Best-in-Class Banking with Bank Neo Commerce, Through Tencent Cloud

Tencent Cloud has worked with Bank Neo Commerce (BNC) in Indonesia to achieve its goal of entering a new era of optimising digital services, providing maximum convenience and comfort for its customers. With the help of this collaboration, BNC has seen explosive growth in users whilst also becoming a significant part of the rise in digital financial services. 

Addressing challenges such as massive data, high-frequency transactions, and insufficient data architecture, BNC enlisted the assistance of Tencent Cloud’s TDSQL, its comprehensive distributed database solution, to construct its upgraded database. 

TDSQL is a financial-certificated infrastructure featuring strong consistency, high availability, and performance, a global deployment architecture, distributed horizontal scaling, and enterprise-grade security. The database also serves as a crucial foundation for BNC's digital services and offerings, without the worries brought by costly commercial databases. 

Moreover, TDSQL assures BNC of quality boosts in professional reliability, security and experience. It supports comprehensive features for data backup, disaster recovery, and quick upgrade features. TDSQL’s consistency, availability, and performance have provided strong support for BNC's business explosive growth in 2021 as it acquires 20 million users and 35 million accounts within a year.

Ookbee and Tencent Cloud Bring People Together Through Entertainment

In the field of media and entertainment, Tencent Cloud has also provided a technology platform for startup Ookbee, a company based in Thailand offering applications ranging from online novels and music streaming to video-on-demand, catering to the younger generation across Southeast Asia. The company has grown to have more than 10 million users in the past year. 

To more efficiently serve its growing number of users, Ookbee utilises Tencent Cloud’s platforms to achieve its three goals: to have a proven technology platform to support its innovative, community interactivity; to have innovative communication tools to engage amongst users, and to have a stable and scalable cloud platform to maintain a good user experience. 

Tencent Cloud has been providing a wide range of cloud services to Ookbee, including TencentDB for MongoDB, Cloud Virtual Machine, Cloud Object Storage, Content Delivery Network, Game Multimedia Engine, Tencent Real-Time Communications, Video-on-Demand, Cloud Streaming Services and more. Tencent Cloud also offers many SDKs where Ookbee can integrate and even make their application more advanced. 

With the help of Tencent Cloud, Ookbee successfully strengthened its platforms and solidified its position as a platform for groups of people with common interests across the region.
