BANGKOK — SAENRUK ARUKAS, a leading innovator in real-time data management, creates a phenomenon online by introducing Thailand’s first “Online Real-Time Crisis Management Centre” combining the world-class knowledge from Estonia, a NASA-sponsored Ph.D. scientist from Thailand and expertise from top tier crisis management PR specialists to present 24-hour crisis management innovation, ready to leverage toward an understanding of customers’ opinions online and offline via smartphones.

Dr. Virachai Techavijit, Honorary Consul General of the Republic of Estonia, Founder and Chairman of Regent’s International Schools & Colleges and Co-Founder, shareholder, chairman of SAENRUK ARUKAS Company Limited said, “Digital technology has played an increasingly important role in people’s lives.  Any executive failing to realize that will fade away, regardless of how great he was. In my capacity as the Consul General, I travel to Estonia every year and I have seen a steady development of the country toward one of the world’s most developed digital societies.   The government services have been available via electronic system or e-Governance since 2002. Almost 100 percent of the public services are now digital.  Estonian people don’t have to go to the government offices to carry out their legal transactions, except for marriages, divorces and real-estate transactions. Therefore, I was looking for the most promising and visionary Thai startup to apply Estonian technology to link and manage Big Data and transform it into smart data for Thai and international businesses. Finally, I found Saenruk Arukas.”

Therefore, we have launched the first Online Real-Time Crisis Management Centre (ORCC) to elevate the crisis management service in Thailand.”

Mr. Phukij added, “Online Real-Time Crisis Management Centre” presents an innovation to provide a 24/7 comprehensive crisis management by utilizing our unique expertise:

1. Our talented team of crisis-management specialists with years of experiences consisting of the top tier professionals from public relations and social media data analysts to provide advice to enable companies and brands to make informed decisions for immediate responsive measures and effective crisis management.

2. Since technology is an essential tool for companies and brands to survey, examine and monitor several hundreds of millions of online data, the company has developed a software to detect the severity of viral information online and on social media and the danger of turning those online customer opinions into the “mainstream” media. These potential crises require immediate and effective management.

3. An extensive experience of our team who can help companies cover their bases 24 hours.
