Before the finals, the editor interviewed many finalists, including senior experts in the industry, Huawei customers who were attracted by the event publicity and actively signed up, and dealer technical experts who have been in the industry for many years. As candidates for the finals, what are they thinking? How did they get involved in the Huawei Elite Competition? What are their biggest gains after participating in the competition? What is the mythical existence of the Elite Competition in their eyes? Follow the editor to listen to what they say!

Talk about your connection with the Elite Tournament

Xu Yijie from Beijing Digital China Co., Ltd. is a well-known expert in the field of data communications. This is his fourth time participating in the Huawei Elite Competition. He has now entered the finals of the Partner Individual Pre-sale Competition. His previous ranking was second. In his opinion, due to his busy work, he does not have time to study the details of many solutions in depth. However, participating in the competition requires preparing a lot of materials before the competition and thoroughly considering the application cases. For him, this is a good opportunity to "review" his past work in depth.

Zang Wei from Shanxi Naiwei Network Communication Engineering Co., Ltd. also participated in the Huawei Elite Competition for the third time. He participated in 2015 and 2016 and also entered the finals. The biggest reason that attracted him to sign up was the platform of the Huawei Elite Competition. Due to his busy work, he usually had difficulty in contacting such a large circle of elites. The communication with the participating elites helped him a lot and improved him a lot.

Talk about the works that entered the finals

Gu Yi from Sichuan Branch of China Telecom Co., Ltd. participated in the Huawei Elite Competition for the first time. His entry was a cloud solution for smart cities. Sichuan Telecom used Huawei cloud technology and cloud architecture to build a platform to solve the local government's problem of targeted poverty alleviation. He said that in the construction of smart cities, the combination of party building, poverty alleviation, and informatization eliminated the blind spots of interaction between cadres and the masses and solved the current problem of the last kilometer of poverty alleviation.

According to Gu Yi, in the past, the poverty alleviation work was unable to achieve targeted poverty alleviation when cadres went to the countryside because the collected data was only stored in the system and could not be mastered by the management personnel in real time. However, through the information management platform supported by Huawei, all poverty alleviation standards are matched with each poor household, and the data is built on the Huawei cloud platform. Both the poverty alleviation cadres and the poor households can use the mobile phone APP to query the progress of poverty alleviation work. In particular, poverty alleviation cadres can view the information of poverty alleviation targets on their mobile phones, such as family member information, which poverty alleviation indicators have not yet reached the standard, such as family hardware equipment, children's education problems, etc. In addition, using the function of "one map to lead the overall situation" in the smart city solution, the paper map is turned into an electronic map, and the poverty alleviation staff can directly query the poverty alleviation situation in the local rural areas through computers and mobile phones, such as how many households have been lifted out of poverty, and where the people who have not been lifted out of poverty are distributed. Even through the video dialogue on the TV, the party committee has become a heart-to-heart network, and the poor households and the assistance cadres can realize real-time video. In the past, a staff member visited at most two households a day, but now the poverty alleviation problem can be solved efficiently and quickly through video.

Gu Yi believes that the smart city cloud management solution participating in this competition has solved the rigid demand of poverty alleviation work, accurately connected with the needs of the masses, enhanced the endogenous motivation for poverty alleviation, and also provided a reference for poverty alleviation work in more cities. He fully felt the power and value of Huawei's technical solutions, and in the future he hopes to integrate Huawei's outstanding ICT technology to serve more customers.

There are many players like Gu Yi in the elite competition. By sharing their own industry application cases, they not only improve themselves, but also help more people avoid detours in the cloud era and practice more efficient cloud applications. I believe this is also one of the original intentions of the Huawei Elite Competition.

Tell us about your feelings about the Elite Tournament

Xu Yijie's most direct feeling about this year's elite competition is that the difficulty is much higher than in previous years. He pointed out that in previous years, the data communication field was mostly screened according to product lines, but this year, all products were integrated and displayed on the same stage, requiring contestants to have a more comprehensive understanding of the products. In addition, he also believes that this kind of competition system, such as auditions, preliminary rounds, and semi-finals, is very good, which can screen out real talents and benefit from it.

Zang Wei from Shanxi Naiwei Network Communication Engineering Co., Ltd. has a similar feeling. In an interview, he admitted that the exams in the past two years were mainly based on product technology, while this year's competition focuses on being very "down-to-earth". In addition to a more in-depth examination of product mastery, the examiners pay more attention to the implementation of the project. For example, how to deliver the project? How to solve problems encountered during the delivery process, such as inconsistencies between the solution and customer needs? The contestants have face-to-face defense with the examiners remotely, which increases the difficulty a lot.

Zang Wei also told reporters that due to the growing influence of Huawei, the number of contestants registered this year has increased significantly, and the competition has become more intense. "That is why I cherish this opportunity to communicate with elite peers every year. The ranking of the competition is not the most important thing to me, what is important is to improve myself."

According to Yang Deguang, product manager of Shenzhen Jinhuawei Digital Technology Co., Ltd., this year's elite competition highlights the concept of "ecology". As a Fortune 500 company, Huawei has a prestigious position as a leader in the ICT industry. This Ecological Partner Elite Competition has brought together ICT elites from various industries across the country to jointly build an ICT ecological chain. As one of the links in the ecological chain, they must also keep up with Huawei's pace and work hard to learn knowledge and contribute more to the robustness of the "ecological chain".

Talk about your gains on the field

Although it was his first time participating in the competition, Gu Yi believed that he had improved his skills through the competition. For him personally, whether it was learning from elite players or sorting out and deepening his own knowledge, it was a good way to enhance his self-worth. "I will participate in the Huawei Elite Competition every year in the future," Gu Yi said affirmatively.

Yang Deguang revealed that his biggest gain was that he could communicate and compete with other industry leaders through the Huawei Ecosystem Partner Elite Competition. Last year's competition highlighted the word "craftsmanship" while this year's competition highlighted the concept of "ecology". He believes that Huawei also hopes to provide such a platform for everyone to communicate and learn from each other to promote the better development of ICT. Last year, he won the second prize in the country in the "Craftsmanship Cup" competition, and he hopes that he can have a better performance this year.

Let's talk about Huawei

Gu Yi believes that Huawei is the industry's leading ICT equipment manufacturer. Through its Partner University, Huawei has horizontally built a platform for win-win collaboration with its partners and customers. Such courage and vision are rare.

Xu Yijie from Beijing Digital China Co., Ltd. also highly recognized Huawei's contribution to the ICT field. He commented on everything Huawei has done for the ICT ecosystem from three aspects.

First, at the market level, Huawei has continuously increased people's attention to ICT talents through partner universities and various certifications. Xu Yijie has seen advertisements for Huawei's ICT talents at job fairs, partner organizations, and forums of all sizes, and truly feels that people are paying more and more attention to talent training.

Secondly, at the cooperation level, he believes that Huawei has selflessly done a lot of work, such as cooperation with universities, school-enterprise cooperation, Huawei Online Academy, college student programming competitions and other activities, continuously reserving ICT reserve forces. In order to keep up with the development of the new era, Huawei started from the student stage.

*** is that Huawei is constantly expanding its influence in ICT and leading the healthier development of ICT. Xu Yijie told reporters that at first Huawei only proposed the ICT slogan and its capabilities were mostly concentrated in the hardware field, but now it is very different. Huawei's ICT concept is becoming more and more in-depth, constantly integrating with industry needs, and covering a wider range.

Xu Yiji also added that agents and distributors highly recognize Huawei's Partner University. Through the remote form of online education and training, distributors have more channels to obtain learning materials. In addition, Huawei has adopted multiple reward activities such as the points system online, which has gradually attracted people who did not know much about Huawei in the past to the ICT circle and become more familiar with Huawei.

The author thinks that Yang Deguang's words are the most representative to end the interview. Yang Deguang is a veteran in the ICT industry with nearly 10 years of work experience. He truly feels that the real needs of customers are the driving force behind technological progress. For example, with the popularization of video and voice, it has brought about a change in the way of work communication, which also means the progress of information and communication technology. In this field, he believes that Huawei, as a leading solution provider in the ICT industry, has a good performance in the market and future development prospects. He sees that Huawei has shown a thriving trend in the construction of a talent ecosystem. With the in-depth development of the cooperation model of partner universities and school-enterprise cooperation, he believes that more talents can be cultivated for the country. He repeatedly emphasized that he is a loyal fan of Huawei certification and hopes to grow with Huawei.
