Huawei Cloud Solution Selection Competition and Cloud Migration Competition are in hot selection, looking for excellent solutions and talents

[51CTO.com original article] At the beginning of the article, let's first raise a question: How to find the best talents and the best works in the shortest time? In fact, from ancient times to the present, the most direct and efficient way is the same for thousands of years - competition, through which "experts" stand out. Today, Huawei Cloud is eager to find the best cloud talents and the best cloud practice solutions. How to do it? Competition is naturally the first choice. Recently, Huawei Cloud Solution Selection Competition and Cloud Migration Competition are in full swing!

Huawei’s goal is to not miss a good solution!

As the wonderful events of the 2017 "ΣCO-Discovery" Huawei Ecosystem Partner Elite Competition, the two events have different focuses. The Cloud Solution Selection Competition aims to provide a platform for partners who are interested in cooperating with Huawei Cloud to fully demonstrate the commercial value, technological leadership and innovation of cloud solutions. The Cloud Migration Competition focuses on the cloud service capabilities of real scenarios, starting from actual combat scenarios, focusing on how to smoothly migrate users' businesses to Huawei's public cloud. The final results of the two events will be announced at the Huawei Ecosystem Partner Elite Competition 2017 Awards Ceremony on October 28.

In order to attract more people to participate and select outstanding cloud solutions, Huawei has put a lot of thought into the competition reward measures. Taking the cloud solution selection competition as an example, the first prize winner can not only enjoy the rights and interests of Huawei's leading cloud solution partners, but also receive Huawei's prizes worth 50,000 yuan, including market expansion funds, exclusive resources for incubating public cloud solutions, performance incentives and market expansion incentives, sales lead push and other very affordable rewards, and the benefits of on-site support from Huawei public cloud architects. This is obviously very tempting for partners who want to make a difference in the cloud market.

It is reported that the scope of topics for this competition is very broad. Contestants can submit vertical industry application cloud solutions such as pan-finance (including insurance/securities), e-commerce cloud, manufacturing cloud, education and medical care, as well as horizontal general application solutions such as collaborative office, customer service, e-commerce, human resources, business intelligence, website building systems, sales management, financial management, storage and backup.

In terms of the solution evaluation criteria, Huawei also considered many aspects and strived for fairness. The judging panel was composed of Huawei Cloud business expert team, cloud sales team, customer representatives and third-party professionals. The judging was based on multiple dimensions, including the solution's industry status, relevance to Huawei Cloud products or solutions, competitiveness, business plan, and innovation. Such a strong camp and efforts are all for the purpose of achieving one goal - "not missing a single good solution."

Working with partners to build one of the world's top five clouds

In fact, it can be seen from the incentives that Huawei provides comprehensive support to the winners from the three perspectives of technology, marketing, and sales. Why is it willing to spend so much money to find outstanding talents and solutions in the cloud industry? This starts with the business development strategy of Huawei Cloud.

In March this year, Huawei established the Cloud BU and announced that it would invest heavily in building an open public cloud platform based on public cloud services. It would also focus on key industries and work with partners to build a cloud ecosystem to jointly expand the industry pie. Unlike AWS and Microsoft Azure, Huawei Cloud does not directly promote cloud services to the public. Huawei positions itself as an enabler of the intelligent society and will aggregate basic capabilities such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things to provide innovative intelligent cloud services to governments, enterprises, partners, and developers. Huawei's senior management has made it clear on many occasions that Huawei adheres to the principle of "not touching data from above and not touching applications from below". Through cooperation with partners, Huawei's cloud capabilities will be exported to customers to help partners and customers conduct business, ultimately forming a healthy cloud ecosystem.

From this point of view, it also explains the original intention of Huawei to hold the "Cloud Solution Selection Competition" and "Cloud Migration Competition", which is to select excellent partners, and with the strong impetus of Huawei, let excellent solutions be applied to more and more customer systems. This is also in line with the essence of the 2017 Huawei All Connect Conference that just ended in September - take action.

As Huawei's rotating CEO Guo Ping said at the conference, Huawei's goal is to make Huawei Cloud one of the world's top five clouds. Huawei will make long-term strategic investments in public clouds, build a future cloud alliance, and help users do business with its genes of technology, security, service, and sharing. With Guo Ping's "reassurance", partners interested in public clouds can boldly join hands with Huawei. The Cloud Solution Selection Competition and Cloud Migration Competition are the best stages to showcase their strengths.

How can I find brave warriors to guard the four directions?

"The wind rises and the clouds fly, my power spreads across the country and I return to my hometown. How can I find brave warriors to guard the four directions?" This is the most widely circulated line in Liu Bang's "The Great Wind Song". As a great overlord, Liu Bang was still puzzled by the difficulty in finding "brave warriors", and it was even more difficult to find cloud talents for emerging applications. In fact, in addition to helping excellent cloud solutions "shine", another major role of Huawei Cloud Solution Selection Competition and Cloud Migration Competition is to find talents.

At the Huawei Connect 2017, Feng Baoshuai, Director of Huawei Enterprise Business Training and Certification Department, said that as new technologies and applications such as cloud, big data, and the Internet of Things continue to mature, the more important task is to continuously apply these technologies, architectures, and solutions to key businesses and even core businesses, which places higher demands on the comprehensive capabilities of cloud talents. Indeed, whether it is to reasonably build the cloud, to safely and reliably migrate the business to the cloud, or to provide efficient operating cloud platforms and cloud services, all of this is inseparable from the core competitiveness - talent.

It is understood that Huawei Cloud has launched Huawei Cloud Certification to address the talent issue. Through Huawei Cloud Certification, cloud technology is popularized, and professionals in different roles such as cloud builders, architects, developers, and operators are trained to meet the cloud professional talent demands of large and medium-sized enterprises, continuously contribute high-quality talents to the ICT industry, and promote the vigorous development of enterprises under the digital economy. It is believed that through the Huawei Cloud Solution Selection Competition and Cloud Migration Competition, Huawei will discover very outstanding talents among its partners. After training them, it will undoubtedly be more effective in the implementation and practice of cloud, thereby catalyzing the continuous development of the cloud ecosystem.

Now, Huawei Cloud's three core advantages of "trust, openness, and global service capabilities" are widely known, and its long-term development strategy for public cloud is also clear. We feel more of Huawei Cloud's sincere attitude of "seeking cooperation in an unconventional way". The two major events held this time reflect Huawei's strategy of advocating "full cloudification" and its determination to build an ecosystem with partners with an open mind and enable the digital transformation of the industry. Let's wait and see who will win the grand prize in October!
