KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 25 (Bernama) -- Concord Technologies has launched NEXTSTEP, an AI-driven, cloud-based platform optimised for healthcare providers to simplify patient data capture and document workflows.
The new platform will reduce the effort required to capture, access and integrate patient health information from paper and digital documents. The company, in a statement, said NEXSTEP’s platform is cloud-native, software-as-a-service, so it dramatically lowers the barriers to implementation and expansion. Concord has optimised NEXTSTEP for healthcare providers struggling to digitise document-intensive clinical workflows, though its core features apply across all highly-regulated industries. According to the statement, there are no upfront software or hardware costs and customers will always have the latest version of the software. It is also built on scalable cloud architecture, so users can scale up and down to manage spikes in processing volume without having to purchase additional servers. Unlike conventional systems, NEXTSTEP is pre-trained to identify, classify and extract specific, field-level data, so it saves providers the cost and effort to “teach” the system what to look for. It also extends automated document classification and routing with the ability to coordinate document handling even with frequently-changing clinical processes. “We estimate a sizeable market of providers who are being underserved by conventional document capture and automation solutions, due to the up-front costs of implementation and the ongoing resources to own them,” said John Harrison, Concord Technologies’ senior vice-president, sales & marketing. The company is a leading provider of cloud fax services and document process automation solutions. More details at www.concord.net -- BERNAMA

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 24 (Bernama) -- A.M. Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating (FSR) of B++ (Good) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating (Long-Term ICR) of ‘bbb+’ of ECICS Limited (ECICS) (Singapore).
The outlook of the Singapore-based insurance company’s Long-Term ICR has been revised to negative from stable, while the FSR outlook remains stable. Concurrently, A.M. Best has withdrawn the ratings of ECICS, as the company has requested to no longer participate in A.M. Best’s interactive rating process. The global rating agency said in a statement that the ratings reflect ECICS’ balance sheet strength – which it categorises as strong – as well as the company’s marginal operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management. The Long-Term ICR outlook revision to negative reflects A.M. Best’s concern with the heightened execution risk related to the ECICS’ plan to return to profitability by rebalancing its portfolio amid difficult market conditions.

The announcement was made by the chief executive officer of Yili Group, Zhang Jianqiu. Yili Group and Wageningen University in the Netherlands jointly established the center in 2014. Deputy secretary general of China Chamber of International Commerce, Zhang Yi said the center covered different fields, built bridges between countries and continents and integrated different cultures, which can be used to not only satisfy technological demand of the enterprises, but also directly transfer innovation of the research institute. Yi added the center can be regarded as an excellent example of non-governmental cooperation between China and foreign countries – setting a new benchmark for the development of the enterprises under the situation of world economic integration in the future. In the ‘List of World Top-20 Enterprises in the Global Dairy Industry’ issued by RABOBANK, Yili listed among the top ten in the global dairy industry and first rank in Asia for many years. Chief executive officer of Wageningen University, Fresco said: "Wageningen University is one of the best agricultural universities in the world and Yili is the biggest dairy company in Asia. “The collaboration between Wageningen University and Yili is not only beneficial for the Chinese market, but more importantly, for the global market,” added Fresco. In recent years, innovation has been regarded by Yili as the ‘core’ power for the development of the enterprise; different ways of innovation have been established for the primary, secondary and tertiary industry in the industry chain; multiple innovation institutions have been established at home and abroad for the organization structure, in order to coordinate global wisdom and plan for the future, a statement said. -- BERNAMA KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 24 (Bernama) -- Behavox, a pioneering artificial intelligence data analytics firm, will host an event focusing on the benefits of cloud adoption and its related compliance issues for the financial services industry on Sept 26 in Singapore.

SINGAPORE, Sept 24 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- The National University of Singapore (NUS) School of Computing today announced the creation of the CRYSTAL (Cryptocurrency Strategy, Techniques, and Algorithms) Centre, an academic research laboratory and think tank aiming to lead as one of the world’s foremost centres for research on blockchains. Assistant Professor Prateek Saxena and Associate Professor Keith Carter, who are from the Department of Computer Science and Department of Information Systems and Analytics at NUS Computing respectively, will co-direct the Centre. The CRYSTAL Centre, founded by NUS Computing faculty members, has a goal of providing scientific clarity in shaping technical ideas in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space. The team of experts has been responsible for several academically grounded spin-offs over the last two years in the blockchain ecosystem. The CRYSTAL Centre, located at NUS Computing, will initially comprise between 5 and 10 faculty members and several scholars working in different research sub-areas. This includes experts in program language design and verification (Asst Prof Aquinas Hobor and Asst Prof Ilya Sergey), distributed computing algorithms (Assoc Prof Haifeng Yu), security (Asst Prof Min Suk Kang and Asst Prof Prateek Saxena), and market economics (Assoc Prof Keith Carter). The Centre will conduct research on scalable consensus protocols, verification and testing techniques, privacy-preserving computation, safe programming language design, blockchain applications, fundamentals of trading cryptocurrency, analysis of cryptocurrency economics, and highly available peer-to-peer (P2P) network designs. These topics touch on many challenges that the blockchain and cryptocurrency space currently faces. “We hope to make debates in the community more scientifically-grounded.
