Chairman’s Statement
主席報告書
Prospects (continued)
On other business areas, we will continue exerting our best effort to
pursue our work, building particularly on our achievements last year
in delivering several mature Commercial Services (previously known
as DTTN) and Security Solutions to customers. We are pleased that
we could showcase success stories from renowned customers in the
logistic and retail industry to whom we have deployed our warehouse
management system and delivery order management system with proof of
delivery capability. We will replicate these workflow management based,
e-commerce solutions for customers in the trade and logistic industry,
who most likely are our GETS customers, not only for generating revenue
but also enhancing our stickiness with them through these value-added
services. With regard to Security Solutions, leveraging on our success in
deploying e-cheque solutions to our bank customers who participated
in the pilot launch in December last year, including our major bank
customer, we will work full force to prepare and support other banks for
e-cheque full production in the first quarter of 2016 as announced by the
Government.
For mobile Point-of-Sale (PoS)/payment solutions and B2C e-market
place which are new business ventures on which we have devoted
resources, admittedly it was a disappointment that their completion
dates had been pushed back several times due to the many external
partners/stakeholders we needed to identify, work and coordinate with
before we could complete the project for commercial launch. With most
issues resolved now, we are hopeful that we can see the end of the tunnel
in 2016. Barring any unforeseeable issues or developments which are out
of our control, we are prudently optimistic with their business outlook.
Regarding our China activities, as the Group can no longer share the
Guofurui’s profits after our disposal, and added to the fact that the
business of Guangdong Nanfang Haian Science & Technology Service
Company Limited will likely need to take some times to recover after its
long battle in settling some historical legal problems, the outlook of the
contribution of our PRC associates in 2016 is not at all optimistic. The
hope we have is on the performance of
上海匯通供應鏈技術與運營有
限公司
(“U-Link”), our 4th party logistics joint venture in Shanghai. In
the coming year, we are taking a rigorous review of our business strategy
at China with reference to our core competence, competitive edges
and most importantly, the lessons learned from our investments in PRC
associates and joint ventures.
Looking ahead, while diligently working on the identified business
areas, we will also closely monitor the broader global economic and
technological development and trend. Specifically, we will keep a close
eye on the Central Government’s strategic initiative on One Belt One Road
and devote resources as appropriate to explore any opportunities that
we might leverage on the Group’s core competence on the provisions
of trusted community-wide e-commerce solutions for the trading and
logistics industries. Likewise, we will capitalize on our e-security expertise
and the suite of proven solutions for banks to further enhance our
offerings for our bank customers in keeping up with the FinTech trend.
展望(續)
至於其他業務,我們將繼續努力,尤其延續我們去年
幾個交付給客戶的成熟商業服務(前稱
DTTN
)及保安
解決方案的成績。我們很高興能有成功案例,為物流
及零售業界的知名客戶,提供我們的倉庫管理系統及
附有交貨證明功能的貨單管理系統。我們將複制這些
以工作流程管理為基礎的電子商貿解決方案,推銷給
貿易及物流業的客戶,他們很可能亦是我們的
GETS
客
戶,除引進收入外,這些增值服務並可加強我們與客
戶的黏性。保安解決方案方面,繼成功給我們的銀行
客戶(包括主要銀行客戶)推出電子支票解決方案,以
參與去年十二月的試行後,我們會全力以赴協助其他
銀行準備及提供支援,配合政府二零一六年第一季全
面使用電子支票。
關於我們已投入資源的流動銷售點╱支付解決方案及
B2C
電子市場等新業務發展,未如預期,由於我們要
確定多個對外的合作夥伴╱持份者,進行並協調工作
方可完成項目推出市場,因此要數度押後完成日期。
目前大部分問題已解決,希望在二零一六年內可以完
成。除非出現意外問題或發展而非我們能力範圍可解
決的,我們對這些業務的前景審慎樂觀。
我們的中國業務方面,由於本集團出售國富瑞後不再
分佔該公司的利潤,再加上廣東南方海岸科技服務有
限公司為解決過往的法律問題而經歷漫長作戰,業務
可能需要相當時間方可重回正軌,二零一六年來自我
們中國聯營公司的盈利貢獻前景並不樂觀。我們寄望
來自於上海的第四方物流聯營公司上海匯通供應鏈技
術與運營有限公司(「上海匯通」)的業績。來年,我們
將基於企業的核心能力、競爭優勢,尤其是投資中國
聯營公司及合營公司的經驗,深入檢視我們於中國的
業務策略。
展望未來,除致力發展現有的業務範疇外,我們亦會
密切留意全球經濟大方向與技術發展及趨勢,並會關
注中央政府一帶一路的戰略舉措,調動適當資源發掘
機遇,充分發揮我們核心競爭力,為貿易及物流業提
供可靠的公共電子商貿解決方案。同時我們會利用在
電子保安方面的專長及整套針對銀行客戶行之有效的
解決方案,為銀行客戶提供更多產品,以緊貼金融科
技發展的勢頭。
