation as one of the top strategic technology trends of 2022, and noted that RPA enriched by AI has become the core enabling technology of hyperautomation. As an early driver of this trend, Cyclone Robotics recently launched its innovative AI Skill Platform, which supports multiple forms of AI capabilities from software to hardware as well as the CIRI Digital Assistant that seamlessly connects human, digital robot and enterprise system. It is worth mentioning that it also launched RPA Mobile Designer and Mobile App that allow everyone to operate wireless automation process in an easier way.

"As the industry leader driving the future of hyperautomation, Cyclone Robotics has stayed ahead of the trends and invested heavily in product development to provide end-to-end hyperautomation solutions. With better integration between IT and businesses, and a more flexible selection of products, we not only can empower businesses to improve individual task efficiencies, but also provide departmental and enterprise-level RPA solutions for the next stage of their digital transformations as they continue to advance." said Vincent Gao, founder and CEO of Cyclone Robotics.

According to Dr. Jia, Chief Product Officer of Cyclone Robotics, RPA has evolved over the years from its basic stages to the current RPA+, which requires end-to-end process automation capabilities at the departmental level, and will continue to advance to enterprise-level hyperautomation of the future. Cyclone Robotics’ rich experience and practices indicate that enterprises have diverse demands throughout their digital transformation, from very basic applications to more complex challenges. For example, Cyclone Robotics’ partnership with Sinolink Securities, an Asia-Pacific leading securities and investment management firm, has gone through all three RPA stages during its digital transformation journey since 2019. In the beginning, Cyclone Robotics helped launch RPA pilots in some of its business operations that had more informatisation, lower implementation costs, and more frequent standard needs. After Cyclone Robotics’ RPA products and applications were proven successful, Sinolink then began to broadly deploy RPA across the whole company. By 2021, more than 200 RPA operations have been successfully deployed in over 30 departments, achieving 100% execution accuracy with zero errors, 24/7 automated operations, and saving over 6,000 minutes of manpower every day. Moving forward, Cyclone Robotics is working with Sinolink to establish its hyperautomatic middle office with Cyclone Robotics’ recent innovations, such as the aforementioned AI Skill Platform and CIRI. Sinolink can now look forward to more deeply integrated RPA that adds value to its management, business, and collaborations, enabling it to explore more applications for automation.

Gartner also forecasted that the Covid-19 pandemic would fast-forward digital skills adoption by at least five years, which is currently proven by the accelerated digitalisation in Southeast Asia. Automation technologies such as RPA and AI are expected to help address the growing concerns of skills shortage in this region. For example, Singapore, impacted by both Covid-19 restrictions and the government’s hiring policies for foreign skilled workers, is now in heavy demand for tech talents across multiple sectors, especially when it comes to working and managing new technologies. Additionally, other industries like construction, logistics, and manufacturing in Singapore are also seeing rising needs for automation to help them minimise disruption across all aspects of business in the post pandemic recovery.

ASEAN countries including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia have all announced their national strategy for digital transformation. Among them, Singapore is considered as "most prepared" for automation according a 2021 Deloitte report. In October 2021, Singapore also announced new phases of the Smart City Initiatives established in 2019 with China (Shenzhen), and highlighted "robotics development" as one of its three key focus areas.

"We are excited to see RPA’s increasing role in helping accelerate digitalisation in this region," said Dr. Jia. "Cyclone Robotics’ newly launched product portfolio is tailored for all types of needs across digital transformation. With a proven track record of success, and with our strong innovation capabilities in AI, MI, and more, we are confident we can propel local companies to become more competitive and prepared for the coming hyperautomation era by fulfilling their all of their business priorities."

Cyclone Robotics has also announced an accelerated global partnership ecosystem to drive business growth, an expanded business chain and scalable partner values. As of now, it already has a large gathering of global partners on the ecosystem, and has tripled its channel partners. Just months after opening its Singapore branch earlier this year, Cyclone Robotics has successfully signed a number of local partnerships with different expertise across countries and regions, including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Taiwan. "We are encouraged to see so many partnerships formed in SEA shortly after opening our office here. Alongside our new service offering, this rapid expansion of our global partnership network will allow us to empower partners through the ecosystem, and provide efficient on-boarding and responsive services, thereby improving our overall service delivery capabilities," said Dr. Jia. "We look forward to welcoming more partners from all regions into our global ecosystem, through which we’ll provide further localised, professional and tailored offerings, from advisory to solutions, for all types of enterprises throughout their digital transformation journey."

About Cyclone Robotics

Cyclone Robotics completed its Series B in 2020, raising nearly $40 million USD. The team grew from 20 employees in 2019 to 400 members currently across 13 subsidiaries and branches around the world, serving over 500 global customers across Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East. In early 2021, Cyclone Robotics established its Singapore branch, covering Southeast Asia, Japan, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand to empower companies across all industries to realize digital transformation with its full RPA products & services portfolio. To date, Cyclone Robotics is the only RPA provider in China to have been included in the authoritative reports published by both Gartner and Forrester. The firm is committed to maintaining and growing its position as a world-leading RPA provider and thought leader in the era of hyperautomation.

Roofstock Launches Roofstock One, Allowing Investors to Build Customized Portfolios of Single-Family Rental Home Shares Online

Leave a comment

Accredited investors can now easily purchase shares representing interests in fully-managed rental homes for as little as $1,000

OAKLAND, Calif., Nov. 8, 2021 —  Roofstock, the leading digital real estate investing platform for the $4 trillion single-family rental home sector (SFR), today announced the next phase of Roofstock One, its targeted investing platform that gives accredited investors innovative access to this growing asset class. Roofstock One wraps all of Roofstock’s expertise and capabilities, including its deep data science, institutional-caliber research and skilled property acquisition and management services into a single, fully managed product. With Roofstock One, investors can buy shares representing interests in rental homes across markets and multiple properties rather than having to purchase entire homes, making investing in SFR similar to buying a share of stock. Accredited investors can invest in Roofstock One shares for as little as $1,000 with an introductory offer through December 31, 2021.

Roofstock One is a radically simple alternative to traditional real estate investing. Roofstock uses its SFR investment expertise to identify and acquire properties in markets that its data science and research teams have identified as potentially attractive investment opportunities. Roofstock One then issues shares that represent ownership interests in the selected SFR properties. These shares are then bundled based on geography or other characteristics of the properties to provide investors exposure to different investing strategies. Accredited investors can select groups of shares that align with their investing goals, add the investment to their shopping cart, and complete their purchase in a matter of clicks.

"The attractiveness of SFR has long been its ability to generate strong, consistent returns over the long-term in a way that is almost entirely uncorrelated to the stock market," said Gary Beasley, CEO and co-founder of Roofstock. "We believe Roofstock One makes SFR real estate investing the simplest it has ever been." 

Benefits and highlights of Roofstock One include:

  • A hands-off, fractional ownership approach: Investors get many of the economic benefits of direct ownership, such as potential cash flows from rent and asset appreciation, without the traditional associated responsibilities, like managing renovations or tenancy issues.  
  • Ability to customize the investment: Roofstock One allows investors to choose targeted portfolios based on their investment goals. 
  • Professional property and asset management: Roofstock One leverages Roofstock’s industry-leading platform to optimize the performance of the properties on behalf of investors with the goal of maximizing returns on an ongoing basis.
  • Simple tax filing: Roofstock One’s innovative structure makes tax time easier by providing investors with a Form 1099, avoiding Form K-1s and partnership tax issues.

Roofstock’s founders are pioneers of SFR. They were among the first to bring institutional capital, data science, digital technology, and asset management capabilities to an asset class that lacked a modern investing infrastructure. At its launch in 2015, Roofstock took the radical step to democratize access to SFR by making its investment expertise, data, and operational services, along with an exclusive inventory of rental homes available to everyday investors. The solutions Roofstock offers to investors have driven the company’s tremendous growth; surpassing $4 billion in transaction volume along with explosive expansion of its fully managed investment services, which has grown 50x since the beginning of 2021. The relaunch of Roofstock One marks a significant milestone that further levels the playing field for the individual accredited investor.

Roofstock One’s market footprint currently includes homes in affordable markets, such as Georgia, Indiana, and Alabama, that likely will continue to benefit as work-from-home trends become increasingly prevalent. This launch of Roofstock One is just the beginning. Roofstock One is continually innovating on behalf of consumers to create new investment opportunities in SFR. The company is currently exploring a blockchain solution that could reduce transaction costs, streamline reporting, and potentially offer enhanced liquidity options by tokenizing Roofstock One shares or other SFR-related products.

This is bolstered by recent data from YouGov, a London-based international research data and analytics group, which reported countries in the Asia-Pacific region are the world’s largest and quickest growing smartphone markets, and they also lead the way in 5G adoption compared to other parts of the world.

In the Philippines, Smart–the country’s fastest and most reliable 5G network, delivering the most consistent and most available 5G service, according to Ookla–leads the way in 5G adoption and network deployment. 

Smart operates the country’s widest 5G network at more than 4,400 sites nationwide. Most recently, Smart fired up the country’s first commercial 5G Stand-alone (SA) cell sites in business hub Makati City. 5G SA technology paves the way for new industrial applications as it provides super-fast response times and faster access to higher data rates that are critical in advancing Internet of Things solutions for businesses, health care, and smart cities.

To benefit from the best 5G experience in the country, more customers have been making the move to the Smart network without having to change their numbers, as enabled by Mobile Number Portability.

Customers who want to switch to the Smart network must first secure a Unique Subscriber Code from their originating provider to serve as clearance and bring it to the nearest Smart Store along with a valid ID and any proof of mobile ownership. From there, Smart shall begin processing their application without any charges.

To know more about switching to Smart, interested switchers may also visit x.smart/switch or head to the nearest Smart Store. Users may also make the switch via the GigaLife App.

Leave a comment

On360 enables users to create highly engaging digital content for an interactive online experience.

CYBERJAYA, Malaysia, Nov. 2, 2021 — Asia Online Publishing Group (AOPG), Asia’s leading independent IT news publisher and content marketing company, is pleased to announce the launch of On360° (onthreesixty.com).

Delivered as Marketing-as-a-Service (MaaS), On360° is a comprehensive online digital content engagement platform.

Melina Hwang, AOPG General Manager, explained, "In a world flooded with content, marketers need to rise above the noise by creating highly engaging online materials which attract relevant readers by delivering highly valuable and enriched interactive online experiences. That’s exactly what On360° allows marketers to do."

Melina shared that, "Marketing campaigns used to be about finding an audience and driving them to an offline (event) call to action. In today’s new norm,  the ‘experience or call to action’ needs to be online also. Think of On360° as a suite of online content options, all of which can act as a call to action in its own right."

Instead of using unproven black box type algorithms to guess at reader intent, On360° assets engage users and encourage them to share insights naturally as they engage with the content. The net result is to generate rich opt-ins furnished with deeper insight into each reader’s needs and requirements.

Currently, On360° has seven pillars delivered using the MaaS model. The pillars include enriched:

  1. Downloads.
  2. Academy builder/Training.
  3. Digital showcase.
  4. Virtual expo.
  5. Special focus feature.
  6. e-directory.
  7. Intelligent assessment.

Not only does the platform allow you to build these landing sites but, in addition, On360° subscribers get access to our editorial team to help them write and produce the content that is published to these pages.

Melina described how On360° evolved. "We are the leading IT news publisher in the region but we monetise by running online marketing and lead generation campaigns for our clients. As part of this process, we have developed multiple platforms over the years which have assisted our online lead generation efforts. We realised that this IP was valuable not just to us but to any marketers looking to modernise their marketing approach. On360° is a natural evolution. Using our own methods, techniques and IP, we have created a single platform that can be used by any online marketer in any industry."

She continued, "We see a bright future for the platform with the development path already defined for some time into the future, with advanced analytics and CRM integrations already being worked on."

AOPG will continue to use On360° as its own internal engine, powering marketing campaigns for its existing clientele. Melina points out that the really exciting aspect of this announcement is how she expects On360° to become an integral tool in an online marketer’s toolbox, akin to their webinar provider subscription.

SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 29, 2021 — The Information Age has changed our way of life; people are constantly surrounded by information and data, whether at work or in their daily life. Due to the influence of the Information Age, big data is currently the hottest IT industry keyword. Together with data analysis, data warehousing, data security, and other elements related to the commercial value of big data are gradually becoming the focus of profitability in the electronic information technology industry. The security and stability of data are also becoming important indicators by which to judge an enterprise’s overall strength. As a result, developments in the era of big data have placed stringent requirements on storage products, which are no longer limited to basic features such as capacity and performance. Error correction, compatibility, and data protection capabilities have gradually transformed the core competitiveness of storage products.

As the country with the fastest rate of 5G network construction, China has built more than 993,000 5G base stations, covering all prefecture-level cities and more than 95% of counties and 35% of townships nationwide, with more than 392 million cell phone connections to 5G terminals. Due to the extensive applications of 5G, its high degree of reliability and low latency. this technology will launch the rapid development of IoT, IoV, AR/VR, Ultra HD video and other related fields.
