MSB, Backbase and SmartOSC announce partnership in signing ceremonyHANOI, VIETNAM - Media OutReach Newswire - 15 November 2024 - Backbase, creator of the Engagement Banking Platform, today announces that Maritime Commercial Joint Stock Bank (MSB), has made a strategic investment in the Backbase Engagement Banking Platform, with local implementation support from Backbase’s partner, SmartOSC, a premium digital enabler. This milestone marks a pivotal step in MSB’s journey toward customer-centric modernization, advancing its digital factory, and delivering seamless experiences that drive financial innovation in Vietnam. As one of the pioneering banks implementing digital transformation in the market, MSB aims to become a bank with a leading digital platform with the best customer service experience. Building on a robust digitalization strategy, MSB has transformed its offerings to bring streamlined, accessible financial solutions to both individual and corporate customers. MSB is currently serving 5.5 million customers. By adopting the Backbase Engagement Banking Platform, MSB is unifying its in-house applications onto a best-of-suite anchor platform. This strategic shift enables MSB’s digital factory to deliver a seamless, end-to-end digital banking experience by building on the platform—from onboarding and daily transactions to product holding—enhancing customer engagement, simplifying product bundling, accelerating unique feature development, and reducing cost-to-serve for MSB’s 5.4 million retail and 100,000 enterprise customers. MSB’s goal is for the platform to enable an omnichannel, frictionless banking journey that elevates the modern customer experience. “At MSB, we are advancing our digital factory by combining the strengths of Backbase's Engagement Banking Platform with our in-house developments, gaining refreshing flexibility to seamlessly integrate and elevate our existing capabilities,” said Mr Nguyen Hoang Linh, CEO of MSB. “Through this platform, we will unify, modernize, and launch our retail and business banking channels on a single platform within the next 12 months, achieving the speed, agility, and control needed to scale differentiated customer experiences. This investment aims to lower our cost-income ratio by 8%, reduce cost-to-serve by 30% through frictionless onboarding-to-usage journeys, and increase our CSAT scores to 93 for retail and 85 for enterprise banking." With the platform as its foundation, MSB can unify and streamline customer journeys, significantly reducing time-to-market and delivering seamless, high-impact banking experiences that set new benchmarks in Vietnam’s financial landscape. Its flexible architecture empowers MSB to develop a unique technology ecosystem, integrating seamlessly with other platforms to drive even greater synergy and innovation. MSB estimates a 30% increase in active digital customers and a 20% - 40% increase per year in digital acquisition by delivering end-to-end digitalized experiences after launching the platform. “Rather than uproot and restart, the ‘adopt and build’ approach enables MSB to reinvent their existing channels and apps, upskill their digital factory, and empower in-house talent to unlock new efficiencies and innovation,” said Mr Riddhi Dutta, Regional Vice President, Asia of Backbase. “Backbase provides a strategic architecture that complements and amplifies MSB’s current efforts, fostering growth without disrupting the valuable work already in place. This approach ensures business continuity while advancing their digital transformation on their own terms, driving progress in a way that aligns with their established processes.” SmartOSC will play a key role in localizing the Backbase platform to meet MSB’s specific needs, ensuring seamless alignment with local expectations and regulatory requirements. With their experienced resource and deep knowledge of Vietnam’s financial sector, SmartOSC is well-positioned to help MSB achieve its goal of launching both retail and business banking channels within a year. This partnership highlights the importance of local expertise in the digital transformation process, ensuring a smooth and timely deployment that maximizes the benefits of the platform. “We’re thrilled to be the implementation partner for this project. Our goal is to make this collaboration between MSB, Backbase, and SmartOSC a leading example of technology that empowers human ingenuity,” said Mr. Chi Hieu Nguyen, Co-Founder & Chairman of SmartOSC. “Today’s customers expect seamless, omnichannel experiences, not just multichannel interactions. Banks must bridge this gap and constantly innovate in the digital realm to drive growth and engagement. Using Backbase’s Engagement Banking Platform, we’re confident in delivering this project on time and supporting MSB’s mission to become ‘a bank everyone wants to join and no one wants to leave’ by leveraging technology to meet clients wherever they are and serve them precisely how they prefer.” With this investment, MSB aims to enhance key performance indicators aligned with its five-year strategic plan including increasing omnichannel acquisition by 10-20% through end-to-end digital journeys, growing digitally active customers to 20% for retail and 23% for enterprise banking, and ensuring 60% of retail and 40% of enterprise banking customers are acquired digitally. The adoption of the Engagement Banking Platform is designed to help MSB reach these milestones and solidify its goal of becoming the most customer-connected and profitable bank in Vietnam.

SHANGHAI, Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On October 9-10, EPG Group made its second consecutive appearance at the 2024 Data Centre World Asia (Singapore Data Centre Exhibition) after making a successful debut at last year's exhibition. During the exhibition, EPG showcased its advanced liquid cooling system developed for AIDC, as well as several prefabricated (modular) solutions for IDC&AIDC construction. EPG, a leading AI infrastructure service provider, an integrated enterprise that combines R&D, manufacturing, and services of prefabricated data centers, is gradually gaining prominence in the data center industry, redefining the future with its innovative products. Alick Wan, the chairman and CEO of EPG, with exceptional foresight and courage, has spent nearly three decades, building his own business empire from the ground up. From Small County to Nationwide Wan was born in Jinhu County, a small city in northern Jiangsu surrounded by lakes. Rivers and streams were where Wan spent his childhood at. From an early age, he understood the deceptive power of water – serene yet forceful. These early experiences shaped his calm demeanor and resilient spirit. In 1997, six years after graduating from college, Wan founded his first company. As a first-time entrepreneur, he chose the electromechanical equipment industry, leveraging his familiarity with the sector. Wan always had an international vision and an open mindset for his business, and was intent on spotting new opportunities in the market. He established joint ventures with business partners from Singapore and Hong Kong, China, which gave him access to business opportunities from large multinational engineering companies. After participating in projects in more than 60 countries worldwide, his company gradually emerged in the power system segment, accumulating considerable influence. In 2004, to realize the bigger blueprint in his mind, Wan decided to start his next business chapter. That year, he founded EPG. Engine, Power, and Generate Wan says that the company's name, "EPG," stands for Engine, Power, and Generate, symbolizing the company's mission to serve as a powerful engine that drives significant advancements in society. "In the past, building data centers in China followed the mindset of constructing buildings" said Wan. "However, the ever-growing trend of data centers also faced growing pains—high costs, being time consuming, and not to mention higher energy consumption and more water consumption, which not only increased their costs but also had more negative environmental impacts." Wan then sensed a "green trend" and the market demand behind it. To this end, EPG developed a green data center construction solution: Besides conventional renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, microgrid technology can provide a more stable and diverse combination of renewable energy. In addition, cold plate liquid cooling's internal circulation and dry cooler's external circulation can cool high-power AI servers, significantly reducing data centers' water consumption. Amid the trends of green energy conservation and efficient standardization, the construction method of data centers has also undergone tremendous changes, shifting away from the traditional civil engineering approach to a "Lego-like" one. The fully prefabricated modular data center solution overcomes the downsides of traditional data center construction. It redesigns and optimizes the distribution of computer rooms, power generators, and other modules, concentrating them in cabins. For clients, these cabins serve as ready-to-use "building blocks" that can be flexibly combined into a data center based on different client needs. Overseas, this new construction method can shorten the delivery cycle of traditional data centers from 24 to 36 months to 9 to 12 months. At the same time, prefabricated data centers can reduce the total construction cost of overseas projects by 30 to 50%. Growing with AI, EPG Explores Globalization Path In recent years, the field of AI has ushered in a surging wave of development. Wan quickly seized these new development opportunities. "The development of AI will promote the development of chip and server technologies, bringing disruptive challenges to data center construction, and we need to make fast moves too," Wan said, expressing his views on the AI market, "AI is a large-scale, fast-growing industry, expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 36.6% from 2024 to 2030. On the other hand, AI is also a highly globalized industry, requiring a global perspective and execution for almost all business aspects." Wan said. Wan firmly believes that only by entering the most frontier markets and mastering first-hand information can the best business decisions be made. Therefore, EPG's globalization blueprint is unfolding. In recent years, EPG has extended its business to the Southeast Asian region and established a Southeast Asian subsidiary. Wan stated that the demand for cloud services, artificial intelligence (including AIGC and AGI.), and the Internet of Things (IoT) is continuously growing in the region. At the same time, public and private organizations, as well as multinational companies, are actively investing in IDC (Internet Data Centers) and AIDC (Artificial Intelligence Data Centers) in Southeast Asian countries. Wan believes that the Southeast Asian market is the next growth point for EPG to seek business breakthroughs. "We have invested in factories in the Southeast Asian region and have attracted many talents to join, aiming to create a more localized business development model," Wan said, "In addition, EPG is also actively exploring data center markets in Europe, America, and other global regions. In the future, we will use Southeast Asia as a bridgehead to integrate and optimize the supply chain ecosystem and create data center products and solutions with global competitiveness." Currently, EPG has strong R&D and manufacturing capabilities overseas, as well as a strong sales network. As the only prefabricated service provider with self-built factories both domestically and internationally, EPG's footprint has covered markets in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, UAE, Spain, and the United States, and is gradually exploring multiple emerging markets. In 2023, Wan enrolled in CKGSB (Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business), and after completing his studies in 2024, he signed up for the fifth session of the ASEAN-RCEP Leaders Program at CKGSB. As the enterprise enters a new stage of development, he recognizes the need to continuously be on a learning journey, so in order to successfully meet the challenges of today and tomorrow About EPG Group EPG Group is a leading manufacturing company specializing in prefabricated (modular) data center products. With a robust R&D team based in Shanghai, our high-end manufacturing plants in Shanghai and Malaysia, and a significant presence across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and the United States, we are at the forefront of innovation in the data center and power systems industry.
