KUALA LUMPUR, July 20 (Bernama) -- Boomi, the intelligent connectivity and automation leader, has announced a new partnership agreement with Nomura Research Institute (NRI) Ltd, a leading think-tank and systems integrator in Japan.
According to a statement, Boomi and NRI have launched services for information technology (IT) modernisation and data integration use cases in all industries, based on a mutual understanding of the value of integration platform as a service (iPaaS) for business operations in today’s digital economy.
“As the use of cloud services expands in Japan, legacy integration tools falter, and demand for iPaaS continues to grow rapidly.
“Boomi will boost NRI’s consulting and system implementation support services to help clients quickly and effectively reform their corporate operations,” said Boomi head of business development, Japan, Kazunori Hori.
Meanwhile, NRI, DX Platform Division, senior managing director, Hideki Saito said: “The Boomi AtomSphere Platform will help our clients meet their IT modernisation and data integration needs, and together, we will contribute to solving many of their most pressing business challenges.”
NRI supports corporate business transformation by combining software as a service (SaaS) products and believes integration platforms are increasingly important for businesses to harness the value of their data.
Throughout an enterprise environment, data becomes dispersed and stored among various systems, applications, and siloed workflows, making it essential to use iPaaS for data integration and integrated data management.
After comparing various iPaaS products, NRI selected the Boomi AtomSphere Platform based on its clear licensing structure, ease of development and learning, and stability.

JUNIPER RESEARCH: TOKENISED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS TO EXCEED 1 TRILLION GLOBALLY BY 2026; DRIVEN BY CLICK-TO-PAY
BASINGSTOKE, England, July 18 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- A new study from Juniper Research has found the total number of tokenised payment transactions will exceed 1 trillion globally by 2026; rising from 680 billion in 2022. This represents growth of 58% over the next 4 years. It attributed this growth to the rise of ‘one-click’ solutions, such as Click-to-Pay, using card-on-file tokenisation to store a customer’s payment credentials; enabling them to auto-fill their checkout details and complete transactions via a single click.
Tokenisation protects customers’ payment credentials when stored; replacing sensitive data with token values that hold no intrinsic value. This prevents malicious actors from gaining access to payment data in the event of a data breach.· Key Drivers: Tokenisation growth is being driven by increasing adoption of one-click solutions by merchants within eCommerce to reduce friction, and by card networks, who are encouraging mass adoption of tokenisation at the network level to improve payment approval rates.
· New research report: Payment Tokenisation: Key Opportunities, Segment Analysis & Market Forecasts 2022-2027
· Free whitepaper: How eCommerce Is Driving Tokenisation Growth
Drive for Frictionless Checkout Is Catalysing Growth
The new report predicts online and mobile eCommerce-tokenised volume will grow by 74% by 2026. This growth is driven by the increasing customer expectation of a frictionless checkout experience, which one-click solutions via tokenisation offer.
Growth will also be driven by benefits, including time savings for the end user by eliminating the need for customers to re-enter payment credentials when shopping online.

AROUND THE WORLD OF CARE: HYATT SHARES PROGRESS UPDATE ACROSS ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE COMMITMENTS AND INITIATIVES
CHICAGO, July 15 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- To share progress made across World of Care, the company’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) platform, Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today published its 2021 World of Care Highlights and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) Report to demonstrate how Hyatt is advancing care for the planet, people and responsible business.
“Caring for people so they can be their best has been at the core of Hyatt’s story for 65 years. Through World of Care, we embrace our responsibility and opportunity to work together to shape a more sustainable world and future,” said Margaret Egan, executive vice president and general counsel, Hyatt. “By intently focusing on driving progress against key ESG commitments like our environmental framework and Change Starts Here goals, we are holding ourselves accountable for continued action and progress in order to create the needed changes for our industry, society and planet.”
Hyatt Advances Diverse Workforce Representation
Following last year’s inaugural DE&I report, Hyatt’s 2021 workforce diversity data shows increased levels of representation of people of color across its U.S. workforce, as well as growth across nearly all races and ethnicities among colleagues, managers and leaders. Hyatt’s commitment to share progress annually serves as a critical benchmark to measure the strides made toward a more diverse, equitable and inclusive environment for colleagues.
Hyatt continues to work toward its 2025 DE&I goals around who it employs, supports and works with, outlined as part of its Change Starts Here commitments. With a focus on improving diverse vendor representation across its supply chain, Hyatt welcomed 220 new Black suppliers in 2021, with a continued focus on advancing progress looking ahead. For example, Revival Baltimore, which is part of the JdV by Hyatt brand, worked with Black-owned Black Acres Roastery to supply coffee to all hotel guestrooms and the property’s onsite coffee shop, ‘Dashery, and Hyatt Centric The Pike Long Beach recently welcomed Black-owned brewery Crowns & Hops to its Watercraft Lounge.
“At Hyatt, we believe in the power of belonging – of making people feel at home no matter where they are in the world. We constantly strive to reflect the world we care for with teams that achieve and grow together,” said Malaika Myers, chief human resources officer, Hyatt. “To advance our vision of a world of understanding and care, we must continue to prioritize DE&I across every dimension of our business and take action to make meaningful progress against our goals.”
Hyatt Announces Donation to Launch Human Trafficking Survivor Fund
In an effort to expand the hotel industry’s ongoing work to support human trafficking prevention and survivors, the Hyatt Hotels Foundation has announced a $500,000 donation to launch the “No Room for Trafficking Survivors Fund” in collaboration with the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA). With the donation, and further support from the industry, the Survivors Fund will equip community-based organizations with the resources they need to engage and support survivors – from direct financial support of their short-term, baseline needs to career-related support that can empower and equip them on their path forward.
Hyatt Works to Advance Climate Action
Hyatt further accelerates its efforts to engage in more sustainable business practices as part of its environmental framework – focused on areas of climate change and water conservation, waste and circularity, responsible sourcing and thriving destinations.
In 2021, Hyatt received approval from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) on its 2030 science-based target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Hyatt’s targets include reducing absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions, engaging key suppliers to set science-based targets by 2025, and decreasing additional scope 3 emissions.
Hyatt remains diligent in promoting initiatives that support progress toward its science-based target, which focus on energy conservation, efficient technology, building automation systems, advancing sustainable design considerations and more. An important ongoing focus will be on increasing the number of hotels that have on-site solar panels or are using one-hundred percent renewable electricity such as Hyatt Regency Amsterdam and Hyatt Regency Phoenix. Ongoing property efforts are also critical in achieving these targets, such as the ones displayed at Alila Villas Uluwatu through its on-site sustainability lab.
