Digital transformation enters the "immersion period". Huawei helps government and enterprise industries embrace digitalization without blind spots.

[51CTO.com original article] Recently, the recurrence of the epidemic has once again made the whole society tense. However, unlike the beginning of the year, all industries and sectors of the epidemic prevention front started working in an orderly manner at the first time, and were ready to fight with a degree of relaxation. Many people are sighing, "In dealing with the recurrence of the new coronavirus, China is familiar with it and has become an 'expert'." The digitalization level of many industries has also been rapidly improved during the epidemic: in the medical industry, doctors can open dozens of CT images in a few seconds with 5G mobile phones. At the same time, with the help of 5G networks, remote consultations by experts from multiple parties have become more efficient; in the field of government affairs, managers break through the limitations of time and space through remote video conferencing, control the overall situation, and make decisive decisions; in the process of resuming production and work, the advantages and value of remote office are also constantly emerging; in traditional industries such as transportation, education, and manufacturing, the integration of new generation ICT technology not only drives the innovation of industry applications, but also further demonstrates the value of digital transformation of the industry.

What accelerated their digital transformation? The answer may be the sudden outbreak of the epidemic. What made their digital transformation so precise and efficient? The answer must be ICT vendors that understand technology, business, and innovation. There are very few vendors that can do everything, and Huawei is undoubtedly one of them. Recently, Huawei China Government Business officially released its "knowledgeable" image and launched a new concept of "knowledgeable and focused on industry digital transformation", highlighting Huawei China Government Business's determination to help customers create digital transformation business value by providing professional industry digital transformation capabilities.

The industry's digital transformation is driven by both internal and external factors, and all it needs is an industry leader

Since 2015, digital transformation has become a frequently used term among industry customers. Over the years, industry customers have gone from the hazy period of being impacted by digitalization, to the initial reaction period, to the progress period of digitalization in some business links, and have become increasingly clear about their own development goals and directions. For this reason, when digital transformation enters the "immersion period", more industry customers are no longer satisfied with the simple "Internet + basic informatization", but hope to organically integrate digital technology with core business to achieve continuous business transformation.

At this time, the new infrastructure that the country is focusing on has brought stronger impetus to industry customers. The current focus of "new infrastructure" is based on the strategic needs of the national economy, industrial upgrading and digital transformation needs, and major people's livelihood needs. In essence, the significance of "new infrastructure" lies not in scale, but in driving effect. The mutual promotion of industry digital transformation by supply and demand is an important carrier for driving value creation.

Objectively speaking, today's "new infrastructure" relies on infrastructure investment, which will lead to more industry digital transformation needs, thereby driving the creation of greater transformation value. Industry customers in the immersion period also urgently need to go deep into the industry and explore the deep opportunities for industry digital transformation brought about by the deep integration of technology and scenarios.

For government and enterprise industry users, both internal demand and external environment are already "ready", and the only thing missing is a leader who is "knowledgeable" in the field of industry digital transformation. In other words, enterprises in various industries need a "knowledgeable" partner who can deeply understand business needs, deeply integrate innovative technologies with application scenarios, and have a mature ecosystem to create a new space for industry digital transformation.

Who is this partner?

The author believes that it is Huawei's Chinese government business, which has just released the "knowledgeable" image. Just as the "knowledgeable" main visual presents, it is composed of two red arrows connected end to end, representing integration and transformation: Huawei's Chinese government business, which has been deeply involved in the industry market for many years, actively promotes the deep integration of industry and technology, coming from the industry and going to the industry, hoping to work together with the ecosystem, accumulate strength in an accelerated changing environment, and create more possibilities for the digital transformation of the industry.

Why are you so “knowledgeable”?

First of all, as a world-renowned manufacturer with 30 years of experience in the ICT field, Huawei itself has a strong desire for digital transformation.

Adhering to the principle of "jumping from a parachute designed by yourself", Huawei's business transformation and ICT upgrades have always been driven by its own needs and verified by in-depth practice, that is, it has continued to actively explore and practice digitalization in business areas such as R&D, sales, supply, and delivery. For example, Huawei broke the past "chimney-style" laboratory environment and moved R&D operations to the cloud, which greatly shortened the time from product R&D to production introduction and achieved global R&D collaboration; for another example, Huawei built a global manufacturing operation and command center to obtain key data and support real-time decision-making; in addition, Huawei also took the lead in building the Huawei Smart Platform that integrates IoT, video cloud, big data, ICP, GIS and other capabilities, and took the lead in building a leading smart park.

In other words, Huawei has experienced all the confusion and innovation bottlenecks that most industry users have experienced in the process of digital transformation. Because of this, we are more "expert". After years of development, Huawei's Chinese government business now has a deep understanding of industry trends and customer needs, understands technological innovation and scenario applications, and has acquired the necessary professional capabilities in the industry market. It hopes to integrate this into the "black soil" of innovation and work with ecological partners to help customers in various industries accelerate their transformation.

More importantly, Huawei has identified the future direction of digital transformation through continuous exploration and has verified its correctness through its own practice. For industry users who have entered the "immersion period" of digital transformation, Huawei's Chinese government business brings users not only a single technology product, but also integrates innovative technologies such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, AI and blockchain with traditional industry knowledge, reconstructs traditional ICT systems, and enables business innovation to break through limitations on a powerful technology platform and create unlimited possibilities.

Empowering the industry

In the eyes of Huawei's China Government and Enterprise Business, the "immersion period" of digital transformation means that industry users need to optimize from a single point to multiple points of collaboration, penetrate from the basic layer to the core business, embed digitalization into the core business processes of the enterprise, reconstruct the key business value chain of people, goods, and venues, and establish intelligent operations and innovation for the enterprise. In this process, Huawei's China Government and Enterprise Business, which "knows the business", has a lot of room for empowerment.

At the Beijing Geriatric Hospital, Huawei opened and launched the "Huawei Cloud WeLink + Video Cart + AR Router" remote visiting system within three days, enabling the elderly, family members, and doctors to be online at the same time. While blocking cross-infection of the virus, it can also connect emotions through the cloud.

At Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport, Huawei launched scenario-based solutions such as "One Map for Airport Operations", "One Network for Airport Security", and "One Face for Airport Travel". Huawei's AI platform collects, analyzes, and measures massive amounts of data, increasing the acceptance rate of automatic parking space allocation at the airport by 95%, increasing the docking rate by 5%, reducing passenger queue time by 20%, and increasing boarding efficiency by 40% with face recognition, greatly improving the passenger travel experience.

At Xiamen Yuanhai Terminal, Huawei provided a 5G end-to-end slicing solution and built China's first 5G container terminal. 5G fully covers the production points in the port area, providing support for all business scenarios such as remote control of port machinery, unmanned container trucks, and intelligent tallying. Yuanhai Terminal saves more than 10 million yuan in labor costs each year compared to traditional container terminals, and the unmanned container truck transformation project alone can save 70% of investment.

After experiencing the baptism of the epidemic, "new infrastructure" is strongly opening a new chapter in the development of China's digital economy. In this process, "new connection" and "new computing" will become important supports for "new infrastructure", 5G To B will be an important tool to drive industry innovation, and "knowledge" will become the key to speeding up the digital transformation of the industry and presenting value. We have reason to believe that as a professional and leading "knowledgeable" partner, Huawei China Government Business will bring more business value to customers in various industries and become a new engine for accelerating the development of my country's digital economy.
