HONG KONG, April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Crystal International Group, a global leader in apparel manufacturing headquartered in Hong Kong, is leveraging an array of SAP solutions to power its journey to become a future-enabled Intelligent Enterprise. Throughout its end-to-end business processes, spanning operations in multiple regions, Crystal has embedded SAP’s solutions to power its product lifecycle management, enterprise resource planning, finance, human resources and manufacturing functions, data management system, analytics and automation. These deployments have enabled Crystal to enhance product customization, shorten delivery timeframes and optimize order fulfillment.

SAP solutions have been supporting Crystal for over two decades. From the early adoption of SAP ERP systems to its latest iteration SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Crystal is progressing to accelerate the systems transformation of its vertical apparel business with SAP S/4HANA for Fashion and Vertical Business, SAP S/4HANA Finance, SAP Intelligent Robotic Process Automation, SAP Manufacturing Execution, SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence, SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP Business Technology Platform and SAP SuccessFactors.

By standardizing, simplifying and automating business processes, SAP solutions have optimized the company’s apparel manufacturing capacity to increase yields and minimize waste. As a result, Crystal’s aggregate business outcomes generated by these deployments include a 140% productivity improvement and a 21% revenue increment year-on-year in 2021, with order fulfillment efficiency boosted by 19%.

“Serving some of the world’s most well-known fashion brands, we run our operations at speed to capture ever-changing market opportunities and drive business growth,” said Karl Ting, IS, General Manager, Corporate Information Services, Crystal Group. “For more than 20 years, SAP’s dynamic solutions have helped us design, build and operate on a global scale, most recently enabling us to co-create with customers and optimize our multi-country manufacturing platform with SAP S/4HANA. This transformation has set us on the path to becoming an Intelligent Enterprise, and we look forward to continuing on this promising trajectory with SAP as our trusted partner.”

In addition, SAP solutions have enabled Crystal to integrate various production systems into one centralized platform for efficiency and innovation. By integrating data sources from different factories and locations across its entire operation, Crystal’s decision-makers can responsively help customers achieve unique product specifications with data-powered visibility and business intelligence. Meanwhile, Crystal continues to customize and automate manufacturing processes and workflows to optimize operations and costs, enhancing efficiency while reducing raw material consumption and waste discharge.

Rajni Sharma, Managing Director, SAP Hong Kong, said, “The global apparel industry is in a whirlwind of transformation, and success is defined by digital readiness, operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Apparel manufacturers are confronting a multitude of challenges from resource management and product customization, to increasing costs and ever shorter delivery timelines – all of these mean the industry must push the envelope to a level never seen before. SAP has a host of software products to support companies like Crystal to optimize their entire operation, including design, manufacturing, and order fulfillment. We look forward to enabling customers to generate insights from operational data for better decision-making, improved workflow and increased automation.”

Phai Labs releases whitepaper on building fairer AI for candidate screening

Leave a comment

MELBOURNE, Australia, April 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Phai Labs, the R&D arm of PredictiveHire, has released the whitepaper that informed its FAIRTM Framework, showing how bias in AI can be mitigated with the right steps when using AI for candidate screening.

The FAIRTM Framework (short for Fair AI for Recruitment) received global recognition for its contribution to bias mitigation at the CogX awards.

Phai Labs is releasing the research to further the adoption of their framework and to generate broader interest in the opportunity that AI offers in mitigating bias in hiring.

“Initially my team and I set out to address the fact that badly designed AI systems can amplify bias in hiring, and in doing that, built a framework to monitor and mitigate it,” Chief Data Scientist Dr Buddhi Jayatilleke said.

“This research explores the properties that a machine learning system needs to demonstrate to establish a fairer process for job candidates.”

Based on the findings, Phai Labs identifies bias, validity, explainability and inclusivity as key measurable properties that AI tools in recruitment need to demonstrate.

These four aspects form the basis of fairness in AI-based recruitment tools, helping developers, employers and candidates ask the right questions when assessing or creating assessment tools.

“This whitepaper consolidates a lot of the current thinking around AI and bias, and we want to encourage as many people as possible to read it because this is such a new area of research,” PredictiveHire CEO Barb Hyman said. “Everyone working in this space is on a journey together and it’s important we share and learn from each other to build a better future through AI. Our whitepaper  shows how mitigating bias with AI is possible, and that is definitely something that more people need to understand. We want more people to know how we can do this so it becomes the standard approach.”

Dr Jayatilleke said given this area of research is so new and fast-evolving, it was important his team shared their work broadly so they could get feedback from the community of AI practitioners and researchers. “We are inviting comments from other researchers working in this area. We want to make sure that our framework stands up to robust scientific inquiry.”

The whitepaper can be found on ResearchGate:

JAKARTA, Indonesia, March 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The Indonesia’s Ministry of Communications and Informatics (Kementerian Komunikasi dan Informatika) and National Digital Literacy Movement Siberkreasi successfully held an event titled “Content Writing 101” as a part of Gali Ilmu series on 26 March 2022. Gali Ilmu is a series of informal learning events providing education on digital skills that aims to achieve a #MakinCakapDigital society.

The class featured Linda Rahardja, Content Writer and UX Writer of Gojek, as the guest speaker. The event aims to introduce content writer as a promising career choice, encourage netizens to upgrade their content writing skills while sharing tips in creating an engaging content.

Transformation of Social Media

In February 2022, based on a report from Hootsuite, there were 191.4 million social media users (+21 million from 2021) in Indonesia, which is equivalent to 68.9% of total Indonesian population. Most of those users spent around 3 hours scrolling social media on daily basis, exceeding the amount of time spent on television. Seeing such immerse growth, it is natural that institutions, corporations, brands, and even personal accounts now treat social media as a valuable marketing tool.

Being a user-generated platform, contents play a vital role in entertaining social media users and making them stay longer on the platform. Therefore, recruiting content writers who have the capability of creating relatable and engaging contents will be extremely critical for brands and corporations to be striving on social media.

Rising Star Profession

As of March 2022, there are approximately 1,600 open job vacancies for content writers on a job portal. Such figures cannot be overlooked easily by active job seekers. “With rapid development of social media, the public now perceive content writer as a promising profession in digital transformation era. That’s why we need more classes on digital literacy to improve content writing skill,” said Rizki Ameliah, Coordinator of Digital Literacy Kemenkominfo.

Generally, job description of content writers involves the planning, writing, and editing digital contents. However, generating contents that are capable of captivating massive audiences on various digital platforms is no walk in a park. “Persuasive script is quintessential in producing quality contents,” said Linda when asked on important skill for content writers.

In addition, content writers must also be familiar and up-to-date on aspects that revolve around their profession, as Linda described “To be an impactful content writer, you must have the willingness to continuously learn and explore myriad aspects relating to your profession, including learning the fundamental of social media and understanding how Search Engine Optimization (SEO) works.”

Currently, the Ministry of Communication and Information through GNLD Siberkreasi continues to present various classes and webinars to address digital literacy issues. For more information and other digital literacy events, please visit http://info.literasidigital.id and follow @siberkreasi on social media.

Acendre Rebrands with a Mission to Change the Definition of ‘Being Hired’

ARLINGTON, Va., Feb. 23, 2022 — Acendre, a leading provider of software for talent acquisition and development, today announced a rebrand and a new name, HireRoad.

The rebrand comes as the world of hiring is rapidly changing, requiring organizations to focus on employee fit and engagement with competition for talent increasing. HireRoad delivers easy-to-implement HR software that helps streamline onboarding and fast-track new hires—because meeting new employees where they are and ensuring they have what they need from the start drives organizational excellence.

"Our mission is to change the definition of ‘being hired’ to include everything all along the journey from job posting to job success," said Otto Berkes, Chief Executive Officer of HireRoad. "We are unified by our belief that people are not interchangeable and that organizations succeed when every individual within them succeeds."

At HireRoad, he’s now applying these insights and experiences to software for HR.

  • HR Recruit—Automated hiring processes that configure to organizations’ business needs and preferred recruitment workflow.

  • HR Learn—eLearning and eTraining capabilities that help new employees hit the ground running and existing employees stay up to speed.

With competition for talent increasing, HireRoad ensures that the recruitment and hiring process fosters a sense of belonging and provides a clear understanding of where an individual fits—because fit, cultural affinity, and connection to teams and colleagues all impact performance.

"The employee experience is a human experience," Berkes said. "Meeting new employees where they are and ensuring they have what they need to be successful from the start benefits organizations, especially as turnover increases and employees place greater importance on their work experience and professional development."

ARV partners with IBM to build a national digital corporate identity system for Thailand’s standardized corporate onboarding process

Leave a comment

BANGKOK, Jan. 31, 2022 — AI & Robotics Ventures Company Limited (ARV), a subsidiary of PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Limited (PTTEP), announces that it is launching a blockchain-based National Digital Corporate Identity (NCID) platform, developed in collaboration with IBM (NYSE: IBM). 

AI & Robotics Ventures Company Limited (ARV), a subsidiary of Thailand's PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Limited (PTTEP)
AI & Robotics Ventures Company Limited (ARV), a subsidiary of Thailand’s PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Limited (PTTEP)

The platform will reduce the time it takes for corporate onboarding, also known as Know Your Customer (KYC), at banks. By improving the identity verification of corporate authorized signatories, what used to be a paper-intensive process that could take more than four weeks to complete, is reduced to less than a week. The swifter and leaner process will offer more opportunities for banks and corporates to engage in opportunities which otherwise would have been discouraged due to existing KYC processes.

The NCID platform, the first-of-its-kind digital corporate identity system in ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations), incorporates Thailand’s Electronic Transaction Development Agency standards of self-sovereign identity on public blockchain and secure cryptographic key encryption. Developed on IBM Cloud and Red Hat OpenShift, the platform is secured by the industry’s highest FIPS 140-2 Level 4 security certification, implementing the Keep-Your-Own-Key concept to support future scale and expansion.

"Today marks an important milestone where multiple parties, from government agencies, regulators to PTTEP and its banking partners, collaborate to uncover and tackle the bottle-neck challenges of the corporate onboarding process with Web3 technology," said Sinthu Satawiriya, Head of Ventures at AI and Robotics Ventures. "In collaboration with IBM, this secured platform will unlock new digital banking opportunities between corporates and banks. We believe that the platform and its system will revolutionize the access to digital finance for the entire juristic community across Thailand’s financial and business ecosystem in the near future, in alignment with the Smart Financial Infrastructure effort and ecosystem currently led by the Ministry of Finance and Bank of Thailand."

"IBM is proud to bring our superior technologies, our proven industry expertise and our hybrid cloud infrastructure to help ARV pioneer the creation and execution of this new digital ID network," said Sawat Asdaron, Managing Director of IBM Thailand and Managing Partner of IBM Consulting. "This blockchain-based digital ID platform will bring transformational impact, as not only does it speed up processing time markedly, but also will lead to the standardization of corporate identity verification process for banks in Thailand and support the journey towards comprehensive digital infrastructure of our country.

The system will go live on the ASEAN’s first-of-its-kind joint sandbox set up by the Electronic Transaction Development Agency and the Bank of Thailand in early 2022 and will be first used by PTTEP and its banking partners for corporate KYC for treasury and bank accounts.

As the anchor of the network, PTTEP has collaborated with Bank of Thailand, Electronic Transaction Development Agency and their more than 11 partner banks to pilot the platform via ARV.

About ARV: AI and Robotics Ventures Company Limited (ARV) is the venture building platform of PTTEP. We leverage artificial intelligence and robotics technologies to unlock value and create business opportunities across industries spanning air, land, and sea. Through innovation, R&D, and partnerships, we aspire to deliver unparalleled value and experiences to the ecosystems we engage with.
