“Our platforms build upon the information architectures of our customers’ business environment by augmenting existing investments to co-create solutions localized to their business context,” says Hasan Malik, CEO of Cloud Asset.

Focused on specific problems with emphasis on R&D, Cloud Asset has successfully developed platforms for Big Data, Payment Systems, Data Visualization and Deep Analytics & Decision Support systems.

“We are working on very exciting projects allowing us to harness innovations in cloud computing, big data tools and analytics for the benefit of our customers.”

Manage Thailand`s water systems with thirty thousand sensors

Cloud Asset helped the government of Thailand to create a national integrated water management system. This was done by using the company's flagship product RAMP, standing for the “Resource & Asset Management Platform”.

RAMP is an IoT & AI command and control software for complex user-oriented cases. It is capable of ingesting huge amounts of sensor data, open data, data from any source, manage the data in its proprietary data-lake, analyze the data with its AI capability and provide decision support for users and decision-makers.

It offers customers a unified architecture with an intelligent user interface to create total information awareness based on live data.

In Thailand, “We connected data from over thirty thousand sensors - live telemetry data, public data, multi-agency data, satellite data and internet data - to create a real-time situation awareness of the national water resources across the country,“ explains Hasan Malik.

“Our platform aggregates satellite data from a Japanese Aerospace JAXA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA and over 40 local government agencies and international databases to create live command centre for short term and for long term water management with availability, flood and drought predictions and monitoring to support decision making at the operational and execution levels.

Finance on-line digital payment solution

In the finance sector, Cloud Asset has developed a digital payments PaaS solution called P3 to provide financial inclusion and omni-channel payments services to banks, large enterprises and service providers. Again, it is the company's advanced platform to handle in real-time large amount of data which provided the solution.

“Our team is in the process of global product launch and actively engaged in multiple customer bids and pilot projects. We are already servicing millions of transactions in Pakistan and Thailand ,” says Hasan Malik.

P3 handles all aspects of payment related web and mobile transactions for all types of devices and interfaces.

It's extensive API seamlessly plugs into applications to provide payment charging, refund and loyalty transactions from a secured instance per customer on premise or cloud.

“As an example, Tesco super stores in Thailand have chosen to digitize their customer payments service with P3.”

Cloud Asset is supported and hosted by ESA Business Incubation Centre Finland.
