CDOTrends
Online/Digital
CDOTrends is Asia’s only content portal dedicated to the needs of the Chief Digital Officer. It shares the latest news, highlights best practices, examines emerging trends and provides an invaluable resource for CDOs and other Business Leaders engaged with a company’s digital & data strategy. It is also structured to evolve with CDOs, as their own job scopes and responsibilities expand in the digital era.
CDOTrends delivers insight and analysis on key topics related to an enterprise’s future by focusing on six core areas including Digital Strategy, AI & Machine Learning, Customer Experience Management, Digital Privacy, Analytics and our peer inspired leadership insights and case studies on CDOUniversity.
CDOTrends is also pragmatic. We recognize that the CDO title might vary slightly or is an additional responsibility of another executive like a CIO, COO, CMO or other senior title, but the job focus remains the same: define a firm’s digital strategy, execute it across the organization and build a digitally and data optimized enterprise. Our portal, newsletter and related events are designed to empower CDOs and those tasked with digital responsibilities, stay updated on the latest strategies, innovative technologies and best practices, provide a one-stop shop for related news, whitepapers, research and case studies and expand career horizons by offering leadership insights from CDO peers.
For marketers, CDOTrends is the most direct way to engage with CDOs and those empowered with the digital vision and strategy for their enterprise in Asia. The combination of our website, e-newsletter, research, conferences and customized events creates an engaged community of these hard to reach and identify executives. Source

Search ArticlesNTT’s Pitch to Hong Kong Banks: Prove Where Your AI Lives
Every bank has some version of the same story. A fraud model trains beautifully. It clears every benchmark. Then it hits production, and a compliance officer asks the question nobody prepped for: where does the data actually sit? Not which cloud. Which building, which jurisdiction, whose law applies if something goes wrong. Often there’s no clean answer, and the project stalls in a folder marked "pending legal review." NTT Com Asia used the recent LEAP East 2026 to pitch a fix for exactly that folder.
ELS - When Recovery Becomes Regulation: What Every Data Leader Needs to Know
Everpure Leadership Series: When Recovery Becomes Regulation: What Every Data Leader Needs to Know Every AI program in the Asia Pacific is built on an untested assumption: that when disruption hits, the underlying data can be recovered quickly, cleanly and with enough integrity to keep models trustworthy. Most of the time, that assumption is wrong, and regulators know it.
AI Changes the Game for Identity Management
When organizations verify the identities of those they are transacting with online, they are not only identifying humans but also AI agents. With the proliferation of agentic AI and its adoption at scale by consumers, agents are doing the shopping, booking travel, ordering from restaurants, and even doing banking transactions. Agents are assimilating into the world of online communication and transacting at a rapid pace.
Rebuilding the Plumbing, Not the Paint
Every enterprise software vendor wants to tell you about its AI strategy. Almost all of them sound the same: bolt a chatbot onto the dashboard, wrap it in a press release, charge extra. ManageEngine, the enterprise IT arm of Indian software giant Zoho Corporation, is doing something less common — actually rebuilding the plumbing, not just the paint job. And that story, told during a media roundtable in Jakarta, is worth diving into.
Why APAC’s SOCs Need a Nervous System, Not Another Box
Asia-Pacific enterprises are pouring money into cybersecurity and are still getting hacked. It’s a contradiction that sits at the center of a conversation with Jack Chan, Fortinet’s global vice president of product management and field CTO for APAC, who has spent nearly 20 years watching the region’s security stacks grow taller without growing smarter. “There’s no coherent architecture of how to use AI and machine learning,” Chan said.
Tackle Enterprise AI’s Hardest Question at Forrester’s AI Forums
Every organization is investing in AI. Far fewer are getting business outcomes from it. Forrester’s Customer Experience Index (CX Index™) scores remain mediocre, AI-related costs are growing faster than the value they create, and the gap between experimentation and execution is widening. That’s the hurdle we’ll help you overcome at Forrester’s AI Forums this year, happening in Singapore on August 20 and Sydney on August 25.
The Borderless Stack: How Malaysia is Engineering Future Commerce with Alipay+
Cross-border payment is hard, and it is where Douglas Feagin started his presentation at a recent May media event in Kuala Lumput. “Payment is not simple, and it’s not like just a kind of open door where you can go do it,” shared president of Ant International, the Alipay+ parent that now runs with its own board. Yet, 45% of his company’s cross-border transactions already settle on a blockchain. That’s real money, moving in production, every day. “And that was beyond what...
The Cashless Blueprint: How Alipay Is Rewiring Malaysia’s Money
Douglas Feagin flew to Washington earlier in the year and told the House Financial Services Committee something no bank had told them. Forty-five percent of his company’s cross-border transactions already settle on a blockchain. That’s real money, moving in production, every day. “And that was beyond what they had heard from any of the institutions around the world," says Feagin, president of Ant International, the Alipay parent that now runs with its own board.
The Man Building a Universal Translator for the Human Mind
There’s a moment in every good sci-fi story where two beings who share no common tongue suddenly understand each other perfectly. Star Trek called it the universal translator. Phoenix Peng calls it Tuesday. “Language is a compression layer,” Peng said during our fireside chat at BEYOND EXPO Macau 2026.
The Company That Wants to Be the Plumbing Under Your AI
Ask any chief digital officer, or chief data officer, in Asia-Pacific to do the math on this, and the numbers stop adding up fast. You’ve spent years, and a small fortune, making sure your data stays where regulators want it: Localized, residency-compliant, and audited within an inch of its life. Then you plug it into a large language model trained on someone else’s data, hosted under someone else’s laws and governed by someone else’s values. Congratulations.
