Entering the era of collaboration 3.0

Peng Xiaodong told reporters that Huawei's understanding of enterprise communications is actually constantly changing.

In the early 1990s, collaboration systems were the center of enterprise cost savings. Therefore, as a mainstream equipment supplier in the industry, Huawei is committed to providing hardware devices covering different scenarios, from entry-level voice communication phones to high-end three-screen telepresence and MAX telepresence. With these devices, customers can build a high-performance, low-failure basic communication system.

Later, with the deepening of enterprise communication applications, communication became ubiquitous anytime and anywhere, and the convenience of collaboration became increasingly important. At the same time, the combination of collaboration systems and business applications formed detailed industry solutions, transforming from a cost-saving center to a value-creating center. Therefore, Huawei proposed the concept of fully integrated and industry-oriented collaboration 2.0: on the one hand, it took the lead in the industry to realize the full business integration of audio and video communications to meet customers' needs for one-stop communication and collaboration; on the other hand, together with ISV partners, it jointly created many industry solutions, such as visual party building, targeted poverty alleviation, emergency command, tiered diagnosis and treatment, and distance education.

Today, with the deepening of enterprise digital transformation and the mature application of cloud and AI technologies, Huawei has taken the lead in entering the era of collaboration 3.0. "Flexible and simple cloud architecture, natural and easy-to-use human-computer interaction, and accurate and efficient intelligent recognition, these technologies can liberate employees from tedious and non-value-added actions, allowing them to devote themselves to innovation and create value for the enterprise." Peng Xiaodong concluded.

High recognition from major customers

The reporter learned that with the business development in recent years, Huawei Video has become the preferred brand for customers from all walks of life in China. Whether it is large and medium-sized industry customers such as government, public security, finance, education, medical care, electricity, manufacturing, or small and medium-sized enterprises, Huawei CloudLink can help them further improve the efficiency and experience of communication and collaboration, increase productivity, and create value.

According to a report compiled by IDC, a third-party authoritative organization, Huawei Video has ranked first in the domestic market share for five consecutive years and has become a leading brand in various industries. More than 70% of national ministries and large state-owned enterprises have chosen Huawei as their video system equipment supplier, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Development and Reform Commission, the State Grid, Sinopec, and the China Construction Bank.

In Peng Xiaodong's opinion, there are three main reasons why so many large customers choose Huawei and recognize Huawei's enterprise communication products:

First, Huawei has maintained high investment in research and development over a long period of time to ensure system stability, ease of use, good user experience, and continued technological leadership.

Secondly, Huawei has strong R&D and after-sales service capabilities, and its customers’ networks can be sustainably developed;

***This is because Huawei has a rich product range and can provide one-stop ICT solutions such as enterprise communications, networks, IT, wireless, and energy, which is the foundation for partners to grow.

The conference room is the war room

Peng Xiaodong told reporters that at Huawei, everyone defines the conference room as the operational command center of enterprises and organizations, because in the context of digital transformation of enterprises, efficient communication and collaboration play a pivotal role in the production process of enterprises and create real value. More than 90% of Huawei's key decisions and core ideas are generated in the conference room. "We hope to redefine the conference space through the CloudLink series of products, making communication between enterprises, organizations, and teams more flexible and efficient, and truly making the conference room a carrier for connecting time, space, teams, and ideas."

He introduced that the new generation of CloudLink products released by Huawei, in addition to inheriting the technical advantages of the previous generation of products, has also changed the traditional meeting mode and experience in four major aspects.

***, through intelligent AI technologies such as human-computer voice interaction technology, face recognition, real-time subtitles, automatic image tracking, etc., it effectively frees your hands and changes the traditional conference control method;

Second, through 4K ultra-clear, H.265 and other technologies, it brings users the best audio and video communication experience;

Third, the collaborative application equipped with a multi-functional electronic whiteboard enables convenient multi-party interactive collaboration.

Fourth, it is simple but not simplistic, using a modular, graphical interface to achieve an intuitive control experience.

He said that Huawei's future strategic layout will focus on the three aspects of enterprise communications: "cloud services, AI intelligence, and industry applications," and seek new opportunities and growth points based on the existing scale. In the era of enterprise digital transformation, enterprise communications have long since transformed from a cost-saving center to a value-creating center, and there is a lot of room for imagination in the future. Huawei will continue to work in this field, continuously improve the competitiveness of its products and solutions, and at the same time create a good ecological environment to lead the industry forward.
