SINGAPORE POOLS PRIVATE LIMITED
Leveraging on IT infrastructure to help charities digitalise
Singapore Pools has always aspired to be a “ Company for Good ” and is committed to leverage their strengths to achieve this goal . Leveraging their technology capital and IT expertise to benefit the community , Singapore Pools set up iShine Cloud in 2018 . iShine Cloud is a charity that provides other charities with an affordable and integrated suite of charity-specific solutions via a secure cloudbased IT platform . Using Singapore Pools ’ IT infrastructure , as well as other resources , iShine Cloud aims to improve the productivity , governance and efficiency of operations of charities , thus enabling them to focus on better serving their beneficiaries .
With iShine Cloud , Singapore Pools is able to help keep charities running amid the COVID-19 crisis . While the rest of Singapore forges ahead with various Smart Nation initiatives , the nonprofit sector has been struggling to pick up the pace . Digitisation is therefore paramount to address these challenges . iShine Cloud has since onboarded 31 charities with 1,512 users and is looking to expand its solutions and support more charities in the future .
2021 and Beyond Yeo is always looking for the next project . He admits that , due to the COVID-19 pandemic , a few strategic goals weren ’ t accomplished in 2020 . “ Because of COVID-19 , things were obviously slower last year ; instead of nine or 10 megaprojects , we only did five . Having said that , we still managed to go ahead with some essential projects ,” he says . “ This year , we will continue on our journey to upgrade and consolidate our major systems , bringing in our global partners to help us move forward and improve .”
