Vodafone Business and e& Mark Strengthening of Strategic Collaboration with First Major Customer Win

Al Futtaim Group, a major conglomerate with leading brand franchises, chooses alliance for software-driven network

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 19 October 2023 – Vodafone Business and e& marked a significant strengthening of their enterprise collaboration with the first joint major customer win after they unveiled a new strategic relationship in May this year.

At GITEX 2023 the world’s largest tech show today, Vodafone Business and e& also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) detailing how they will jointly market, sell and service businesses and public sector organisations across their respective footprint to support with their digital transformations. The two companies plan to work with existing multi-national enterprise customers that would benefit from their combined offerings, operational scale, and complementary geographic footprint.

Al-Futtaim Group, one of the largest family run conglomerates operating in diverse sectors such as automotive, retail, real estate, finance and health, is the first such customer to benefit from the new Vodafone Business and e& partnership. The Al-Futtaim Group chose this partnership because e& and Vodafone offers cross-border digital connectivity services, management and security in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, while ensuring Al-Futtaim Group adheres to local laws and regulations.

As Al-Futtaim Group looks to expand in new markets, particularly with its dynamic retail franchise business, it needed a secure solution that could be quickly and cost-effectively scaled up. Al-Futtaim Group will use an advanced software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) from Vodafone with expert hybrid managed connectivity solutions provided by e& to advance its digital transformation and cloud adoption initially in eight countries.

Fánan Henriques, Vodafone Business International and EU-Cluster Director said: “I am delighted that Al-Futtaim Group has chosen the new Vodafone Business and e& partnership to usher in a new era of connectivity. We are a powerful force that can help accelerate the pace of digital transformation for many customers.

“We will now target the growth opportunities presented by the emergence of key trading corridors between the Middle East and Europe, and favourable regional macro-economic policies incentivising the deployment of digital infrastructure across both private and public sectors.”

Obaid Bokisha, Group Chief Operations Officer, e& Operations said: “I am looking forward to working and collaborating with Vodafone on this major project with Al Futtaim, taking this partnership to a whole new level ushering in a new era of digital acceleration for all our customers. Together we can empower possibilities and explore new frontiers of what is achievable. With our comprehensive digital first solutions we will continue to focus on driving synergies across our businesses, a testament to the strength of our partnership and value it will bring our customers.”

Vodafone Business and e& have defined principal areas of focus under their MOU agreement which include working closely with enterprise customers across markets, leveraging each other’s market capabilities and jointly offering cross-border digital services and solutions in accordance with applicable laws. This includes joint customer engagement and a cross market operating model to identify, explore, and secure new business opportunities.

The two companies will also jointly offer innovative and scaled digital products and services covering SD-WAN and SD-LAN, device life cycle management, Internet of Things (IoT), Mobile Private Networks, cloud solutions, and Unified collaboration and communication tools.

Australian Journalist Says She Was Detained for 3 Years in China for Breaking Embargo

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australian journalist Cheng Lei says she spent more than three years in detention in China for breaking an embargo with a television broadcast on a state-run TV network.

Cheng‘s first television interview since she was freed was broadcast in Australia on Tuesday almost a week after she returned to her mother and two children, aged 11 and 14, in the city of Melbourne.

The Chinese-born 48-year-old was an English-language anchor for state-run China Global Television Network in Beijing when she was detained in August 2020.

She said her offense was breaking a government-imposed embargo by a few minutes following a briefing by officials.

Her treatment in custody was designed to “drive home that point that in China that is a big sin,” Cheng told Sky News Australia. “That you have hurt the motherland and that the state’s authority has been eroded because of you.”

“What seems innocuous to us here is –- I’m sure it’s not limited to embargoes, but many other things — are not in China, especially (because) I’m given to understand that the gambit of state security is widening,” she said.

Cheng did not give details about the embargo breach.

Her account differs from the crime outlined by China’s Ministry of State Security last week.

The ministry said Cheng was approached by a foreign organization in May 2020 and provided them with state secrets she had obtained on the job in violation of a confidentiality clause signed with her employer. A police statement did not name the organization or say what the secrets were.

A Beijing court convicted her of illegally providing state secrets abroad and she was sentenced to two years and 11 months, the statement said. She was deported after the sentencing because of the time she had already spent in detention.

Observers suspect the real reason Cheng was released was persistent lobbying from the Australian government and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s planned trip to China this year on a date yet to be set.

Cheng said that a visit to a toilet at the court on the morning before she was sentenced was the first time in more than three years that she had sat on a toilet or seen her reflection in a mirror.

Her commercial airline flight from Beijing to Melbourne was the first time she had slept in darkness in three years because the lights were always left on at night in the detention facilities.

Cheng migrated to Australia with her parents at age 10. She said she struggles to answer when asked how she has been since her return.

“Sometimes I fell like an invalid, like a newborn and very fragile,” Cheng said. “And other times I feel like I could fly and I want to embrace everything and I enjoy everything so intensely and savor it.”

Temus scales up Step IT Up career conversion programme with third run as Singapore’s digital economy crosses S$100 billion mark

  • Geared toward the tech hiring needs of private and public sector customers, Temus aims to hire, place and train 20 digital business analysts for its third iteration of Step IT Up.
  • Graduates will be guaranteed tech roles with market-competitive salaries, along with a stipend throughout the career conversion programme.
  • The programme has seen graduation and jobs placement rates of over 90 per cent, enabling locals with no prior tech backgrounds to work in sectors ranging from telco to healthcare, insurance to government organisations.
  • Aspiring candidates should apply by the close of 20 November 2023 via www.stepitup.temus.com.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 19 October 2023 – Temus, digital transformation services firm established by Temasek in partnership with UST, has announced a new round of recruitment for the third iteration (Run 3) of Step IT Up. Supported by Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), Temus’ Step IT Up career conversion scheme was introduced in August 2022, and has seen 38 individuals with no prior tech training or backgrounds secure full-time roles in software and digital application development upon graduating from the three-month programme.

Photo Captions: Temus welcomed 18 Graduates (Transformers) to their Low-Code practice at the company’s 2nd Step It Up Graduation in July 2023, with Guest of Honour, Mr. Chng Kai Fong, Permanent Secretary (Development), Smart Nation and Digital Government Group.

For Run 3, Temus aims to hire, place and train 20 digital business analysts (Digital BAs). Digital BAs comprehend both the operational and technical requirements of organisations, collaboratively working with pertinent teams to identify and implement the optimal digital solutions to address them. Temus foresees a growing demand for these Digital BAs, as Singapore’s public and private sectors undergo digital transformation to seize opportunities within the burgeoning digital economy.

Temus’ announcement comes on the back of IMDA’s inaugural report on Singapore’s digital economy. Jointly produced with the NUS Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, the report highlighted that the digital economy, as a proportion of Singapore’s gross domestic product growth, rose from 13 per cent to 17.3 per cent in 2022 and almost doubled to S$106 billion in 2022. Commensurate with this growth, the number of digital tech jobs created increased from 155,500 to 201,100 over the same five-year period.

Kiren Kumar, Deputy Chief Executive for IMDA said, “Our recently published Singapore Digital Economy report has found that the demand for tech professionals in Singapore is healthy and has risen over the years, accounting for 5.2 per cent of total employment today. As part of efforts to meet this demand, the Step IT Up programme has been successfully enabling organisations to tap on Temus’ accelerated career conversion programme for their tech talent needs. With its third iteration, we look forward to even more graduates of the programme contributing to Singapore’s growing digital economy.”

Driving Singapore’s digital economy by transforming people

Run 3 will build on the success of Temus’ previous two cohorts, which attracted around 900 applicants for 20 places each. Graduates – affectionately called Temus Transformers – were equipped with technical coding skills in Microsoft .NET framework and digital application development competencies using the OutSystems low-code platform. These newfound skills have enabled these Singaporean locals with no prior tech qualifications, training and backgrounds to work in digital technology roles for sectors ranging from telco to healthcare, insurance to government organisations. The trainees come from a diverse range of backgrounds including professional musicians, science researchers, marketers and supply chain professionals.

KC Yeoh, Chief Executive Officer, Temus said, “The continued demand for Step IT Up in Singapore is testament to the capacity of our people to transform and become builders of our digital future. At the same time, our close partnership with customers in the public and private sectors in the areas of role definition, syllabus design and recruitment, ensures that each of our Transformers are geared up to thrive in the specific positions, working conditions and workplace cultures that they’ll be hired, placed, and trained in.”

Step IT Up has a credible track record, with graduation and job placement rates exceeding 90 per cent since its adaptation for the Singapore market last year. Its success in Singapore echoes the programme’s accomplishments in the United States, Israel, Mexico, and other locations worldwide, where it was pioneered by Temus’ partner, UST.

Through Step IT Up, over 1,100 individuals have successfully landed tech roles at prominent multinational corporations like Walmart and Home Depot, growing their tech careers in these positions for over two years.

Srijay Ghosh, Temus’ Founding Member and Chief Revenue Officer said, “Digitally literate talent will be the backbone of Singapore’s burgeoning digital economy. Since Temus’ founding two years ago, we’ve remained committed to the digital ambitions of our customers and employees for Singapore and beyond. Through Step IT Up, we look forward to enabling more aspiring Transformers to receive the skills, confidence and disposition needed to thrive in our digital future.”

Temus’ recruitment for Run 3 will span 16 October to 20 November 2023. Step IT Up is open to Singapore citizens or Singapore permanent residents (PR) with no prior IT qualifications, including mid-career switchers with no prior experience in technology roles. Aspiring candidates should apply to the programme at www.stepitup.temus.com before 20 November 2023.
