Upon the first sip, a sweetness unfolds on the palate. As you savor it, you feel the rich layers of texture, followed by a clean, long-lasting finish that brings a comfortable warmth and a classic mellow aftertaste.” This leap from “cultural curiosity” to “consumer recognition” is largely driven by scenario-based innovation. 29° Crush On caters to business banquets, social gatherings, solo relaxation, and trendy mixology, allowing consumers to “please themselves anytime, anywhere” whether drinking it neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail.
The event was held at Wuliangye Dining Singapore, located in the vibrant Bugis District. Specializing in fusion Cantonese cuisine, the restaurant’s hallmark is the deep integration of dishes with Wuliangye Baijiu. Wuliangye forms classic pairings with signature dishes like Crispy Roast Chicken, Black Truffle Fried Rice, and Steamed Seafood. The unique aroma of the spirit complements Nanyang flavors, offering an international dining experience where “food carries the spirit of the baijiu, and baijiu enhances the flavor of the food.”
Leveraging rising market heat and consumer word-of-mouth, Wuliangye Dining Singapore has successfully converted brand buzz into stable foot traffic, driving synergy between product communication and channel management. It has become a mature model for Wuliangye’s overseas strategy of “Offline Experience — Word-of-Mouth Expansion — Consumer Conversion.”
Jiang Jia, Deputy General Manager of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd., stated that Singapore’s inclusive market provides a premium platform for the brand’s expression. The launch of 29° Crush On aims to convey the beauty of Chinese Baijiu in a way that is trendier, more international, and closer to the consumer.
Using Singapore as a strategic hub for Southeast Asia, Wuliangye will continue to deepen its localized operations and broaden consumption scenarios. By making Chinese Baijiu a natural and daily part of life for global consumers, the brand is steering the internationalization of Baijiu toward a new stage of high-quality development.

DXC OASIS is an intelligent orchestration platform that integrates seamlessly across existing IT environments, connecting and actively managing organizations’ entire IT estates in real time
DXC OASIS introduces a new managed services operating model that combines human expertise with agentic AI to help drive predictive, resilient, and continuously improving operations at scale, shifting from reactive support to intelligent execution
ASHBURN, Va., April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC), a leading enterprise technology and innovation partner, today announced DXC OASIS, an intelligent orchestration platform that introduces a new managed services operating model. Designed as a single, governed, and secure layer, DXC OASIS integrates seamlessly across an organization’s existing IT estate. It reimagines how managed services are delivered by combining human expertise with agentic AI, shifting from reactive support to real-time, intelligent operations across the entire technology environment and enabling greater confidence in mission-critical operations. Leveraging decades of DXC delivery expertise, validated through DXC’s Customer Zero approach and shaped through direct customer collaboration, DXC OASIS connects every system, signal, and technology decision, bringing together human judgment and agentic AI to run critical systems with greater speed, clarity, and control.
A new technology platform designed to deliver operational confidence
Enterprises today operate across complex multivendor environments, yet often lack a unified view of performance, cost, risk, and operational health. Technology estates have been built over years, often decades, resulting in siloed data and fragmented workflows that limit visibility and make it harder to act with speed and confidence. As a result, executives and IT leaders are often forced to navigate multiple disconnected systems to piece together the data and insights they need, slowing response times and increasing operational risk.
DXC OASIS addresses this complexity by establishing a trusted, enterprise-wide view of technology operations, bringing together data, workflows, and systems into one intelligent operating model. This enables teams to align actions, decisions, and outcomes across the enterprise in real time, so every action is traceable, and every insight is explainable. Rather than replacing existing tools, it sits across them as an open agentic orchestration layer, enhancing how they work together to create a more connected, responsive, and adaptive operating model, helping teams deliver stronger performance over time without added complexity.
“DXC is defining a new category in managed services. We have decades of trust, experience, and delivering reliable outcomes for the world’s leading enterprises,” said Chris Drumgoole, President, Global Infrastructure Services, DXC Technology. “But the way the industry delivers services today hasn’t kept pace with how enterprises actually operate. DXC is leading the shift to something better. With DXC OASIS, we’re moving to real-time, orchestrated agentic operations across the entire IT environment. Purpose-built for modern, AI-driven estates, it gives customers clear, continuous control over performance helping them deliver increased business value.”
A more transparent, connected model for managed services
Key capabilities of DXC OASIS that together create a transparent, governed, and continuously improving operating model include:
Unified visibility across the technology estate – Connects data across systems, providers, and environments to create a single, real-time view of performance, so teams can immediately understand what matters and where to act
Predictive, AI-driven intelligence – Identifies patterns, forecasts risks, and recommends actions before issues impact the business, helping teams stay ahead of disruption rather than respond after the fact
Human + AI collaboration at scale – Agents handle volume and automate routine tasks, enabling experts to apply judgment and focus on higher-value work so teams can operate faster and with greater precision
Designed for how enterprises operate
DXC OASIS establishes a new foundation for how managed services are designed, delivered, and will evolve in the AI era and reflects the realities of the modern enterprise, where teams depend on shared context, continuous coordination, and clear insight to manage complexity. Its human-centered design brings engineers, operators, and business leaders together around a single real-time view of performance, aligning teams on what matters most and enabling faster, more informed action.
At the core of this model is DXC’s Human+ approach, bringing people and technology together to embed AI directly into how services are delivered. DXC OASIS uses AI agents built on context, expertise, and accountability to continuously interpret signals, identify patterns, and take action in real time. Working alongside DXC experts, these agents reduce manual effort, surface what matters, and enable teams to focus on higher-value decisions instead of navigating fragmented systems. In mission-critical environments where failure is not an option, this approach combines the speed of AI with human judgment to deliver more consistent, governed, and resilient operations at scale.
“DXC OASIS is context that never sleeps. With it, IT leaders can focus on leading their operations rather than chasing alerts or designing, building, and generating reports,” said Dan Gray, VP, Chief Technology Officer, Global Infrastructure Services, DXC Technology. “AI Agents continuously operate with speed and precision alongside humans who provide judgement and expertise. DXC OASIS unlocks the connection between IT spend and tangible business results by delivering a holistic, real-time view of KPIs. At a time when moving faster and accelerating time to value is critical, DXC OASIS makes that a reality.”

80,000+ IBM employees currently using IBM Bob; surveyed users report average 45% productivity gain
Multi-model orchestration automatically routes each task to a suitable model based on accuracy, performance, and cost
Goes beyond code generation to automate full software development lifecycle workflows
Governance, compliance, and security controls built into every step
ARMONK, N.Y., April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced the global availability of IBM Bob, an AI-first development partner built for enterprise teams. Bob doesn’t just help developers write code fast. It works across the full software development lifecycle (SDLC), from planning and coding to testing, deployment, and modernization, with the governance and security controls enterprises need.
IBM Corporation logo.
AI is changing how software gets built. But for most enterprises, that speed is running headfirst into decades of accumulated complexity: legacy systems, hybrid environments, compliance requirements, and the very real cost of getting it wrong. Fast AI without the right guardrails is not progress. It is just faster risk.
IBM Bob is designed to close that gap. It’s built on a structured framework that embeds Bob into every role across the development process – including persona-based modes, enforced standards, reusable playbooks, tool calling, and human-in-the-loop governance – so teams can move fast while staying in control.
Key capabilities include:
AI-first SDLC orchestration: It is estimated that a significant portion of development effort is fragmented across tools, roles, and lifecycle stages—slowing delivery and introducing risk. Bob embeds agentic AI across the entire SDLC—from discovery and planning through design, coding, testing, deployment, and operations—coordinating specialized role-based agents, reusable skills, and governed workflows.
Intelligent modernization: It is estimated that 60–80% of development budgets go toward modernization efforts that can take weeks or months.1 Bob coordinates specialized agents across code, tests, documentation, and pipelines to execute complete modernization tasks. For example, Bob helped cloud solutions and consulting services company Blue Pearl conduct a typical 30-day Java upgrade in just 3 days, saving over 160 engineering hours.2
Security controls built in from day one: AI isn’t just accelerating software development; it’s transforming the security landscape and introducing new risks. Bob includes prompt normalization, sensitive data scanning, real-time policy enforcement, and AI red-teaming directly within the development workflow, not as an afterthought.
Auditability: AI-generated code can reach production without sufficient review, creating compliance blind spots. Bob’s CLI (BobShell) creates self-documenting agentic processes in real time, so every action is traceable from start to finish.
Multi-model orchestration: Bob dynamically routes tasks to a suitable model based on accuracy, performance, and cost, drawing on a mix of frontier models including Anthropic Claude, Mistral open source models, and IBM Granite, alongside specialized fine-tuned models for code reasoning, security, and next-edit prediction. Simpler completions go to lighter models. Complex tasks go to more capable ones. The goal: better outcomes and lower spend.
Transparency and developer control: Bob’s approval model lets developers configure checkpoints that match their workflow, from manual approvals to auto-approve by task type, keeping humans in the loop.
“Every business is racing to modernize. But speed without control and transparency is a liability. IBM Bob is how enterprises can move at AI speed without sacrificing the governance and security needs their businesses require. Bob was engineered by developers inside IBM for the millions like them worldwide, and it’s the foundation on which enterprises will become truly AI-first.” — Dinesh Nirmal, Senior Vice President, IBM Software
Stop managing models. Start managing outcomes. Enterprises don’t have a model problem. They have an outcome consistency problem. As AI adoption matures, the challenge isn’t which model to use, it’s how to consistently get the best result across a rapidly evolving landscape without making model selection an ongoing engineering distraction.
Bob handles this automatically. It draws on a mix of frontier LLMs, open source models, IBM Granite SLMs, and specialized fine-tuned models to route each task to a suitable model based on accuracy, latency, and cost across the full SDLC, from planning and coding to testing and validation. With pass-through pricing and usage visibility, organizations can align AI spend to real outcomes rather than experimentation.
“Developers need a system that understands the full context of their work and can act on it. That’s what we built with Bob. It’s an agentic platform that embeds an AI partner into every role across the SDLC, from the architect sketching a design to the security engineer reviewing code before it ships. We built Bob around a simple belief: model capability alone isn’t enough. How you deploy it, how you structure context, and how you keep humans in the loop is what determines whether AI actually delivers. With Bob, we’re helping developers to automate the mundane, and augment the complicated.” —Neel Sundaresan, General Manager, Automation & AI, IBM Software
Proven at scale inside IBM Bob launched inside IBM in June 2025 with 100 developers. It’s now in use by more than 80,000 IBM employees worldwide. Those surveyed have self-reported an average productivity gain of 45% across modernization, security, and new development work. On specific tasks, the numbers were higher:
Developers surveyed from the IBM Instana team reported an average 70% reduction in time spent on selected tasks, equaling an average time savings of 10 hours per week.
The IBM Maximo developer team tested Bob for various code generation and refactoring tasks, including updating code – tasks that normally take days. With Bob, the team was able to complete the tasks in hours, resulting in an estimated 69% time savings.
Real-world results
Ernst & Young is using IBM Bob to accelerate modernization of their global tax platform by automating code refactoring, test generation, and documentation.
“Developing enterprise platforms isn’t just about speed. It’s about understanding deeply embedded logic, maintaining architectural standards, and evolving systems responsibly. EY teams leveraged IBM Bob to apply AI to better interpret complex logic and streamline how changes are introduced, helping create a stronger foundation for scalable transformation.” — Christopher Aiken, Tax Platforms Leader and Chief Product Officer, Ernst & Young, LLP
Blue Pearl used Bob to accelerate delivery across its BlueApp platform. Work that typically required weeks of engineering effort was completed in three days, with zero defects post-deployment and over 160 hours saved through automated refactoring.
“Working with IBM through Bob…enabled us to deliver measurable value.” — Saireshan Govender, Group CEO, Blue Pearl
APIS IT used Bob to modernize mission-critical government systems spanning decades of technical debt, including mainframe and .NET environments. Bob produced 10x faster architecture analysis and documentation, with 100% accuracy in documenting legacy JCL/PL/I systems, and migrated complex .NET services in hours rather than weeks.
“Bob migrated our complex .NET services in hours instead of weeks.” — Veran Pokornić, Solution Architect, APIS IT
Availability IBM Bob is now generally available as a SaaS offering, including a complimentary 30-day trial alongside individual and enterprise plans. On-premises deployment is targeted in the future for organizations with data residency or regulatory requirements. To access Bob, visit bob.ibm.com.
IBM Bob represents the evolution of IBM’s code assistants, elevating capabilities to an end-to-end delivery model that delivers a step-change in productivity, modernization, and coordination across the SDLC. Existing WCA clients will continue to be fully supported and will have an adoption path to Bob.

From left: SUPT. Tan Shyong Shan, ACP Wan Azlan Wan Mamat, Philip Ho, Datuk Ab Wahab Bin Khalil, Wang Ning, Li Zhiqiang, KH Lim, and Vincent Lee Seng Chiang officiated the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Easyhome Mall.
The grand opening ceremony welcomed a distinguished lineup of guests, including Wang Ning, Chairman and CEO of Easyhome; Tuan ACP Wan Azlan, Subang Jaya Police Chief; Tan Shyong Shan, Staff Officer for Enforcement (Inspector-General of Police’s Office); Vincent Lee Seng Chiang, CEO of Nanyang Siang Pau; Li Zhiqiang, Vice President of CECA and General Manager of China Telecom Malaysia; Dato’ Sri Dr. Philip Ho, CEO of Pavilion Group; KH Lim, Founder and CEO of Senheng; Dato’ Abdul Wahab, Advisor to Pavilion Group; and General Manager Xue Yaqi. Strategic Entry into Southeast Asia
Wang Ning expressed strong confidence in Malaysia’s development prospects, positioning the country as a key starting point and strategic hub in the company’s global expansion roadmap.
He noted that as China’s manufacturing capabilities continue to advance, its products have become increasingly competitive globally, making international expansion an inevitable direction. At the same time, younger consumer demographics worldwide are driving demand growth, further reinforcing the push into overseas markets.
Malaysia’s mature business environment, openness to foreign investment, and strategic role as a gateway to Southeast Asia were key considerations. Moving forward, Easyhome Mall will serve as a base to expand into Southeast Asia, as well as into the Middle East and Central Asia.
Wang also revealed that the internationalisation strategy began approximately three years ago, with Malaysia being the first large-scale overseas implementation. Over the next three years, the company plans to strengthen its local supply chain and expand into key cities such as Johor Bahru and Penang, alongside other major regional markets. A New Benchmark in Home & Lifestyle Retail
Established in 1999, Easyhome has grown into one of China’s leading home furnishing retail groups, operating nearly 400 stores nationwide. Its business ecosystem spans design services, furniture and building materials retail, smart logistics, and commercial operations, with strong emphasis on customer-centric service standards.
The Malaysia debut represents a replication of its proven “one-stop home solution” model, integrating China’s advanced supply chain with local consumer needs to deliver a seamless and innovative retail experience.
The project is developed in collaboration with Pavilion REIT, combining operational expertise and resource strengths to establish a benchmark for China–Malaysia commercial cooperation. Empowering Smart Living Through Innovation
A representative from Pavilion REIT noted that the opening of Easyhome Mall marks a new phase for the Subang project, reflecting continuous upgrades and transformation to better serve the local community.
As technology reshapes lifestyles, homes are evolving into more intelligent and interconnected spaces. In response, Easyhome Mall introduces a new retail concept that integrates smart home technologies with modern living experiences, bringing a new dimension to Malaysia’s retail landscape. A Fully Integrated One-Stop Home Destination
General Manager Xue Yaqi highlighted that home-related consumption typically involves multiple stages—from design and renovation to building materials, furniture, and appliances—often requiring consumers to visit multiple locations.
Easyhome Mall addresses this by consolidating the entire value chain into a single destination, enabling a seamless one-stop shopping experience. The “what you see is what you get” concept reduces information gaps and enhances decision-making efficiency.
This integrated model allows consumers to complete their home planning and purchasing journey within one space, significantly improving convenience and overall experience. Comprehensive Lifestyle Offering
Located in USJ 1, Subang Jaya, Easyhome Mall is easily accessible via major highways including KESAS, NKVE, ELITE, and the Subang–Kelana Jaya elevated highway, as well as nearby LRT and BRT stations.
The mall features a carefully curated, multi-level layout:
• LG Floor: Supermarket, dining, and lifestyle offerings
• Ground Floor: Customised furniture and smart home appliances with integrated home solutions
• First Floor: International home furnishing brands with global design standards
• Second & Third Floors: Local brands focusing on mattresses and home essentials
• Fourth Floor: Dining and event spaces
This tenant mix brings together premium Chinese brands and local businesses, creating a complete “shop, dine, and experience” destination.
Driving Digital Transformation
Easyhome’s expansion is supported by its digital ecosystem, including platforms such as Doorverse, Homestyler, and Easyhome IoT.
Homestyler, developed in collaboration with Alibaba Group and enhanced through AI technologies with NVIDIA, enables advanced 3D design and immersive user experiences.
The Doorverse platform has achieved rapid growth, surpassing RMB100 billion in gross merchandise value within three years, reflecting the strength of Easyhome’s digital capabilities.
These technologies support the transition from traditional retail to a digitalised industry service platform, enhancing both operational efficiency and customer experience. Strengthening Regional Presence
Malaysia represents a key milestone in Easyhome’s global expansion and serves as its first large-scale integrated overseas development. Following earlier ventures in Phnom Penh and Macau, the Kuala Lumpur launch marks a deeper commitment to Southeast Asia.
Beyond retail, Easyhome Mall acts as a platform connecting high-quality Chinese home furnishing brands with the Malaysian market, while simplifying the traditionally complex home furnishing process into a more efficient and enjoyable experience.
Looking ahead, Easyhome plans to further integrate its supply chain, establish overseas warehousing, and support the global expansion of Chinese home brands—from product export to full-scale internationalisation of brands and manufacturing. Grand Opening Highlights
The opening ceremony featured lion dance performances and a series of promotional activities, including exclusive offers and “crazy sales” deals, attracting strong public turnout and long queues from early morning.
The successful launch of Easyhome Mall marks a promising beginning in Malaysia and sets the foundation for continued growth across the region.

One Japanese user commented: “This is one of the most user-friendly external monitors I’ve used. It’s lightweight and easy to carry, so I can use it anytime and anywhere. It also feels more cost-effective than buying an official dock.”
In terms of display performance, it features a 12.3-inch screen with a 1920×1280 resolution and a 3:2 aspect ratio. Compared to conventional 16:9 displays, it provides a larger viewing area, helping improve productivity for work and study. With 100% sRGB color gamut, 300 nits of brightness, and HDR support, it delivers natural and immersive visual performance across various use cases.
Touch functionality is another key highlight. The S123E adopts a fully laminated touch panel and supports AES 1.0/2.0 styluses, enabling precise input and smooth interaction, suitable for note-taking, drawing, and other creative tasks. With OTG support, users can also connect a keyboard and mouse directly, making it easy to set up a mobile workstation.
Designed to balance portability and practicality, the device features a lightweight body and an integrated adjustable stand for flexible viewing angles. Built-in dual speakers support everyday audio and video needs, making it suitable for a wide range of scenarios including gaming, work, study, and in-vehicle use.
