What is the "Ecological Era"? In the tide of digital transformation, cutting-edge IT technologies such as "cloud, big data, Internet of Things, mobile, and intelligence" have brought opportunities and challenges to enterprise development. "Technology + demand" is driving the accelerated integration of the ICT ecosystem, requiring more diversified roles and complex capabilities. The ICT ecosystem is beginning to move towards a new era, which Huawei calls the ICT "Ecological Era".

At the beginning of September, the "Huawei China ICT Ecosystem Tour 2018" came to a successful conclusion. So what kind of help and support did it provide to Huawei customers? What gains and insights did the participating customers and partners gain? Let's follow the author to learn more.

In anticipation of the future, customers hope to work with Huawei to enter a new era of ICT ecology

Looking back at the more than 200-stop “ICT Ecosystem Tour”, this series of activities has received wide recognition and participation from customers across the country.

For example, at the Weifang event, Zhang Baoqing, director of the Weifang Smart Weifang Construction Office, expressed his views on the event. He pointed out: "Through the event, Huawei and its partners discussed ICT solutions and new business models for the 'Ecological Era'. This is not only a further deepening of the cooperation between Huawei and its ecosystem partners, but also a further sublimation of the strategic cooperation between Weifang City and Huawei IoT Weifang. It will promote win-win cooperation among Huawei's ecosystem partners, build a good IoT Weifang ecosystem, and promote the innovative development of Smart Weifang and the transformation and upgrading of the industry. "

He also said that the IoT Weifang is the first city-level narrowband IoT comprehensive application project in China jointly built by the Weifang Municipal Government and Huawei. According to the overall plan of "one network, one platform, and N applications", with the joint efforts of Huawei and Huawei Weifang IoT Industry Alliance partners, the construction of IoT Weifang is progressing steadily. At present, more than 4,000 NB-IOT base stations have been built, basically achieving full coverage of narrowband IoT in Weifang, and building the first city-level IoT public service platform in China.

At the Wuhan event, Huawei customer representative Wan Yougang, deputy director of Jointown's operations and IT management headquarters, shared the practical application of artificial intelligence in Jointown's smart logistics. He gave an example: "By optimizing the picking path through AI, the number of steps taken by warehouse pickers per day was reduced from 30,000 to 20,000; by processing purchase orders and user orders through Huawei Cloud's optical character recognition technology, more than 70% of manual work was saved; by optimizing loading and routing through AI, experimental data can increase delivery efficiency by 5 times; more enterprise intelligent applications such as sales forecasting and drug image recognition will be deployed online in the near future."

At the Shanghai event, another Huawei customer representative, SAIC Volkswagen HPC Technology Director Zhang Wei, said in his speech: On the one hand, the reason for choosing to cooperate with Huawei is that Huawei's server shipments are in a leading position in the world, and Huawei's storage and software technologies are also in a leading position in the industry; on the other hand, Huawei has very close cooperation with mainstream CAE manufacturers. Huawei has a lot of experience in various CAE software tuning and can help SAIC Volkswagen do a lot of tuning work.

Partners expect the ICT ecosystem to become more prosperous and work with Huawei to build an ecological platform

Huawei's "ICT Ecosystem Tour" not only provides a favorable opportunity for core partners to showcase their own strengths and joint innovation solutions, but also provides a platform for upstream and downstream partners to communicate with each other. During the event, the joint solutions of partners and Huawei, as well as the innovative achievements and application displays in multiple industries, triggered heated discussions and welcomes from participating partners.

Speaking of Huawei's partners, Synnex International cannot be ignored. In this tour, as one of Huawei's most important partners, Synnex International worked with Huawei to travel through 138 coastal cities, showing the practical application, best practices and future vision of Huawei's cloud computing, big data, AI, converged communications, and Synnex International cloud service platform and other new technologies and solutions in various fields to ecological partners across the country. Synnex International's greatest feeling is that through the event, it can understand what customers and partners really care about, what they really need, and how to provide users with a series of service solutions that meet industry trends and provide more complete ICT services.

At the sub-forum of the Wuhan event, Hubei Huazhong Electric Power Technology Development Co., Ltd. specially released a smart electricity sales cloud platform based on Huawei Cloud. This platform is suitable for various power sales companies and can provide all-round information support for market-oriented power sales business, meeting customer service, operation management, decision support, operation analysis, value-added services and other business needs.

At the same time, representatives of Jointown Pharmaceutical Group also introduced the cloud pharmacy developed based on Huawei Cloud. This product is aimed at chain/independent pharmacies and community clinics, connecting online hospitals and hospital prescriptions, and providing customers with one-stop purchase, sales, inventory management, personnel training, big data analysis and other services.

Promote industry ICT innovation and create exponential prosperity of the ecosystem

It is worth mentioning that at the events in various places this year, Huawei brought new products such as the new generation of intelligent flash storage, software-defined smart cameras, and new network and data center energy products and solutions. In addition, the exhibition hall designed around the three themes of "eco-incubation, eco-engine, and eco-application" has turned cutting-edge technologies and leading ICT basic platforms into concrete eco-engines, promoting partners to jointly incubate based on Huawei OpenLab, and then create innovative applications that can meet the needs of digital transformation in various industries, allowing every guest to feel the charm of Huawei's ICT ecosystem and the value potential of joint action.

Through the "ICT Ecosystem Tour 2018" series of activities, Huawei's open and leading ecosystem enabling platform and the innovative "Ecological Era" concept have been quickly conveyed to ecosystem partners across the country; more than 5,000 ecosystem partners have demonstrated their value to more ecosystem partners through participation in keynote speeches, industry sub-forums, exhibition hall displays and other activities, which has further stimulated the potential of a diversified ecosystem. In the mutual exchanges and discussions, they have sparked the wisdom of digital transformation and promoted the continuous growth of ecological value.

Born from gathering and flourishing from traveling, "Huawei China ICT Ecosystem Tour 2018" is a rare technology feast and a platform for exchanges and discussions among all walks of life. Since its launch in 2012, this series of activities has been held for 7 consecutive years, covering more than 500 cities (including prefecture-level cities, districts and counties) across the country, holding more than 1,500 events, and nearly 300,000 ecological partners have participated in the series. In short, the "Huawei China ICT Ecosystem Tour/Exhibition" series of activities has received active participation and strong welcome from ecological partners in various regions across the country, which is undoubtedly a great success.
