FSS launches ‘FSS Voice Commerce’ at Seamless Middle East

The solution will enable customers to conduct a range of transactions round-the-clock using voice assistants 

11th April 2019, Dubai: FSS (Financial Software and Systems), a global payments technology company, has launched FSS Voice Commerce, a real-time voice banking platform that offers customers, meaningful, contextual and personalized banking interactions. Enabling banks to deepen customer engagement via conversation-led banking and deliver interactive service experiences to its customers, FSS Voice Commerce is set to take frictionless banking to the next level. The launch took place at the Seamless Middle East event that was hosted in Dubai this year.

FSS Voice Commerce uses machine-learning language processing techniques for analysis and synthesis of language and speech to deliver personalized service experiences. Furthermore, with ML capabilities embedded into the solution, consumer patterns will begin to emerge and result in insight-led banking and personalized customer experiences. At the backend, FSS Voice Commerce interfaces with any retail banking system to provide real-time information of accounts and balances, thereby enabling delivery of a unified and seamless omni-channel banking experience.

FSS Voice Commerce supports an extensive set of 200 transactions, enabling seamless 24/7 secure access to a broad range of financial banking services such as fund transfers, bill payments, card controls and non-financial transactions such as service requests, like ordering for a cheque book, new credit / debit card and loan request.

Instances of use-cases include:

  • Drive Sales: Based on the recommendation engine and by transaction analysis, banks can craft a personalized offer to customers. E.g. special interest rates for fixed deposits, eligibility for personal loans etc.
  • Customer Support: Instead of customers reaching out to support centres of the banks to raise the services request, the customer can just log in to Alexa to raise the service request which will land on the bank CRM system to facilitate the customer request.
  • Lead Generation: Generate customer interest towards respective banking products/offers/cash backs through an advertisement.

All financial transactions initiated are completely secure. FSS Voice Commerce supports out-of-band multi-factor authentication including one-time passcodes and biometrics, to maintain the integrity of the transaction ecosystem and prevent fraud.

Speaking on the launch, Khaled Moharem, Regional General Manager – Middle East, FSS said, “In an era of rapid technology adoption, the transition from chat-bots to voice assistants is quite visible today. With data-driven banking services on the rise, the key is to offer personalized services and delve deeper into the lives of the consumer and create a seamless experience. Today, consumers demand services that are unified, accurate, quick and secure and our aim is to accentuate the process of frictionless banking to the next level with FSS Voice Commerce.”

Mimecast Recognized as a Leader in Information Archiving by Top Research Firms

Radicati Group Positions Mimecast Highly for Innovation and Customers Success

Dubai, UAE, April 11, 2019: Mimecast (NASDAQ: MIME), a leading email and data security company, today announced it has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™:  Information Archiving Cloud Providers, Q1 2019 and a Top Player in the Radicati Information Archiving – Market Quadrant, 2019.

According to the Forrester Wave, “Mimecast excels in customer support, user experience, and email protection”, while the Radicati Group highlighted how Mimecast’s integration of Security, Archiving,
Protection and Continuity means archives are fully accessible even during email outages and archived data remains fully protected against email-borne threats.

Organizations trust the guidance of industry analysts to make informed decisions. The reports provide a detailed evaluation of information archiving cloud providers and show how each one measures up, helping enterprise architecture professionals select the best solution for their needs.

“IT and governance teams around the world are facing ever-growing demands to gain more insights from their data while maintaining compliance and looking for help to tackle this challenge,” said Shane Harris, senior director of product management at Mimecast. “Thousands of our customers have transformed their approach to Archiving from legacy systems saving them time, money and maximize their IT resources. We have our customers to thank for all their great feedback on our next-generation product innovation, exemplary customer support, and advanced expertise across archiving, security and business continuity.”

In order to build the most efficient, cost-optimized and risk-adverse solutions for our customers, feedback is essential. Mimecast recently surveyed customers asking them to share their experiences with Mimecast
Cloud Archive and services in their own words.

When asked how likely Ken Gowling, an IT professional at Datacom Systems (NSW) Pty Ltd, would be to recommend Mimecast Cloud Archive he said ”I’ve not seen any other product that is as good as Mimecast for
any environment.” While, Deepak Vyas, an IT Specialist at City and Guilds of London Institute, noted that Mimecast Cloud Archive is “Much more efficient than [its competitors] at e-discovery and simplified tools with granular modification.”  

On the heels of these new reports from Forrester and Radicati, Mimecast was also recently named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Information Archiving for the fourth year in a row.

This industry recognition follows Mimecast’s recent acquisition of Simply Migrate, an innovative provider of archive data migration technology. This technology is engineered to further expand migration services for customers by helping to more effectively migrate data to the cloud – helping to reduce costs, safeguarding intellectual property, preserving institutional memory and accelerating E-discovery and archive compliance.

Mysk by Shaza Selected Amongst New Concept Brands at Arabian Hotel Investment Conference 2019

The upscale brand by Shaza Hotels was recently declared the winner of the pitch at SHIC in KSA 

Following its success at Saudi Arabia Hotel Investment Conference (SHIC), where Mysk by Shaza was voted the winner of the new concept brands pitch, the upscale brand will now make a pitch to owners at the Arabian Hotel Investment Conference (AHIC) in Ras Al Khaimah on 10th April 2019.

Chris Nader, Vice President – Development, Shaza Hotels, stated: “Mysk by Shaza has received considerable attention from the investment community following our win at SHIC and we are very excited to continue the conversation at AHIC which is expected to bring together more than 900 hotel investors, owners and operators. With various opportunities under discussion, we are looking forward to our participation at the conference, which is the largest in the region, to strengthen our growing network of partners as well as explore and forge new relationships.”  

A member of the Global Hotel Alliance, Mysk by Shaza has a strong development pipeline with several hotels coming up across the GCC. The brand, that began operation with the opening of the award-winning Mysk by Shaza Al Mouj in Muscat, recently announced its first property in Saudi Arabia with the signing of Mysk Jeddah which is its seventh in total. This year also marks the debut of Mysk in Sharjah with three retreats, namely Kingfisher Lodge in Kalba, Al Badayer Oasis in Al Badayer and Al Faya Lodge in Mleiha. In addition, two other Mysk properties are under development in Palm Jumeirah in Dubai and Kuwait that are scheduled to open by Q4 of 2019 and 2020 respectively.

Emphasising on the brand’s unique personality inspired by the Arabian lifestyle, Chris said: “The upscale segment is one of the fastest growing sectors in the GCC and represents a massive opportunity for us that we are eager to capitalise on. Mysk by Shaza has been designed to provide a distinct guest experience combined with a compelling investment proposition to owners. A significantly lower cost of development per key than expected for such a quality upscale hotel, better back of house efficiencies, reduced staff to key ratio and stronger ADR (Average Daily Rate) versus the competition allow us to deliver a strong return on investment.”
