Report further highlights user experience concerns, lack of in-house expertise as main barriers to adoption
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 29 June 2022 – Okta, Inc. (NASDAQ: OKTA), one of the leading independent identity providers, today announced the findings of the State of CIAM in Asia-Pacific 2022 study at the Okta City Tour Singapore event. The research set out to uncover the extent of CIAM adoption in Asia-Pacific, the factors driving businesses to implement CIAM solutions, and the challenges they face in managing digital customer identity today. The study was conducted in early 2022 and surveyed 320 C-level and senior IT decision makers in Australia, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, the Philippines and Hong Kong.
Richard Marr, APAC CIAM Lead, Okta, at the Okta City Tour Singapore event
With the pandemic accelerating the shift to digital across many business sectors and cyberattacks rising to an all-time high, businesses have a greater need to deliver secure, seamless digital experiences to their customers. CIAM allows businesses to embed a secure identity layer into their consumer and SaaS applications, facilitating secure, seamless end user experiences across digital channels. It also ensures partners, suppliers and contractors have secure access to the resources needed, empowering them to collaborate effectively. Importantly for business growth purposes, CIAM enables firms to analyze customers’ buying behaviours and craft targeted marketing strategies.
The study revealed a high level of understanding of CIAM across the region, with nearly three-quarters of respondents (72%) saying they have a good or expert understanding of CIAM, and only a small minority (7%) admitting to not knowing anything about it at all. This awareness has also translated to widespread adoption of CIAM solutions, with a large majority (82%) having already implemented CIAM solutions, whether built in-house or outsourced. Even among those that do not currently have a CIAM solution, nearly half (48%) are planning to deploy one in the next 12 to 18 months.
Security concerns driving CIAM adoption
Security emerged as the top driver for CIAM adoption, with nearly 9 in 10 respondents (89%) saying CIAM was very important or important to their overall security strategy, and just 3% saying it had no importance at all. Similarly, developers cited security as the top attribute (33%) when selecting a CIAM solution, followed by reliability (22%), ease of use (16%) and a good user experience (15%).
“An integrated, secure and seamless CIAM solution is now a critical component to organisations’ wish to provide the best digital user experience to their end users,” said Richard Marr, APAC CIAM Lead at Okta. “While the State of CIAM in Asia-Pacific 2022 survey revealed a high level of awareness and adoption of CIAM solutions in the region, challenges remain for organisations that may lack in-house expertise or the necessary resources to keep up with an evolving cyber threat and regulatory environment.”
Furthermore, the survey revealed significant concerns about CIAM implementation and potential business risk if done poorly. Most respondents said the biggest barrier to CIAM implementation was the risk of adversely impacting the user experience (61%), with many struggling to get this right internally, followed by a lack of available in-house expertise (42%), and the need to create a business case to justify implementation (30%).
Challenges of managing CIAM solutions amid evolving threat and regulatory landscape
The challenges and complexities of CIAM continue beyond implementation, with businesses that choose to build these solutions in-house needing to upkeep their deployments to withstand evolving cyberattacks. Of those organisations that have a CIAM solution, 60% say their biggest barrier in managing it is the need to improve their security posture, while 57% are challenged by the high level of complexity.
Balancing need for security, innovation and user experience (UX) amid talent shortage
The fast-changing threat landscape and ever-evolving audit and compliance requirements make speed and agility essential in managing customer identity. This creates another challenge for business, with over 40% citing this as a key barrier in using their existing CIAM solution.
In today’s digital-first world, the urgency for businesses to deliver customer experiences that balance security and UX is driving the adoption of CIAM across Asia-Pacific.
Those who don’t have a solution are hampered by knowing where to start, with concerns about user experience and security proving to be a barrier to implementation. Those who do are often relying on homegrown solutions that are complex to maintain, less secure, and divert developer and engineer time away from business-critical activities.
“In a world where in-house IT and security talent is scarce, keeping up with the fast changing security landscape can be unsustainably stressful,” said Richard Marr, APAC CIAM Lead at Okta. “Organisations should consider outsourcing customer identity management so that they can focus on the more strategic aspects of customer loyalty development, and business growth.”

Infor M3 CloudSuite for manufacturing helps Australian business icon drill into business blind spots for innovative, Industry 4.0 solutions and significant savings
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA – Media OutReach – 29 June 2022 –Infor, the industry cloud company, today announced that Sutton Tools has deployed Infor M3 CloudSuite for manufacturing to achieve a timely and accurate understanding of its business to drive product and company expansion both domestically and abroad. Sutton Tools has also implemented the Infor OS cloud operating platform, including Infor Intelligent Open Network (ION) and Mongoose, to fine-tune internal processes and reduce total cost of ownership.
Sutton Tools uses Infor M3 CloudSuite for manufacturing in its warehouse and manufacturing operations.
In 2001, Sutton Tools had a single distribution hub and one manufacturing centre but in the past decade has opened new facilities in New Zealand and The Netherlands as its first European base. After more than two decades, the successful migration to the cloud from a Movex/Infor M3 on-premise environment has saved Sutton Tools hundreds of thousands of dollars on new computing systems, and improved system integration and supply chain visibility across three manufacturing sites and three distribution centres – under the guidance of Infor global partner, Fortude.
According to Sutton Tools, the aim of the upgrade was to:
Improve business IT uptime
Reduce the effort required to upgrade an on-premise system
Take advantage of modern, continually upgraded cloud service features
Centralise its growing number of operational sites and existing third-party cloud-based services
Make it easier to integrate with third-party applications
A family business founded more than 100 years ago, Sutton Tools has expanded its portfolio from manufacturing threads and gauges to cutting tools and power tool accessories for specialised industrial applications such as aerospace and automotive. As a progressive business with 380 employees and $100 million-plus in revenue, Sutton Tools is consistently seeking ways to improve how it sells and delivers its tool products: in France, a vending machine in an aerospace firm instantly alerts Sutton Tools to a sale, with invoices generated automatically.
“The primary benefits of the upgrade have been improvements in excellent business uptime reliability, the most pleasing aspect of the project. The savings (of $100,000s) have been significant,” said Peter Sutton, managing director at Sutton Tools. “One of the most important contributions to our success is our ongoing reinvestment into the business – through research and development, our manufacturing processes, and the underlying technology stack.”
According to Sutton, the project “well surpassed our expectations. The efficiencies alone and to also be able to leverage Infor Mongoose and Infor ION across the business, allowed us to re-focus on the actual software than the hardware.”
“The readiness assessment was an invaluable part of the process. It highlighted functionality we would gain with the project, but more importantly identified areas for some quick wins.
“Employees adapted very quickly … I can be anywhere in the world and I’m up and running with full oversight of the company operations. During Covid, the ease of (remote) access has been invaluable,” he said.
The transition to the cloud has delivered company-wide benefits beyond cost savings. Automatic upgrades to the platform had reduced stress on the company’s IT team, who could focus on business and productivity-improving tasks. Infor M3 CloudSuite for manufacturing provided easier access for employees and additional oversight for management.
Infor M3 CloudSuite for manufacturing has a proven, global track record for helping customers uncover a single source of truth in their operations, drive customer success and maintain reliable business uptime 24/7, all year round.
“Sutton Tools is an iconic Australian success story, and Infor is proud to be entrusted yet again to help steer the company to greater heights,” said Jarrod Kinchington, vice president & managing director at Infor Australia/New Zealand. “With Infor, Sutton Tools have found the best enterprise-grade cloud solution that’s purpose-built for its state-of-the-art production processes to consistently deliver supply chain excellence and drive business success into the future.”

Indian tourists in Pattaya, Thailand (Photo: Bangkok Post)
Indians and Malaysians are leading a tourist influx to Thailand after the country eased entrance restrictions, with total arrivals surpassing two million since the beginning of the year.
HONG KONG SAR – EQS Newswire – 29 June 2022 – A fully integrated biopharmaceutical company – Uni-Bio Science Group Limited (the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”; Stock code: 00690.HK) is pleased to announce that t the marketing application submitted by the Group’s self-developed BOGUTAI® (teriparatide injection) has been accepted by the China National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”) on 28 June 2022, with the acceptance number “CXSS2200062国”. If BOGUTAI® is approved for marketing, it will provide patients with better drug choices, which is a major milestone for the company in the field of orthopedic diseases.
BOGUTAI® (teriparatide injection) is the Group’s fifth marketed product following GENETIME® , GENESOFT® , PINUP® , BOKANGTAI®, and it is also the first domestic manufactured PTH Liquid in China to use a disposable injection pen. Developed in collaboration with Swiss self-care giant Ypsomed, this product has an extremely thin injection needle and high dose accuracy, which can greatly reduce the pain of injections for patients. The Group strongly believe BOGUTAI® will be a future blockbuster for the Group by virtue of the product’s strong cost advantage, better therapeutic effect and convenient administration method.
Teriparatide injection adopts biological expression technology, and is a recombinant human parathyroid hormone analog (PTH1-34), which has the same sequence as the 34-amino acid N-terminal amino acid (biologically active region) of human parathyroid hormone of 84 amino acids. For the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women with a high risk of fractures, it is the only osteogenesis-promoting anti-osteoporosis drug approved for marketing at home and abroad, which can effectively improve bone microstructure, increase bone strength, promote bone healing, and significantly reduce the risk of vertebral and nonvertebral fractures in postmenopausal women.
China is the country with the largest number of osteoporosis in the world. According to the data of the seventh census in 2021, there are currently 264.02 million people aged 60 and above in my country, accounting for 18.70%. Epidemiological surveys show that the prevalence of osteoporosis among people over 50 years old in China is 20.7% for women and 14.4% for men; the prevalence of osteoporosis among people over 60 years old is significantly higher, and women are particularly prominent, as high as 51.6%. Hence, there are currently about 90 million osteoporosis patients in China, and the osteoporosis market size is about 15 billion to 20 billion yuan. The current market share of teriparatide is only about 1% of the PRC osteoporosis market, which is significantly lower than that of foreign countries. The main reason is that it is expensive and not covered by medical insurance. However, in the long run, with the aging of Chinese’s population, the gradual improvement of the coverage of the medical insurance system and the improvement of residents’ purchasing power, the market size of teriparatide will accelerate significant. Moreover, BOGUTAI’s product positioning of being more cost-effective and safe fits the needs of target demographic better, ensuring faster growth compared to other teriparatide competitors.
