Boardwalktech and HCLTech Extend Partnership to Reduce Risk and Improve Control for Financial Institutions

Boardwalk Velocity Product continues expansion into financial services sector to help mitigate risk due to end-user computing applications

CUPERTINO, Calif., Sept. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – (TSXV: BWLK) (OTCQB: BWLKF) – Boardwalktech Software Corp. (“Boardwalktech” or the “Company”), a leading digital ledger platform and enterprise software solutions company, and HCLTech, a leading global technology company, are pleased to announce the expansion of their partnership. HCLTech is currently engaged with one of the top 5 US banks, helping implement the Boardwalk Velocity Product.

Banks and insurers of all sizes are facing mounting regulatory pressure to mitigate the risk associated with end-user computing applications (EUC’s). Until recently, progress with mitigating EUC risk and improving manual processes within financial institutions has been hampered by the extensive scale of the problem and the pervasive reliance on embedded manual solutions like Microsoft Excel. Considering the evolving regulatory environment regarding EUC’s, the risk management implications impeding both revenue opportunity and control, and the imposition of fines by regulatory bodies, financial institutions have come to realize the utmost importance of prioritizing the transformation of these EUC’s into a secure, compliant and improved environment with proper controls. The Boardwalk Velocity solution for financial services addresses these problems and provides a rapid path for mitigation of EUC risk and improvement of EUC controls across any financial institution.

“Our collaborative partnership with HCLTech at a prominent US bank has empowered us to optimize our strategy for the transformation of these End User Computing systems, resulting in swift compliance, better risk management supporting revenue endeavors, and robust data governance with a highly appealing return on investment,” stated Andrew T. Duncan, Chief Executive Officer at Boardwalktech. “The Boardwalk Velocity solution focuses on four core areas – improving process results, time to transformation, reduced cost to implement, and minimal disruption to users. This enables HCLTech and Boardwalktech to provide an unparalleled solution that is poised to remain highly sought-after and indispensable throughout the financial services industry.”

According to IT partners and financial services customers using Velocity, they have reported a 10x superior performance (in terms of time to deploy and cost to remediate mid and highly complex EUCs) versus alternative software solutions currently available in the market. Poorly integrated and non-compliant EUCs pose a massive risk management and compliance issue for banks. Financial institutions utilize thousands of Excel and Access based EUCs for financial and performance models along with reporting trackers that must be transformed into an environment to mitigate and manage capital risk, while being compliant with OCC and Dodd-Frank risk modeling requirements. By leveraging Velocity’s unique data architecture, financial institutions can rapidly transform these EUCs onto Velocity’s compliant data management platform. These transformations can be completed faster and with minimal impact to the end users’ day-to-day operations, all while preserving user reliance on the Excel experience and their existing EUCs. These improved auditability, operational and governance features allow financial services firms and banks to continue to use Excel while moving these EUC’s into a compliant, secure and auditable environment.

Roundtable with Shaw Laureates

Future of Science: Breakthroughs and Impacts

HONG KONG, Nov. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The “Roundtable with Shaw Laureates – Future of Science: Breakthroughs and Impacts”, presented jointly by The Shaw Prize Foundation and the Hong Kong Science Museum, and organised by the South China Morning Post, was held on 14 November at the Hong Kong Science Museum. This gathering brought together four distinguished 2024 Shaw Laureates for a cross-disciplinary discussion on various aspects of scientific research, from interpersonal to international communication and collaboration, to the impact of AI on the entire scientific community and beyond. The roundtable attracted over 120 in-person participants, and hundreds of audiences online.  

Among the speakers were Shrinivas Kulkarni, Shaw Laureate in Astronomy 2024; Swee Lay Thein and Stuart Orkin, Shaw Laureates in Life Science and Medicine 2024; and Peter Sarnak, Shaw Laureate in Mathematical Sciences 2024.

A key focus of the conversation was the increasing role of emerging technologies, particularly AI, in science research. The speakers acknowledged the inevitability of AI’s integration across all disciplines and emphasised the need for scientists to embrace this advancement. From a life science point of view, AI has the potential to accelerate drug development by replacing the traditional trial-and-error method. Students should be equipped with the technology, and be aware of what the tool can and cannot do. Mathematician Sarnak highlighted the importance of leveraging valuable resources such as international conferences, particularly those hosted in major cities like Hong Kong, to maximise the impact of AI in driving scientific breakthroughs through enhanced international collaboration.

While recognising the benefits of AI, concerns regarding the implications of this technology were also addressed during the roundtable. Speakers stressed the pivotal role of the understanding process in the pursuit of knowledge, emphasising that this process encapsulates the true essence of being a scientist – an aspect that AI cannot replicate.

During the interactive session, speakers answered various questions from the audience, among which were many young researchers and scholars. Life scientists Orkin and Thein encouraged young scientists to pursue their own interests and commit to work that they strongly believe in. In contrast, Astronomer Kulkarni, who viewed science as a strategic endeavour, advised students to identify and maximise one’s strengths and optimise resources effectively to achieve success in this “game” in science.

By Type, the Lift + Cruise segment is projected grow the fastest during the forecast period.

The increasing demand for efficient urban air mobility solutions is propelling interest in Lift + Cruise designs, which offer the versatility of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) combined with the efficiency of fixed-wing flight. This capability is particularly appealing for applications such as cargo delivery, emergency services, and passenger transport in congested urban environments. Advancements in hybrid propulsion technologies are enhancing the performance and reliability of Lift + Cruise UAVs, allowing them to achieve longer ranges and higher payload capacities while minimizing environmental impact. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) further enhances these systems by optimizing flight paths and energy management, thereby improving operational efficiency. Furthermore, regulatory developments aimed at facilitating urban air mobility are creating a more favorable environment for the deployment of Lift + Cruise hybrid UAVs.

By Industry, the commercial segment is expected to grow the most during the forecast period.

Increasing demand for versatile aerial solutions across various industries, including agriculture, construction, and logistics, is propelling the adoption of hybrid UAVs. These drones offer the unique advantage of combining electric and combustion propulsion systems, enabling longer flight times and enhanced payload capacities, which are essential for tasks such as aerial surveying, crop monitoring, and infrastructure inspection. The integration of advanced technologies, such as high-resolution cameras and LiDAR sensors, further enhances the capabilities of hybrid UAVs, making them indispensable tools for data collection and analysis. The growing emphasis on sustainability and reducing carbon footprints is encouraging businesses to adopt hybrid UAVs as a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional aerial solutions.
