NTT Data unveils integrated payment solutions suite Adaptis
PETALING JAYA: NTT Data Payment Services has unveiled Adaptis, a suite of integrated payment solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of modern businesses.
Introduced at an exclusive brand launch event, Adaptis marks a strategic milestone in the company's transformation, bringing together innovation, flexibility and regional expertise to shape the future of commerce in Southeast Asia.
The Adaptis suite of services comprises five key offerings designed to empower businesses with enhanced flexibility and efficiency.
Adaptis In-Store is suited for seamless retail transactions, Adaptis e-Commerce for secure online payments, Adaptis Financing to support business growth, Adaptis Enterprise for scalable payment infrastructure, and Adaptis VAS (value-added services) is to optimise business operations.
NTT Data group CEO and executive director Sean Hesh said Adaptis is the company's answer to the evolving demands of the digital economy.
'Having served Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines for decades, and with over 500,000 touchpoints across these countries, we understand what businesses need. Adaptis is built to be flexible, localised, and future-ready, helping businesses scale efficiently while providing customers with seamless payment experiences,' he said.
NTT Data head of global payments and services division, Japan, Shinichiro Nishikawa emphasised the strategic importance of this evolution, stating that 'the future of payments is not just about transactions, it's about ecosystems.
'By bringing together Asian payments industry leaders under the NTT Data umbrella, we are building a more connected, intelligent, and resilient regional commerce infrastructure. Adaptis reflects our commitment to seamless integration, localised solutions, and large-scale innovation that empowers businesses worldwide,' he said.
The launch of Adaptis comes after the acquisition of GHL Systems Bhd by NTT Data Japan in 2024, making it a wholly owned subsidiary of one of the world's top ten global IT service providers.
In line with this strategic transformation, the company officially rebranded as NTT Data Payment Services Sdn Bhd on Nov 13, 2024, aligning with its new vision while maintaining the high standards of service that merchants and businesses have come to expect.
Following its debut in Malaysia, the Adaptis suite will be rolled out in Thailand and the Philippines later this year, strengthening NTT Data's commitment to delivering cutting-edge payment solutions across the region.

Russia signs investment deal with Myanmar, sees offshore oil and gas prospects
ST PETERSBUR (Reuters): Russia signed an investment agreement with Myanmar on Friday that it said could open up new opportunities for Russian energy companies in the south Asian country. "We especially note the readiness of the Myanmar side to attract Russian companies to the development of offshore oil and gas fields," Economy Minister Maxim Reshetnikov said after signing the agreement in St Petersburg with Kan Zaw, Myanmar's minister of investment and foreign economic relations. Russia said the deal would help accelerate projects including in Myanmar's Dawei special economic zone, where a 660 MW coal-fired thermal power plant is being developed. Russia has been building closer ties with Myanmar's military junta, which seized power in 2021 by toppling the elected government of Nobel peace prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi. The country is struggling with internal conflict, an economy in tatters, widespread hunger and a third of the nation's 55 million people in need of aid, according to the United Nations. Junta chief Min Aung Hlaing met Russian President Vladimir Putin in March and signed an agreement on construction of a small-scale nuclear plant in Myanmar. A month earlier, the two countries signed a memorandum on construction of a port and oil refinery in the Dawei economic zone. Friday's agreement will also facilitate cooperation in areas including transport infrastructure, metallurgy, agriculture and telecommunications, the Russian government said.

Japan scraps US meeting after Washington demands more defense spending
WASHINGTON: Japan has canceled a regular high-level meeting with its key ally the United States after the Trump administration demanded it spend more on defense, the Financial Times reported on Friday. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had been expected to meet Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya and Defense Minister Gen Nakatani in Washington on July 1 for the annual 2+2 security talks. But Tokyo scrapped the meeting after the U.S. asked Japan to boost defense spending to 3.5% of gross domestic product, higher than an earlier request of 3%, the newspaper said, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter. Japan's Nikkei newspaper reported on Saturday that President Donald Trump's government was demanding that its Asian allies, including Japan, spend 5% of GDP on defense. A U.S. official who asked not to be identified told Reuters that Japan had 'postponed' the talks in a decision made several weeks ago. The official did not cite a reason. A non-government source familiar with the issue said he had also heard Japan had pulled out of the meeting but not the reason for it doing so. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said she had no comment on the FT report when asked about it at regular briefing. The Pentagon also had no immediate comment. Japan's embassy in Washington did not respond to a request for comment. The nation's foreign and defense ministries and the Prime Minister's Office did not answer phone calls seeking comment outside business hours on Saturday. The FT said the higher spending demand was made in recent weeks by Elbridge Colby, the third-most senior Pentagon official, who has also recently upset another key U.S. ally in the Indo-Pacific by launching a review of a project to provide Australia with nuclear-powered submarines. In March, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said that other nations do not decide Japan's defense budget after Colby, in his nomination hearing to be under secretary of defense for policy, called for Tokyo to spend more to counter China. Japan and other U.S. allies have been engaged in difficult trade talks with the United States over President Donald Trump's worldwide tariff offensive. The FT said the decision to cancel the July 1 meeting was also related to Japan's July 20 upper house elections, expected to be a major test for Ishiba's minority coalition government. Japan's move on the 2+2 comes ahead of a meeting of the U.S.-led NATO alliance in Europe next week, at which Trump is expected to press his demand that European allies boost their defense spending to 5% of GDP.
