It’s almost halfway through 2023, the year of the black rabbit. The first half of 2023 has passed and now we are preparing for the second half of the year in the midst of hot summer.

What were some of the important events that took place in SINSIWAY in the first half of 2023? In this post, we will briefly introduce key events of the first half of the year.

The third open recruitment employees have joined SINSIWAY

In January 2023, nine new employees have joined SINSIWAY through the third open recruitment. 

SINSIWAY HR Training Team provides new employees training for three months for new employees' understanding of our products and their duties. New employees recruited through the third open recruitment were assigned to Technical Support Headquarters and R&D Headquarters after three months' training. We hope that our new employees adapt to the workplace and grow with a passionate mindset!

2023 Kick Off

In the first half of the year, we could go back to our daily lives with COVID-19 endemic. In January 2023, the kick off event, which had been suspended for a while, was held with all employees. The kick off event consisted of the awards ceremony for workers in long-term service, the draw for handing over the company cars, the survival quiz program, etc. It was a meaningful event in which all employees could gather in one place after three years. We could start the new year more cheerfully through the kick off event.

SINSIWAY applied for a patent on the method and system for SaaS-based database access control gateway services

After applying a domestic patent in September 2022, we have also applied for a PCT patent on “The Method and System for a SaaS-based Database Access Control Gateway Services” in February 2023. The PCT, standing for the Patent Cooperation Treat, provides a unified procedure for filing patent applications with the PCT members at one go. By applying for a PCT patent, we could establish a foothold for overseas business expansion based on our advanced technology.
