EDITOR’ S NOTE

Welcome to the latest edition of Intelligent CIO APAC.

This month we lead with Mentor Media, a global supply chain solutions provider headquartered in Singapore reducing onboarding by up to 50 % and accelerating EDI integration by up to 60 % using the Boomi Enterprise Platform.
Serving Fortune 500 enterprises worldwide, Mentor Media uses EDI as a core transaction mechanism for managing business-critical processes. With increasing pressure to scale fast, Mentor Media needed a single unified platform to manage endto-end integrations, improve governance and scale consistently across regions.
Rueh Herng Yap, Senior Vice President at Mentor Media, says that by using the Boomi Enterprise Platform, Mentor Media reduced system integration time from 21 months to under four.
On p14 Rueh outlines how Boomi became a game changer for Mentor Media’ s global operations.
At an ever-increasing rate, AI and automation are revolutionizing operational technology across Australia’ s most critical infrastructure sectors. On p24 Les Williamson, Regional Director Australia and New Zealand at Check Point Software Technologies, explains why Australia must address the hidden risks of Artificial Intelligence and automation in critical infrastructure to ensure resilience and accountability.
Staying in Australia, Andrew Amos, Regional Vice President – APAC at Diligent, examines the role of AI in Australian boardroom decision-making. As AI emerges as a powerful tool in Australian boardrooms, Andrew says the reality is clear: AI is not intended to replace boardroom judgment; it is designed to enhance it. On p35 he makes the case for pairing human expertise and sound corporate governance with AI to empower directors to make more informed and timely decisions based on real-time risk intelligence.
Mobileum and Telkomsel have partnered to deliver scalable AI-powered insights for Indonesian enterprises. On p32 the partnership is presented as accelerating digital service innovation and unlocking new enterprise business opportunities with advanced analytics. Together the companies will equip enterprises including SuperApp providers and digital service platforms with the intelligence to personalize experiences, optimize engagement and scale effectively in a dynamic market.
That’ s just a sample of what’ s inside.
Have an innovative month.
Make stuff happen.
