E-Invoicing Exchange Summit Americas: The Future is Bright

The 5th E-Invoicing Exchange Summit Americas took place in Miami from May 9 to 11, 2022. Over 100 experts, thought leaders and key decision-makers from 16 countries met in person to discuss the past, current, and future trends in electronic invoicing, procurement, and continuous transaction controls (CTCs).

Two very well attended interactive workshops kicked off the event. The first one was run by the Business Payment Coalition (BPC) discussing the next steps for an E-Invoice Exchange Framework for the U.S., and was followed by OpenPeppol exploring how the Peppol Network, international invoicing and CTCs, can be flexibly and progressively applied.

The wide acceptance and embrace of the four-corner-model was evident in the numerous presentations in testament of its usefulness, its features, and its success. Interesting case studies gave insights into the current experiments and future trends of automation, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. Further subjects of debate included the harmonization of different initiatives towards a truly global interoperability framework, which was also the topic of a high-level expert panel. The mutual agreement of all participants was that the future is bright for this space and calls for international collaboration.

Once again, the E-Invoicing Exchange Summit has been a great space where the E-Invoicing and E-Reporting community exchanged ideas and benefitted from great networking opportunities. Numerous excellent discussions and face-to-face talks took place with customers, partners, and policy drivers on the convergence of the different E-Invoicing and E-Reporting models and how all can help reduce complexity and manage the transition to E-Invoicing and Continuous Transaction Controls.

The global E-Invoicing journey continues in Berlin June 20-21, Lisbon September 26-28, and in Singapore and Dubai (dates to be announced). The next edition of the E-Invoicing Exchange Summit Americas will take place in Miami from April 24 to 26, 2023.

New Philippine ePassport Renewal Center inaugurated in Singapore

  • Managed and operated by VFS Global, the Philippine ePassport Renewal Center (PaRC) is located at 79 Anson, 15-02, Singapore 079906
  • Filipino nationals in Singapore can submit their passport renewal requests from Monday to Friday between 8 AM and 4 PM

Hon. Teodoro L. Locsin Jr., Secretary of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of the Philippines, inaugurated the new Philippine ePassport Renewal Center in Singapore on 28 January 2022 in the presence of other distinguished dignitaries. In a bid to ease the ePassport renewal process for Filipino nationals living overseas, the Department of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of the Philippines and VFS Global had signed a contract on 6 August 2021 to extend Philippine ePassport Renewal services to eight other countries aside from Singapore.

Hon. Teodoro L. Locsin Jr., Secretary of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of the Philippines (4th from left), with H.E. Mr. Joseph del Mar Yap, Ambassador of the Republic of the Philippines to Singapore (2nd from right), Mr. Nathaniel G. Imperial, Assistance Secretary- ASPAC (1st from left) and Mr. Brigido J. Dulay, Foreign Affairs Undersecretary for Civilian Security and Consular Affairs (2nd from left), at the unveiling of the plaque of the Philippine ePassport Renewal Centre in Singapore.

The launch of the VFS Global ePassport Renewal Center in Singapore marked the first time the Department of Foreign Affairs outsourced its ePassport renewal process for its nationals living in the Asia Pacific region. Following the success of the operations in the pilot location in Dubai which operates 12 hours every day, VFS Global successfully expanded its services to one more city in the UAE. This was followed by Centres in other countries like Ireland, Kuwait, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the UK, and the US, amidst the pandemic.

Commenting at the launch of the ePassport Renewal Center (PaRC), Hon. Teodoro L. Locsin Jr., Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Republic of the Philippines, said “The establishment of ePassport Renewal Centers in various parts of the world is an attestation of the President’s commitment to ensuring that government services are accessible and convenient to every Filipino. Singapore is certainly a priority for this service, as over 200,000 Filipinos in Singapore will benefit from having the option to renew their passport in another location aside from the Philippine Embassy.”

Mr. Jiten Vyas, Regional Group COO, VFS Global, added “We would like to thank the Department of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of the Philippines for its continued faith in us. Our passport and consular services have been growing from strength to strength, and we look forward to bringing those best-in-class services to Filipino nationals here in Singapore with this new Centre.”

Key benefits of the Philippine ePassport Renewal Center:

  • Improved passport services to Philippine nationals living overseas
  • Reduced crowding at Consulates/Embassies and greater convenience for the customer submitting their application with VFS Global
  • Strict verifiable processes to ensure accuracy of biometric data collection
  • Flexible ‘prime time’ services at select locations for submissions beyond regular office hours
  • Optional two-way courier services for safe delivery of your passports
  • Application tracking facility with the SMS service
  • Form filling support

Important information for Philippine ePassport Renewal services customers in Singapore:
As the safety of our customers and employees is our priority, VFS Global has implemented strict health and safety measures in line with Government guidelines for physical distancing at the Centres. Customers must wear a face mask/face covering to enter the premises, and a temperature reading will be required on arrival. Customers exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms, including fever (higher than 37.3 degrees Celsius), cough and difficulty in breathing, will not be allowed to proceed with their applications and be allowed to reschedule their appointments for another day.

AppsFlyer teams up with Intel to introduce The AppsFlyer Privacy Cloud

  • The AppsFlyer Privacy Cloud is the Next Phase in the Company’s Evolution, Enabling a Better, Safer Digital Experience Through Ecosystem Collaboration

AppsFlyer announced it is collaborating with Intel to build the AppsFlyer Privacy Cloud. The AppsFlyer Privacy Cloud allows multiple entities to safely bring their data together based on their own business logic, guidelines and privacy requirements while leveraging a privacy-preserving tech stack including Aggregated Advanced Privacy (AAP), Aggregated Conversion Modeling (ACM), Data Clean Rooms, privacy preserving cryptographic solutions, Predictive analytics, and others.

AppsFlyer is collaborating with Intel to leverage the hardware-enhanced crypto acceleration in Intel’s 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable platform to significantly speed up computation for the Privacy Cloud’s high performance advanced homomorphic encryption (HE) applications.

AppsFlyer’s Privacy Cloud is a trusted open platform for innovation that enhances end-users experience while preserving their privacy when using any connected device, on any platform, app store, OS or browser. Within the Privacy Cloud, platforms, app stores, ad-networks, and app developers will be able to define their own Privacy Cloud Applications (PCA) based on their business logic, privacy guidelines and tech stack.

This is especially relevant in Southeast Asia, an increasingly digitalized region and one where marketers are increasing their focus. The region has added 40 million new internet users in 2021, and the internet economy in the region expected to hit USD 363 billion in 2025, according to the recent e-Conomy SEA report. AppsFlyer’s own data also showed that the Asia Pacific region is one that will command the lion’s share of app install spend, with over half of global budgets in 2022.

Homomorphic encryption (HE) is a powerful new technique for enabling computation and collaboration on private and sensitive data through end-to-end encryption. It is an emerging form of encryption allowing private data computation without the need to decrypt the data. HE enables computing on always-encrypted data, resulting in enhanced privacy preserving capabilities. HE offers developers and brands a way to collaborate and gain insights across organizations, without compromising their end user privacy. Intel’s platform improves performance to support end-to-end data encryption.

This is a long-term ecosystem collaboration AppsFlyer and Intel will be investing in, and once it becomes widely available, AppsFlyer will be able to migrate parts of the Privacy Cloud Data Clean Rooms to a zero-trust cryptography solution, while preserving backward compatibility interfaces.

“The AppsFlyer Privacy Cloud is a natural next step of our current offering and our long-term vision,” said Oren Kaniel, CEO and Co-Founder, AppsFlyer. “AppsFlyer’s unique positioning means that we have a responsibility to carry out during these major ecosystem shifts. Cryptographic solutions such as HE could be a huge step forward for privacy led measurement, revolutionizing how brands gain insights. We’re thrilled to be working with Intel on this technology to make it a reality for our customers, and the entire ecosystem.”

“Asia Pacific has one of the most robust digital marketplaces in the world, with marketers and brands always looking at innovative ways to reach their audiences in the fastest growing ecommerce markets in the world. As the industry and consumers in the region develop their privacy concerns, we’re proud to announce this collaboration to lead the industry and help marketers thrive in this region,” said Ronen Mense, President, APAC, AppsFlyer.

“Homomorphic encryption is a powerful new tool, which will enable AppsFlyer’s partners and customers to gain valuable insights while maintaining a very high standard of user privacy,” said Nir Peled, general manager, Private AI and Analytics, Intel. “Our collaboration with AppsFlyer is a step toward the future of privacy preserving computing.”

Trintech Named to Inc.’s First-Annual Best-Led Companies List

  • First-ever roundup of companies recognized for management excellence in performance and value creation, market penetration and customer engagement, talent, and leadership team

Trintech, a leading global provider of integrated Record to Report software solutions for the Office of Finance, today announced that it has been named to Inc.’s first-annual ‘Best-Led Companies’ list – a select, data-driven list of the strongest U.S. firms with revenue of $50 million to $2 billion. This novel program is the first Inc. recognition to honor both public and private companies.

The final list recognizes 250 companies that are agile enough to maneuver but also big enough to have a broad impact. These companies employ 35 million people, about one of four U.S. workers. All 250 have a successful track record with leadership teams that spur solid performance, create value, penetrate markets, engage with customers, and more.

To be considered for the list, each company had to fill out an application answering questions about its performance, executive team, and leadership. Applicants were then analyzed via an algorithm that identified the very best companies according to their leadership teams’ superlative accomplishments in four key areas: performance and value creation; market penetration and customer engagement; talent; and leadership team.

“This inaugural list of companies represents the remarkable midsized companies, both public and private, often founder led, that are at the vanguard of reinventing American business,” says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. magazine. “With their leadership, all business will benefit from an exciting, competitive future full of possibilities.”

“Innovation is a cornerstone of our ethos,” says Teresa Mackintosh, CEO of Trintech. “And we’re unwavering in our commitment to continue to innovate, even and especially over the last year and a half. Even as we established key strategic partnerships with ServiceNow, Planful, and Microsoft, all providing new solution values for our joint customers, we continued innovating within our own solutions to create greater value for our existing and prospective customers. It is a true honor to be recognized by Inc. on this inaugural list and to be amongst the companies setting the benchmark for others to come.”

Trintech is committed to providing world-class, innovative solutions that deliver increased efficiency, real-time visibility, collaboration and control to mid-market and enterprise organizations around the world. For over 35 years, Trintech has driven innovation and automation throughout the Record to Report (R2R) process with solutions that empower finance and accounting teams with purpose-built technology. Trintech’s solutions enable those teams to go beyond balancing the workload and eliminating manual work from the reconciliation and close process, to analyzing the data and applying human capital and intelligence to higher value tasks such as problem solving and evolving the business with time that is saved.

To compile the list, Inc. evaluated private and public U.S.-based companies with a 2020 revenue of $50 million to $2 billion or a valuation of $50 million to $10 billion using a proprietary 12-point measure of management excellence generated with input from partners at Pitchbook and Shango Labs.

AppsFlyer Launches SKAdNetwork Ranking for the New Privacy Era in Latest Performance Index; Xiaomi is Fastest-growing Media Source in Southeast Asia

The first index following Apple’s ATT enforcement shows that mobile media sources are still adapting to the new privacy reality

AppsFlyer, the marketing measurement and experience platform, today released the 13th edition of its Performance Index, ranking the top media sources in mobile advertising. In its edition, AppsFlyer is pioneering the SKAN Index, a SKAdNetwork ranking that reflects the new reality of privacy generated by the enforcement of Apple’s App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework.

Apple’s ATT impact on the mobile industry has been substantial. While Facebook dominated AppsFlyer’s pre-SKAdNetwork iOS rankings, TikTok for Business claimed the number one spot in the first SKAN Index. Facebook dropped to second and also lost the top spot to Apple Search Ads (ASA) in the Retention Index among consenting users. Google, on the other hand, in line with AppsFlyer’s previous rankings, continues to dominate in Android and drive the largest number of installs in app marketing.

The Growth index found that Xiaomi took top spot as the fastest-growing media source for Android mobile advertising in Southeast Asia — beating out Adjoe and Adfly. However, Adjoe still ranked as the fastest-growing media source globally, with its 60% increase in clients and 2.5% rise in non-organic installs largely driven by success in Southeast Asia.

TikTok for Business leads power ranking in industry-first SKAN Index
TikTok For Business has adapted the best to SKAdNetwork six months after Apple’s ATT enforcement, capturing first in the power ranking with good quality at scale, and reaching fifth place in the volume ranking. Facebook took the second spot in the power ranking, losing ground since the enforcement of ATT, but took first place in the volume ranking due to its scale.

AppLovin ranked third in both the power and volume rankings, with Google Ads coming in fourth in the power ranking. While traditionally not the most dominant media source in iOS, Google did place second in the volume ranking.

“The impact of ATT on the mobile app industry has been substantial, and AppsFlyer’s goal was to provide advertisers with the most accurate scorecard based on the media sources that can, ultimately, drive the most value in this new era of privacy,” said Sam Chiu, Senior Director of Marketing, APAC, AppsFlyer. “While it’s clear that we are still in a transition phase, and that media sources have to adapt to a completely different measurement framework that requires significant changes to their existing technologies, we wanted to provide marketers with a direction with which partners to work with in this new reality.”

Google continues to dominate Android, widening its lead from the rest
Google is continuing to exponentially drive the largest number of installs in app marketing, further increasing its lead over Facebook in Android devices. The search giant ranked first in the Retention Index’s power and volume rankings in all Gaming and non-gaming categories, with the exception of racing games. Most of its growth came from Gaming, where it increased its share in global app installs by 5% comparing H1 2021 to H2 2020.

Google enjoys the biggest reach in every region, but most of its growth comes from Android-dominated countries, particularly in India, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. Google’s unrivaled reach in Android is also the main reason why it is ranked number two in the In-App Purchases (IAP) Index power ranking with a score that was only slightly lower than Facebook’s. However, it did claim the first spot in the power ranking in non-gaming as well as in the Casual gaming group.

The remarketing Index shows that although Facebook still dominates this category, Google is closing the gap and has even claimed the top spot in Europe and among Finance apps, globally. In fact, Google increased its share of the app remarketing conversion pie by 33% comparing H1 2021 and H2 2020.

Apple Search Ads overtakes Facebook among consented users in iOS

AppsFlyer found that among consenting users, Apple Search Ads (ASA) ranked first in both the Retention Index’s global power and volume rankings. In fact, iOS marketers flocked to ASA following the enforcement of ATT, with ASA reaching almost 60% of its traffic from the previous index which covered the entire second half of 2020 in only seven weeks.

ASA is the only media source in iOS that functions independently of SKAdNetwork and deterministically attributes users. While ASA is not a lateral comparison to other media sources in the rankings, AppsFlyer applied the same methodology for ASA and its competitors despite the differences in which they operate due to ASA’s volume of users with full data granularity, which is ultimately what marketers seek.

ASA’s success was driven by non-gaming apps where it ranked first, thanks to the top spot it secured in the Life & Culture group in seven regions across the globe: Eastern Europe, Greater China, Japan & Korea, Latin America, Middle East, North America, and Western Europe. In Gaming, ASA ended up third in the power ranking and fourth in the volume ranking. Its performance in Gaming was largely driven by its first-placed power rankings in the Casual Gaming group in Japan & Korea, the Middle East, Western Europe, and North America.

ASA’s advantage was also evident in the IAP Index, overcoming Facebook to take the number one global power and volume ranking, driving quality users at scale, with a first place showing in non-gaming and second place result in Gaming.

Methodology:
AppsFlyer’s Performance Index analyzed a total of 623 media sources, 33 billion installs, and over 17,000 apps. From this, the SKAN Index covered 150 million postbacks from over 3,000 apps.

AppsFlyer Launches Conversion Studio to Enable Single Source Mapping for SKAdNetwork Post-install Measurement

AppsFlyer’s latest SKAN innovation provides advertisers full control over metrics measurement in the era of iOS 14+

AppsFlyer, the marketing measurement and experience platform, today launched Conversion Studio, a hyper-flexible solution for conversion value measurement. Conversion Studio enables marketers to master conversion values by maximizing the lifetime value measurement for post-install activity simply and effectively within the limited capacity of the SKAN framework.

“With Conversion Studio, we set out to help marketers with a challenge that has plagued them in the post iOS 14 era: the difficulty in understanding how valuable their acquired users are in the long run,” said Roy Yanai, Head of Product, SKAdNetwork, AppsFlyer. “By design, SKAN limits advertisers to a single conversion value, which only captures one aspect of the user’s post-install activity. With Conversion Studio, AppsFlyer is giving marketers the power to master SKAdNetwork conversions and take back control over SKAN post-install measurement with insight into the lifetime value of their users.”

Conversion Studio provides marketers the ability to easily set their conversion value mapping with the flexibility to measure several metrics simultaneously. With visual cues that show the conversion value capacity and how each metric is measured, advertisers can easily fine-tune their mapping to make sure they’re making the most of virtually any post-install events, including metrics such as revenue, engagement, retention and conversion. Once the conversion value mapping is housed in AppsFlyer, it can be easily shared with all the SKAN integrated partners, serving as a single-source-of-truth for SKAN measurement.

With Conversion Studio, marketers will now be able to:

  • Split measurement metrics. Marketers can now customize their measurement, simultaneously measuring metrics that’s most important to them, such as revenue, in-app engagement, retention and more.
  • Extend the post-install user activity timer to a 72 hour window. By extending the activity timer, marketers will be able to measure longer lifetime value. In addition, marketers have an additional option of knowing when a user was last active, which facilitates the measuring of critical aspects like retention and cohorts.
  •  Measure ranges within any specific metric. Defining flexible ranges within a specific metric enables marketers to be more efficient with the number of conversion values they implement.
  • Measure funnels to optimize the full capacity of lifetime value. By choosing the funnel function in Conversion Studio, advertisers can efficiently measure sequential events by using fewer values, optimizing the amount of in-app events measured.

“With AppsFlyer’s solution for custom conversion value mapping, we finally have the freedom in what and how we want to measure on iOS,” Michal Prokop Grno, Head of Marketing Analytics, Pixel Federation. “And all of that without the need to write a single line of code.”
