Docusign Showcases Next-Gen AI and Agreement Management Innovation at Singapore Momentum Event

SINGAPORE, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Docusign (Nasdaq:DOCU), the Intelligent Agreement Management company, today unveiled new AI-powered tools—including AI Contract Agents and a suite of next-generation offerings—designed to further accelerate contract workflows and drive stronger business outcomes across Asia-Pacific.

Built on Docusign Iris, the company’s AI engine, the tools made their first Asia showcase today at Momentum 25 Singapore. The event brought together innovators, customers, and partners from across the region, setting the stage for Docusign’s vision to transform how organizations create, negotiate, and manage agreements in today’s digital-first economy.

Tailor-made for agreements and backed by Docusign’s two decades of contract expertise, Docusign Iris applies advanced AI models to key stages of the agreement lifecycle—from drafting to reviews—to make processes faster, more accurate, and easier to manage. For businesses operating across a diverse region like Asia Pacific, Iris is built with multi-lingual AI capabilities and is already supporting all English-speaking countries, including Singapore, helping businesses handle cross-border agreements more effectively.

Powered by Iris, new AI Contract Agents will be available in Singapore in 2026. These agents automate time-consuming tasks that previously required days of manual work. For example, a procurement team can instruct an AI agent to analyse vendor risk, cross-check contract terms against legal standards, and flag outdated clauses—all within minutes, with full transparency at every step.

“With Docusign Iris and our new AI Contract Agents, we’re empowering businesses across Asia-Pacific to achieve measurable improvements—from faster deal cycles to stronger compliance and enhanced customer experiences,” said Allan Thygesen, Chief Executive Officer, Docusign. “In a fast-growing yet highly complex region, where diverse cross-border regulations and compliance requirements can slow progress, agentic AI in intelligent agreement management will help organizations move faster and more efficiently to unlock growth.”

The Business Imperative for Agreement Management

Inefficient processes across outdated or disconnected systems lead to delays, compliance risks, and missed opportunities, costing organisations globally an estimated US$2 trillion (S$2.5 trillion) in lost value annually, with Asia Pacific alone accounting for approximately US$600 billion (S$810 billion).

According to the latest Optimising Agreement Management report by Docusign and Deloitte, 77% of high-performing organisations credit effective agreement management with driving success in core business areas, highlighting the strategic importance of modernizing these processes. Leaders surveyed in the study view AI as critical to this transformation, with AI-enabled agreement tools reducing deal delays by 29% in sales, cutting contract compliance risks by 21%, and saving 21% of time in procurement workflows.

Delivering Speed, Accuracy and Transparency Throughout the Agreement Lifecycle

Docusign Iris also brings a suite of new features designed to streamline and enhance every stage of the agreement lifecycle, from contract creation to signing and management.

  • Agreement Desk (April 2026): A centralized collaboration hub where teams can quickly submit contract requests and track progress in real time. Integrated with AI-Assisted Review, teams can use Docusign Iris to identify risky clauses and suggest policy-aligned language directly with Microsoft Word, enabling faster negotiations, quicker deal closures, and smoother supplier onboarding.
  • Workspaces (available December 2025): A secure, all-in-one environment where signers can access documents and tasks for multi-step agreements (e.g., buying a home or opening a bank account) without juggling email chains or scattered forms. This leads to faster closings, improved customer experiences and stronger business relationships.
  • Enhancements to Navigator (available now for all English-speaking countries): Navigator now provides advanced contract insights, dashboards, notifications and reporting powered by Iris, helping businesses monitor obligations and identify risks or opportunities more effectively. Crucial details such as expiration dates, involved parties, and contract types are now surfaced and searchable, a capability that was not previously possible. Businesses can upload contracts, highlight the relevant terms, and have them automatically surfaced in Navigator without the need for coding or developers. In the future, Navigator will also allow businesses to define their own custom terms (e.g., loyalty program details or rental information), further extending its flexibility.

Strengthening Trust and Accelerating Growth in APAC

At the same time, Docusign and Deloitte’s report highlights significant variation in agreement management maturity across the region. While Singapore leads on digital trust—with 89% of local business leaders confident in its agreement governance—it trails markets like Japan and Australia by more than 25 percentage points in AI-driven contract creation maturity. This points to an opportunity for Singaporean businesses to accelerate automation and modernize early-stage workflows to stay competitive.

“Across Asia, business leaders increasingly recognize that agreement processes are no longer inconsequential administrative tasks but are instead emerging as strategic levers for improving efficiency, compliance, and business growth throughout  the agreement lifecycle,” said Kartik Krishnamurthy, Vice President, Asia at Docusign. “The advancement of Docusign Iris and the rollout of enhanced AI-powered features at this year’s Momentum Singapore reflect our commitment to the region, as we help businesses close the gap and keep pace with global standards in AI-driven contract creation and security.”

PRCA Thailand Conference Reveals Nine in Ten Thais Want Transparency as AI Use Explodes


BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 14 August 2025 – As Thailand accelerates investment in artificial intelligence (AI), new research from PRCA APAC and YouGov reveals that trust is the cornerstone of public acceptance. While there is cautious optimism and strong calls for regulation, the Thai public expects transparency from brands and institutions to build and maintain that trust.

PRCA 1

Presented at the inaugural PRCA Thailand Conference 2025, the study, titled “The Impact of AI on Thai Society”, reveals a complex national picture. While Thailand is emerging as a regional leader in AI, with a USD 15.4 billion investment in infrastructure and a national plan to produce 90,000 AI professionals, the public remains sharply aware of the risks that come with rapid adoption.

Key highlights from the research include:

  • Transparency builds trust: 92% of Thais want brands to disclose AI use. Trust spikes among Gen Z (37%) and young families (31%) when AI use is transparent.
  • Misuse tops concerns: 40% cite AI misuse as their biggest worry, followed by misinformation, deepfakes, privacy, and ethics. Gen X and rural groups are most cautious.
  • AI supports, not replaces: 55% say AI boosts efficiency, but most agree it should enhance—not replace—human creativity.
  • Demand for guidance: Many want practical AI education online and offline, with calls for stronger government regulation on ethics and skills training.

“Trust and transparency aren’t just public expectations, they’re now brand imperatives in the AI era,” said Dr. Karine Lohitnavy, Chair of PRCA Thailand and Founder of Midas PR. “As communicators, we have a vital role to play in bridging the gap between innovation and understanding. That means helping the public make sense of AI’s impact while holding brands accountable to ethical, human-first storytelling.”

Speaker Narongyod Mahittivanicha, Founder of TWF Agency and Vice President of the Artificial Intelligence Association of Thailand, reinforced the irreplaceable role of human creativity in public relations. Referencing a recent viral Coldplay-related campaign known as the “Astronomer CEO” crisis response, he noted that the level of creativity, emotional intelligence, and nuance involved is something AI cannot yet replicate.

In a fireside chat titled “Viva La Press Release! Old Format, New Tech,” Jennifer Kok, Founder and CEO of Media OutReach Newswire, said: “In today’s digital publishing and AI era, press releases play a vital role in driving brand trust through verbatim, guaranteed posting on authoritative news websites. These features give PR professionals the ability to control the narrative of key corporate messages, building brand equity with targeted journalists and media across their chosen markets. The advancements in AI will further empower the public relations industry.”

Panel discussions included leaders from Microsoft Thailand, SCBx, Predictive, and Xponential Co., exploring AI’s real-world applications in PR, brand reputation, and public perception. Moderated by Edelman Thailand’s Vorasit Turongsomboon and digital creator Tossapol Leongsuppon, the panels addressed ethical governance, influencer transparency, and the public’s call for structured AI education and stronger regulation.

Jaruwan Vorarakthananun, Communications Lead at Microsoft Thailand, said: “AI isn’t here to replace communications professionals—it’s here to empower us. Generative AI is still evolving, learning every day. It’s up to us to guide its growth and ensure it truly works for us. Don’t hesitate to adopt AI into your daily work. Treat it as a trusted assistant that helps us work smarter, faster, and with greater impact.”

PRCA 2

The inaugural PRCA Thailand Conference took place on 6 August 2025 at SCBx NEXT Tech, Siam Paragon, bringing together professionals from Thailand’s public relations, business, and technology communities. The conference was supported by Gold Sponsor Media OutReach Newswire and other sponsors, including Edelman Thailand, MIDAS-PR, Moonshot Digital, Vero, SCBX, and YouGov.

GAR Reaches Record High First-Half Revenue, Standing Firm Against Market Headwinds

  • GAR’s revenue reached a first-half record high of US$6.2 billion, supported by a 19% increase in crude palm oil (CPO) market prices
  • 1H 2025 EBITDA grew 14% year-on-year to US$566 million, accompanied by over 56% growth in Net Profit
  • Integrated agribusiness model continues to provide security and consistency in spite of changeable market conditions.

SINGAPORE, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Golden Agri-Resources Ltd (“GAR” or the “Company”) achieved record high first-half revenue, generating US$6.2 billion, supported by 19% increase in crude palm oil (CPO) market prices (FOB Belawan). Higher plantation output allowed the Company to capitalise on stronger CPO prices, while offsetting reduced sales volumes.

GAR achieved first-half record high revenue of US$6.2 billion, supported by higher crude palm oil market prices

EBITDA for the first half of 2025 grew 14% year-on-year, reaching US$566 million at a margin of 9.2%, driven by higher plantation output and stronger CPO prices. Underlying profit increased by 23% to US$232 million, while net profit was buoyed by lower interest expenses and reduced foreign exchange loss to reach US$160 million, up 56% compared to the same period last year.

Prudent financial management and strong financial results contribute to the Company’s healthy balance sheet, reflected by decreases in both gearing ratio and net debt to EBITDA to 0.61 times and 0.22 times respectively.

On the outlook, Mr. Franky O. Widjaja, GAR Chairman and Chief Executive Officer shared: “Favourable weather conditions have helped Indonesian palm oil to continue its recovery in 2025, in line with global vegetable oil supply trends. Although global economic growth is slowing down, we see gradual improvement in palm oil demand, driven by staple food consumption and smooth implementation of the B40 biodiesel policy. Nonetheless, we continue to anticipate factors that may influence price trends and trade flows, including global geopolitical tensions and changing trade tariffs.”

SEGMENTAL PERFORMANCE

Plantations and palm oil mills (Upstream)

GAR’s yield intensification efforts, coupled with favourable weather conditions, contributed to 9% growth in fresh fruit bunch (FFB) productivity. FFB yield reached 8.8 tonnes per hectare, generating a total of 4.4 million tonnes of FFB. Favourable weather conditions and a higher proportion of mature trees on the Company’s estates supported this growth, even as GAR continued to prepare land for replanting. Palm product output also rose by 9% year-on-year to 1.3 million tonnes.

A combination of higher plantation output and appreciation in CPO prices translated to a strong 51% growth in EBITDA for this segment to US$320 million, at a margin of 27%.

Palm, laurics and others (Downstream)

GAR’s downstream segment consists of processing and merchandising palm and oilseed-based products including bulk and branded products, oleochemicals, sugar and other vegetable oils.  

GAR remained resilient despite competitive market conditions. A 2% dip in sales volume to 5.6 million tonnes was mitigated by robust growth in average selling prices, expanding first-half revenue by 20% to US$6.1 billion.

EBITDA for this segment decreased by 13% to US$246 million, with a lower margin of 4% as a result of weaker refining margins. GAR continues to strengthen its competitive edge by enhancing the value proposition of its products and maintaining strong relationships with destination customers to optimise margins.

ADVANCING SUSTAINABILITY AMBITIONS 

GAR’s value offering is underpinned by robust commitments to responsible sourcing and production. In the first half of 2025, the Company announced the evolution of its sustainability commitments, Collective for Impact, which embeds ESG into core business operations. Under the pillars of Sourcing Responsibly, Caring for Our Planet, and Empowering People, GAR has established time-bound, science-based targets to achieve these goals. Progress is reported in the Company’s annual Sustainability Report

Notable progress in the first half of this year includes publication of a new Responsible Agri-Commodity Sourcing Policy covering commodities beyond palm. Additionally, GAR has deepened its partnership efforts to enhance social and environmental impact, extending community programmes to improve food security, stunting prevention, and early childhood education in its operational areas, and enhancing research into climate resilience.

Local Brands and Sellers Shine Together with Global Brands at “Lazada Seller & Partner Awards 2025”

Lazada Seller & Partner Awards 2025 demonstrates Lazada’s strengthened commitment to accelerating Indonesia’s digital economy ahead of its year-end shopping festival series in 2025.

JAKARTA, Indonesia, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The number of eCommerce users in Indonesia is predicted to keep growing, with an 11.2% year-on-year (YoY) increase from 65.65 million people in 2024 to 73.06 million in 2025 (Statista Report, 2025). This figure is expected to continue rising, reaching 99.1 million users by 2029. This aligns with the growing valuation of Indonesia’s digital economy, with the eCommerce sector at the forefront of this exponential rise. The e-Conomy SEA 2024 report by Google, Temasek, and Bain & Company projects that the eCommerce sector will be a key driver with a Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) forecast of US$150 billion (Rp2,447 trillion) by 2030.

Lazada Indonesia CEO Carlos Barrera delivers a keynote speech at the Lazada Seller & Partner Awards 2025, honoring brands, sellers, and partners for their growth alongside Indonesia’s dynamic digital economy.

This awards event aims to motivate all brands and sellers on Lazada to keep growing in line with the rapid transformation of the national digital economy.

At the Lazada Seller & Partner Awards 2025, 15 brands and sellers, along with one Lazada enabler partner, received awards across four categories presented during the gala night. Award categories included LazMall Brand of the Year and Category Champion, split into FMCG, Beauty, Mother and Baby, Fashion, Electronic, and General Merchandise categories. Lazada also presented the Rising Star award for sellers with promising performance and the Lazada Partner Excellence award for enabler partners who have made significant contributions to developing Lazada’s ecosystem.

During the award ceremony held at the Le Meridien Hotel, Jakarta (13/08), Carlos Barrera, CEO of Lazada Indonesia, expressed his highest appreciation to the brands and sellers. “We are very proud to be part of our sellers’ and partners’ success journey and express our gratitude for the dedication, hard work, and incredible spirit shown by the brands and sellers we recognize tonight.

Various Indonesian brands and sellers showcased their capabilities and made it to the list of Lazada award winners this year, shining alongside some of the world’s biggest brands. Their achievement reflects the growing strength and advantages that local brands and sellers are increasingly able to harness in Indonesia’s market. One of Indonesia’s favorite beauty brands, Wardah, also won the LazMall Brand of the Year award.

We are pleased to receive the award.

As a brand that relies on LazMall as one of our key sales channels, we believe that the combination of product innovation, consistent service, and relevant campaign approaches has strengthened our customer loyalty,” said Meinar Dyan, Group Head E-Commerce ParagonCorp upon receiving the award.

“LazMall provides an ecosystem that supports brands to grow sustainably, with guaranteed product authenticity, targeted visibility, and various initiatives that help us expand our reach and build trust. We thank Lazada for consistently supporting the advancement of Indonesian products, as a platform that drives the national economy. With the same spirit of nationalism, we can grow together and enhance the nation’s competitiveness. This award further motivates us to keep innovating and delivering the best for our customers on Lazada’s platform,” she added.

Lazada’s Commitment to Driving Indonesia’s Digital Economy Growth, Ready for Year-End Shopping Festivals

The Lazada Seller & Partner Awards 2025 was held ahead of Lazada’s year-end shopping festival series, starting with the 9.9 campaign in September.
