  • Universal Digital Payments set up by GFT, Red Date, TOKO, DLA Piper to move into POCs

    Universal Digital Payments set up by GFT, Red Date, TOKO, DLA Piper to move into POCs

    Launched at Davos during the World Economic Forum week, the Universal Digital Payments Network is a DLT-underpinned messaging backbone focused on providing interoperability between the fast-growing number of different regulated stablecoins and CBDCs, and seamless connectivity between any business IT system and regulated digital currencies. At the Davos launch event, representatives from leading global financial institutions Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Standard Chartered, The Bank of East Asia, and Akbank discussed the rapidly evolving world of digital currency, the importance of interoperability, and the need for an infrastructure to support these developments.

    The UDPN has the potential to drive down the cost of digital payments and accelerate adoption by banks and businesses of all sizes.

    Over two years in development, the UDPN is an advanced digital currency payments project that has achieved several significant milestones to date, including the launch of a UDPN Sandbox in July last year, in which multiple banks have been actively testing stablecoin transfer and swap transactions. A number of global Tier 1 banks will participate in a series of Use Case POCs this month which will demonstrate how the UDPN will solve the current and future challenges of integrating digital currency into daily business, banking, and payment scenarios.

    The first two POCs will involve two global banks testing UDPN’s digital currency cross-border transfer and swap transaction capabilities

    The first two POCs will involve two global banks testing UDPN’s digital currency cross-border transfer and swap transaction capabilities, and also how the critical “Travel Rule” can be easily implemented on the UDPN between two financial institutions for anonymous stablecoin transfers.

    The network was developed with contributions from global IT engineering and solutions provider GFT, decentralised cloud infrastructure company Red Date Technology, and TOKO, the digital asset creation engine delivered in collaboration with DLA Piper.

    “The purpose of UDPN is to investigate a potential alternative to existing payments systems by enabling interoperability between fiat-backed tokens of stablecoins and regulated protocols,” said Marika Lulay, CEO of GFT. “The decentralised approach and geographic breadth of participating firms, combined with the advanced technological solution deployed for these trials, set this network apart.”

    Infosys working with Australian Open for 50% emission reduction by 2030, new video insights

    Infosys, a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, is bridging technology and purpose at the Australian Open 2023, with empowering technologies for fans, players, coaches, media and the surrounding ecosystem. Now in the fifth year of its partnership with Tennis Australia, Infosys is using its bespoke ‘tennis platform’ to evolve experiences for the 2023 tournament while shaping AO’s future vision. New experiences in 2023 include:

    Engage: A digital carbon management platform

    Infosys collaborated with TA to define, design and develop Engage, a prototype digital platform that will support TA in its ambition to achieve a 50% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2040, in accordance with the UN Sports for Climate Change Action Framework. The platform will enable TA to track and visualise its emissions reduction performance and will facilitate integration of vendor and supplier emissions data. The platform will enable better transparency for each AO event from 2023 onwards, across Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.

    Infosys is also driving sustainable change in its presence at the tournament. The Infosys Fan Zone at Melbourne Park is certified as climate active, with its entire carbon footprint offset and the structure recycled.

    AI Video Insights: Powering on-court strategy and media reporting

    An enhanced Player’s Portal with new AI-generated videos will provide players and coaches with game and competitor insights for post-match reviews and pre-game analysis. Additional features added for AO 2023 include Get into the Zone, which plays video montages of the player’s previous exceptional performances to put them in the winning mindset before the match. An opponent tendency feature will also allow players to view and analyse the statistical playing tendencies of their opponents.

    Beyond players and coaches, AI Shot of the Day has been enhanced to enable Tennis Australia’s media team to quickly analyse and post social media ready clips from the best shots of each day.

    Match Centre 2.0: Enabling predictive insights to increase fan-engagement

    A refreshed Match Center 2.0 will live on the AO website and mobile app for all matches throughout the tournament providing fans with immersive insights such as Matchbeats, Stroke Summary, Rally Analysis, Courtvision and AI Commentary. A new win predictor makes every match more engaging to follow with a real-time prediction as the game progresses. To improve accessibility and engage a larger fanbase, Infosys MatchBeats has been enhanced to present simplified game data and visualisations with the use of contrasting colour combinations meeting Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 AA.

    Infosys Springboard: Nurturing future leaders

    Infosys and TA are also collaborating to nurture future leaders in the region, with year 10 and 11 students from metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria getting access to digital learning enabled by Infosys Springboard. Through a customised version of the platform, program beneficiaries have the opportunity to learn transferrable skills in areas such as inclusion, leadership, technology, and design thinking.

    Craig Tiley, CEO of Tennis Australia and Australian Open Tournament Director, said, “Working with Infosys over the past five years has enabled us to set new benchmarks in fan engagement using digital technologies. This partnership has enabled us to deliver new innovative digital experiences year after year for everyone associated with the tournament. We are also going deeper and wider in our journey this year with truly meaningful use of technology for climate action. We remain committed to making the Australian Open a global standard for a digitally-enabled sport that is inspiring, engaging, inclusive and sustainable.”

    Andrew Groth, Executive Vice President Infosys and Region Head, Infosys Australia and New Zealand, said, “Through detailed journey mapping of how fans, players, coaches and partners engage in the AO, our teams continually identify opportunities to innovate across digital and physical touchpoints with a focus on entertainment, sustainability and accessibility. Our journey continues in 2023, through engaging fans in new digital experiences, engaging players through digital coaching and better preparing young leaders through digital learning tools. This year, Infosys is particularly proud to contribute to the long-term sustainability goals of Tennis Australia, with the development of the Engage carbon tracking platform, which will be transformative for the sport and the AO as it moves towards a net-zero future.”

  • e& demonstrates reduction of energy usage with modernised 5G mobile networks

    e& demonstrates reduction of energy usage with modernised 5G mobile networks

    The November 2022 edition of the Ericsson Mobility Report forecasts that 5G subscriptions in the Gulf Cooperation Council region are projected to grow steadily at an average annual rate of 30 percent, from 15 to 71 million up to the end of 2028, accounting for 86 percent of total connections at that time.

    The latest report also highlights the importance of reducing environmental impact. The telecommunications sector has a key role to play in addressing global sustainability goals, both by reducing its own emissions and through its potential to reduce carbon emissions across other industries.

    To reduce the environmental impact, the growing data traffic needs to be managed with smart network modernization combined with a balanced approach to network performance. the report

    Sabri Ali Albreiki, Chief Technology Officer, e& international, says: ”At e& it is priority to address the various challenges related to climate change and we are working continuously with our partners and stakeholders to create sustainable solutions and services. With 5G adoption accelerating, digital technologies and innovation are in demand more than ever. Our vision is to enable organisations to maximise their digital potential but at the same time decarbonizing the network by deploying energy-efficient products and incorporating renewable energy resources in our activities.”

    Ekow Nelson, Vice President and Head of Global Customer Unit for e& at Ericsson Middle East and Africa, says: “It is imperative that the industry bends the energy growth curve through building more sustainable networks as data traffic grows exponentially from increased consumption of video content and new use cases from AR, VR to 5G.  That is why we have partnered with e& on energy efficient networks and a range of decarbonization initiatives, to strengthen our response to the global climate challenge without impacting customer experience or stifling innovation.”

    Global 5G subscriptions remain on track to top one billion by the end of this year, and five billion by the end of 2028, despite current and developing economic challenges in many parts of the world. By the end of 2028, five billion 5G subscriptions are forecast globally, accounting for 55 percent of all subscriptions. In that same timeframe, 5G population coverage is projected to reach 85 percent while 5G networks are expected to carry around 70 percent of mobile traffic and account for all contemporary traffic growth.

    On 5G itself, about 110 million subscriptions were added globally between July-September 2022, bringing the total to about 870 million. As forecast in previous reports, 5G is still expected to reach one billion subscriptions by the end of this year – two years faster than 4G did, following its launch. The statistic reinforces 5G as the fastest-scaling mobile connectivity generation.

    Overall mobile subscriptions are expected to top 8.4 billion by the end of 2022, and 9.2 billion by the end of 2028. Most subscriptions are associated with smartphones. At the end of 2022, 6.6 billion smartphone subscriptions are estimated, accounting for about 79 percent of all mobile phone subscriptions.

    The report also forecasts global fixed wireless access (FWA) connections to grow faster than previously expected. FWA – the wireless alternative to wireline broadband connectivity for homes and businesses – is one of the major early 5G use cases, particularly in regions with unserved or underserved broadband markets. FWA is forecast to grow at 19 percent year-on-year through 2022-28, and top 300 million connections by the end of 2028.

  • US Army offers Google Workspace to personnel due to shortfall in Army 365 licensing

    US Army offers Google Workspace to personnel due to shortfall in Army 365 licensing

    The US Army has provided Google Workspace collaboration suite, to more than 180,000 personnel due to email licensing shortfalls and other IT challenges. The Google platform was considered to serve troops who lost access to official email accounts. When the US service transitioned to Army 365, it moved to an individual-license model, but identified there would not be enough Microsoft licenses to cover the personnel.

    Google and Microsoft compete in multiple areas and were in late 2022 picked by the Pentagon, alongside Amazon and Oracle, for the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability contract. Google announced the Workspace package achieved IL4 authorization, a security requirement related to the handling of critical infrastructure, defense, intelligence, finance and proprietary business information. It had previously achieved FedRAMP High authorization.

    Abu Dhabi SCAD and the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy have signed a service-level agreement that allows collaboration between the two parties in the field of statistical integration as part of a strategy to develop an advanced statistical ecosystem which provides high-quality statistics through a decentralised model.

    The agreement was signed by HE Ahmed Mahmoud Fikri, the Director General of SCAD and HE Eng. Ahmed Mohammed Belajer Al Rumaithi, Undersecretary of the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy (DoE), on the sidelines of the 15th edition of the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW) 2023, which is held on January 14-19, 2023, under the patronage of UAE President HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

    According to the agreement, SCAD would support DoE in developing its statistical capabilities by applying the best practices and scientific methodologies for data integration through advanced solutions that can eliminate dependency on surveys and opinion polls. The integration is envisaged to optimise the usability of the administrative registers to sustain production of statistics along with saving time and effort.

    DoE would be enabled to produce and publish its statistical indicators as per SCAD’s portfolio according to the approved methodologies, standards, and dissemination calendar to produce high-quality statistics in a timely manner.

    HE Ahmed Mahmoud Fikri said: “This agreement highlights the importance of integration and collaboration between government entities in the field of statistics for building an advanced statistical ecosystem that contributes to the improvement of public services and standards of living in Abu Dhabi through a decentralised statistical model of data collection, analysis and dissemination taking into consideration the international best practices.”

    His Excellency added: “The agreement helps government entities achieve higher levels of statistical maturity, meet user needs and support policy and decision makers to forecast the future, and achieve goals of the sustainable development plans across the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.”

    For his part, H.E. Eng. Ahmed Mohammed Al Rumaithi, Undersecretary of the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy (DoE), welcomed the agreement and said: “We are pleased to sign this agreement with SCAD because of its utility in policy decision-making, research studies and planning based on modern data analytics, and the potential to apply the data to serve our clean energy goals.”

    H.E. Al Rumaithi also pointed out that the Department of Energy seeks to support and consolidate the existing strategic partnerships between the Department and various local and federal government entities on areas of statistical information exchange, in a way that meets the needs of all parties and achieves common benefits.

    Under this agreement, the DoE gets access to the SCAD’s Insights and Foresights Platform (IFP), which was launched in October 2021 under the auspices of H.H. Sheikh Khalid bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Member of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Office (ADEO). The platform provides insights, statistical analyses and forecasts that are essential for Abu Dhabi’s development plans and strategies.

    The signing of the agreement comes at an important stage in which SCAD is developing an advanced statistical ecosystem that adopts a decentralised approach to achieve the highest standards of sustainability in the production of statistical indicators and to enable government entities to collect, analyse and publish data to meet the needs of users and support decision-makers.

    With increased interest and demand in cloud solutions amongst Epicor customers in the Middle East, the new UAE data centre — slated to be online Spring 2023 — will help Epicor customers boost performance and speed, as well as improve security. This gives customers using the company’s purpose-built portfolio of solutions — including Epicor Kinetic for manufacturing — a modern, flexible, and scalable technology approach that helps them better compete and grow their businesses.

    “We were pleased with our performance in 2022 including increased interest and adoption in cloud-based solutions, and we’re continuing to invest in technologies and infrastructure to ensure our customers have the cutting-edge capabilities they require to connect their operations and prioritize growth,” said Vibhu Kapoor, Epicor Regional Vice President, Middle East, Africa & India. “Customers are choosing Epicor not only for our cloud capabilities and deep industry expertise, but they’re also interested in strong levels of support from a reliable partner.

    In addition to highlighting the data centre investment, Epicor also showcased key customer successes at its Middle East Customer Day with the first regional Customer Excellence Awards, honouring several innovative companies that have driven growth and profitability this past year using Epicor solutions.

    The winners included:

    • Journey to the Cloud Excellence Award: Al Shawamikh Oil Services was recognized for driving continuous improvements through automation and digitization of several key operational process to modernize and transform their business.

  • Saudi Lime selects Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise hosted on AWS

    Saudi Lime selects Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise hosted on AWS

    Infor, the industry cloud company, announced that Saudi Lime Industries, a Saudi Arabia-based producer and supplier of limestone products, has selected Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise powered by Amazon Web Services, to help simplify and automate its business and processes.

    Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise, a powerful, composable, platform-based ERP solution preconfigured for discrete manufacturers, will boost SLIC’s ability to optimally meet surging demand for its products from sectors including construction, iron & steel, glass production, mining, and agriculture in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, and support Saudi Arabia’s economic diversification in line with the aims of Saudi Vision 2030.

    Demand for limestone is rising rapidly. The global limestone market is expected to reach $86.75 billion in 2026, up from $68.32 billion in 2022, representing a compound annual growth rate of 6.15% during that time, according to The Business Research Co. The figure is likely to be higher in SLIC’s key markets, especially Saudi Arabia, where the construction and infrastructure sectors are booming on the back of mega-projects such as the NEOM smart city and developments on the Red Sea Coast.

    SLIC was founded in 1977 and has its main plant and headquarters in Riyadh, in addition to brick production operations in Jeddah. The company produces a full range of lime-based products, including limestone, dolomite, quicklime and hydrated lime, plus blocks and bricks. The production cycle, from mining to processing and distribution, is extremely complex, involving significant manpower, partnerships, and diverse equipment and machinery.

    To maintain its lead in the market and continue improving its ability to serve customers, SLIC developed a digital transformation strategy called SPARK, which included a plan to simplify its operations, raise efficiency, and capture and analyze valuable data to gain operational and market insights to further improve performance.

    SLIC selected Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise as its ERP solution because it met these needs and more. The solution is preconfigured for SLIC’s industry-specific needs and will help it achieve a shorter implementation and therefore faster time to value by gaining visibility of its business and transform the processes required to quickly respond to customer, supplier and regulatory needs — with no software customizations required. It also will allow SLIC to integrate with its suppliers, partners and customers, helping it anticipate issues such as supply chain bottlenecks or upcoming changes in demand. These capabilities made it easy for SLIC to select Infor’s ERP solution, which the management team said was a clear choice over the rival solutions they assessed.

    “One of the key reasons we selected Infor was the feedback we received from the end users in Saudi Lime as part of a vigorous selection process. Infor was the clear leader among the vendors we trialed,” said Eng Abdullah Faris, SLIC IT consultant. “We were genuinely excited to learn about the capabilities of Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise, which feels as if it has been tailor-made for our company’s needs but with all the convenience of buying an off-the-shelf solution. The software does everything we need it to do and more: It is helping us reduce complexity and gain visibility, while increasing our understanding of our business and key markets better, which is a win-win for SLIC and our customers. It also means we’ll be better placed to support Saudi Arabia’s industrial diversification.”

    SLIC expects to go live with Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise in May. SLIC is also deploying Infor Global Human Resources Employee Manager Self-Service module, which will streamline HR processes and enable the company’s growing workforce — currently about 370 people — to access HR services and information from anywhere at any time on any device.

    “By deploying Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise, SLIC is showing how preconfigured, industry-specific ERP can help companies in specialist industries with complex footprints simplify their business, become agile, and turn their data into a catalyst for continual improvement,” said Kerry Koutsikos, Infor vice president and GM for Middle East Africa. “We’re excited to support SLIC on its ambitious transformation plan.”
