关于客户
TAG is a tech company and a financial market infrastructure (FMI) authorized by Brazil’s Central Bank to operate in the Brazilian market as a card receivables registrar. Founded in 2018, the company operates under a fully remote working model. TAG is a Brazilian financial market infrastructure operating as a card receivables registrar. A card receivable is an amount generated through transactions with debit/credit cards to be paid to a commercial entity in the future. TAG registers and manages these assets to increase transparency and security in the credit market.
挑战
In June 2021, Brazil’s Central Bank’s Circular No. 3952 and the country’s National Monetary Board’s Decision No. 4734 set specific rules to create a receivables register for payment arrangements. The goal was to give shopkeepers more freedom to negotiate their credit/debit card receivables, both to advance these assets and to enter into collateralized credit operations. This created a need to organize and standardize the companies operating in that segment, TAG included. TAG’s concern for regulatory compliance converged with its consistent commitment to innovation. The company was closely following the processing of receivable units, which is complex and demands significant computing power. Because of those needs, the company began looking for solutions in the public cloud, leading to a wide array of opportunities.
解决方案
Among all the new developments, coming up with an architecture for the cloud was a challenge. However, by working together, the TAG and Google Cloud teams managed to keep things flowing more smoothly. Apps were built to work in a container infrastructure, so they could provide flexibility and a smart use of resources. 'We have been through these transformations and, since last year until today, we can say the system has matured,' explains TAG’s Director. As for the products, TAG’s team highlights both Cloud Bigtable, which helps the company with data processing, and Google Kubernetes Engine, which provides flexibility through a completely scalable infrastructure, where the company can plan and develop safely. By using Pub/Sub, an efficient tool that works as a queuing system to load tasks simultaneously, the company can separate workflows thanks to its internal processing control. Its transparent infrastructure was another highlight for the team. Besides the development team, the company has employees that work exclusively in the cloud. In other words, it’s a team that specializes in the business, assessing workflows, customizing and analyzing the usage of operational infrastructure as a whole.

Real-time In-vehicle Monitoring
The telematic solution provides this vital premium-adjusting information. The solution also helps detect and deter vehicle or trailer theft – as soon as a theft occurs, monitoring personnel can alert the appropriate authorities, providing an exact location.“With more and more insurance companies and major fleet operators interested in monitoring driver behaviour on the grounds of road safety, efficient logistics and costs, the market for this type of device and associated e-business services is growing rapidly within Italy and the rest of Europe,” says Franco.“The insurance companies are especially interested in the pay-per-use and pay-as-you-drive applications while other organisations employ the technology for road user charging.”“One million vehicles in Italy currently carry such devices and forecasts indicate that the European market will increase tenfold by 2014.However, for our technology to work effectively, we needed a highly reliable wireless data network to carry the information between the vehicles and monitoring stations.”

Safety First with Folksam
The competitiveness of the car insurance market is driving UBI growth as a means for insurance companies to differentiate their customer propositions as well as improving operational efficiency. An insurance model - usage-based insurance ("UBI") - offers possibilities for insurers to do more efficient market segmentation and accurate risk assessment and pricing. Insurers require an IoT solution for the purpose of data collection and performance analysis
Case Study
Smooth Transition to Energy Savings
The building was equipped with four end-of-life Trane water cooled chillers, located in the basement. Johnson Controls installed four York water cooled centrifugal chillers with unit mounted variable speed drives and a total installed cooling capacity of 6,8 MW. Each chiller has a capacity of 1,6 MW (variable to 1.9MW depending upon condenser water temperatures). Johnson Controls needed to design the equipment in such way that it would fit the dimensional constraints of the existing plant area and plant access route but also the specific performance requirements of the client. Morgan Stanley required the chiller plant to match the building load profile, turn down to match the low load requirement when needed and provide an improvement in the Energy Efficiency Ratio across the entire operating range. Other requirements were a reduction in the chiller noise level to improve the working environment in the plant room and a wide operating envelope coupled with intelligent controls to allow possible variation in both flow rate and temperature. The latter was needed to leverage increased capacity from a reduced number of machines during the different installation phases and allow future enhancement to a variable primary flow system.

Automated Pallet Labeling Solution for SPR Packaging
SPR Packaging, an American supplier of packaging solutions, was in search of an automated pallet labeling solution that could meet their immediate and future needs. They aimed to equip their lines with automatic printer applicators, but also required a solution that could interface with their accounting software. The challenge was to find a system that could read a 2D code on pallets at the stretch wrapper, track the pallet, and flag any pallets with unread barcodes for inspection. The pallets could be single or double stacked, and the system needed to be able to differentiate between the two. SPR Packaging sought a system integrator with extensive experience in advanced printing and tracking solutions to provide a complete traceability system.

Transforming insurance pricing while improving driver safety
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the car insurance industry on a scale not seen since the introduction of the car itself. For decades, premiums have been calculated using proxy-based risk assessment models and historical data. Today, a growing number of innovative companies such as Quebec-based Industrielle Alliance are moving to usage-based insurance (UBI) models, driven by the advancement of telematics technologies and smart tracking devices.

Enhancing Security and Compliance in Remitly's Global Money Transfer Service with Fastly
Remitly, an online remittance service, was faced with the challenge of securing its proprietary global transfer network. The company needed a security solution that could meet PCI requirements and protect customers' sensitive transactions through its mobile application. The solution had to be capable of defending against new and emerging attack types without impacting performance. Remitly also had to deal with irregular traffic patterns, such as a sudden spike in account transfers from a small network segment on the Pacific coastline of South America. The company needed to determine in real time whether such traffic indicated an attack or valid requests. A traditional web application firewall (WAF) would not be able to distinguish this traffic, potentially leading to customer frustration if the IP was blacklisted.
