Latvijas IT uzņēmums, lai attīstītu mākslīgo intelektu un veicinātu pakalpojumu eksportu uz Tuvajiem Austrumiem, investēs 2 miljonus eiro

Publicēts 14:35 2021. gada 14. aprīlī

Finanšu programmatūras izstrādātājs un ieviesējs D8 Corporation finanšu tehnoloģiju produktos un jauna pārdošanas un servisa biroja izveidē Tuvajos Austrumos investēs 2 miljonus eiro. Nepieciešamajām investīcijām bankas Citadele finansējums ar Attīstības finanšu institūcijas Altum garantijas atbalstu nodrošinās 1,3 miljonus eiro, bet D8 Corporation pašu līdzekļi – 700 000 eiro.

“Vairāk nekā 10 gadus mēs aktīvi strādājam starptautiskajos tirgos, kur saņemam 90 % no visiem pasūtījumiem. Labi redzam, ka darba ražīguma un kvalitātes uzlabošana, kā arī augsta līmeņa inovatīvu risinājumu radīšana ir iespējama, regulāri investējot uzņēmuma attīstībā. 2 miljonu eiro lielās investīcijas būs labs atbalsts ražošanas, mārketinga un pārdošanas tempa palielināšanai. Mūsu izstrādātā programmatūra paredzēta galvenokārt strauji augošām bankām un finanšu institūcijām, tādēļ piedāvājumam ir jābūt ļoti drošam un tehnoloģiski progresīvam. Piemēram, 2016. gadā Citadelei tieši mēs izstrādājām “digitālā maciņa” risinājumu jeb tehnoloģiju maksāšanai veikalos ar mobilo telefonu. Pašreiz mēs nodarbojamies ar mākslīgajā intelektā bāzētu iespēju paplašināšanu mūsu tiešsaistes riska vadības risinājumam, kā arī ar “digitālā maciņa” funkciju uzlabošanu. Esam tuvu tam, lai nākotnē mūsu produkti būtu pieejami arī mazākiem uzņēmumiem un jaunuzņēmumiem, kuri D8 Corporation mākoņpakalpojumus varēs izmantot kā servisu, neiegādājoties salīdzinoši dārgo programmatūru un datoraprīkojumu.

Savas korekcijas 2020. gada laikā mūsu nozarē ir ieviesusi arī COVID-19 pandēmija, jo ir strauji pieaudzis pieprasījums pēc tirdzniecības platformām internetā –  atsevišķos segmentos pat par 200 %, tādēļ ir nepieciešamas jaudīgākas un elastīgākas IT sistēmas,” situāciju IT tirgū raksturo D8 Corporation valdes priekšsēdētājs Juris Ščerbickis.

D8 Corporation ir četri biroji, un trīs no tiem ir ārzemēs. Piešķirtais finansējums dos iespēju ieguldīt jauna biroja izveidē Tuvajos Austrumos. “Esam gandarīti, ka aizvadītajos trīs gados mūsu izstrādātie IT risinājumi gan kvalitātes, gan pieņemamās cenas dēļ ir ieinteresējuši klientus arābu valstīs, jo īpaši –  reģiona finanšu centrā Dubaijā. Ja tagad darbu nodrošinām 90 speciālistiem un galvenokārt – Latvijā, tad pēc veiktajiem ieguldījumiem darbinieku skaitu varēsim palielināt vēl par 10 cilvēkiem,” atklāj Juris Ščerbickis.

Golfa līča reģionā lielākā interese ir par D8 Corporation izstrādāto risku vadības sistēmu StrongHold, kas tiešsaistē spēj analizēt ļoti lielus datu apjomus, kas iegūti no dažādiem avotiem, tādējādi novēršot krāpnieciskās darbības ar maksājumu kartēm. Tā kā krāpniecības shēmas kļūst arvien izsmalcinātākas, mākslīgā intelekta modulis padarīs D8 Corporation produktu StrongHold par vēl konkurētspējīgāku globālajā finanšu tehnoloģiju tirgū.

“Inovatīvu un konkurētspējīgu IT risinājumu eksports ir veids, kā varam parādīt Latvijas speciālistu augsto ekspertīzi un veicināt valsts līderību viedo tehnoloģiju jomā. Uzņēmējiem šis ir laiks, kad IT jomā tiek meklēti efektīvi risinājumi, un uzteicami, ka arī Latvijas uzņēmums spēj sekmīgi eksportēt viedās tehnoloģijas uz citām pasaules daļām.  Efektīvai bankas pakalpojumu attīstībai un klientu pieredzes uzlabošanai, mēs sadarbojamies ar vietējiem un pasaules finanšu tehnoloģiju uzņēmumiem. D8 Corporation jau ilgus gadus ir mūsu sadarbības partneris, ar kuru kopā ir realizētas daudzas inovācijas finanšu pakalpojumos, piemēram, norēķināšanās ar telefonu un Apple Pay. Pozitīvi, ka mums ir izdevies paplašināt savas attiecības, sniedzot uzņēmumam iespēju paātrināt savu attīstību,” uzsver Rūta Ežerskiene, bankas Citadele valdes locekle.

Latvijā dibinātajam uzņēmumam D8 Corporation ir vairāk nekā 18 gadu pieredze finanšu programmatūras izstrādē, ieviešanā un uzturēšanā Tā klientu vidū ir gan lielas, gan nelielas bankas, arī starptautiski maksājumu operatori un citu nozaru uzņēmumi, kuri ar D8 Corporation atbalstu pilnveido maksājumu procesus. Uzņēmums piedāvā tradicionālās banku sistēmas maksājumu karšu un kontu apstrādei, risinājumus internetbankām un maksājumu sistēmām, “digitālo maciņu” un lojalitātes programmu rīkus, kā arī tehnoloģijas krāpniecisko darbību un naudas atmazgāšanas novēršanai. D8 Corporation, apvienojot komandā radošus un spēcīgus talantus tehnoloģiju jomā, piedāvā inovatīvus risinājumus klientiem banku un finanšu nozarē vairāk nekā 30 valstīs Eiropā, Tuvajos Austrumos un Āfrikā.

D8 Corporation will invest 2 million euros in machine learning development and business activities in the Middle East region

April 14, 2021

D8 Corporation has planned to invest 2 million euros in R&D activities and opening of a new subsidiary in the Middle East region. To implement this plan, D8 Corporation will use 0.7 million euros of its own capital, as well as has closed a deal for additional 1.3 million euros with Citadele Bank, in joint partnership with Altum Credit Guarantee program. 

“We’ve been working globally for more than 10 years already and 90% of our clients come from abroad. We see very well that improved quality, productivity and creation of highly innovative solutions is only possible if we continuously invest in our business. These 2 million euros of additional financing will allow us to increase the pace of our development, sales and marketing activities. Our software is created mostly for growing banks and financial institutions, that’s why our offering has to be highly secure and technologically advanced. For example, in 2016 our company was the one who developed HCE wallet for Citadele Bank, which was the first solution of this kind in the Baltic region at the time (D8 editor’s note. – we also did it again with Citadele in 2020, when we launched the first ApplePay wallet in the Baltics). Right now we are working on further development of machine learning capabilities in our Gate2Bank StrongHold risk management platform and on overall improvements in our Gate2Bank Digital Wallet product. We are also working on making our products available to small financial institutions and startups under Software as a Service (SAAS) model, to provide them with more flexibility and save them money from purchasing costly hardware and software components. Of course, COVID-19 pandemic has made its corrections in our industry throughout 2020, as we’ve  witnessed a sharp increase in demand for online shopping – in some segments it has grown by up to 200%. All this growth creates a need for more powerful and adaptable IT systems,” – Juris Scerbickis, Chairman of the Board at D8 Corporation comments on the situation in the IT industry. 

D8 Corporation has four offices and three of them are located outside of Latvia. Part of the financing D8 Corporation raised will be used to open one additional office in the Middle East region. “We are pleased to see that in the last three years our solutions have sparked interest of clients in the Middle East (especially in Dubai, which is a regional financial center), because of their quality and very competitive pricing. Now we provide jobs to 90 specialists (largely in Latvia) and this financing will allow us to create 10 additional jobs for various specialists,” – Juris Scerbickis acknowledges. 

So far Gate2Bank StrongHold risk management platform has received the most interest from the clients in Arabian Gulf region. Payment card fraudsters are inventing new and more sophisticated fraud schemes every year and it becomes harder to detect them. Machine learning module will increase the analytical power and precision of Gate2Bank StrongHold, making it even more competitive on the global financial technology market. 

“Export of innovative and competitive IT solutions is a way how we can show high expertise of Latvian specialists and encourage our country’s leadership in digital technologies. For entrepreneurs, this is a time when effective IT solutions are searched and it is commendable that a Latvian company can successfully export digital technologies to other parts of the world too. In order to effectively develop banking services and improve customer experience, we partner with local and global financial technology companies. D8 Corporation has been our technology partner for many years and together we have implemented many innovations in financial services, for example, payments with a mobile phone and with Apple Pay,” – Rūta Ežerskiene, Member of the Board at Citadele Bank emphasizes.

D8 Corporation has more than 18 years of experience in financial software development, integration and support (D8 editor’s note. – actually, we have just celebrated our 19-th birthday on 1-st of April this year (not a joke)). Among D8 Corporation’s clients are both large and small banks, PSPs and companies from other industries that are building their own payment systems with the help of D8. D8 Corporation offers traditional banking systems for payment cards processing, customized solutions for internet banks and payment systems, digital wallets and loyalty management solutions (D8 editor’s note. – take a look at the full list right here), as well as fraud prevention and anti money laundering solutions. D8 Corporation, by gathering creative and talented technology people (D8 editor’s note. – you can read more about our team), is offering innovative solutions to clients in banking and finance industry in more than 30 countries across EMEA.
