Mr. Bill Chang, CEO of Singtel's Digital InfraCo, said, "Enterprises in the fast-growing Industry 4.0 sector depend on high quality, reliable connectivity to ensure smooth operations. We are pleased to collaborate with Hitachi Digital, leveraging Paragon to manage its connectivity and cloud needs across Hitachi's manufacturing facilities. Integrating Hitachi's advanced AI applications with Paragon's ecosystem will enhance our suite of solutions for manufacturing enterprises and enable them to seamlessly transform their operations powered by AI."
