2024 Financial Oscars: Waton Securities International Honored as “Outstanding Digital Empowerment Institution” of the Year

Published

on

By

SHENZHEN, China, Dec. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In early December, at the 18th Huaxia Institutional Investor Annual Conference of 2024, the 18th Golden Cicada Awards were announced. Waton Securities International was awarded the “Outstanding Digital Empowerment Financial Institution of 2024” for its significant achievements in securities brokerage and fin-tech sector.

The selection for the “Outstanding Digital Empowerment Financial Institution” focused on evaluating companies based on financial performance, market competitiveness, customer recognition, digital strategy planning and implementation, digital transformation outcomes, and risk control capabilities. Particularly, it highlighted cases that have made significant strides in digital empowerment.

The evaluation also emphasized the outstanding performance of financial institutions in their own digital transformation and the sound risk control abilities demonstrated during this process, ensuring that while pursuing innovation, companies can effectively manage and control risks. Waton Securities International distinguished itself among the contenders with its sophisticated technology platform, well-defined digital strategy, substantial transformation achievements, and commendable risk control mechanisms.

Established in Hong Kong in 1989, Waton Securities International has steadily grown with a deep understanding of professional financial services and regulatory compliance. It has obtained licenses 1/4/5/9 from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, becoming a fully licensed brokerage with comprehensive financial service qualifications. Through continuous technological innovation and digital transformation, it has successfully built a one-stop brokerage cloud service platform, promoting advanced digital financial technology globally. Its pioneering SaaS product, “Broker Cloud”, allows corporate clients to independently deploy and operate high-performance digital customer information management and trading systems without their own IT teams. The solution is relatively low-cost and adaptive to industry, which is the core competitiveness of Waton Securities International.

Data reveals that of the 1,100 securities firms in Hong Kong, approximately 600 are actively trading, yet fewer than 50 have developed their own mobile applications. On a global scale, among the 30,000 securities companies, only a handful—less than 300—feature brokerage trading Apps in App stores. This underscores a significant market demand for the digital enhancement of the securities sector.

With the swift growth of technologies like generative AI LLMs, blockchain, big data, and cloud computing, the securities industry can use these tools to streamline trading strategies, assess risks more accurately, and forecast market trends. These technologies also help the industry to move towards more integrated, platform-focused, and digital operations. The main goal of technology in finance is to increase the efficiency of financial institutions. A good starting point for applying technology is to focus on financial services and build a solid technical foundation for these institutions.

Xinjiang Kashgar distribution grid achieves “minute-level self-healing” for the first time

Published

By

KASHGAR, China, Dec. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On December 23, the State Grid Kashgar Power Supply Company successfully implemented the operation of accurate isolation of fault areas and rapid restoration of power supply in non-fault areas on the 10kV Zao Line and Zazhen Line, marking a major breakthrough in the fault handling of the Kashgar power grid and achieving “minute-level self-healing” for the first time.

In the past, when the 10 kV distribution line failed, the emergency repair personnel needed to patrol the site, judge the fault location, and then manually operate to restore the power supply in the non-fault area. The whole process took a long time. The construction and commissioning of the self-healing line has greatly shortened the time of fault search and isolation through network topological analysis, from “hourly level” to “minute level”, effectively reducing the power outage perception of users in non-fault sections. Since the beginning of this year, the State Grid Kashgar Power Supply Company has closely focused on the practical construction of distribution network automation, so as to achieve the goal of “non-stop power, less power failure, and fast power recovery” for users, and continued to promote the automation construction of the distribution network. A total of 3,200 “three remote” terminal access and debugging have been completed, achieving a terminal access rate of 98.28%, and the online rate has been steadily increased to 95.8%. Combined with the maintenance plan, mode adjustment, accident remote control disposal operation 825 times, and the remote control success rate is 90.68%.

In the next step, the State Grid Kashgar Power Supply Company will summarize the experience of the construction of feeder automation, steadily improve the effective coverage of feeder automation, and make every effort to promote the construction of power distribution automation, aiming to comprehensively improve the intelligence level of the Kashgar distribution grid and provide more reliable and efficient power services for local residents.
