4 APAC / 2017 Singapore Business Awards , ASB17003 Best Broker-Dealer Software Company 2017 ANALEC is a leading financial technology company offering platforms and solutions in the investment research and related client servicing space, working with a range of brokerdealers and investment banks globally. We spoke to Indy Sarker to learn more about the firm and the range of services it offers. ANALEC is a financial technology company that provides an investment research management and CRM solution for broker-dealers and investment banks. A wide range of clients license the firm’s platforms and their capabilities and ANALEC also provides a range of customized services to support their usage and adoption of its solutions. Indy discusses the secrets behind the firm’s success so far. “Here at ANALEC, we believe intelligent technology solutions in our customer segment and category will go a long way to address the twin objectives (sometimes conflicting) of lower cost of business and raising revenue generation prospects at our customer organizations. “Personally, I believe that we are rated very highly by our customers for our deep domain knowledge of their businesses and devising innovative solutions to meet their present and impending business challenges. We pay careful attention to our customer needs at all times and continuously reflect customer feedback into our products and platforms. Our customer engagement at multiple levels across the firm, even after having secured them as a customer, ensures their priorities are never missed by us; their technology partner. “Overall, the greatest reward has always been a stable of satisfied customers who are always putting in a good word for us; helping us grow our business. We value our client relationships and strive hard to continuously meet their expectations.” With an ambitious mission to lead the competitive market in which it operates, ANALEC has to rely on dedicated, professional staff, as Indy explains. “Our firm’s mission is to be the technology solution provider of choice to the global broker-dealer and investment banking community, in the area of investment research management and client servicing CRM solutions. “To achieve our mission, we put in place a value system at the time of founding the enterprise 13 years back. That value system still guides us in our daily decision-making and in our pursuit of our goals and objectives. Our value system revolves around our Customers; People; Integrity; Leadership; Meritocracy; and Global Culture. Every time we go out to recruit talent, we ask ourselves – Will this individual uphold our value system and contribute to our organization in an enduringly positive fashion? “As such, we hire top talent who are not only competent, but ambitious enough to excel in an international stage; while upholding our value system. Our efforts have helped us build a cohesive team environment and helped retain our top talent successfully over the years.” ANALEC, from its very inception, has been engineered to fight above its weight in the market place. Indy outlines how the internal culture of ANALEC has been built on a fundamental belief that if you put your mind and energies to work in the pursuit of a goal, almost every obstacle and hurdle can be navigated successfully. “First and foremost, we look for the right attitude fit when hiring talent into the firm. We look for excellence in past pursuits, professional or otherwise; and then focus on competence around the job requirement. As an emerging company, we are always looking to hand incremental responsibilities to our star-performers and at the same time create management and execution depth in the ranks. “The culture of the firm has been built around the pursuit of customer satisfaction. Our ability to continuously and successfully meet our customer expectations over the years has been made possible by our core team of starperformers who have been with the company for almost 10 years. “To retain this culture we have, over the years, built an internal talent pool via hiring individuals with high potential and taking them through a training and development cycle and then providing meaningful involvement in actual client execution mandates. Such an approach has helped us build talent swiftly as well as create high levels of motivation at the individual end to excel on the job. “We provide a sense of ownership to our teams and proactively recognize talent and individuals who excel in living up to our values and ideals. Additionally, as a firm we have over the years delivered significant ownership of equity in the company to key individuals thereby creating a relationship that is more than that of an employer-employee but more

6 APAC / 2017 Singapore Business Awards along the lines of stakeholders and partners in the business.” What sets the firm apart from its competitors is a combination of its product offering and ability to positively impact on customers’ business and the firm’s customer engagement model delivering flexibility and adaptability at all times, as Indy discusses. “ANALEC’S product offering is unique because we are the only financial technology firm in our segment that has developed capability across investment research workflow management as well as customer relationship management (CRM); offered either as an integrated offering or as stand-alone deployments. Few years back we took the call that technology decisions in the research and CRM space in the broker-dealer industry would converge (and not run on parallel tracks, as has historically been the case). In the recent years, this convergence has been further pronounced due to cost pressures in the industry, as well as challenges posed by regulation (i.e., MiFID II) and competitive pressures (i.e., “commission unbundling”). “When it comes to capability requirements to meet our customers’ impending and strategic goals (via use of technology) as well as their increasingly demanding totalcost-of-ownership criteria on technology solutions, we believe we stand-out as a technology partner of choice in the market place. We are able to deliver more capability at lower costs while delivering bespoke development and delivery capability to support our customer’s specific needs.” Looking ahead, Indy is keen to emphasise the firm’s ongoing focus on growth and expansion as he showcases some of the highlights from its future plan. “ANALEC is extremely bullish on its 4-5-year outlook, driven by its geographic expansion plans as well as new initiatives to potentially add to our Fintech portfolio. On the geographic expansion plans, ANALEC continues to progress in North America and recently set up a London office to pursue growing opportunities in UK and continental Europe. We believe we are extremely well placed in the competitive landscape in both these geographic regions to significantly grow our presence over the next 3-5 years. “With regards to innovation, we have a continuous and aggressive innovation pipeline on our existing offering to reflect better ways of delivering a world class product offering at our customers to their client base, as well as reflect requests from our customer organizations within our product features. On both counts, our customers have always favourably commented on our ability to swiftly address their needs and aspirations, when compared to our competitors in the market place. “Ultimately, we are also looking at ways to grow our Fintech proposition in the market place and in that respect, we have various evaluations underway currently. We have recently hired a senior professional to look at strategic initiatives at the firm to continue our pursuit of growing our proposition in the market place.”

8 APAC / 2017 Singapore Business Awards , Founded in 1998, Conergy has pioneered the expansion of solar globally and has built over 1.5 GW across six continents. Within Asia Pacific, the firm has closed over 460 MWp of EPC contracts and has provided operations and maintenance services for over 400 MWp of solar projects. Since its inception in 1998, the company has pioneered the expansion of solar power internationally, and today combines innovative technology, industry-leading engineering with access to capital, as Alexander outlines. “While our corporate mission is to harness the sun, to preserve the planet and power the world, we have achieved significant milestones, such as building one of the first utility-scale solar plants in Thailand in 2010. Since then our installed capacity in Thailand has risen to 132 MWp. In 2016, Conergy built 274MWp of solar capacity in the Philippines, making Conergy the market leader in the country for solar EPC services. Among these was the SACASOL plant, the first utility-scale commercial solar plant in the country built in San Carlos City, Negros.” “This is achieved through our deep understanding of our customers’ businesses and our uncompromising focus on quality, cost optimization and discipline in implementing best ASB17006 Best Downstream Solar Company 2017 Conergy is one of the world’s largest downstream solar companies, specializing in the development, design, finance, build and long-term asset management of commercial, industrial and utility-scale solar power systems. We spoke to Alexander Lenz, President for APAC, to learn more. practice processes in our global and local delivery centers. This has enabled us to build for our customers commercially successful solar plants that not only operate with high efficiencies and power availability but also generate the highest possible yields.” With over 18 years of experience in the solar photovoltaics industry, which includes a storied history of manufacturing all of the key solar components from modules, mounting structures and inverters in Germany, Conergy has evolved into one of the world’s largest downstream solar companies specializing in the development, design, finance, build and long-term asset management of commercial, industrial and utilityscale solar power systems. With one of the industry’s most advanced and complete portfolio of solar services and solutions, Conergy is uniquely equipped to help financial and strategic investors meet and maximize their asset investment targets as well as provide profitable services to energy providers and their customers. Alexander outlines how the firm uses these features to mark itself out as the best possible option for clients. “As a company with roots in Germany, the services we extend and the workmanship of the plants we build are characterized by high quality and reliability. Furthermore, in terms of engineering, our plants are so well designed to maximize output and therefore revenues for the plant owner. Our German knowhow/expertise and both global and local knowledge are second to none.” “Additionally, as a global company we operate at a scale and volume that cannot be easily replicated which means that we are able to source key solar components at extremely competitive rates. These savings we are able to pass to our customers. So this is why we are able to provide quality components and services to our customers and still remain competitive on price – because we are able to leverage on the economies of scale benefits by virtue of being a global solar player.” Moving forward, the firm is eager to build upon its current success, as Alexander outlines in his concluding comments. “In Singapore, we have an exciting upcoming project which will provide us with many great opportunities for growth. Within the business as a whole, we are looking to potentially generate more revenue from project development in addition to our traditional EPC and O & M businesses, and our future market focus will expectedly change from primarily the Philippines/Thailand to include other Asian countries.” Company: Conergy Asia & ME Contact: Michelle Gozum Contact Email: [email protected] Address: 80 Anson Rd, 079907, Singapore Phone: 65 6849 5540

Nastrac Group is composed of a highly diverse group of professionals and as a certified minority and women owned business enterprise, the group provides a unique cultural perspective that enables the team to build effective and lasting D&I solutions to clients.

These figures highlight the ever growing popularity of ebooks, despite the fact that printed books remain the dominant market player. Melvin outlines the latest innovations firm has implemented in order to take advantage of the surge in popularity of ebooks, as well as discussing the other factors which were critical to the company’s success. “Our digital platform has the ability to loan out ebooks and etextbooks with a time limit function and allow readers to read both offline and online. In addition, our platform has vast collections from all over the world including publications from Singapore (SingTitle) and South East Asia (SEA). Our local technical support in multilingual language and the ability to customized solution for individual libraries also plays a key importance in our product support. “Knowing the local market requirements was also a key factor in our success, and as such we work hard to understand our region and the opportunities we are presented with.

10 APAC / 2017 Singapore Business Awards , Wee Care is an early childhood company in Singapore that provides early childhood services (such as preschool, playgroup and creative enrichment programmes) as well as early intervention classes (such as behaviour therapy and social skills training). We invited Founder Dr Denise Lai to talk us through the firm’s approach. Established in 1996, Wee Care was, at the time, the only company in Singapore that provided infant classes and the second in Singapore providing behaviour therapy programmes for children with Autistic Spectrum conditions. This pioneering, child-focused approach has remained and it is this, that is the secret behind the firm’s success, as Denise outlines. “At Wee Care, children are not seen as passive organisms that need to be filled with knowledge. Rather, they are active learners who bring their ideas, words, home experiences, personalities, etc. to each and every learning situation. “Personally, I believe that Wee Care parents place a great deal of value on good-quality early experiences that honour children as unique individuals and which give them repeated opportunities to think and construct meaning in their environment; that is, what they are seeing, hearing, touching, and so on. As such, Wee Care’s Mission is to give all children an equal opportunity to learn in a safe and secure environment so as to graduate as Brief Academy provides the highest quality leadership development, coaching, training and career services possible that deeply impact individuals, transforms organizations and produces significant and lasting results. Simon Lee tells us more. BRIEF Academy was founded on the passion and desire to spread the effective use of the solution focused approach throughout the Asia Pacific Region and to help clients successfully apply this approach. Simon discusses the approach and how it ensures clients receive the very best service possible. “Here at BRIEF Academy, we use strength-based coaching to help our clients achieve peak performance, improve their level of productivity, with results that positively impact their bottom-line. Our Intensive Coach Certification program is now offered in collaboration with The University of Toronto (OISE). Where certification of coaches is concerned, we are the only organization that has our intensive coach training program recognized by three major accreditation bodies (CCPC Global, ICF and AC UK). “Overall, we are very pleased with our performance currently, as we are creating ripples of Solution Focused movement across Asia Pacific, helping organizations create and sustain a strength-based coaching culture. Some of our successes include Petronas, having trained more than 10,000 employees since 2005. In addition, our Career Management and Coaching Skills workshops in Asia has helped many organisations (DSO Nat Lab, HP, RHB Bank, Sarawak Energy, ST Electronics, etc) with their talent retention.” Looking to the future Simon foresees a number of exciting developments within the industry which he is keen to take advantage of. “Within the corporate coaching market, external coaches such as myself and my team at BRIEF Academy continue to be in demand because of the increased awareness of the benefits of coaching as a developmental tool for senior executives. External coaches are more attractive to senior leaders because of the confidentiality of the nature of the coaching partnership. Also, external coaches bring to the table an outside perspective and clients are more open to sharing intimate information. Research has shown that 40% of global leaders assigned to either new positions or overseas assignments fail after 18 months and therefore, targeted external coaching interventions with such global leaders can help to avoid disastrous consequences and ensure success. “Therefore, looking ahead, BRIEF Academy will be looking to take advantage of these developments, and to discuss our exciting new plans and service offerings as we seek to build upon our current success.” Company: BRIEF Academy Pte Ltd Name: Simon Lee Email: [email protected] Web Address: www.briefacademy.com Address: 8 Temasek Boulevard, #42-01 Suntec Tower Three, Singapore 038988 Telephone: +65-6829 2287 Mobile: +65-9851 9609 Best for Leadership Development Services 2017 N confident, capable, articulate and creative individuals with a clear, strong sense of self and purpose.” Moving forward, the firm will continue to adapt and grow as it seeks to support parents and their children across the APAC Region, as Denise concludes. “As a proactive and committed business Wee Care is always looking to share our expertise with schools, teachers and families outside of Singapore. Over the years, we have had the privilege of working with a very broad range of institutions in India, Indonesia and Cambodia. “Looking ahead, we will be continuing with these projects in order to support more clients and their children. In Singapore, we will also be launching a Lego Club on the 25th of March 2017, a social group that will have groups of neurotypical and special children working together to build Lego projects. We are always looking for new ways of engaging our children constructively to learn important social-emotional skills. Like its proponents in the UK and US, we believe that Lego - being a huge motivator for many children - will be an important pivot in our continued quest to introduce innovative pedagogies that are both inspiring and effective.” Company: Wee Care (Singapore) Pte Ltd Contact: Dr Denise Lai, Ed.D.
