en.Wedoany.com Reported - NCS has expanded its sovereign-grade and enterprise-grade AI platform and product suite, Sunshine.AI, established new industry-specific partnerships, and committed to nurturing the next generation of AI talent. These initiatives aim to help organizations transition from AI experimentation to enterprise-wide transformation with the required speed, security, and governance. The plans were announced at its annual technology forum, NCS AI Impact 2026.

Sam Liew, CEO of NCS, stated that the real opportunity lies in redesigning core operations to achieve exponential outcomes. He believes that to deploy AI at scale, organizations need partners with deep industry expertise and platforms built for enterprise-grade security and governance. As Singapore advances its national AI agenda, NCS is committed to helping customers translate this ambition into measurable results.

To enable enterprise AI transformation, NCS has integrated platforms, products, specialized talent, industry partnerships, and practical implementation experience, allowing customers to apply AI better, faster, and more securely, with security and governance built in from the start.

For organizations that need to deploy AI within their own environments while maintaining full data control, NCS's expanded Sunshine.AI suite offers sovereign-grade enterprise AI with built-in security, governance, and compliance. The suite includes several products: Sunshine.core is an AI foundation platform for building and running production-grade AI agents, featuring a library of reusable, mix-and-match components; Sunshine.builder is an AI-driven application that enables business analysts to build software applications without writing code; Sunshine.chilliclaw is an enterprise-ready AI assistant that embeds agentic intelligence into software employees already use; Sunshine.commanderAI is a physical AI platform that serves as a single command center for multi-vendor robot fleets, with built-in safety controls designed for large-scale deployment; RAMP is an invitation-only sandbox, developed in collaboration with NCS, the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center (GenAIIC), Dell Technologies, and NVIDIA, to build customer solutions for public safety, smart buildings, and physical operations; Sunshine.guardian is NCS's AI safety and assurance engine for agentic AI in production environments, ensuring security through monitoring, simulated attacks, and automated remediation, while generating audit-ready records compliant with trust standards.

NCS has also upgraded its tools with agentic AI capabilities: Sunshine.coder has improved developer productivity and quality by 15%; Sunshine.operations has reduced IT incident escalations by 40%; Sunshine.productivity saves employees over two hours per week. These upgrades are complemented by Sunshine.kaisense, NCS's advanced video AI platform for real-time monitoring and analysis.

NCS is deploying AI in industries such as healthcare, transportation, and education to demonstrate its effectiveness under real-world constraints. Partnerships include: signing a Memorandum of Understanding with IHH Healthcare to jointly establish a Center of Excellence for AI, developing and deploying AI solutions across its multinational network to enhance clinical excellence, operational efficiency, and cost management; collaborating with NHG Health to deploy agentic AI in areas such as biometrics, digital pathology, and human resources transformation to streamline operations, strengthen clinical workflows, and improve patient outcomes; partnering with Ngee Ann Polytechnic to deploy AI tutors to address individual learning gaps, with adult learners reporting positive impacts in a recent pilot, and embedding Sunshine.coder tools into ICT curricula; working with South Korea's Autonomous A2Z to build an autonomous shuttle service for its employees, integrating ROii vehicles with NCS's RobotManager platform to create an operational blueprint for future customer projects; and collaborating with Alibaba Cloud and Tongyi Qianwen, combining their AI platforms and foundation models with NCS's expertise in AI governance, security, and system integration, enabling organizations to adopt AI safely while optimizing performance, scalability, and cost efficiency, accelerating the adoption of enterprise AI solutions.

NCS is also expanding into physical AI and human-centric care through exoskeleton technology and integrated medical solutions. Partners include Fourier Rehab, deploying medical exoskeletons to accelerate patient recovery; Hypershell, advancing all-terrain exoskeleton technology; iMedWay, providing digital solutions for data-driven efficiency; and LinkDoc, bringing AI-driven clinical trials and regulatory innovation to healthcare customers. These partnerships combine industry domain knowledge with NCS's technical expertise, demonstrating how AI can deliver measurable outcomes in regulated, high-risk environments.

NCS has also built a top-tier technology partner ecosystem, including AI leader Mistral AI, data platform pioneer VAST Data, humanoid robot expert AGIBOT, and enterprise AI deployment company Lian Xin, enabling NCS and its customers to access a full range of technologies from the global AI landscape.

To support Singapore's National AI Strategy 2.0, NCS is cultivating AI talent at every career stage, from early-career professionals to top management leaders. For senior leaders, NCS is collaborating with the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), the National University of Singapore's School of Continuing and Lifelong Education (SCALE), Shanghai Jiao Tong University (represented by the SJTU Asia-Pacific Graduate Institute), and AI Singapore (AISG) to develop and deliver a series of applied AI masterclasses for senior executives, with role-specific courses such as AI Economics for financial leaders and AI Governance for risk leaders. For specialized AI talent, NCS has partnered with the Digital Industry Singapore (DISG) to accelerate its AI transformation through targeted workforce development, recruiting over 130 AI practitioners within three years, building advanced and differentiated AI capabilities within its central AI team, and establishing specialized expertise.

NCS has also released the NCS AI Playbook, a practitioner's blueprint derived from over 100 AI projects, organized around two questions: "Are we doing the right thing? Are we doing things the right way?" The blueprint includes the 3R framework, redefining AI from cost reduction to value creation: Customer Return, Employee Return, and Future Return. It identifies five reasons for AI failure: unclear costs, unchanged business processes, unready data, ungoverned agent development, and unknown security risks. The blueprint also proposes four execution pillars: Cheaper, Better, Faster, Safer. Cheaper involves token strategy and model selection, reducing costs by up to 82% and improving response speed by 3 to 10 times through monitoring and cost control. Better involves AI-ready data and workflow redesign, building AI on clean, well-governed data and reimagining workflows. Faster involves the NCS AI Accelerator, using reusable, pre-tested building blocks. Safer involves built-in safeguards, applying security guardrails and AI-to-AI cyber defense from day one. Applying these pillars together unlocks the highest returns, shifting enterprises from low short-term ROI to long-term transformative growth.

Underpinning these initiatives is a new operational structure that brings industry expertise closer to customers. NCS has reorganized into 10 industry-specific operating groups, supported by two service organizations: Applications and Communications Engineering (ACE) for AI agent-led delivery, and Digital Resilience (DR) for secure and resilient operations. This structure is anchored by a newly established central AI team, responsible for driving strategy, accelerating innovation, and ensuring the safe and responsible adoption of AI across the organization.
