Business Wire
C3 AI (NYSE:AI), the Enterprise AI application software company,
and NCS, a leading technology services provider and member of the
Singtel Group, today announced a strategic partnership focused on
delivering enterprise AI solutions to clients in Southeast Asia
(SEA) and Australia/New Zealand (ANZ) across multiple industries,
including telecommunications, government, financial services,
transportation, and more.
This agreement represents C3 AI’s first strategic partnership
with a telecommunications group. NCS will leverage its deep domain
experience and technology expertise in serving governments and
businesses in SEA and ANZ, investing up to S$10 million to develop
and deploy enterprise AI applications created on the C3 AI® Suite.
C3 AI’s solutions will also be deployed across Singtel, Optus, and
other affiliated telecommunications networks to bring the
advantages of enterprise AI to their operations and clients.
As the leader in enterprise AI applications, C3 AI’s offerings
include the C3 AI Suite, a powerful end-to-end enterprise AI
platform; C3 AI Ex Machina, a no-code solution that anyone can use
to generate actionable enterprise AI insights; C3 AI CRM, the first
enterprise AI-powered CRM solution custom-built for industries; and
a comprehensive inventory of pre-built enterprise AI applications.
These applications cover a broad range of use cases, such as C3 AI
Energy Management for optimizing energy consumption and carbon
emissions, C3 AI Predictive Maintenance to reduce unplanned machine
downtime, and C3 AI Fraud Detection for financial transactions.
“Our partnership with C3 AI reaffirms NCS’ commitment to build a
strong digital partner ecosystem that provides our clients access
to world-leading technologies and enterprise solutions,” said NCS
CEO Ng Kuo Pin. “We believe that the wave of enterprise-grade AI
solutions has arrived and are excited to work with our clients to
build the next generation of digital applications with enterprise
AI embedded. We look forward to playing our part to unleash the
transformative power of enterprise AI across governments and
enterprises in Asia-Pacific.”
In its 2021 Global CIO Agenda survey, Gartner found that SEA and
ANZ were among the fastest-growing regions in the world to apply
digitalization to optimize enterprise processes1. In addition, CIOs
in these regions identified Artificial Intelligence/Machine
Learning as a game-changing technology2. To capitalize on this
trend, C3 AI and NCS will establish a Center of Excellence together
to jointly explore new solutions that will accelerate the adoption
of enterprise AI and develop custom-built offerings tailored to the
business requirements of the Asia-Pacific market.
“Our Center of Excellence will bring together experts from C3 AI
and NCS to carefully study and respond to the specific needs of
organizations and industries in Southeast Asia, Australia, and New
Zealand,” said General Manager, Industries and Alliances at C3 AI
Gene Reznik. “This will allow us to better serve customers in SEA
and ANZ and provide them with the enterprise AI solutions they
require to achieve their digital transformation objectives.”
“Singtel and NCS are clear leaders in the deployment and
implementation of telecommunication and cloud solutions, and we are
incredibly excited to be joining forces with such a respected and
forward-looking partner,” said C3 AI Chairman and CEO Thomas M.
Siebel. “NCS’ focus on digital transformation will help drive
enterprise AI in Asia-Pacific, especially in the telecommunications
industry, on a massive scale.”
