London – 20 April 2021: W2, a Cardiff based technology provider, today announced its strategic partnership with kompany, a RegTech platform for Know Your Company (KYC) and Know Your Business (KYB). The partnership will allow W2’s client base to access the RegTech’s latest KYB offering, including its global Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) data, via its award-winning compliance platform.
W2’s partnership with kompany will ensure that W2’s range of clients across regulated industries have access to real-time, accurate and audit-proof entity information directly from the primary source. The partnership will not only allow W2’s clients to reduce manual and time consuming KYB processes but will ensure a truly seamless onboarding journey for its clients’ customers.
“Partnering with kompany is a critical for the strategic development of W2,” said Warren Russell, CEO & Founder of W2. “The ability to offer our clients access to company filings and real-time business information allows for more streamlined compliance with the 5th and 6th Anti-Money Laundering Directives and ensures that the effectiveness and efficiency of the digital onboarding journey is enhanced.”
The partnership will provide full details on all shareholder information, as well as annual and financial accounts direct from official commercial registers worldwide using kompany’s extended UBO service. This will enable W2’s clients to comply with regulations with the most up-to-date and accurate information available.

“In fact, nearly 75% of these businesses are still relying on Google searches to complete their customer due diligence. We are excited to bring our RegTech platform to W2 and empower their clients to get the best value out of their compliance procedures with the greatest ease and confidence possible.”

oneM2M launches new initiative to promote sustainability via IoT technologies and open-standard systems

Sophia Antipolis, France, 20 April 2021: The industrial Internet of Things (IoT) can add $14 trillion of economic value to the global economy by 2030 according to the World Economic Forum’s “Guidelines for Sustainability”. However, while technology driven change can be a tremendous driver for value creation, some of its side effects, including wasteful usage patterns and throwaway technology, can undermine total gains. This highlights why organizations need to factor first- and second-order sustainability principles in their technology and design choices.

Since 2012, oneM2M has been leading a multi-national, open, and collaborative approach to create an extensible standard for IoT systems. From the outset, oneM2M participants recognized the importance of defining a general-purpose architecture applicable to a wide range of application domains. The intention was to avoid competing standardization efforts, at the technical and national levels. oneM2M also encourages interoperability by helping developers to re-use existing and established technologies, some of which are specific to individual industry domains. oneM2M’s principles align with well-accepted sustainability objectives that seek to minimize duplicative efforts while prolonging the usefulness of legacy investments and fostering economies of scale.
oneM2M is now launching an industry facing initiative on sustainability. It aims to promote the beneficial impact of IoT systems, the importance of open-standard solutions and the significant role that the oneM2M standard has in improving the sustainability of IoT deployments.
Dale Seed, convenor of oneM2M’s sustainability initiative from Interdigital and Convida Wireless, noted that “The concept received strong cross-member support when first discussed and reflects the priority that corporations are putting on this issue. By launching this initiative, we want to help businesses build sustainability using IoT systems. We also want to show them how to choose sustainable technologies and prepare for the new innovation possibilities that these technologies enable.”
On top of its member base, participation in oneM2M’s sustainability initiative is open to the wider technology and software services communities. This is because most IoT systems rely on partnerships among suppliers along business and operational value chains. Since the IoT and associated technologies such as AI, cloud computing and mobile internet are enablers of digital transformation, the oneM2M initiative also aims to work across industry domains.
“Mobile networks and IoT technologies are among the topmost candidates for enabling sustainability in the way that organizations manage their environmental footprint. This new initiative offers a way to help organizations build IoT systems based on an open standards framework that is scalable and minimizes waste by re-using established technologies and legacy systems”, said Enrico Scarrone, Steering Committee Chair at oneM2M.
Building on the contributions of more than 250 members organisations, oneM2M specifications provide a framework to support end-to-end IoT systems, applications, and services. The horizontal architecture and framework for oneM2M technical specifications has been developed in an open and collaborative environment, with a clear governance framework. These factors facilitate trust in its specifications, cross-vendor interoperability tests and certification efforts.
The first meeting of the new oneM2M Sustainability Sub-Committee will take place on the 20th April 2021. For more information on oneM2M’s current work, visit: www.oneM2M.org.

About oneM2MoneM2M is the global standards initiative that covers requirements, architecture, API specifications, security solutions and interoperability for Machine-to-Machine and IoT technologies. oneM2M was formed in 2012 and consists of eight of the world's preeminent standards development organizations: ARIB (Japan), ATIS (U.S.), CCSA (China), ETSI (Europe), TIA (U.S.), TSDSI (India), TTA (Korea), and TTC (Japan), together with industry fora or consortia (GlobalPlatform) and over 200 member organizations. oneM2M specifications provide a framework to support applications and services such as the smart grid, connected car, home automation, public safety, and health. oneM2M actively encourages industry associations and forums with specific application requirements to participate in oneM2M, in order to ensure that the solutions developed support their specific needs.
