(“Hywin,” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HYW), a leading independent wealth management service provider in China, today announced it will provide its high-net-worth clients with 360-degree analysis of individual client preferences to offer precisely targeted services by leveraging IBM Cloud Pak for Data and the IBM Garage.

Hywin is able to rapidly iterate its analytics capabilities to meet the needs of business users. To fully integrate client data and analyze client preferences, Hywin selected IBM Cloud Pak for Data – a data and AI platform that empowers organizations to collect, organize, and analyze data, wherever it resides. Through the IBM Garage, a collaborative approach to fast track innovation and drive meaningful and lasting transformation, Hywin rapidly iterated its analytics capabilities throughout the project, complementing the requirements of business users.

Hywin has built a mature data strategy, underpinned by effective analytics processes and data governance controls using these IBM products and consulting. The approach allows the company to provide analytics insights up to 40% faster, driving its client-centric transformation. To retain clients for the long term, Hywin has created a detailed model of the client lifecycle. This model allows the organization to identify client behaviors that could indicate an increased risk of churn, such as reduced engagement with the company’s client portal or declining asset allocations.

“We chose IBM because they share our agile development philosophy,” commented Hua Zhu, Hywin’s Chief Technology Officer. “Through frequent iteration, our aim was to keep the new digital capabilities tightly aligned with Hywin’s business requirements. By closely communicating with the business, from the time requirements are raised to the time they are implemented, we can ensure that the analytics products we are developing will deliver a great client experience.”

Madame Wang Dian, CEO of Hywin Holdings, expressed her enthusiasm for working with IBM’s solutions. “This collaboration is part of Hywin’s long-term strategy to enhance our products with more value-added customized services, and to build a more integrated information ecosystem to maximize the benefits we can provide to our high-net-worth clients”.

“Hywin is dedicated to meeting the increasing demand for diversified wealth management services and has been offering high-quality customized products with differentiated services such as the ‘1+N+X’ service model and the ‘X-link’ digital sales platform. We believe that offering such services throughout the client lifecycle will not only enhance the core competitiveness of our proprietary technology infrastructure, but also help establish longer-term relationships with our clients, and help them to weather market cycles. Hywin is open-minded about partnering with reputable technology consultants to accelerate our WealthTech deployment and provide more diversified, valuable, and convenient services to our clients in the future.”
