HANOI and HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Aug. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On August 7, 2024, CMC Telecom’s Tan Thuan Data Center officially achieved the Uptime Tier III Certification for Operational Sustainability (TCOS), became the first Data Center in Vietnam to achieve TCOS and hold the full portfolio of three certifications for Design, Construction, and Operations.

To accomplish the first TCOS from the Uptime Institute in Vietnam, CMC Telecom Data Center (DC) team underwent a preparation and implementation process that lasts 8 months, including infrastructure  and more than 100 standard operating procedures and documents. Tan Thuan DC successfully fulfilled  89 stringent standards checklist according to the Uptime assessment framework, and officially received the Operational Sustainability certification at 3:23 AM on August 7, 2024.

At its inauguration in August 2022, CMC Data Center Tan Thuan became the first data center in Vietnam to simultaneously hold two important Uptime Tier III certifications for Design and Construction. After two years, the CMC engineering team has continued to demonstrate to the Uptime Institute that the operational capabilities of Tan Thuan data center have reached the highest level according to global standards and all the stringent criteria for evaluating the sustainable operation of data centers —Tier Certification of Operational Sustainability (TCOS) from the Uptime Institute.

The Uptime TCOS (Tier Certification of Operational Sustainability) certification, issued by the Uptime Institute, focuses on evaluating and validating the sustainable operational capabilities of data centers. This certification not only examines the design and construction of the data center but also assesses operational and management aspects to ensure that the data center can maintain stable and continuous operations over the long term. The Uptime’s assessment approach will concentrate on: Managing risks associated with data center operations, Implementing effective operational and maintenance processes and procedures, Training operational personnel, and ensuring continuous operation 24/7/365 even in emergencies.

Uptime Institute is a leading global organization famous for its certification system, recognized as a global benchmark for assessing the readiness and overall performance of data centers, from design and construction to operations. According to Uptime Institute, Asian countries and cities strong in data storage, such as Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and even Japan, still do not have any data centers that meet Tier 3 – TCOS standards. Tan Thuan Data Center proudly stands among the few data centers in the Asian region that hold three certifications in Design, Construction, and Operations.

According to Mr. Dang Tung Son – Deputy CEO/Chief Sales and Marketing Officer of CMC Telecom: “Becoming the first Data center to achieve TCOS and holding the full set of three Uptime certifications (TCCF, TDD, and TCOS) confirms our commitment to build a leading digital infrastructure system  in the region. This marks a significant milestone in CMC Telecom’s journey to becoming a Comprehensive Services Provider. Operational upgrades are also a part of our strategy to deliver excellent customer experience, providing high-quality, internationally-standard services to financial institutions, leading enterprises and organizations in the region.”

CMC Telecom currently has the top number of experts with  international certifications, including two CDCE (Certified Data Center Expert) certifications, regarded as the “PhDs of Data Centers,” along with other certifications such as CDCP, CDRP, CDCS, CDFOM, and CDMS, which are designed for specialists in operations, risk management, and data center migration. Mr. Lê Minh Hiếu, Data Center Director at CMC Telecom, who is one of the first three Vietnamese individuals to hold the CDCE certification, stated: “Investing in people is the key factor in establishing a world-class data center. We would like to thank Uptime for their rigorous and meticulous evaluation system that allows our technical team to transform through challenges. CMC Telecom team has learned from the assessments and gained a deep understanding of sustainable operations following the highest international standards.”

In June 2024, the CMC Data Center Tan Thuan was recognized as the first data center in Vietnam to achieve Level 4 of  Information System Security Standards, validated by the Ministry of Information and Communications in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of National Defense. The CMC Telecom Data Center, certified at Level 4, is designed to serve large-scale users with specific requirements, including government agencies, public administration, finance, banking, and e-commerce. Founded in 2008, CMC Corporation  established CMC Telecom with the  mission as an ISP and Internet service provider. After 16 years, CMC Telecom has become a Comprehensive Service Provider, offering Connectivity, Data Center, Cloud/Multi-Cloud, Information Security, and Managed Services that focus on serving enterprise customers in high-demand sectors such as finance, banking, energy, manufacturing, retail, and logistics.

LG’s AI-Powered Platform Recognized for Measuring
the Real-World Impact of Communications

News Summary

LG Electronics’ PRISM AI has won Gold in the Best Use of AI in Communication Measurement category and Silver in both the Best Use of a Measurement Framework category and the Step Change Award at the 2026 AMEC Global Communication Effectiveness Awards.The platform was recognized for its data-handling and impact measurement, which have helped expand LG’s media monitoring from 53 to 200 countries and cut reporting time from about one month to one hour.A notable example of LG Group’s focus on AI transformation (AX), PRISM AI has now been recognized by two major international industry awards this year, including the Best AI Tool or Product category at the 2026 IN2 SABRE Awards Asia-Pacific.

SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics (LG) today announced that PRISM AI, its AI-powered communications measurement platform, has won three honors at the 2026 AMEC Global Communication Effectiveness Awards. The awards are presented by AMEC, the International Association for the Measurement and Evaluation of Communication.

The platform earned Gold in the Best Use of AI in Communication Measurement category and Silver in both the Best Use of a Measurement Framework category and the Step Change Award, which recognizes the best improvement of a measurement journey. The accolades highlight PRISM AI’s potential as a reference point for the public relations and communications industry.

How the Awards Were Judged

This year, the AMEC Global Communication Effectiveness Awards adopted a threshold-based judging model, under which each entry is evaluated against fixed criteria for excellence rather than against other entries. To protect the integrity of the process, judges are not permitted to use generative AI tools to support or inform their evaluations.

The judging places the greatest emphasis on real-world effectiveness: how reliable the findings are, whether they were acted on, and how they shape future communications planning and strategy. These priorities are reflected in PRISM AI’s approach, with its integrated measurement methodology and multilingual contextual analysis designed to address these criteria, delivering dependable measurement and insights that inform business decisions.

Measuring Impact, Not Just Volume

PRISM AI measures the impact of communications, not just the volume of coverage. The platform is built around three core concepts from AMEC’s Barcelona Principles 3.0: outcomes over outputs, quality plus quantity, and transparency. To put these principles into practice, it uses a dual-metric system made up of the PR Score and the Communications Impact Index.

Underpinning this approach is the platform’s ability to handle data at scale. To track coverage across a fragmented global media landscape, PRISM AI processes large volumes of articles in real time and uses large language models to interpret coverage across languages and markets, producing more meaningful and comparable insights.

Measurable Gains in Efficiency and Reliability

Since its introduction, PRISM AI has improved the efficiency and reliability of LG’s global communications workflows. Its AI-powered filtering removes more than 78 percent of spam and irrelevant content with over 95 percent accuracy. Media monitoring now covers 200 countries, up from 53, and tracked brands have grown from 5 to 30. The time spent on reporting has been reduced from approximately one month to one hour.

Growing International Recognition

As LG Group advances AI transformation (AX) across its businesses, PRISM AI has become an internationally recognized example of AI-driven data collection and analysis in a specialized professional field. The AMEC recognition follows the platform’s win in the Best AI Tool or Product category at the 2026 IN2 SABRE Awards Asia-Pacific, held in Singapore this August.

“Winning three AMEC Awards for PRISM AI is especially meaningful, not only because it highlights our efforts in advancing AI-powered communications measurement, but also because the recognition comes directly from the PR industry’s most respected global body,” said Cho Jung-bum, head of the AX Center at LG Electronics. “We will continue to refine PRISM AI’s methodology while expanding its capabilities and scope, further enhancing its value as a solution for driving better business decisions.”

New asset tracking solution helps organisations locate and manage valuable powered and non-powered assets across distributed operations

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Geotab, a global leader in connected operations, video telematics and AI-powered insights, today announced the launch of GO Anywhere Plus in Malaysia, expanding access to enhanced asset tracking capabilities that help organisations better monitor and manage valuable powered and non-powered assets across their operations.

Malaysia’s transportation and storage sector continued to expand in 2025. According to the Department of Statistics Malaysia, the transportation and storage subsector grew by 9.0% in 2025, following 10.9% growth in 2024.

For organisations managing vehicles, trailers, equipment and other valuable assets across multiple locations, maintaining visibility can help businesses better understand how resources are deployed and utilised. This comes as Malaysia continues to advance the adoption of smarter logistics technologies, with the Malaysian Investment Development Authority highlighting real-time tracking of goods and assets as one capability that can support greater visibility across logistics operations.

While organisations may use telematics to monitor fleet vehicles, non-powered assets such as trailers, containers and equipment may require different approaches to maintaining visibility. GO Anywhere Plus brings fleet and asset intelligence together, giving organisations greater insight into asset location and usage across their operations.

Fully integrated with MyGeotab®, GO Anywhere Plus enables organisations to manage vehicles and assets through a single platform. Beyond location tracking, the solution provides insights into asset usage, including ignition status and engine hours for powered equipment, to support maintenance planning, asset recovery and more effective resource allocation.

“As Malaysia’s logistics ecosystem evolves, organisations are looking at how technology and data can support more efficient management of the assets behind their operations,” said Ezanne Soh, Associate Vice President, Southeast Asia, Geotab. “For businesses managing vehicles alongside equipment and other mobile assets, bringing fleet and asset intelligence together can provide a clearer operational picture. Greater insight into how assets are deployed and utilised can help organisations make more informed decisions and manage resources more effectively.”

Helping Organisations Improve Asset Visibility and Resource Utilisation

As organisations manage assets across different locations and operations, understanding where those assets are and how they are being utilised can support better deployment decisions, equipment availability and resource allocation.

GO Anywhere Plus helps organisations:

Know Where Assets Are: Monitor the location of powered and non-powered assets through a single platform.Maximise Asset Utilisation: Better understand asset usage to support deployment decisions, improve productivity and reduce unnecessary expenditure.Protect Valuable Equipment: Support the recovery of misplaced or stolen assets while reducing time spent searching for critical equipment.

Together, these capabilities give organisations greater oversight of valuable assets across their operations, helping them manage resources more effectively.

The launch of GO Anywhere Plus further expands Geotab’s connected operations capabilities in Malaysia, helping organisations bring fleet and asset data together to support more efficient, connected operations.
