The URA has developed the Urban Renewal Information System (URIS) based on the geographic information system (GIS) and applied it to various functions within the organisation. Image: URA At the end of January, the Government launched the Hygiene Blackspots website, which not only lists more than 700 blackspots in Hong Kong and the progress of the authorities’ cleansing efforts, but also allows the public to compare the past and current conditions of blackspots in different districts on an interactive map. The Deputy Chief Secretary Cheuk Wing-hing pointed out that the webpage adopts the map data service shared by the Common Spatial Data Infrastructure (CSDI) Portal, which has just been launched by the Development Bureau. This hygiene black spot platform is the result of departmental collaboration and shows how the government is making good use of technology. This is a good example of how geospatial data can be used to facilitate the brainstorming of the public. The website not only encourages citizens to monitor the effectiveness of the authorities’ work, but also guides the public to work together to improve the cleanliness of the city. Geospatial data enables one to visualise complicated and tedious information, making it easier for the […]

Salesforce research has revealed that business application volumes within Australian organisations have increased nearly 10% in the past year, surpassing 1000 on average. However, just a third (32%) are integrated, creating data silos that lead to rising costs, duplicated work, productivity bottlenecks and disconnected experiences. MuleSoft’s annual Connectivity Benchmark Report surveyed 100 CIOs and IT decision-makers in Australia to better understand these challenges and what organisations can do to succeed amid economic uncertainty. Despite digital transformation advancements, 84% of respondents said integration challenges were slowing their efforts — causing infrastructure issues and major risks as IT budgets come under new scrutiny. Organisations spent, on average, US$3.6 million on custom integration labour in the past 12 months, but 32% of respondents said integrating siloed apps and data was their biggest digital transformation challenge. Some companies are using new technology that employs real-time data technologies to integrate, ingest and store real-time data streams at scale, with built-in connectors that bring in data from every channel (mobile, web, APIs), legacy data through, and historical data from proprietary data lakes. “We’ve seen significant investment and dedication from businesses looking to digitally transform. Even amid uncertain economic conditions, digital transformation efforts are well underway […]

Gulati said, ”Businesses need to transform themselves in order to compete in today’s fast-changing markets. I was interested in studying how DBS transformed itself successfully, and to find out what they did and how they executed it. Through my numerous conversations with the bank’s executives, what came across very strongly were the digital and purpose-focused elements of the transformation and how these permeated every level of the organisation. The willingness from the leadership to resource the change enabled a building up of the workforce’s innovation ‘muscles’ to create a startup culture – quite a feat for […]

Steel manufacturers are investing in digital transformation, which is growing at 10.9 per cent annually, even though the overall steel industry growth remains uncertain. Based on this development, industry experts are calling on companies to use their investment to improve asset efficiencies for increased return on investment ROI, writes Nosa Alekhuogie As the world’s most important engineering and construction material, steel is essential to the global economy. Close to two billion tons of this durable and versatile metal are produced every year, yet, the steel industry has had to deal with its fair share of challenges in recent times. Although recovery from the pandemic turned out to be stronger than expected, economic events and geopolitical turbulence around the world this year have led to an uncertain medium-term outlook for the industry. Global Industry Principal for Mining, Metals and Materials at AVEVA, Martin Provencher, while analysing the development, said broader operating constraints such as an ageing workforce, new environmental regulations, intensifying competition, and shifting global trade flows, would only compound those anxieties. The World Steel Association forecasts that demand will stay flat at 0.4 per cent this year with a total output of 1840 metric tons, before climbing to 2.2 […]
