Singapore – Syncron, a global intelligent service lifecycle management (SLM) SaaS solutions provider for the manufacturing industry, selects global commercial software company SnapLogic, to provide best-in-class integration capabilities to customers.

This partnership with SnapLogic reflects Syncron’s commitment to enhancing its customer’s experiences and delivering tangible benefits, including reduced implementation timelines and improved returns on investment.

Through SnapLogic, Syncron is empowered to better streamline the integration process for its customers. By leveraging SnapLogic, Syncron can now provide customers with a broader range of integration capabilities, saving significant time and costs that would otherwise be incurred if it had to develop these capabilities internally.

Furthermore, Syncron users can now save more time by removing reliance on technical integration specialists, witness substantial cost savings by transferring critical data from legacy systems and retiring them, generate revenue by democratising access to information via SnapLogic’s pioneering natural language prompts, and gain a competitive edge in generating new revenue streams by streamlining processes and accelerating the creation of new products and services.

Talking about the partnership, Cole Sutter, COO of products at Syncron, said, “We’re thrilled to partner with SnapLogic. The leader in generative integration brings more than 10 years of tested and proven integration capabilities to the Syncron CSX Cloud.” 

“It’s allowed us to not only provide best-in-class integration capabilities to our customers but has also given us the ability to better utilise our partners for implementations and support. With SnapLogic, we expect to see decreased implementation time and increased ROI for our customers,” he added. 

Meanwhile, Jeremiah Stone, chief technology officer at SnapLogic, commented, “We are proud to join forces with Syncron to deliver cutting-edge generative integration capabilities that are a game-changer in the face of economic uncertainties.”

“This collaboration isn’t just about providing best-in-class integration capabilities, it’s about future-proofing businesses and enabling them to thrive in a rapidly changing digital environment. We look forward to working closely with Syncron to not only meet but exceed the expectations of their customers, driving increased ROI and decreased implementation time,” he ended. 

Singapore – Global software company Salesforce has announced the layoff of hundreds of its employees, following plans to cut costs in their operations and harsh global economic conditions.

An initial report by Protocol noted that the company plans to lay off a large number of individuals, roughly 2,000 people or more, for ‘performance’ issues.

A spokesperson for Salesforce confirmed said news to CNBC, saying “Our sales performance process drives accountability. Unfortunately, that can lead to some leaving the business, and we support them through their transition.”

Salesforce previously underwent retrenchment in August 2020, and then in January this year while they implemented a ‘hiring freeze’.

The new Salesforce employee cutbacks come after its investors are increasingly demanding a greater return, with the majority of this investment being poured into growing its business by acquiring businesses such as Slack and Tableau.

Big Tech has been struggling to cope up with losses lately, with other tech companies such as Meta, Oracle, Twitter, Snap and Netflix announcing massive layoffs as well.

Shanghai, China – Global media agency Wavemaker has launched ‘Intelligence Engine’ (WIE) within its own network, an automation software technology, which primarily aims to free its employees from repetitive yet necessary routines, allowing them to focus more on emotionally and intellectually rewarding work that cannot be handled by pre-programmed software.

Wavemaker said that with WIE can sustain its operations 24/7 without interruption, in turn eliminating human error to help the agency better serve all of its stakeholders. 

The company has been optimizing its business processes and increasing its overall capability since the technology’s first implementation, as automation modules can automate repetitive yet basic marketing tasks such as advertisement and campaign monitoring with impressive accuracy, while also being proficient in handling work that require higher levels of coordination such as invoice generation, email communications and processing.

For Henry Wang, chief product officer at Wavemaker China, they developed the software to help their employees, partners, and clients to release more energy to push boundaries, to transform the work they do, and the future value they provoke.

“With the help of our Intelligence Engine, every passionate Wavemaker comes together more often to strengthen our collaboration and provoke ever more innovative solutions for our clients. Also, we hope this technology can help future-proof our business and support our goal to achieve better sustainability in human resources and finance functions,” Wang stated.

The software enables Wavemaker to channel more individual time and energy to performing creative tasks and generating additional value for both the company as well as its clients – something that is of vital importance for a media agency. The newly released potentials, in turn, creates considerable space for further staff talent development.
