Durrianar By SQ is a skincare formulated with extensive research information of the much-loved local fruit, which has substantial potential to be commercially diversified to add value to the fruit and to be exported as international product.

Mr. Nopparut Thanapattarachaitat, Managing Director of Tip Surat Company Limited, founder of Durrianar By SQ, enthuses that the company has launched Durrianar By SQ with skincare benefits from durian, the king of Thai fruits and the country’s famed best-selling economic crop. Durrianar By SQ is a skincare formulated with extensive research information of the much-loved local fruit, which has substantial potential to be commercially diversified to add value to the fruit and to be exported as international product.

“I’m from Rayong province, where durian is our local pride, and I saw the potential of durian to be diversified into many different products. We did some research and found that durian has more than just nutritious benefits that we can get as fresh or processed fruit, food or snacks,” Mr. Nopparut says.

The research shows that durian is packed with benefits for the skin, especially bioactive compounds that act as antioxidant agents to combat skin ageing signs. Durian extracts are incorporated in high quality skincare that aims to benefit and care for all skin types.

“It all started late 2018 when I had the idea of using durian extract in skincare. I then reached out to Asst. Prof. Dr. Jiraporn Tongtan from Suan Dusit University to help conduct a primary study of durian extract’s antioxidant properties to set the direction of our skincare production. We are now applying for patent and research funding to expand the study and properly regulate the extract for consumers’ safety,” Mr. Nopparut says.

Fusing the benefit of durian extract, the company earlier launched face masks under the brand Durrianar By SQ early in 2019 through online channel, following by a launch roadshow in China which proved to be well-received by the Chinese consumers. It was only natural then at Durrianar By SQ should have more products added to the brand.

Using advanced technology and cosmetic science know-how to transform the king of fruit to the queen of beauty. The extract is harvested from durian young shoots which are cold pressed to preserve the bioactive property which is the essence of Durrianar By SQ. Another key highlight of the product is its unique fragrance of durian flower – not durian fruit – which is currently under further studies to add more value to the fruit.

Durrianar By SQ uses durian young shoots from organic durian farm in Rayong, which is overseen by young smart farmers. Every step of the plantation uses machines and technology and less manpower and chemicals to ensure high quality and safety, making the durian young shoots from the farm most suitable for Durrianar By SQ skincare.

Mr. Nopparut also adds that Durrianar By SQ now offers 7 products across 3 lines: Age Care Cream that prevents ageing signs, moisturizes and restores dull skin; Whitening Cream that naturally brightens; and Anti-acne that reduces acne and redness from acne. All Durrianar By SQ products are “jelly mask” lightweight night cream that deeply moisturizes during the night, ideal for daily use without having to rinse off.

Popular products from Durrianar By SQ include “Golden Durian Facial Mask” and water solution, alcohol-free 3-in-1 facial cleansing “Extra Gentle H2O Cleansing” that delicately and thoroughly cleanse eyes, lips and face for all skin types. Durrianar By SQ also looks to launch more products in the future.

“We want to offer skincare products for evert age group. Anti-acne aims for teenagers with acne problems, while Whitening Cream targets 30+ consumers who can also benefit from our Age Care Cream. I see the growth potential of skincare market, and I am confident that the story of Durrianar By SQ will grab attention of skincare lovers and draw their interests to skincare brand with durian extract by Thai people, and so far is the first and only brand of its kind to be distributed internationally,” Mr. Nopparut says.

In Thailand, Durrianar By SQ is currently available via popular online channels such as Shopee, JC Central and soon at Lazada. Consumers can also purchase Durrianar By SQ via https://www.facebook.com/DurrianarTH/. Durrianar By SQ has been available at King Power since 2020 and has since become a channel where international consumers know the brand from.

“Durrianar By SQ started off with international market with distribution in Kin Power and launch activations in China. We also see the potential in the Thai market, especially with the e-commerce channel that has grown exponentially this year. We are pushing our products more via online shopping channels and looking to repackage our products to appeal more to Thai consumers,” Mr. Nopparut says.

Durrianar By SQ has registered its trademark in Thailand and more than 10 other countries, including China as well as Thailand’s neighboring countries like Myanmar and Laos. In China, Durrianar By SQ has been distributing through http://www.tmall.com by Alibaba, which is one of China’s largest e-commerce channel, since July 2021. The company sees much more potential in the Chinese market, mainly because durian is already popular among Chinese consumers.

For this year-end, the company is planning to penetrate Vietnamese market, and negotiation is currently underway with Vietnamese partners. Durrianar By SQ is also set to expand to other countries in ASEAN with the same approach, i.e. through local partners that understand the market and consumers’ behaviors.

“People in ASEAN love durian, and we take this opportunity to introduce Durrianar By SQ in this market because the consumers are already familiar with the fruit. Our future plan is to build Durrianar By SQ as an international brand and promote Thailand to the world,” Mr. Nopparut concludes.

SiriHub Investment Token will be Thailand’s role model for asset-backed tokenization that will transform the Thai capital market. XSpring Digital has worked closely with partners and regulators to create attractive and compliant investment opportunities that will re-assure all investors.

• XSpring Digital declares that the SiriHub Investment Token, which allows people from all levels of society to invest in Thailand’s first real estate-backed ICO, is attracting strong attention from investors. This real estate-backed token has the Siri Campus Office Building, where the headquarters of Sansiri Public Company Limited (SIRI) is located, as its underlying asset.

• As per the asset valuation reports from the appraisers, the value of the “Siri Campus” will likely rise from THB2.4 Billion to THB2.6 Billion the next four years and that will affect higher revenue sharing of SiriHubB token holders, thanks to the analysis report that Sukhumvit land prices have great potential to increase at a rate of around 10%.

• With high Returns on Investment (ROIs) that are far above current bank deposit interest rates and a minimum investment of only THB10, many XSpring application downloads have currently exceeded their expected target ahead of the first day of subscription on September 21, 2021, from 00.01 AM.

• All investors are recommended to download the XSpring application to their mobile devices to verify their identity, and thus ensure that they can subscribe to the digital tokens on the day of the opening sale and transfer funds immediately via the app. In addition, XSpring Digital is collaborating with ERX Company Limited (ERX) in the distribution of SiriHub Tokens. ERX has outsourced its sales functions to four leading securities companies in Thailand – KTBST SEC, Finansia Syrus Securities, Krungthai Zmico Securities, and Asia Plus Securities, to support sales.

Mr. Att Tongyai Asavanund, Chief Executive Officer of XSpring Digital Company Limited, a subsidiary of XSpring Capital Public Company Limited (XPG), said: “The success of XSpring Digital to launch the SiriHub Investment Token, which represents Thailand’s first real estate-backed ICO, is aligned with the XPG’s vision to offer a comprehensive ecosystem for investment in digital finance for Thai investors. This real estate-backed token has the Siri Campus Office Building, where the headquarters of Sansiri Public Company Limited is located, as its underlying asset. It is a new investment model that uses digital technology to connect the capital market world. Its main goal is to provide opportunities for investors at all levels of society to access high-value real-estate investments. It does this by allowing investors to invest even with a small amount in that we offer a minimum subscription price of only THB10 per token. Through such a small outlay, investors are provided with quarterly returns over four years for a much higher return than current bank deposit rates.”

XSpring Digital is delighted to see SiriHub Token attract strong attention A big wave of investors

“The SiriHub Investment Token will be Thailand’s role model for asset-backed tokenization that will transform the Thai capital market. XSpring Digital has worked closely with partners and regulators to create attractive and compliant investment opportunities that will re-assure all investors. Currently, the number of people to have already registered via the XSpring App to prepare for the subscription day on September 21 has exceeded our expectations.”

The SiriHub Investment Token is the first real estate-backed ICO to have obtained approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand (SEC). The initial offer price is THB10 per token. A limit of 240 million tokens is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. The total to be raised is THB2.4 Billion.

Investors can choose between two tranches of the SiriHub Investment Token:

1) SiriHubA offers 160 Million tokens valued at THB1.6 Billion. Holders of SiriHubA will receive their returns from a quarterly revenue share of up to 4.5% per year and revenue sharing from the sale of the property after the project’s end, all of which will not be more than THB1.6 billion.

2) SiriHubB offers 80 Million tokens valued at 800 Million Baht. Holders of SiriHubB will receive returns from a quarterly revenue share of up to 8.0% per year and revenue sharing from the sale of the property after the project’s end, from the surplus of THB1.6 billion.

One of the highlights of this real estate-backed token is that the investment is within a single asset. This way, investors will be able to know the project they are investing in full detail as specified in the white paper, unlike investments in such vehicles as Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), in which the assets in the fund can be changed. Funds raised from the SiriHub Token issuance will be used to secure the Revenue Sharing from the rental income of Siri Campus Office Building and to also acquire the rights to be the Asset via shares of Siripat Four Company Limited. Located within T77, a lifestyle community in a prime location of the Sukhumvit area. The Siri Campus Office Building is the headquarters of Sansiri Public Company Limited (Sansiri PCL, SIRI), which is the sole tenant for the 100% area. With the long-term lease of 12 years, investors are assured that the project will receive continued revenues from the rental fee from Sansiri PCL throughout the four-year project period where the income after expenses will be arranged as quarterly revenue sharing distributed to token holders. Within 12 months prior to the end of the project, the token issuer will also arrange disposal of the assets in order to distribute profit sharing from net-asset-sale proceeds as the final portion of revenue to token holders.

As per the asset valuation reports from appraisers approved by the SEC, the value of the Siri Campus Project will likely rise to THB2.6 billion in the next four years in accordance with an analysis by the Agency for Real Estate Affairs (AREA) that reports the summary of changes in land prices in the vicinity of the On Nut BTS Station, which is near the Siri Campus. In 2021, the average price of land in the area was THB1.1 Million per square wah (4 square meters) and the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) has increased from 2015 to 2021 at a rate of around 10% per annum. This shows that the property’s location has great potential and relatively high growth prospects in the future.

In addition to the ease of accessing this investment platform, Mr. Asavanund went on to explain the many inherent safeguards employed by XSpring Digital in its investment system.

“The Sirihub Token has a mechanism to fully protect investors. XSpring Digital is the ICO portal, certified by the SEC, and there is protection provided under the trust and trustee structure. The SiriHub Investment Token offering runs on the Tezos blockchain system, the world’s most advanced blockchain technology developed to support digital fundraising with a real-estate-backed ICO. The blockchain provides greater security in accordance with Anti-Money-Laundering/Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) measures using three high-security features:

1. Know Your Customer (KYC) standards. Only approved registrants can be put on the white lists to trade the digital tokens.

2. The system also has real-time Clawback: This is a feature for returning stolen tokens to the token holder’s wallet.

3. Private Capitalization Table (Cap Table): Personal information will not be listed so as to protect the privacy of token holders but the issuer will have the ability to know in real time who owns the tokens similar to a share registry.

For the process of subscription and trading of the SiriHub Investment Token, a total of 240 million tokens will be initially offered at THB10 per token, which divides into a 160-million-token offering of SiriHubA and an 80-million-token offering of SiriHubB. The subscription period will run between September 21 and October 4, 2021. Investors can subscribe 24/7 on their mobile devices. In addition, XSpring Digital is collaborating with ERX Company Limited in the distribution of SiriHub Tokens. ERX has outsourced its sales functions to four leading securities companies in Thailand – KTBST Securities, Finansia Syrus Securities, Krungthai Zmico Securities, and Asia Plus Securities – to support the sale of SiriHub Tokens.

Upon completion of the subscription and the distribution of tokens to investors, the tokens are targeted to trade from October 12, 2021 in the secondary market through ERX, the first digital asset exchange focused on digital token trading licensed by Thailand’s Ministry of Finance and regulated by the SEC.

XSpring Digital is undergoing discussions with more than 10 clients who are interested to raise funds from tokenization in sectors such as real estate, tourism, and entertainment. At present, we are in the process of studying the possibilities afforded by tokenization, the types of tokens, and the protection mechanisms available so that our efforts attain the greatest benefits for both token issuers and investors.

Mr. Asavanund concluded: “An Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is a key alternative fund-raising method in the digital era – the SEC also supports the adoption of such technology in the capital market. It is an investment suitable for the public and new investors, as well as all major and institutional investors. It is an accessible new opportunity. We are grateful that the SEC has approved the trading of SiriHub Investment Tokens, so we believe these vehicles offer a valuable new dimension to the investment market in Thailand. This new investment is in projects with the high economic growth potential. Investors can conveniently transact via their mobile devices, 24 hours a day, through the XSpring application. Anyone can start to learn about investing in the digital finance world, which will play a key role in our lives.”

Investors interested in investing can learn about investment options and should open an account, verify their identity, and take the Investor Knowledge Test in advance to prepare for the subscription. Investors can download the XSpring apps on both iOS and Android. This will save time and allow investors to complete their subscriptions quickly, conveniently, and securely. The subscription period runs from September 21, 2021 at 00:01 am to October 4, 2021 at 3:30 pm.

On the subscription day, investors who have already opened an account, verified their identities and completed all the required steps, will be able to subscribe to SiriHub Investment Token and complete their purchases using the following process:

• Click on the SiriHub Investment Token project link.

• Read and study the project details.

• Choose the token and amount of investment to subscribe for each token. The system will automatically calculate the number of tokens as per the amount paid.

• Investors have to pay the full amount of investment at the cost THB10 for each token.

• The digital tokens are allocated following successful payment on a first-come, first-served basis

• After the full amount is paid and confirmation is received, investors will receive an email to inform them that their subscription is complete.

Investors will know the allocation of purchased tokens via email after the closing date of the subscription period. Tokens will be distributed to the wallets of investors who have registered and opened accounts with ERX in advance.

ERX has outsourced its sale functions to 4 leading brokers: KTBST SEC, Finansia Syrus Securities, Krungthai Zmico Securities, and Asia Plus Securities, to support the sales of SiriHub Tokens.

Mr. Rathian Srimongkol, Chairman of XSpring Capital Public Company Limited (XPG), said: “XSpring Digital’s success in the launch of its SiriHub Token, Thailand’s first real estate-backed ICO, is an important step by XSpring Group to enable investors to access new investment innovations and is part of our commitment to develop a digital investment platform and create a financial services business ecosystem to connect the current financial world with the digital financial world. Such a ‘Digital Financial Service’, puts the group at the vanguard of being a complete, fully integrated financial services provider and will enable everyone to access the financial and investment world easily and cost-effectively.”

Mr. Att Tongyai Asavanund, Chief Executive Officer, XSpring Digital Company Limited, the company that has received approval from the SEC as a service provider for offering digital tokens in Thailand (as an ICO portal operator), said that the “SiriHub Investment Token is a new investment model that uses digital technology to connect elements of the capital market world. Its main goal is to provide opportunities for investors at all levels of society to access high-value real estate investments. It essentially broadens access as such investors can invest even with a small amount. We offer a minimum subscription price of only THB10 per token and provide investors with quarterly returns over four years at a much higher rate of return than current bank deposit rates. This is so that both the public and new investors interested in preserving and expanding their wealth, as well as all institutional investors, have equal access to the opportunity of understanding and investing in digital assets.”

Investors can choose to invest in either of the SiriHub Investment Token offerings, SiriHubA or SiriHubB. SiriHubA provides a quarterly return of up to 4.5% per year, while SiriHubB offers a quarterly return of up to 8.0% per year.

SiriHubB holders will obtain the final income from the sale of the property project that exceeds THB1.6 billion.

SiriHub Investment Tokens are based on the pending revenue stream from the Siri Campus Project, a modern mixed-use office building complex located within T77, a lifestyle community in the heart of Bangkok’s On Nut area, which has Sansiri Public Company Limited as the only tenant to have leased 100% of the space in the building under a long-term lease for up to 12 years. This means the project will have dependable and continuous income throughout the four-year project period. Analysis of the market value of both the Siri Campus land and building by the appraiser and approved by the SEC in two cases, puts the campus value at THB2.4 billion and it is predicted that in the next 10 years, the market value of this project could rise to as high as THB3.2 billion.

“We are confident that the SiriHub Token offering will receive an enthusiastic response from investors. The ICO price is interesting considering the fundamental factors of the asset and relates to the project Siri Campus, which has potential for continuous income and investor protection mechanisms at every step. Currently, XSpring Digital is finalizing steps for prospective subscribers to register and access the XSpring application with ease. Interested investors can register in advance starting today to save time when the subscription opens and will allay any ‘fear of missing out’ as subscriptions will open on a first come, first served basis with a limited token offering,” Att Thongyai concluded.

Industry leaders unpack the future of travel, meeting and events at Marriott Internationals first major hybrid event across asia pacific

---

Marriott International together with industry leaders discussed future trends at its first hybrid event in Asia Pacific

With grounds for optimism over travel rebound, Marriott International together with industry leaders discussed future trends at its first hybrid event in Asia Pacific – “Be There with Marriott International – The Path Forward for Travel and Events”. The event, attended in early September by more than 1,100 in-person and virtual travel industry professionals across Asia Pacific, featured a lively panel discussion on the emerging trends and demands in meetings and events, changing business travel policies, luxury travel, and consumer behavior in a post-pandemic era. These key trends emerged:

Customer experience is still key

Cleanliness remains the top priority for many consumers, and expectations around safety and hygiene have increased dramatically as part of the customer experience. Social distancing, facemasks and hand sanitizers are expected essentials. Marriott International offers event organizers tips on setting up events in the new normal through the company’s ‘Connect with Confidence’ commitment.

In-person human interaction more powerful than ever

There has been a rapid adoption of technology and digitalization across the MICE industry. Although virtual events were the norm at the peak of the pandemic, 47% of respondents surveyed post-event said that more than half of their events next year will be offline. Hybrid events, which combine live interactions and the convenience of going digital, are expected to become the de facto meeting format.

Planning events in the ‘new normal’ has taught Industry leaders to keep testing, thinking, assessing and learning, so they can be nimble and change what is not working. MICE industry leaders must recognize the importance and power of face-to-face meetings complemented by hybrid technology in bringing out the human experience and connection.

Ramesh Daryanani, Vice President, Global Sales, Marriott International Asia Pacific says, “We need to strike a balance between technology, reach and engagement. When hosting hybrid events, the platform is not the most important—instead, the desired outcome and the value that human connection brings is. Marriott’s hybrid solutions will continue to evolve, but there is no doubt that nothing replaces the power of face-to-face meetings.”

As borders reopen, customers will seek events that are more intimate; and the networking that comes with these events will also be prioritized given many lost connections over the pandemic.

Wellness is the new luxury

The pandemic gave travelers an opportunity to think about rebooting travel for the better. Wellness travel, associated with the pursuit of enhancing personal well-being, is driving demand for weekend anti-stress getaways, hidden all-inclusive resort stays, spiritual retreats and off-the-beaten-track emerging destinations.

According to a survey conducted by Marriott International, 3 in 4 travelers surveyed indicated the desire to travel to relieve stress. There is a higher demand for slow travel, where people are slowing down and visiting just one place, taking their time to get familiar with the destination and its surroundings and culture, rather than a fleeting visit. Industry leaders should adapt to these rising trends and curate experiences that cater to changing market demands. Marriott Bonvoy’s Westin and JW Marriott are two brands that feature programs that allow guests to maintain their wellness practices while on the road. The recently launched pilot of Good Travel with Marriott Bonvoy is another example of a program where guests have the opportunity to connect with local communities to create a lasting positive impact.

In partnership with technology partner, NowEvents, the hybrid event took place in Renaissance Hong Kong Harbour View Hotel, The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore and JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa. The in-person events saw the use of technology where panelists appeared to be in the same room even though in different locations. Moderated by Karen Bolinger, Strategic Business Consultant, PCMA Asia Pacific, the panelists included:

· Andy Winchester (HK) – APAC Travel Manager, Bloomberg;

· Anna Patterson (SG) – Vice President & Managing Director, George P Johnson Singapore;

· Bart Buiring (HK) – Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, Marriott International;

· Charlotte Harris (HK) – Managing Director, Charlotte Travel Hong Kong;

· Kenji Soh (SG) – Executive Director, Head of Asia Pacific Travel, Goldman Sachs;

· Oscar Cerezales (SG), Chief Strategy Officer, MCI Group

Narrowing the Digital Divide in ASEAN: Infrastructure, Skills and Opportunities

---

The ASEAN Digital Masterplan 2025 envisions ASEAN as a “leading digital community and economic bloc” – a bold plan that demands effective investments in infrastructure and skills.

The Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA) organised the webinar, “Investing in Digital Infrastructure: Narrowing the Digital Divide in ASEAN”. Moderated by Mr Satyanarayan Ramamurthy, Partner and Head of Infrastructure, Government and Healthcare with KPMG Singapore, and SIIA Associate Council Member, the webinar featured Dr. Le Quang Lan, Assistant Director, Head of the ICT & Tourism Division, ASEAN Secretariat, and Mr. Andrew Williamson, Vice President and Economic Advisor of Government Affairs, Huawei.

Governments need to ensure equitable digital transformation

As the adoption of digitalisation increase, ASEAN governments have been pressured to develop digital infrastructure. Yet in the process, Dr Lan emphasised that millions of people, particularly the less digitally-enabled, may be excluded from affordable services and relevant content. Mr Williamson stated that businesses must adapt, they would either “go digital or go dark”. To prevent large-scale inequalities, governments have to encourage private sector investments in rural areas too.

“In a contactless world, the vast majority of interactions with customers and employees must take place virtually. With rare exception, operating digitally is the only way to stay in business through mandated shutdowns and restricted activity,” said Williamson.

Unfortunately, telecommunications infrastructure is too costly to establish in far-flung regions. Rural residents and small businesses also lack the readiness to create economic value after being connected. A holistic approach is essential for equitable and effective results. Local governments would need to incentivise the private sector to digitally onboard the entire nation, promote the innovation of cost-effective digital solutions, and also raise public digital literacy and awareness.

ASEAN as a source of guidance for comprehensive and rationale policies

ASEAN’s importance lies in knowledge-sharing and shaping legal frameworks. The regional bloc collates and disseminates best practices across the region. The Digital Masterplan 2025 is an example of the bloc is assisting less-digitalised economies on issues including, but not limited to strengthening rural connectivity, coordinating cross-border data flows, and adopting new (Industrial Revolution 4.0) technologies. Attention is particularly directed to scaling up Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs); ultimately providing affordable services to rural, urban and international consumers. Mr Williamson highlighted that the region has promising unicorns, so retaining digital talent would also be a priority.

A concern, however, is underlying geopolitical tensions. Both Dr Lan and Mr Williamson warned against the bifurcation of digital and IR 4.0 technologies. Sino-American tensions have deepened techno-nationalism, which only results in losses to all parties involved. Countries are cautioned against decisions based on political motivations. Dr Lan affirms that “ASEAN very much abides by the principle of technology neutrality…we [ASEAN] shall not prevent [the adoption] of one technology over another.” This principle will play a key role in developing a common standard that can maintain global value chains while sustaining regional business development.

Private sector innovation critical to realising the visions of a digital economy

Based on a historical example of the optimisation of internal combustion engines in the 19th century, Mr Williamson illustrated that the world is at the brink of revolutionising new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and machine-learning. This is an opportunity for ASEAN to lead, innovate and dramatically reduce digital infrastructure costs. Bigger players with rich resources like Huawei would need to be the first movers. Major companies can, and have already been, partnering with governments in producing training and upskilling programmes. Whether it be young students, small enterprises, women or mid-career switching talents, public-private collaborations would be beneficial in creating an attractive and diverse digital talent pool. The end goal is a robust and productive digital ecosystem that boosts the entire private sector, including MSMEs.

Involving all stakeholders is key to an inclusive digital community

ASEAN is a diverse region; each country’s digital strategy has a different level of maturity. It is crucial that the initiatives take advantage of the stakeholder’s capabilities, while also accounting for their needs. With an internet economy set to reach US$300 billion in 2025, more opportunities would arise. As a member of ASEAN and a key hub in the region, Singapore’s interests are tied to this ongoing transformation.

Bangkok Metropolitan Administration Deploys Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer to Deliver More Efficient Public Services to Residents

---

• Helps Bangkok Metropolitan Administration consolidate its IT infrastructure and accelerate the journey toward a digital government • BMA gains the simplicity, flexibility and affordability of the cloud in its own data center

Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), the local adminstrative authority of the city of Bangkok, responsible for the well-being of the city’s 11 million residents, has adopted Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer to help fulfill its plans of becoming a Digital Government. With Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer, a fully managed cloud database service deployed in its own data center, BMA has been able to consolidate its IT infrastructure and, as a result, improve the delivery of services to the residents of Bankok.

Suthathip Soniam, Director – General Strategy and Evalution Department,BMA said, “The citizens of Thailand are becoming increasingly digital-savvy and the Thai government recognizes the importance of keeping up with this trend to deliver digital services. As we accelerate our journey toward becoming a true Digital Government, in line with the Government of Thailand’s vision of Thailand 4.0, it is essential that we put in place a foundation that enables us to focus more on innovation instead of maintenance and operations. Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer is helping us to accomplish exactly that.”

BMA today manages 50 district offices across the city, which between them run 40 different Oracle Databases, resulting in a range of disparate and siloed data sources. This prevents management and staff from having a single and consolidated point-of-view of data across the organization, hindering the efficient delivery of services to residents.

“With the implementation of Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer as our primary IT platform for all of the key applications running our operations, we can be able to provide more mobile-friendly services to residents. Having one single, integrated cloud platform can help us gain data-driven insights. Additionally, higher system efficiency and speed in collecting and analyzing information can help reduce the wait time to be served and citizens’ service requests or inquiries can be attended to in a shorter time than ever before,” continued, Suthathip said

With Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer, BMA has been able to move its existing Oracle Databases quickly to the cloud as it provides full compatibility with the organisation’s existing Exadata systems. It also delivers higher database performance, consolidation, and scaling than any other on-premises database cloud service. As a result, BMA can now run its applications faster and at a lower cost, and leverage the autonomous operations, and low-cost subscription pricing of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

Additionally, Exadata Cloud@Customer delivers the world’s most advanced database cloud service to customers who require their databases to be located on-premises behind their own data center’s firewall, ensuring BMA remains in complete control of its data and addresses data sovereignty, security and latency concerns effectively.

Taweesak Saengthong Managing Director of Oracle Corporation (Thailand) Co., Ltd. added, “Just like the private sector, today’s public agencies have an exponential amount of data and workloads which are continuing to grow dramatically. To obtain the agility, flexibility and price-performance to meet their needs, moving to the cloud is clear. However, this can be challenging for organisations such as highly regulated government agencies where data sovereignty and security can be a concern—or certain workloads that require an on-premises environment. Exadata Cloud@Customer empowers these organisations to embrace the benefits of cloud and focus on driving innovation while keeping all database information secure in their own data center.”
