Mr. Liu Yan, Deputy Mayor of Dalian

Under the situation of informatization transformation, how is Dalian's information service industry and software industry positioned?

Liu Gang, deputy director of Dalian Economic and Information Commission, believes that this positioning itself is both a problem and a pressure, but it can also be an opportunity. How to position it? This can be considered from two aspects:

On the one hand, after more than 20 years of development in Dalian, the software and information technology service industry has already had a certain foundation and scale, and has also formed a relatively independent industry. As an independent industry, with the continuous maturity and promotion of information technology, the future development of Dalian's software and information technology service industry must be oriented towards the representative technical directions of "cloud, big data, Internet of Things, and mobile" to promote business development. This time, the Dalian Municipal Government and Huawei held a conference, which also showed that the Dalian Municipal Government has a clear direction for the promotion of software and information technology services. The Dalian Municipal Government will promote the transformation of Dalian's software enterprises to the Internet and cloud.

On the other hand, in the Internet+ era, software and information technology services are actually playing an indispensable supporting industry and role for all industries to develop towards digitalization and intelligence. Can Dalian's software and information technology services industry take on such a supporting industry and role? In the domestic market, especially in the implementation of the national strategy of Made in China 2025, Dalian's software and information technology services industry needs to further strengthen its independent innovation capabilities and further explore new business models.

In the future, Dalian High-tech Zone will develop software industry

Yuan Chi, deputy director of the Dalian High-tech Industrial Park Management Committee, said that since the Dalian High-tech Zone started developing the software industry in 1996, after more than 20 years of development, it has now formed more than 9,000 companies, nearly 210,000 people, and an output value of more than 150 billion yuan. In the process of development, IT development clustering, specialization, and cloudification have brought many challenges. Faced with challenges, the High-tech Zone chose to promote industrial upgrading and transformation through IT leadership. The details are as follows:

First, walk with giants, and adopt internationalization and talent strategies. Dalian Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone has proposed the strategy of "dancing with wolves" and walking with giants, and through their advantages, Dalian has been pushed to the forefront and the highest end in the world. At present, Dalian has reached cooperation with Huawei and other companies in conjunction with the future Internet of Things.

Second, increase penetration into the domestic market through the cloud, especially Huawei's development cloud.

Third, we will strengthen the transformation and upgrading of small and medium-sized enterprises and build various platforms. Huawei's software development cloud platform is actually an innovative platform for small and medium-sized enterprises, which also gives small and medium-sized enterprises an opportunity to provide services to large companies, thus driving the transformation and upgrading of small and medium-sized enterprises.

Fourth, guide our industrial development through big data.

Looking ahead, Yuan Chi told reporters that as of last week, the industrial growth rate of Dalian High-tech Zone in 2016 had reached 24.2%. In the future, Dalian High-tech Zone will seize the international end, seize the platform construction, and promote the cooperation between large and small companies. In the wave of cloud, big data and smart city construction, through innovation-driven, transformation and upgrading, it will drive the healthy development of industrial parks.

Dalian will continue to deepen cooperation with Huawei in the fields of intelligent manufacturing and service-oriented manufacturing

Liu Yan, deputy mayor of Dalian, said that on the one hand, Dalian's software industry has a certain foundation for development, and it is also facing the task of transformation and upgrading. In the past, Dalian's information service industry and software industry were dominated by software outsourcing. Now it seems that in order to promote the upgrading of the software industry, it is necessary to enhance independent innovation capabilities and form independent core technologies. Cloud computing technology represents the future of IT industry development, so it is imperative to create an industrial environment for cloud computing in Dalian through cooperation with Huawei Enterprise Cloud.

On the other hand, from the perspective of enterprises, the software industry gathers a large number of small and medium-sized software enterprises, which are also the main users of software development cloud. Because every software enterprise needs to carry out software R&D innovation with high efficiency and high quality. Huawei Software Development Cloud is a large-scale cloud service network with wide network coverage, which can provide professional, secure and reliable cloud services for a large number of small and medium-sized software enterprises.

Therefore, in the future, with the implementation of the "Made in China 2025 Dalian Action Plan", the Dalian Municipal Government will focus on the fields of intelligent manufacturing, service-oriented manufacturing, etc., build Dalian's cloud computing industrial ecological environment, continue to deepen cooperation with Huawei, promote the construction of cloud computing infrastructure, enhance cloud computing service capabilities, and further cultivate the formation of the cloud service market. At the same time, it will further support the research and development and application of key technologies around cloud computing and big data, and drive the development of Dalian's software companies.

Final Thoughts

In June 2015, the Dalian Municipal Government and Huawei reached a strategic consensus on jointly building a software cloud service platform and promoting the construction of Dalian Smart City.

After more than a year of joint efforts by both parties, Huawei Dalian Software Development Cloud Public Service Platform currently has 1,100 development projects and more than 200 customers, including software companies, manufacturing companies, training institutions, and colleges and universities. In particular, the focus on building four cloud projects, namely industrial simulation cloud, medical cloud, cross-border e-commerce cloud, and Internet cloud, has achieved good interim results. It is of great significance to build Dalian Software Development Cloud Ecosystem, aggregate upstream and downstream partners of the industrial chain, enhance the competitiveness of Dalian software service industry, and promote the transformation and upgrading of software and information industries.
