AppAsia转跑道先稳基础

财经周刊  2015-03-16 12:27
看准全球智能手机用户增长的潜能，AppAsia（APPASIA，0119，创业股）毅然进军智能手机应用程式业务，冀望可从两年内达770亿美元（约2789亿令吉）的市场分一杯羹。

APPASIA执行董事黄艺彪接受《南洋商报》专访时表示，虽然公司的手机应用程式业务才刚起步，但却秉持着“宁愿多给自己一点时间，也要先打好基础”的心态，旨在打稳基础，不急于扩张。

前身为嘉都（Extol MSC Berhad）的AppAsia，去年9月就开始策划进军新业务。

为了配合进军手机应用程式领域，该公司去年杪正式宣布易名为“AppAsia”，让公司名称与业务之间更有连贯性。

在这之前，AppAsia的业务主要是以“资讯科技保安（IT Security）”为主，且在领域已有超过30年的历史，占有一定席位。

不过，资讯科技保安业务的营运方式，主要是以企业对企业（B2B）为主，因此为了持续取得增长，公司意识到，必须直接从消费者着手。

于是，几经考量，AppAsia决定进军手机应用程式市场。

黄艺彪表示，手机应用程式业务没有区域界限，是属于全球性的业务，市场潜能极大。

“手机已经成为现代人不可或缺的必需品，我们一天几乎有30%至40%的时间，都花在手机上。随着智能手机面市，应用程式市场一路走来的增长亦非常蓬勃。”

他说，该业务前景明朗是不争的事实，不过公司所采取的模式，并不是接受客户要求制定应用程式的“订单”；反之，是计划分别通过两种模式来推动此业务。

开发程式争取下载次数

首先，AppAsia的目标，是自己开发市场上大部分人都会使用到的应用程式，旨在“赚得”点击下载次数。

客户下载了应用程式后，再从中赚广告费、In-App Purchase等。

In-App Purchase指的是应用程式中，所出现的“软件内付费内容”，可算是一个新的赚钱渠道。

第二，则是放眼与在线网站（Online Website）办得有声有色的大型企业合伙，为后者提供应用程式服务。若要全面接触客户，除了要将业务“搬到”线上，同时也不可忽略应用程式的商机。

很多老板或企业家会认为，公司已经有自己的网站，何必再多弄一个应用程式？

但黄艺彪说，应用程式是下载在客户的手机中，通过发放信息通知和活动，可以紧密拉近消费者与企业之间的关系，同时也能建立忠诚度。

从先进国起步“网站的竞争很大，今天客户光顾这家店，不代表下一次他还会再回来。”

他指出，应用程式握在客户的“手中”，本身就已经是个优势。挑战是，如何吸引人们去下载。

AppAsia放眼可从先进国取得更多营业额，因先进国较不抗拒In-AppPurchase，且支付美元对他们而言，也不会是个沉重的负担。

报道： 刘颖欣全球智能手机2017破30亿

爱立信（Ericsson）研究报告指出，2017年时，全球智能手机用户将超越30亿人。

智能手机的兴起，无疑将带动应用程式的增长，而调查机构Gartner也预计，应用程式在2017年的下载量料达2680亿次，相等于是770亿美元（约2789亿令吉）的营业额规模。

“从这些数据可以看出，应用程式市场潜能非常巨大。”

黄艺彪强调，应用程式业务靠的是创意，只要有一个应用程式成功受到市场欢迎，所带来的盈利是无法想象的。他比喻，这就像在睡梦中，也会有钱自动流入口袋一样。

为了开发符合市场“口味”的应用程式，AppAsia在去年12月杪成立了“应用程式人才俱乐部”（App Talent Club），招聘了40名专才。

“作为一家上市公司，我们追求的是稳定和持续性。所以，我们打造了一个平台，让专才可以发挥所长。”

环顾大马市场，其实也有很多涉足应用程式开发的小公司，惟一般都很难撑下去。

黄艺彪解释，这是因为小公司往往人力资源和营销资金都不足，导致生意难以持续。

扩大资讯科技保安业务

至于资讯科技保安业务，AppAsia则放眼进一步扩大区域市场和提升服务水平。目前，该业务概括新加坡、汶莱、柬埔寨、印尼、伦敦、香港、中国等。

AppAsia的资讯科技保安业务，主要是管理及监控企业在资讯科技上的保安，确保系统安全。

“我们有专人24小时，无时无刻监管客户的资讯科技保安系统，避免骇客入侵，或有人意图不轨。”

黄艺彪披露，此类客户主要由我国的金融机构所组成。相比智能手机应用程式业务，资讯科技保安业务需要投入更多的资金在基建设备，而且后者的销售周期较长。

今年，他放眼资讯科技保安业务可取得单位数增长。

2年380万研发新程式

手机应用程式经济不断增长，全球230万个手机应用程式研发者中，亚洲研发者共占了73%。应用程式讲求的是创意和独特，且成功之道在于受到市场的喜爱。

为了研发出迎合市场需求的应用程式，AppAsia未来两年将投入380万令吉资金在研发部门。另外，也将拨出830万令吉的营运资本，让公司得以持续运转，并购入必要的设备。

虽然黄艺彪非常乐观看待领域前景，但他也点出市场面临人才匮乏的窘境。

为了长远打算，该公司未雨绸缪，亲自到大学院校推广应用程式市场，同时与校方合作，安排学生到公司实习。他相信，在未来2至3年，AppAsia的品牌会受到广泛认识。

看好今年业绩

AppAsia最新公布的季度业绩显示，亏损进一步扩大至231万9000令吉；营业额也萎缩56.6%，报227万6000令吉。

黄艺彪解释，公司去年蒙亏归咎于注销（Write-off）的举动。

而营业额大幅减少，则是因为领域竞争加剧，和挑战激烈。不过，他仍正面看待今年的业绩表现。

“对我们而言，目前最重要的是先稳定基础，我们当然也希望可以转亏为盈。只有在公司赚钱后，才会考虑派息。”

他透露，公司目前零负债，现金也还算充裕，手上还持有一些固定资产。

去年9月，AppAsia建议以1配1附加股送1凭单比例，发出附加股，以筹集1389万6000令吉，作为营运资本和研发新产品用途。

拟并购壮大

前身为嘉都（EXTOL）的AppAsia，是在2006年挂牌马交所创业板。虽然上市已有9年时间，但黄艺彪说，以现在的情况而言，要谈转板言之过早。

“今年对我们来说，是转型和重组的一年。”

他频频强调，现阶段最重要是从基本做起，打好稳健根基，扩大营业额并不是公司的首要关注。

访谈过程中不难发现，AppAsia在维持资讯科技保安业务的步伐之际，对手机应用程式业务也抱有很大期望和抱负。

黄艺彪认为，手机应用程式业务和“小刀锯大树”有着相同的道理，都是投入最少的资源，最后成功获得最优化的回酬。

同时，该公司也不排除通过联营或并购方式，扩大业务版图。他坦言，公司一直都在寻觅合适的机会，惟目前尚未落实任何决定。

APPASIA公司 冀電子商務貢獻400萬

財經15 May 2015 21:15
（吉隆坡15日訊）電子商務商機龐大，APPASIA公司（APPASIA，0119，創業板科技）冀望此業務可在今年貢獻介于300萬至400萬令吉的營業額。

APPASIA公司執行董事黃藝彪說，目前是流動網絡時代，所以公司早前通過收購Just Retro公司進軍電子商務業。

“我們目前正改善Just Retro公司網站，加強用戶經驗及便利度，並進行品牌重塑，相信可貢獻今年營業額介于300萬至400萬令吉之間。”

他在APPASIA公司常年股東大會結束后，如是指出；出席者包括該公司主席拿督拉哈典。

該公司子公司Appasia Mall私人有限公司，在2月份通過內部融資，以150萬令吉，全面收購Just Retro公司。

除了電子商務業，該公司亦涉及資訊科技保安，及開發手機應用程式。

黃藝彪說，公司的核心業務仍是資訊科技保安，因為隨著網絡發達，市場相當重視網絡安全（Cyber Security）。

“就以公司研發的ePassport軟件來說，是一項通過安全認證（Authentication）保障公司資訊和數據的軟件。相信不少金融機構，對這項可降低營運成本的軟件感興趣。”

他指出，該公司至今已推出約20項手機應用程式。【中国报财经】
