Transform and Go Beyond for a Better Hong Kong
Transform and Go Beyond for a Better Hong Kong
Digital Transformation (DX) is gaining momentum worldwide. But is DX really helping your business to innovate?
In a world of constant change, DX is no longer enough. In Hong Kong, where employees seek a hybrid working model, the supply chain is volatile, and stakeholders demand sustainability, enterprises must Transform and Go Beyond.
Technology is just a tool. To build a better Hong Kong, enterprises must change both the way people work and businesses operate. By embracing Smart Workstyle—a concept that comprises 3 technology enablers for DX including Hyperautomation, Total Experience, and Cybersecurity Mesh—enterprises can accelerate business success and propel innovation.

Building Trusted Connections with Cybersecurity Mesh
Trust is the foundation of all digital businesses. With the rising number of digital channels to connect with customers and the workforce through multiple end-point devices, businesses are increasing their exposure to cyberattacks.
There are multiple cybersecurity products in the market tackling different challenges. From protecting the network and enforcing access management to enabling cloud security and detecting web application vulnerabilities, these products remain to work in silos and independently. An AI-powered security framework goes beyond fragmented security to establish trusted digital connections in this new digital world.

Jenny Fong, Regional Director, Greater China, Global Business, Singtel Enterprise Business, Singtel shared insights during panel discussion at the FUJIFILM Business Innovation Day 2022.
“Cybersecurity Mesh is a concept that started a couple of years. The idea is to bring comprehensive protection by leveraging a tight integration across multiple technologies. The core technologies include a strong identity and access authentication to enforce access policies with precisions. The concept also takes advantage of APIs between different technologies to drive interoperability to allow consolidated management. This would help reduce error and drive consistency in security operations.”

Patrick Yu, General Manager, FleishmanHillard Hong Kong Limited shared insights during panel discussion at the FUJIFILM Business Innovation Day 2022.
“Don’t underestimate the impact of cybersecurity attacks. Employees are often the first line of defense. While education and awareness training should take priority, enterprises should always be prepared to respond to security incidents. Having a playbook with clear plans can help your business to respond and rebound faster from cyberattacks. Equally important are simulations and drills of these plans to continuously review and improve your playbook.”

Optimizing Processes with Hyperautomation
Help You Perform Everything Remarkably with Hyperautomation
Hyperautomation has been one of Gartner’s top 10 strategic technologies for three consecutive years. It helps enterprises of all sizes to enhance business agility, efficiency, and decision-making. This explains why 85% of businesses are planning to invest or increase their investment in this area in the next 12 months, according to Gartner.
At the recent FUJIFILM Business Innovation Day 2022, our Hong Kong audience also showed a keen interest in hyperautomation. A live poll indicates 30% of the audience are still at the planning stage, but an equal percentage of the audience plan for three or more hyperautomation initiatives in the next 12 months.

Wilson Oh, Channel Resell Director – Asia, DocuSign, Inc. shared insights during panel discussion at the FUJIFILM Business Innovation Day 2022.
“Hyperautomation can take business contracts to the execution level. As a pioneer in e-signature technology, we help businesses to integrate their signed contracts with different systems and automation tools. Our AI tools can review the contract terms, highlighting areas that require further negotiation. By integrating e-signature tools with different systems, we can turn the paper-based agreement into business processes, like triggering payment process automatically before deadlines.”

Vincent Tong, Lead Solution Consultant of Greater China, Pegasystems Inc. shared insights during panel discussion at the FUJIFILM Business Innovation Day 2022.
“The major challenge to bring hyperautomation into reality is to identify the right area to automate. Business users often have the best understanding of business logic and processes. With the adoption of low-code platforms, they can be citizen developers to build automation tools between systems, optimize workflow, and extend the use of hyperautomation. It allows enterprises to capture the benefit of HYPER—Help You Perform Everything Remarkably.”

John Kwong, Chief Executive Officer, ParaDM Co., Ltd. shared insights during panel discussion at the FUJIFILM Business Innovation Day 2022.
“Choosing the right project for automation is halfway to success. Automation is often applied in mission-critical systems, singling out employees that involve in those systems to enjoy a streamlined workflow and creating a negative employee experience (EX) for many. We have all realized the importance of EX to the success of your organization. With the rising maturity of hyperautomation, enterprises should expand the use of automation to replace repetitive and tedious tasks for all employees.”

Chief Executive Officer, ParaDM Co., Ltd.
Delivering a Total Experience with Unified Communications
The Art and Science of Delivering Total Experience
Total Experience is one of Gartner’s top 10 strategic technologies. While many recognize the importance of customer experience (CX) and the value of employee experience (EX) to business success, not many understand the inter-relations between CX, EX, user experience (UX), and multi-experience (MX).
This goes beyond linking disconnected digital systems and manual interventions. The integration between CX, EX, UX, and MX is the basis of Total Experience. It redefines business excellence and memorable experiences.
Tatsuya Nakamura, Managing Director, FUJIFILM BI HK (second from the left) presented the certificates of appreciation to Carlos Chang, Operations & Customer Excellence Director, Bupa (Asia) (second from the right); Louis Mah, Director of Information Technology, Maxim's Group (far right); and Alan Chan, Director, DX & DME, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Adobe (middle), for the support as a panelist in the panel discussion moderated by Norris Chan, General Manager, Consultancy, FUJIFILM BI HK (far left).
We invited IT executives and technology leaders to share the art to drive customer satisfaction, and the science to enable straight-through processing (STP) through Total Experience.
Carlos Chang, Operations & Customer Excellence Director, Bupa (Asia) shared insights during panel discussion at the FUJIFILM Business Innovation Day 2022.
“Every month, Bupa handles tens of thousands of customer inquiries and hundreds of thousands of claim applications. Every interaction counts in driving excellent CX. Yet, a “true EX” must start with employee experience (EX). We need to deliver great EX to translate that into excellent CX. Therefore, the year-end bonus for each employee relies heavily on our customer satisfaction scores. This demonstrates delivering excellent CX is a role shared by every single employee.”
Carlos Chang
Operations & Customer Excellence Director, Bupa (Asia)
Louis Mah, Director of Information Technology, Maxim's Group shared insights during panel discussion at the FUJIFILM Business Innovation Day 2022.
“From focusing on delivering excellent dining experiences, the F&B industry shifted to enabling online ordering and delivery. Our biggest challenge is to empower our customer-facing employees from a wide range of age groups and digital experience to quickly learn these new tools. The sooner they can navigate these tools, the better they can serve our diners. The EX in using these digital tools is truly a reflection of our level of CX.”
Louis Mah
Director of Information Technology, Maxim's Group
Alan Chan, Director, DX & DME, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Adobe shared insights during panel discussion at the FUJIFILM Business Innovation Day 2022.
“Delivering total experience is a combination of art and science. Creating attractive content and meaningful messages is an art. Meanwhile, we need a scientific model to optimize the best time and channel to deliver this content to the targeted audience for a memorable experience. Businesses need tools to develop meaningful content and to deliver them to the right crowd, at the right time through the right channels by leveraging data analytics.”
Alan Chan
Director, DX & DME, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Adobe
