Fenergo, a leading provider of Client Lifecycle Management (CLM) solutions for financial institutions announced its entry into the Taiwanese market through a partnership with Tung-I Information Services, a Taiwanese provider of solutions powered by artificial intelligence (AI) in finance, information security, private cloud implementation and smart retail.As an exclusive CLM partner, Fenergo will provide Tung-I's current and prospective Taiwanese clients access to advanced Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money-Laundering (AML) capabilities, further strengthening the company's offering. To ensure a seamless client experience, Tung-I will provide local support, maintenance and implementation of Fenergo's CLM solutions.The partnership comes in response to recent evaluations by the Asia/Pacific Group (APG) to prevent money laundering related crimes in Asia Pacific. The inter-governmental organisation, which consists of 41 member jurisdictions including Taiwan, reviewed Taiwan's AML practices in November 2018. The results, due to be announced in July 2019, are expected to have a profound impact on the country's ability to handle financial transactions worldwide."Our partnership with Tung-I marks our entry into the Taiwanese market, and further solidifies our expansion into APAC," said Julian Clarke, global head of Partnerships and Alliances. "The Fenergo partnership programme is constantly evolving as we continue to build a strong and trusted network of partners such as Tung-I across the globe and leverage local connections by having a partner with an established reputation in the region.""Our banking clients require a CLM solution that transforms how they manage clients from initial onboarding, KYC/AML compliance, client data management and KYC reviews," said Tseng-Wei Chao, Executive Director at Tung-I. "Fenergo is a leader in this space and for us was the most obvious choice to partner with in helping our clients across Taiwan meet full compliance with risk and regulatory obligations throughout their entire lifecycle.""Regulatory rules are ramping up in APAC with differing requirements between countries. It's important that firms in the region have a solution that fulfils all obligations and eases the pressure off compliance teams," said Kyoka Li, APAC director of Sales, at Fenergo. "It's clear that APAC needs to get moving and this partnership with Tung-I comes at a crucial time ahead of APG checks where financial institutions in Taiwan must ensure they are future proofed and meet regulatory and compliance requirements."

Foxconn Technology Group founder Terry Gou has noted that G2 - the US and China - will replace G20 in a new leadership framework: one world, two systems.Gou made the remarks at the G2 and Beyond forum that Digitimes organized in Taipei on June 22. The forum also featured SoftBank Group founder Masayoshi Son and Katerra chairman Michael E Marks.Gou expressed optimism in his dialogue with the present writer at the event that the upcoming meeting between US president Donald Trump and Chinese president Xi Jinping at the 2019 G20 Summit to be held June 28-29 in Osaka, Japan will provide an opportunity for both countries to break stalemates in trade talks,The G2 imposes decisive influences in the global ICT industry development, with the US commanding over 50% of the world's top-10 tech firms and startup unicorns and China taking 25%.Digitimes statistics show that of the world's top-10 tech firms as of June 2019, six come from the US, two from China and one each from Taiwan and Korea. Microsoft leads the list with a market cap of over US$1 trillion, and China's Tencent and Alibaba are also among the 10 most influential tech firms.CB Insights tallies also indicate that there are 360 unicorn startups around the world as of mid-June 2019, with 177 unicorns (49%) coming from the US, followed by China with 90 (25%), the UK with 19 (5%) and India with 16 (4%), indicating the US and China are dominating the world's future tech innovations.Growing influences in emerging sectorsActually, China also shows growing influence in emerging sectors such as electrical vehicles (EV) and 5G. But all these rely on the support of crucial semiconductor components, which are now dominated by US suppliers. Once the US - despite all possible impact - decides to ban US firms from shipping key IC components and technologies to China, then China is likely to become a paper tiger. In this regard, the only concern for the US is how to prevent such prohibitive actions from hitting its domestic businesses too hard and even causing global economic recession.Qualcomm has seen 67% of its chipset shipments destined for China, Broadcom 50%, with Micron, TI and Intel also highly relying on the China market. The Trump administration's ban on Huawei is going to hit hard US suppliers and even Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp, and Huawei's revenues could drop by up to US$30 billion in two years.Moreover, once the US decides after the G20 meeting to levy 25% tariffs on the final batch of US$325 billion in Chinese imports, not only Taiwan ODMs of notebooks and handsets will suffer significantly but US consumers will also have to pay much higher prices for the products subject to the high tariffs. Many US tech firms Apple, HP, Dell and Microsoft are likely to face disastrous results.Gou's recipes for minimizing trade lossesTo minimize possible trading losses, Gou said that the best solution is for the US to allow its suppliers to continue shipping components for general commodities such as notebooks, handsets, and TVs, instead of enforcing a blanket ban on all shipments. This way, China will remain both a production base and an export outlet for major US vendors and their supply chains.As to 5G and semiconductor development projects, both countries can negotiate over possible cooperation patterns, under the prerequisite that the US continues to control the 5G construction progress and upstream IC materials and design technologies, according to Gou.As Foxconn maintains major investments in China and the US and handles large-size contract production orders for US vendors, Gou is quite aware of market uncertainties and possible changes arising from the trade war. He said what Taiwan can do now is to ready diverse solutions and develop high-quality products for domestic demand, paving the way for exporting them in the future.Beyond satisfying the demands of the US and China, Taiwan can also extend their industry prowess to Southeast Asia, Gou said, adding that agile Taiwan makers can always find new opportunities and survival space amid volatile market environments, regardless of the development and outcome of the US-China trade conflicts.Foxconn founder Terry Gou (right) in a dialogue with Digitimes president Colley Hwang (left)Photo: Michael Lee, Digitimes, June 2019

Michael E Marks, incumbent chairman of Katerra and former CEO of Flextronics has pointed out that Taiwan should focus on the manufacturing of products with premium values instead of mass production of entry-level devices.Marks made the comments at the G2 and Bedyond forum that Digitimes organized in Taipei on June 22, which also featured SoftBank chairman Masayoshi Son and Foxconn Technology Group founder Terry Gou.Marks pointed out that technologies have changed a lot over the years. In the early 1980s, most of the technology companies were relatively small, but now tech firms have become the most important ones in the world, which gives Taiwan an important role to play in the existing ICT ecosystem.He believes that Taiwan is in a perfect position in the supply chain today because of its high-quality education, strong engineering, good working ethics, and respect for intellectual property, and fair amounts of capital. With these resources coming together, Taiwan has great opportunities to advance to a new level in the technology space.Marks noted that the tech industry has changed from a field filled with discrete products to a series of tools that are used to disrupt other old industries.Citing Softbank's investments as an example, Marks pointed out that many of the firms that the Japanese conglomerate has invested in are applying technology tools such as cloud, software, robotics and AI, to traditional businesses to create massive new opportunities within these industries, with Taiwan's upstream supply chain playing a major part in facilitating these opportunities.Marks noted that Katerra is a technology construction company that applies new methods to create new-generation smart factories, hospitals and residential buildings. The company also has formed partnerships with Taiwan's ICT upstream suppliers including Delta Electronics provides a smart energy system and Kinestral that supplies smart windows.Marks pointed out that the smart energy system that Katerra and Delta has jointly developed is able to cut 70% of used space compared to other available systems in the market, while the costs are 30% lower and energy consumption is 40% less. He stressed such systems can only be accomplished by Taiwan's makers.Marks said that Taiwan is perfectly positioned to do new technologies for all kinds of smart industries as many western enterprises are finding it difficult to acquire solutions with such high technology from China or India.Marks believes the semiconductor industry is becoming more and more important, while Internet of Things (IoT), software, sensors and AI will be found in every aspect of human life including cars, buildings and hospitals. Taiwan should focus investments in top-end manufacturing, smart products and applications, and find its position in the future ecosystem.Katerra chairman Michael MarksPhoto: Shihmin Fu, Digitimes, June 2019

Commenting on the US-China trade tensions and how they are affecting the ICT upstream supply chains in Taiwan, Japan and Korea, Digitimes president Colley Hwang has pointed out that the row is in fact a war between the two superpowers over control of technologies.The two superpowers' technology competition is deeply affecting the worldwide ICT supply chain and the semiconductor industry in particular, in both of which Taiwan plays key roles, Hwang said in his presentation at the G2 and Beyond forum that Digitimes organized in Taipei on June 22.The forum featured SoftBank Group chairman Masayoshi Son, Foxconn Technology Group founder Terry Gou and Katerra CEO Michael E Marks.Hwang pointed out that the first island chain has become the technology island chain where Taiwan, Japan and Korea are key members who are finding themselves in similar positions in the face of the US-China disputes.Despite the fact that the tensions are between the US and China, the battlefields are actually in the IT island chain, said Hwang, adding how to survive in their war has already become a major concern for these Asian tech-savvy countries.With the US government looking to reshape worldwide ICT ecosystem via four waves of tariffs, many Taiwan players have started shifting their production lines from China to other places including Taiwan, showing that hardware capability is a major safeguard that helps protect Taiwan's ICT industry, Hwang explained.But the semiconductor industry is the core barrier that truly defends Taiwan's ICT competitiveness. Because of Taiwanese semiconductor companies' strong influence, Taiwan is a critical part of the US-China trade tensions, and if Taiwan is able to carefully maneuver between the two superpowers, great opportunities are certainly awaiting Taiwan's ICT industry, Hwang said.Hwang pointed out that Taiwan's hardware manufacturers have created two million jobs worldwide and that is one of Taiwanese makers' major contributions to the world, but for the future, Taiwan should consider creating even higher added value. Taiwan needs to be friends with both the US and China, both of which need support from Taiwan's supply chain, he said.Korea has seen its major industries including steelmaking, petrochemical, car-making, shipbuilding, handset and flat panel surpassed by China, and the semiconductor sector is the next one at stake, Hwang said. But Taiwan should not play just a spectator role, as Taiwan's ICT industry is China's next target after Korea.Hwang pointed out that Taiwan's semiconductor industry and Samsung have close coopetition, with competition accounting for only around 10% of their businesses, and the rest coming from cooperation. There are actually many more cooperation opportunities between Taiwanese and Korean semiconductor firms, and that should be a direction the two sides need to head toward, which is necessary for them to survive the US-China war.Digitimes president Colley HwangPhoto: Michael Lee, Digitimes, June 2019

SoftBank Group founder Masayoshi Son believes artificial intelligence will bring the biggest paradigm shift in human history, revolutionize all industries.Son made the prediction during a forum, "G2 and Beyond," that Digitimes organized in Taipei on June 22.He cited some major paradigm shifts in recent history, such as the Industrial Revolution and the invention of motor cars.He said in 1850, 65% of the people in the US were farmers, and 36% were in the services and manufacturing sectors. As of 2016, only 2% of the US people are farmers, while 98% are in the manufacturing and services sectors.In 1900, horse-drawn carriages were the major transport on Fifth Avenue in New York, but 13 years later, they were rarely seen, replaced by motor cars, he said. And he predicted that on the same street in 2035, they will be almost all autonomous cars."I think now is a critical moment in our lifetime. This is the time of paradigm shift," Son told the audience, speaking in public for the time in Taiwan. "Information revolution has just begun."Since 1995, Internet traffic has grown one million times, and the market cap of Internet companies has grown exponentially in the same period.As of the end of 1994, only one of the top-10 companies in terms of market cap in the world was in the IT industry - namely IBM, Son noted. But as of June 2019, seven out of the top-10 are Internet-related companies - not even IBM is among them.But the Internet has revolutionized only two industries: advertising and retail, which account for 1% and 6% of the global GDP."AI is going to disrupt and change all industries," Son asserted. "If you think of the Internet traffic as traffic of simple data, AI traffic is traffic of information with intelligence.""AI is the biggest revolution in human history," the SoftBank chairman asserted.He said AI capacity enabled by quantum computer, or super-fast CPU or GPU, could be one millions times faster intelligence than humans.In the last 30 years, only three things have mattered in the information industry: the power of CPU, the memory capacity and communication speed, which have improved by one million times during the period, Son said, predicting that they would improve by another one million times in the next 30 years.He said in 30 years' time, AI could be one million times smarter than it is today, enabled advancements in technology, such as quantum computing."When that happens, I would say that super intelligence is coming," Son said, adding that 30 years from now AI could be "super genius," thousands of times more intelligent than human genius.But he is optimistic that AI will not be taking over all jobs from human beings, who are better in creativity.He said AI will be helping improve human life, solving many problems that cannot be solved today: such as avoiding car accidents and curing fatal diseases.To embrace the coming of the age of AI, Son said his company has created the SoftBank Vision Fund specializing in AI, investing in unicorns, and creating synergy.SoftBank Group founder Masayoshi SonPhoto: Shihmin Fu, Digitimes, June 2019

SoftBank Group chairman Masayoshi Son has disclosed that he was not invovled in Arm's decision to stop shipments to Huawei in the wake of the US ban on the Chinese handset and telecom equipment vendor."There is a misunderstanding, especially in China, that I stopped Arm shipments to China, but that is a complete misunderstanding," said Son during a Digitimes-organized forum in Taipei on June 22. It was the first time that Son has talked about the Arm decision in public.He said he was not aware of the decision until he read about it in the newspaper, as he is not involved in the day-in day-out running of the UK-based company, which SoftBank owns. He said Arm did not ask about his opinion before making the decision.He said Arm actually has not terminated its partnerships with Huawei, but it was acting in compliance with the US rule about banning shipments to Huawei for products with 25% or more of US-originated content.Arm has had to stop shipments to Huawei while checking which products are in that "25%" bracket, Son said. He said he does not know how that checking progress will last, but hopes it will be completed very quickly."Arm has not stopped its relationships with Huawei; Arm is studying which product is over 25% (in US-originated content), and which product is not," Son said.Arm is supposed to be able to ship to Huawei any product that is lower than 25%, he said. "Arm hopes to continue its relationship with Huawei," Son said.Son said he hopes to relist Arm in the stock maket in five years, but has not decided where it will be listed.The forum also marked the first time that Son has spoken in public in Taiwan. Joining him in the forum included Foxconn Technology Group founder Terry Gou and Katerra chairman Michael E Marks.SoftBank Group founder Masayoshi SonPhoto: Shihmin Fu, Digitimes, June 2019

Foxconn Technology Group founder Terry Gou, SoftBank Group chairman Masayoshi Son, and Katerra CEO Michael E Marks gathered together at a Taipei forum on June 22 to dissect the importance of Taiwan in the global IT supply chain, as a new world order is being shaped by the arm-wrestling between the US and China.The "G2 and Beyond" forum was organized by Digitimes to examine the opportunities and challenges presented by the arrival of an era characterized by AI, 8K, 5G and other cross-sector applications that promise a new wave of huge growth despite the dramatic twist in the relations between the world's two biggest economies.Son, speaking in public in Taiwan for the first time, presented his views at the forum about his Japan-based conglomerate's vision for the future. He noted that artificial intelligence (AI) represents the biggest paradigm shift in human history.Over the past 25 years, the Internet has brought revolutionary changes to advertising and retail businesses, but AI will be the revolution of the next stage, redefining all industries, Son said.Son said SoftBank is responding to the paradigm shift with a "Cluster of No. 1 Strategy." The SoftBank Group's companies and venture capital firms will make full use of AI, which promises to solve many of the world's problems, he stressed.Marks, with experiences across many different sectors, has played leadership roles at SanDisk, Flextronics, Tesla and venture capital firms. He was also the first to introduce advanced IT into the conventional construction business.Marks noted in his presentation that he has had a long standing relationship with Taiwan's IT industry. In fact, as chairman of Flextronics, he led the EMS provider in a fierce competition with Taiwan and Gou's Foxconn, but they have become good friends now.Marks said Taiwan owns several key technologies that can attract global investments and enable partnerships with internationally top-notch firms. He also noted that in the US these days, technology companies are either unable or unwilling to accept Chinese investment, so it is a perfect opportunity for Taiwan to invest in the US, and thereby develop long-term technology partnerships.Digitimes president Colley Hwang pointed out in his presentation that a new order in the global industry is being formed under the G2 framework.Hwang said that the first island chain formed by Japan, Korea and Taiwan during the Cold War is now an IT island chain that has strong influence in the US-China arm-wrestling, thanks to their prowess in the semiconductor sector. He hopes Taiwan can establish an authoritative voice at this critical moment.Hwang later also had a dialogue at the event with Gou discussing whether the current situation facing Taiwan is a crisis or a turning point.Gou asserted that a "G2 leading the world in a one world, two systems" scenario will be the future norm. The US-China trade conflict is changing the global supply chain, sending clients shifting orders and manufacturers relocating production lines.Taiwan must work out strategies for maintaining good relationships with all sides. He said the economy is a major concern for all of the people in Taiwan, which has long relied heavily on exports. But Taiwan must produce a new economic strategy to cope with the arrival of the IoT age that has revolutionized the industry, he said.Over 50% of Taiwan's GDP is contributed by domestic consumption, but the local market has never received the attention it deserves, and become one flooded with low-quality products, he remarked.Gou proposes that Taiwan turn itself into a "Smart IT Island." In fact, Taiwan can be a good test bed: its high-quality education, high penetration for handsets and high population density - together with its advantages in AI, 5G, 8K and semiconductor technologies - make it a perfect environment for integrating the virtual and the real, according to Gou.As long as the test bed can be well maintained, the people's digital livelihood can be enhanced, he said.(From left to right) Katerra CEO Michael E Marks, Foxconn founder Terry Gou, SoftBank chairman Masayoshi Son, and Digitimes president Colley Hwang at the G2 and Beyond forum organized by Digitimes.Photo: Shihmin Fu, Digitimes, June 2019

The mobile devices with eye-catching design always have a place in our hearts. With the stylish looks, new smartphone and other shinny mobile devices are breathtaking. Most mobile devices are battery-powered. In addition to smarter features and larger batteries, innovative charging solutions allow us to do more with our mobile devices. Users expect to have a quality charging experience, especially when the new fast charging technology enables a superior user experience.Following this trend, USB power delivery technology becomes one of the major technologies for charging devices through USB Type-C interface. With the widespread of the USB Type-C plugs and its innovative features such as data transmission, video transmission and fast charging, Type-C is getting increasingly popular. Either Apple or Android phones support this standard. Users can deliver power, data and video through the USB-C cable. But there is still common frustration with the standard varied by different power ratings to setup for different requirements of charging various devices. Furthermore, being charged by different chargers, even of the same current and voltage ratings, often does not have the same charging speeds. That's why the safety regulation and product certification are the most concerns when end customers purchase the fast charging products.In a recent interview, KK Yang, president of Energear, introduced the full product lines based on USB-C PD technologies. Energear presents three major product lines including wall chargers, car chargers and power banks. The power range is from 15 to 85 Watts. Wall charger series have the following wattage, 15, 27, 30, 46, 65 and 85 Watts. Yang highlights the 45W Power Bank that has two-way fast charging features for fast charging and recharging. There is few power bank with this feature in the market that has got the certification. Yang also mentions the 45W car charger, which can charge laptop, tablet and phones. All Energear products have certifications from USB-IF, UL, CE, RoHS and so on. They are compatible to most global brands of smartphone, tablet and laptops.Energear worked with GRL, NAC and SGS testing labs for more reliabilityThe uniqueness of Energear product series is that Energear are granted multiple product certifications from world-famous third-party testing laboratories. This is a huge investment before brands to establish a strong foothold in the market. When Energear started the cooperation with those testing labs two years ago, there were very few labs that knew how to test those USB-C PD products. This was because there were only a few USB-C PD products in the market at that time. Energear selected GRL (Granite River Labs) as the first testing partner to do the product testing. For some testing items, Energear even needed to provide the testing fixtures to GRL so that GRL could complete all the tests. It was a very time-consuming task for these testing projects, Yang adds.Through close working with the testing labs, the Energear engineering team gained more experience to refine the products before launch in the market. After passing the product certification, there is another big challenge for mass production because there are five ratings to test and debug. Although those stages are very time-consuming, it is very rewarding because quality and product performance are the priority, Yang points out.In addition to work with GRL (Granite River Labs) and NAC (National Analysis Center) lab, Energear builds an in-house test lab for compatibility and verification tests. This is an important step to help end users trust Energear products' quality and performance. Energear not only provides chargers with PD2.0 and PD3.0, but also chargers with PPS.Distributing Energear products in Japan and North AmericaAfter getting all the related product certifications, Energear selected Japan to debut. Japan has a highly competitive retail market. Energear started its first entry into the Japanese market through I-O Data Device, Inc., a leading Japanese manufacturer and provider of high-quality computer peripheral products.The market promotion activities initiated with the product roadshow across major cities in Japan. The promotion activities included product demonstration and introduction of PD technology. Yang mentions that one special promotion program getting attentions was a bundle kit of Energear 65-Watt PD charger and Panasonic Notebook PC. The promotion program went very successful. Then Energear products showcased in the market and had very good sales. The successful products of Energear in Japan market are 46W and 65W Wall Chargers. Both chargers sell very well. Customers can recognize this brand and appreciate the premium quality of the product.Regarding the North American market, Energear has different strategy to launch its products. Energear selects Amazon, the e-commerce giant in North America, to sell products to end customers directly. Energear works with a professional marketing company to promote and advertise on Amazon. Energear products can be purchased now at Amazon USA. It is expected that Energear this brand will be well-known soon and the chain stores will start to carry.Energear showcased a full range of PD products at Computex 2019 in Nangang Exhibition Hall 1. Many visitors came to the booth and they were amazed by the complete line of PD products and the certifications Energear has.
