HONG KONG , Sept. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On September 11, 2024, the 9th “Belt and Road Summit” grandly held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. As a platinum sponsor, China Telecom Global showcased its comprehensive strengths and significant achievements along the Belt and Road Initiative under the theme “Integrated Cloud and Network for a Smarter Belt & Road.” The presentation highlighted the exciting stories of how cloud-network integration empowers enterprises on their Silk Road journey, focusing on the renewal and upgrade of China Telecom’s overseas mobile business. The company conveyed its beautiful vision of contributing to the construction of the “Digital Silk Road” through world-class digital intelligence technology services.

Deepening the Silk Road: Global Services and Inclusive Digital Practices

During the event, China Telecom Global set up a themed exhibition titled “Integrated Cloud and Network for a Smarter Belt & Road,” divided into three main sections: “Company Brand and Global Infrastructure Capability,” “Integrated Cloud and Network Empowering Enterprises on the Silk Road,” and “Oversea Mobile Services Upgrade.”

The exhibition emphasized strong connections through infrastructure, highlighted the “Cloud Engine” as a smart enabler across seas, showcased global benchmark cases of “Quality Service,” and presented the “New Start” of overseas mobile business as a breakthrough. This comprehensive display illustrated China Telecom’s extensive efforts over more than twenty years along the Silk Road.

Since establishing its first overseas office in 2000, and with the launch of Tiantong Satellite Services in Hong Kong in 2024, China Telecom has steadily advanced its international operations. Over the past two decades, the company has actively built a high-quality foundational network covering countries and regions along the Belt and Road Initiative, increasing its efforts in new infrastructure development and continuously strengthening its layout of core resources such as overseas cloud services, networks, and data centers.

To date, China Telecom has established branches in 53 countries and regions worldwide, with its business scope extending across Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East and Africa.

At the event, attendees could explore in detail the private cloud solution tailored by China Telecom for a major automotive company in Indonesia, the smart network infrastructure built for a complex large-scale smelting park, and the national key project “Digital Mali” developed for Africa, among other initiatives.

Along the Belt and Road Initiative, China Telecom’s services reach not only the Asia-Pacific and the Middle East and Africa but also extend into Europe, where the company has accumulated rich experience and case studies in areas such as the Internet of Vehicles and manufacturing. These vivid examples showcase China Telecom’s commitment to bringing Chinese digital practices to the international stage, promoting global inclusivity with its service standards and intelligent capabilities.

Integrated Cloud Intelligence: Supporting Global Expansion with a Comprehensive Service System

On the first day of the event, Liu Ye, Senior Solutions Consultant at China Telecom Global, delivered an engaging speech titled “Leading Your Overseas Digitalization.” She reflected on China Telecom’s journey in international expansion and highlighted the company’s global regional capabilities.

Through various case studies, Liu vividly illustrated China Telecom’s achievements and contributions along the Belt and Road Initiative. She provided a comprehensive overview of the advantages of the digital foundation and intelligent solutions that China Telecom Global has built to support enterprises in their international ventures.

In alignment with this, China Telecom showcased its robust global cloud and network digital intelligence service system. As a world-class digital technology service provider, China Telecom leverages its cloud-network integration advantages to continuously enhance its intelligent, comprehensive digital information infrastructure capabilities. This includes promoting “high-speed ubiquity, integrated terrestrial and space solutions, cloud-network convergence, intelligent agility, green low-carbon initiatives, and secure controllability.”

With a full-link architecture comprising “resources + platforms + products + applications,” China Telecom has developed an integrated global cloud-network digital intelligence service system known as “Cloud Network Digital Security.”

At the resource layer, China Telecom has developed an overseas intelligent computing cloud that integrates cloud intelligence and training, while also coordinating with cloud-network edge computing. This includes the construction of a high-bandwidth, low-latency international backbone network, promoting the full optical, flat, and intelligent transformation of international networks to strengthen the global intelligent computing infrastructure.

At the platform layer, China Telecom focuses on five key areas: business, technology, operations, data, and security. This has led to the establishment of a stable, flexible, and secure cloud-network integration central platform, continuously advancing the deep integration of 5G, cloud networks, ubiquitous intelligent terminals, and platform applications.

At the product layer, China Telecom accelerates the innovation of cutting-edge technologies and breakthroughs in new business areas such as “cloud, network, data, intelligence, security, and quantum,” forming a series of specialized and innovative product matrices to provide efficient and resource-conserving services to global clients.

At the application layer, China Telecom targets key industries such as finance, the internet, IT, government services, and retail, offering professional and reliable one-stop solutions. These solutions provide critical support and feasible pathways for the deep digital transformation of new business models and requirements within these sectors.

Overseas Services: Renewed Upgrades for a Shared Dream of the Digital Silk Road Journey

As China deepens its integration into the global economy, the high-quality international expansion of Chinese enterprises has emerged as a new focus of globalization, particularly along the Belt and Road Initiative, which has sparked a wave of cooperation between China and other countries.

To better serve overseas mobile users and meet diverse communication needs, China Telecom has upgraded its overseas mobile business. This “new connection” drives a “new start,” with the construction of an integrated network based on the Tiantong Satellite System, which innovatively introduces direct satellite connection services for mobile phones. Additionally, the company has meticulously developed the “Three Regions Connected” mobile service in the Greater Bay Area, providing a seamless connectivity experience among mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau.

In May of 2024, China Telecom officially launched its direct satellite connection service in Hong Kong, marking a key milestone in the overseas operation of the Tiantong Satellite System. With its wide coverage, strong communication capabilities, and no service blind spots, the Tiantong Satellite excels in scenarios such as maritime communication and emergency rescue.

China Telecom Global views this new port as a starting point to focus on key Belt and Road directions, particularly in Southeast Asia and South Asia, and aims to jointly promote Tiantong satellite services to a broader global user base.

At the same time, China Telecom Global has developed the “Three Regions Unified Experience” mobile service for the Greater Bay Area, allowing users to have one SIM card with three numbers online simultaneously. This service provides seamless connectivity among mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau, catering to those who frequently travel and communicate between these regions.

This not only offers significant convenience to ordinary consumers but also effectively supports high-level external openness, promoting the formation of a new development pattern that emphasizes domestic circulation while facilitating the mutual promotion of domestic and international dual circulation.

Looking ahead, China Telecom Global will leverage its position in Hong Kong, collaborate with the Greater Bay Area, support overseas expansion, and serve global markets. The company will continually upgrade its digital intelligent information services based on cloud-network integration. Guided by the Belt and Road Initiative, China Telecom aims to Integrated Cloud and Network for a Smarter Belt & Road,” integrated cloud and network for a smarter Belt & Road, and lead the way in the digital Silk Road journey, jointly creating a new chapter in the global digital economy.

Pave and Levels.fyi Announce Strategic Alliance, Bringing Levels.fyi Data Into Pave Agent and Market Pricing

Published

on

By

Compensation decisions draw on more data than ever, and that data is scattered across surveys, spreadsheets, and tools. Pave has built the place where it all comes together: one platform, powered by real-time intelligence and open to every source compensation teams trust. Today’s strategic alliance with Levels.fyi is the latest step in that effort.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Pave, the Agentic Compensation Management platform, today announced a strategic alliance with Levels.fyi, a compensation data platform that shows what work pays by company, level, location, and skill.

The alliance builds on Pave’s partnerships with The Croner Company, Korn Ferry, WTW, and others and reflects a continuing commitment: making it easier for customers to bring the critical data behind their pay decisions into one place. Pave will continue to expand the network of data partners available on the platform, so that compensation teams don’t have to stitch together sources by hand or choose between the ones they trust.

Through this strategic alliance, Pave customers can now access Levels.fyi data inside Pave Agent as well as Pave’s Market Pricing tool to compare pay for a role across sources, benchmark against real-time Market Data, and price jobs and build competitive pay ranges. Customers can analyze Levels.fyi data alongside their own compensation data and any other data sources they choose to use. Pave Agent can use Levels.fyi data as a reference input to deliver compensation intelligence, so teams can ask a question in plain language and see the answer across Levels.fyi, their other sources, and real-time intelligence from 9,000-plus companies in Pave’s dataset.

Levels.fyi adds a distinct lens on the market. Its data is contributed directly by the people earning it and backed by proof documents such as offer letters, W-2s, and pay stubs. Alongside survey and real-time views, it shows compensation teams what talent is actually earning.

With Levels.fyi data in Pave, mutual clients can:

Ask Pave Agent to compare pay for a role across Levels.fyi, WTW, Korn Ferry, Croner, and Pave’s real-time Market Data, all within one platformSee self-reported Levels.fyi data next to survey and real-time benchmarks to understand where the market views agree and where they divergeAnalyze Levels.fyi data alongside their own compensation data to see where their pay standsGive every analyst on the comp team, not just the person who manages the survey license, direct access to Levels.fyi data in their daily workflow

“Compensation decisions are only as good as the data behind them, and no single source tells the whole story,” said Matt Schulman, CEO of Pave. “Our goal is for Pave to be the central source for the data compensation teams use to make decisions, with real-time intelligence from 9,000-plus companies as the foundation and every source a client trusts available alongside it. Croner, Korn Ferry, WTW, and now Levels.fyi are steps in that effort, and we will keep adding more. Clients shouldn’t have to choose between the data sources they trust. They should have them all in one place.”

“Effective compensation benchmarking starts with a simple question, ‘How do we compare with the companies we actually compete against?'” said Zuhayeer Musa, co-founder of Levels.fyi. “Our data gives customers a current, company-level view of the market, backed by real proof such as offer letters and pay stubs. Bringing that perspective into Pave means teams can build the peer groups that matter to them, focus on a single competitor, and combine Levels.fyi’s rich intelligence with the rest of their stack. Pave has set the standard for connected compensation, and we’re excited to keep helping our mutual customers make faster, more confident pay decisions.”

Levels.fyi data is now available to mutual customers through Pave Agent and Pave’s Market Pricing tool. Existing customers can contact their account teams for access and availability details.

Published

Panda reunites with Worksmith Founder and CEO Bryan Burkhart as the company completes the first phase of integrating Worksmith Workplace and Worksmith Workforce.

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Worksmith today announced the appointment of Sonu Panda as Chief Revenue Officer. Panda will lead Worksmith’s revenue organization across its two products, Worksmith Workplace and Worksmith Workforce.

Panda reunites with Worksmith Founder and CEO Bryan Burkhart as the company completes the first phase of integrating Worksmith Workplace and Worksmith Workforce.

Panda has spent his career building and leading revenue teams in software. At Callidus Software, he served as Vice President of Sales across North America, EMEA, and Latin America, and later led on-On-Demand sales as the company moved from traditional enterprise software to a public SaaS business with more than $100 million in revenue. Most recently, he was CEO of Prescriptive Data, a SaaS company applying connected devices, data, and machine learning to commercial buildings, where he oversaw sales, business development, marketing, customer success, and engineering.

The role also reunites Panda with Worksmith Founder and CEO Bryan Burkhart. The two co-founded H.Bloom, a B2B marketplace, where Panda served as Chief Operating Officer and built the company’s operating model.

“We are excited to have Sonu join the Worksmith team full-time as our first-ever CRO. Sonu’s successful career in building world-class sales teams and the decade he has spent on the Worksmith board make him uniquely positioned to lead our next phase of growth, as we strive to deliver the operating system for retail to more customers,” said Bryan Burkhart, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Worksmith.

Panda joins with momentum on both sides of the business. Worksmith Workforce, formerly Progress Retail, has more than doubled its revenue since Worksmith acquired the company in June 2025, alongside a rapid pace of product development.

The two products have also completed the first phase of their integration. Clients that use both now reach retail operations, facilities maintenance, and workforce management through a single login.

“Having witnessed Worksmith’s steady growth first-hand, I’m thrilled to join Worksmith as Chief Revenue Officer for the next phase of Worksmith’s expansion and beyond,” said Sonu Panda, Chief Revenue Officer at Worksmith.

Panda’s appointment follows the promotion of Ray Riley, former CEO of Progress Retail, to Chief Strategy Officer. Panda takes over group revenue responsibilities from Riley.

Worksmith Workplace covers facilities maintenance, vendor management, and store development, including new builds, remodels, and project management.
