Nintex Hong Kong wins Technology Excellence Award for Enterprise Software – Business Services
To simplify operations and increase efficiency, the Hong Kong Exchange leveraged the Nintex Platform to successfully transform its business processes with automated workflows and digital forms. The successful technological innovation of companies towards efficiency and productivity are honoured at the Hong Kong Business Technology Excellence Awards (TEA). Not only are these tech-savvy companies crucial to economic growth, they can also serve as role models for other ambitious enterprises and individuals. In the inaugural edition of HKB’s TEA, Nintex Hong Kong was recognised for its project to automate Hong Kong Exchange’s complex, outdated business process. The Nintex Platform, which includes Nintex Workflow and Forms, simplified and centralised the workflows across the stock exchange’s various departments and offices. Previously, the Hong Kong Exchange was dependent on paper-based files and records, and had no central process repository. Aside from being time-consuming, this manual process increased the likelihood of error and resulted in burdensome operations. This set-up required custom-designed IT tools to perform specific functions. When the Nintex Platform was introduced, the stock exchange was able to digitise and interconnect processes, thereby creating streamlined, efficient operations throughout the organisation. The digital transformation of the Hong Kong Exchange means that its corporate, finance, enterprise risk management, IT, human resources, and real estate departments now operate in a seamlessly connected network. Nintex Workflow is applicable to physical worksites, cloud-based platforms, and a combination of these. Government agencies (such as Tararua District Council in New Zealand and Port Stephens Council in Australia) and private enterprises (Toyota, Coca-Cola, and many others) have chosen Nintex to supply their digitalisation requirements. Nintex products offer the advantages of speed and flexibility through drag-and-drop design features, low total cost of ownership based on usage-based pricing and scalable plans, and high overall satisfaction with 70% net promoter score. Nintex was established in 2006 with the mission to “improve the way people work through process management and automation”. Since then, the company has helped more than 8,000 customers in more than 90 countries to achieve their business objectives through the successful management, automation and optimisation of business processes. This technology leader’s strengths are founded on its powerful and easy-to-use Nintex Platform, which complements the excellent customer service and worldwide partner network of the company.

Hong Kong is catching up with other APAC markets to embrace sustainability
Governments around the world are putting policies in place to curb carbon emissions in line with the Paris Agreement on climate change. With a significant proportion of the urban population spending much of their time in commercial buildings, the onus is on the real estate industry to provide sustainable properties that will mitigate negative environment impacts. Many countries in the Asia Pacific region are implementing aggressive measures to address environment challenges such as rising carbon emissions, which is spurring the introduction of incentives to construct green buildings. Hong Kong is no different; it continues to make strides to protect its world class status through its sustainable development as a ‘smart city.’
