HONG KONG, July 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Tencent Cloud, the cloud business of global technology company Tencent, today announced its recognition as a Challenger in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS). In terms of its ability to execute, Tencent Cloud has secured the highest position among all cloud service providers in the Asia-Pacific region.

According to another recent report by Gartner titled “Gartner, Market Share: All Software Markets, Worldwide, 2023,” Tencent has reaffirmed its status as the revenue market leader in the CPaaS industry for both the Asia-Pacific region and China in 2023. Notably, Tencent also achieved the highest growth rate by revenue worldwide. We believe, this consistent success demonstrates Tencent Cloud’s unwavering position as the market leader in the Asia-Pacific region for three consecutive years in terms of market share in the CPaaS field.

With an extensive CPaaS product portfolio, Tencent Cloud is engaged in proactive efforts to achieve seamless integration with AIGC

Based on Tencent’s accumulated expertise in audio & video technologies for over 20 years, Tencent Cloud has built the most comprehensive CPaaS capability portfolio in the industry, encompassing core products such as Chat, Tencent Real-Time Communication (TRTC), Tencent Cloud Contact Center (TCCC), and more. These offerings provide a wide range of communication and collaboration capabilities for businesses.

In today’s world, with the continuous development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, AIGC (Artificial Intelligence Generated Content) has matured and is now being widely applied across various industries and scenarios. It has become an important driver for enterprises’ innovation and to achieve their digital transformation. In this field, Tencent Cloud is actively promoting the deep integration of audio & video services with AIGC technology, providing powerful audio & video technical support for multiple industry scenarios.

Within this context, Chat provides valuable features such as Chatbot and Agent Dashboard, empowering enterprises to swiftly implement chatbot conversations, FAQs, and seamless transfer to live customer service agents. Currently, Chat has successfully served over 200,000 enterprises, handling a staggering daily peak message volume exceeding 550 billion messages. Its international platform has garnered millions of users worldwide.

Tencent Cloud’s TRTC focuses on providing audio & video interactive solutions for two major scenarios: multi-party audio & video calls and low-latency interactive live streaming. It supports up to 3 billion minutes of upstream duration daily. In real-world testing, TRTC demonstrates an over 80% packet loss resistance and can tolerate network jitter of over 1000ms. This means that users can maintain high-quality audio & video communication even in weak network conditions. Additionally, TRTC has implemented an innovative conversational AI solution that enables LLM (Large Language Model) vendors to streamline the development of real-time audio & video interactive features. This groundbreaking solution empowers users to engage in seamless, real-time interactions with AI through more intuitive and natural means, such as voice communication.

Tencent Cloud’s TCCC harnesses the power of advanced AI technology to greatly enhance the effectiveness of intelligent voice interactions. By improving recognition accuracy in noisy environments, it offers a comprehensive optimization of the speech recognition experience, achieving an impressive accuracy rate of 97.4%. Moreover, for enterprises that have implemented AI chatbots, TCCC seamlessly integrates real-time conversation flows to cater to personalized requirements.

Upgraded global service capabilities to empower the internationalization of enterprises

It is worth mentioning that in response to the internationalization needs of global enterprises, Tencent Cloud is continuously enhancing its global service capabilities to assist businesses in exploring new growth opportunities.

For example, Tencent Cloud has been continuously strengthening its Chat’s capabilities in global network transmission, offering exceptional global acceleration services. Serving more than 100 million monthly active users worldwide, Tencent Cloud’s Chat not only meets the compliance requirements of enterprises expanding internationally but also aligns closely with local users’ usage habits.

TRTC has undergone extensive upgrades and transformations to boost its audio & video services for global use. It has achieved remarkable results, with an average end-to-end transmission delay of less than 300ms and an impressive anti-packet loss rate of over 80%. This ensures that users across different regions can enjoy a highly responsive and low-latency audio & video experience. Additionally, TRTC has established dedicated overseas sites tailored to various scenarios, offering a range of products such as Call, Conference, Beauty AR, and RTC Engine. Through the creation of a new audio & video service brand, the provision of exceptional user interface and localized functionalities, TRTC facilitates the rapid expansion of enterprises into international markets.

TCCC has made significant strides in enhancing its internationalization capabilities through a series of upgrades. It has successfully established independent data centers globally to comply with regional regulations and requirements. With a well-designed global node layout, TCCC delivers highly interconnected, reliable, and secure global customer contact services. It ensures that international connections maintain an average end-to-end latency of under 300 milliseconds, guaranteeing smooth and efficient communication. TCCC offers versatile omni-channel and multimedia communication capabilities that seamlessly integrate with existing business systems. This empowers enterprises to integrate their own international voice numbers and swiftly establish efficient global contact centers, allowing them to effectively serve their international customer base.

Currently, Tencent Cloud has served numerous industries in the fields of gaming, live streaming, cross-border e-commerce, finance, and more. These include Nexon, a gaming giant in the Asia-Pacific region, leading live streaming platform MIXCHANNEL in Japan, streaming service provider BeLive in Singapore, digital bank Allo Bank in Indonesia, as well as Boomplay, a music streaming platform in Africa. Tencent Cloud has provided comprehensive, user-friendly, and stable audio & video communication solutions, supporting the international business expansion of these enterprises.

Allo Bank, a prime example, benefits from Tencent Cloud’s TCCC by utilizing its automatic outbound calling capabilities to overcome challenges faced by their tele-sales team, such as low call connection rates and high manual dialing costs. TCCC leverages advanced predictive outbound calling algorithms to intelligently schedule calls, resulting in improved agent productivity and service quality. Furthermore, TCCC seamlessly integrates with Allo Bank’s CRM system, providing the necessary flexibility to adapt to their specific business scenarios. By combining TCCC with Tencent Cloud’s TRTC and Chat capabilities, Allo Bank can offer a comprehensive range of customer service methods, enabling them to efficiently respond to customer needs. This integrated approach warrants enhanced customer satisfaction and streamlines communication processes for Allo Bank.

Undoubtedly, establishing an international business landscape from a global perspective has become a vital strategic endeavor for enterprises seeking high-quality development. In this journey, AIGC is a vital driving force, enabling businesses to consistently expand the scope and impact of their innovative initiatives. As a committed participant in the CPaaS domain and a reliable business partner, Tencent Cloud remains dedicated to technological advancements, product refinement, and solution development, enabling enterprises to play well in the process of digital transformation and business globalization.

eSign.AI Named Sole Electronic Signature Technology Provider for Hong Kong Government’s CorpID Project, Building the Foundation for Digital Signing Infrastructure in Hong Kong

Published

on

By

HONG KONG, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Hong Kong’s Digital Corporate Identity Platform (CorpID) counts down to its phased launch, eSign.AI has been appointed as the sole electronic signature vendor in the project, responsible for delivering core digital signing capabilities including digital signatures, certificate management, and signature verification services. CorpID is led by Nexify, a seasoned government systems integrator, as the prime contractor. The platform is expected to launch in phases starting late 2026, with multiple CorpID-based e-government services going live in mid-2027.

CorpID: Government-Grade Digital Identity Infrastructure for Hong Kong Enterprises

The Digital Corporate Identity Platform (CorpID) is an enterprise-level digital services platform launched by the Hong Kong SAR Government, developed under the oversight of the Digital Policy Office (DPO). It is designed to serve as the business equivalent of “iAM Smart,” providing a unified digital identity foundation for Hong Kong enterprises. CorpID’s core mission is to build an integrated digital government infrastructure — offering unified identity authentication, digital signing, form pre-filling, and e-licence storage — replacing paper-heavy, cumbersome traditional processes and enabling smart city development through seamless data connectivity.

The platform is open to companies incorporated under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) and businesses registered under the Business Registration Ordinance (Cap. 310), including sole proprietorships and partnerships. The DPO requires all enterprise-related e-government services to support CorpID within 18 months of launch, and will continue expanding ecosystem coverage through sandbox initiatives, cross-industry identity standard interoperability, and fully online registration processes.

eSign.AI: The Digital Signing Engine Behind CorpID

eSign.AI is an AI-native electronic signature and contract automation platform built for enterprises worldwide, offering a complete signing framework from simple electronic signatures to the highest-level compliant digital signatures — meeting diverse regulatory requirements across industries and jurisdictions.

On the identity verification front, eSign.AI has completed integration with iAM Smart, enabling individual identity verification through Hong Kong’s citizen digital identity system, and providing legally valid digital certificate services for both enterprises and individuals.

Looking ahead, the eSign.AI SaaS platform will be deeply integrated with CorpID, providing enterprise and individual identity verification for Hong Kong businesses, and supporting both electronic and digital signing that complies with Hong Kong’s Electronic Transactions Ordinance — connecting the full digital contracting lifecycle for government and enterprise alike.

Getting Ahead of the AI Era: From eSignGlobal to eSign.AI

The electronic signature industry is undergoing a structural shift from “tooling” to “intelligence.” Market data underscores this acceleration: the AI-powered contract analysis tools market has grown from USD 3.32 billion in 2025 to USD 4.3 billion in 2026, at a CAGR of 29.6%. Signing is just one node in the contract lifecycle — document generation, workflow orchestration, compliance tracking, and post-execution management are all being transformed by AI, and the industry window is closing fast.

In April 2026, the company officially rebranded from eSignGlobal to eSign.AI, completing its strategic transformation from an e-signature tool provider to an AI-native contract automation platform. As the company’s spokesperson noted, this rebrand is not cosmetic — it is an acknowledgment of where the product actually is. Customers were already using eSign.AI to automate workflows that go far beyond the signature itself.

eSign Automation Skill was launched alongside the rebrand — an AI-powered signing automation framework for enterprise workflows that enables complete contract signing through natural language interaction, with no manual intervention required. Whether it is single-party approval, multi-party sequential signing, or large-scale parallel execution, an AI Agent can orchestrate the entire workflow in a single call. All signature initiations and status queries return structured JSON outputs, directly parseable by leading large language models and intelligent workflow systems.

eSign Automation is now available in the OpenClaw ecosystem and supports integration via Claude MCP, ChatGPT, and other leading AI platforms.

By combining AI automation capabilities with CorpID’s government-grade digital identity infrastructure, eSign.AI delivers a complete solution for Hong Kong enterprises — from identity verification to intelligent signing to full workflow automation.

About eSign.AI

eSign.AI (formerly eSignGlobal) is an AI-native electronic signature and contract automation platform built for enterprises worldwide. The platform serves over 100 countries and regions, covering core industries including financial services, manufacturing, real estate, human resources, and healthcare — with 1,500+ scenario applications and 3,000+ ecosystem partners. eSign.AI holds ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and ISO 27018 certifications and supports major regulatory frameworks including the U.S. ESIGN Act / UETA, EU eIDAS, HIPAA, GDPR, and 21 CFR Part 11. Infrastructure is anchored by independent data centers in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Frankfurt, Germany.

SINGAPORE, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The winners of the 2026 German Red Dot Design Award were officially announced. Five of SUNMI Technology’s flagship products won awards: the CPad Business Tablet, CPad PAY, FLEX 3 Interactive Display, the V3 handheld POS Terminal and L3 Industrial PDA. These products stood out with three core design concepts: integration, versatility and human-centricity.

Known as “The Oscars” of global industrial design, the Red Dot Award has strict evaluation criteria covering aesthetics, ergonomics, scenario adaptability and sustainability. SUNMI adheres to original commercial scenario customization, rejecting crudely modified consumer devices. All winning products are originally developed for real commercial scenarios such as cash register, food delivery, industrial inspection and store operations, covering the entire commercial track with high scenario adaptability. Meanwhile, it practices ESG concepts, adopting eco-friendly materials and modular structures to extend equipment service life, reduce consumable consumption, and implement low-carbon and long-term design, which perfectly meets the Red Dot’s sustainability evaluation criteria.

Simplify Complexity: With highly integrated design, SUNMI eliminates the “patchwork feeling” of cluttered devices and tangled cables in traditional commercial scenarios, streamlining store operations and saving space.All-in-One Versatility: Beyond a single tool function, SUNMI’s products achieve flexible transformation through modular and multi-form designs to proactively adapt to changing business needs. The CPad series with modular accessories and FLEX 3’s Lego-style modular design enable multi-scenario application and long-term reuse.Human-Centric Design: Every detail is human-oriented, focusing on real pain points to enhance scenario experience. The L3 Industrial PDA reduces high-frequency work fatigue through scientific weight distribution; the V3 Smart POS Terminal balances large-screen visibility and grip comfort; CPad PAY integrates full-link functions to simplify workflows.

These honors stem from SUNMI’s long-term commitment to a sustainable society, original commercial R&D and ESG. In the future, SUNMI will uphold its core concepts, expand the boundaries of commercial industrial design, and empower global businesses with user-oriented, eco-friendly and high-value products.
