NCS has unveiled a strategic blueprint built on three core pillars—Intelligentisation, Internationalisation, and Inspiration—to embed AI into its operations, expand regionally, and foster innovation.

This plan includes a significant S$130 million investment over three years to lead AI transformation across Asia Pacific, emphasizing community development and new business outcomes beyond mere efficiency.

CEO Ng Kuo Pin highlighted that these pillars reflect NCS's purpose to leverage AI for efficiency, collaboration, and uplifting communities, sharing best practices across diverse markets.

NCS launched Sunshine.AI, a suite of AI tools like Sunshine.Coder, Sunshine.Operations, and Sunshine.Productivity, designed to support intelligent solutions and automate key processes.

The company's approach to Intelligentisation involves integrating AI into decision-making and operations using proprietary frameworks and tools, enhancing digital resilience in cybersecurity and infrastructure.

NCS has formed strategic partnerships with global tech giants including AWS, Google Cloud, NVIDIA, and others to accelerate AI deployment, develop new solutions, and upskill engineers across the region.

In the realm of Internationalisation, NCS has established a joint venture with Globe Telecom's Yondu in the Philippines, expanding its regional workforce by over 1,200 professionals and developing data and management services.

Collaboration with Singtel aims to leverage NCS's AI tools to transform operations, improve customer experience, and build autonomous networks.

The 'Inspiration' pillar emphasizes developing AI that enhances human capabilities and promotes community development, with initiatives like SEA-LION, MERaLiON, and AI Verify Foundation to shape Singapore's AI landscape and uphold ethical standards.

NCS actively participates in Singapore’s AI ecosystem, focusing on community advancement and cultural relevance, aligning with its vision to foster resilient, innovative communities in the Asia-Pacific region.

Over 10,000 NCS employees have been trained and certified in AI, supporting their roles in digital transformation and community upliftment, emphasizing AI as a tool to augment human work rather than replace jobs.

NCS has a five-year master agreement with Singapore's HTX to embed AI, including agentic AI and quantum-safe technologies, into public safety and operational systems, enhancing efficiency and security.
