Chairman’s Statement
主席報告書
Prospects (continued)
For Commercial Services, with the success in 2016, we would continue our
focus approach and step up our momentum to promote our mature products
for which we already have built up quality and solid sales pipelines. In 2017,
the team would also conduct research and development of new products to
enrich our product portfolio for supply chain management as part and parcel
of our expansion plan for this business segment. Regarding our Security
Solutions business for which we started with just the digital certification service
under the umbrella of Digi-Sign Certification Services Limited (“Digi-Sign”)
as a commercial Recognized Certification Authority, we have gone through
years of research and development of new e-security products and solutions.
While we would continue such new product development work, we have by
now a comprehensive suite of products for electronic identity management;
from digital certificates for a wide range of business and financial applications,
security tokens in different form factors to biometric solutions for banking
and corporate applications. We see ourselves clearly standing out from other
players in the market with distinct competitive edges. With prominent customer
references for our security products for identify management, we have built up
not only our reputation and brand name in the market, but also real business
potentials from customers on the horizon. As regards our long overdue mobile
PoS/payment solution, while wrapping up the last mile of development late
in 2016, we took the time to secure our first order with a major bank which
has formally been confirmed in early 2017. As the first of its kind in the Hong
Kong market and with our first order from this renowned bank customer, our
mobile PoS/payment solution is expected to generate significant interests in
the market as our solution could be used in many business segments to solve
real business issues together with payment functions. Once again, we hope
the Hong Kong market would appreciate and evolve with the latest technology
solutions.
Regarding our investments in PRC associates, we would continue to watch
from the sidelines. For U-Link, heavy investment in business expansion
would continue in 2017 and possibly beyond and we would monitor how
our investment would turn out to be in due course. As regards Nanfang, the
performance should hopefully improve in 2017 as the historical legal problems
have all been resolved in 2016 and, going forward, they could focus on their
business activities and development.
展望（續）
商業服務於二零一六年取得成功，我們將繼續專注策略，並
透過已建立堅實而優質之銷售機會逐步加快推銷我們的成熟
產品。於二零一七年，團隊亦會研發新產品以豐富供應鏈管
理的產品組合，此為這業務分部的擴展計劃不可或缺的一部
分。保安方案業務方面，從開始在電子核證服務有限公司
（「
Digi-Sign
」）作為商營核證機構提供數碼證書服務，經過多
年努力，已成功研發新電子保安產品及解決方案。一方面我
們會繼續研發新產品，另一方面我們現時已有一套綜合電子
身份管理產品系列；由支援各行各業及金融應用的數碼證
書、不同形式的保安編碼器，以至應用於銀行及企業服務之
生物認證解決方案。我們獨特的競爭優勢，使我們能在市場
上鶴立雞群。憑藉我們在身份管理保安產品之成功案例，我
們不單於市場上建立聲譽及品牌形象，而且真正能夠從潛在
客戶群中取得實質商機。就我們延期已久之流動銷售點╱支
付解決方案，於二零一六年底當我們為開發工作結尾時，我
們趁機爭取一間主要銀行的訂單，這訂單並於二零一七年初
正式落實。作為香港市場首款同類型產品，加上該著名銀行
客戶確認第一份訂單，預期我們之流動銷售點╱支付解決方
案會在市場引起廣泛興趣，因其可用於許多業務領域，除付
款功能外亦能解決真正業務問題。我們再次希望香港市場可
以與時並進，採用最新技術解決方案。
我們將繼續觀望中國聯營公司之投資。於二零一七年及可能
往後日子，上海匯通將繼續作出巨額投資以擴充業務，我們
會於適當時候監察其投資回報。至於南方，因過往法律問題
已於二零一六年全面解決，日後可以專注業務活動及發展，
故二零一七年表現有望好轉。
