The digital transformation of enterprises is in full swing in the industry.
For successful transformation, finding the right direction and method for transformation is the key. At the same time, there must be several partners with strong technical and ecological capabilities.
On December 18, at the 2020 T-EDGE Global Innovation Conference co-sponsored by Titanium Media and the National New Media Industry Base, Wang Wenjing, Chairman of UFIDA Network, also shared his experience on this topic.
Wang Wenjing believes that at present, the application of information technology by enterprises has entered the digital intelligence stage from the informationization stage, and from the ERP stage to the BIP (Business Innovation Platform) stage. Digital intelligence refers to the combination of digitization and intelligence, while BIP is a comprehensive service platform that uses a new generation of digitization and intelligence technology to realize enterprise product and business innovation, organization and management changes.
The evolution before and after represents the progress and development of the enterprise's application of information technology. The most important thing is that the value brought to the enterprise by the two is completely different. For example, the value that the informatization stage brings to enterprises is process optimization, which helps enterprises improve efficiency. However, in the stage of digital intelligence, it is more important to do business innovation, which is actually to reconstruct the development capacity of the enterprise.
The essence of hot words such as Industrial Internet, Industrial Digital Intelligence, and Digital Industrialization is actually a new round of business innovation driven by contemporary information technology. Wang Wenjing emphasized that in this round of innovation, the three-in-one innovation model with business as the core, IT and finance has become the basic paradigm of business innovation .
Under such a basic paradigm, how to efficiently promote the digital intelligence of enterprises?
Wang Wenjing believes that in order to promote the digital intelligence of an enterprise, it must first be guided by corporate strategy, business as the core, data as the foundation, intelligence to generate value, scenarios as the starting point, connection as the premise, and Operation is guaranteed. In terms of technology, Wang Wenjing suggested that companies should know how to borrow the capabilities of third-party platforms.
"Digital intelligence involves many technologies, and it is not necessary for every enterprise to master these technologies, as long as they can choose the appropriate technology platform and apply the technical capabilities provided by these platforms." Wang Wenjing said.
He said that the promotion of business innovation by information technology has become a common demand of all enterprises, but not all enterprises have the technical capabilities and resources for contemporary information technology. So from the enterprise side, he hopes that there will be some platforms that help enterprises to carry out business innovation conveniently, and make business innovation simple, convenient, popular and social.
Returning to the UFIDA business innovation platform itself, in August this year, UFIDA released the YonBIP UFIDA business innovation platform. The platform adopts a new technology architecture of cloud native, microservices, centralization, and separation of data and use. The four platforms of intelligent middle station and business middle station are the bases, covering the eight major areas of enterprise digital intelligence including marketing, finance, finance, collaboration, supply chain, procurement, manpower, and manufacturing.
At present, platformization and ecologicalization have become widely adopted models for industrial development, and UFIDA's business innovation platform has also borrowed this concept. For example, Titanium Media learned that the UFIDA business innovation platform has two basic positioning:
One is the application-level infrastructure for digital business, serving the digital intelligence of many enterprises;
The second positioning is the co-creation platform for the enterprise service industry, which hopes to provide enterprises with platform and ecological capabilities.
"Our goal is to gather more than 100,000 ecological partners and hundreds of millions of communities and individuals on this platform. There are currently more than 7,500, and everyone will work together to serve the digital intelligence of more than tens of millions of enterprises. Construction." Wang Wenjing said.
The following is the record of Wang Wenjing's speech:
Good morning, everyone. It is a great honor to participate in this year’s T-EDGE Innovation Conference. The topics discussed by everyone are all about innovation. My field is to serve business innovation. Today I would like to take this opportunity to exchange contemporary information with you. A new round of business innovation driven by technology.
I would like to ask all the guests present here, what are the most concerned topics of all walks of life today? I believe that many corporate leaders and supervisors will think of one thing, which is business innovation, including corporate product and business innovation, organizational and management changes.
Why business innovation has become the most concerned issue for everyone is actually related to the development of business nature. In essence, I believe that business is a business that continues to create human well-being with the most efficient mechanism. The reason why business is adopted is that this method is the most efficient. For a better life and a more civilized society, people are constantly promoting business innovation to reform and improve business efficiency.
From ancient times to modern times and then to modern times, we have seen that the frequency, intensity, and effectiveness of business innovation are constantly increasing, which brings about business prosperity, social progress, and human happiness. It can be said that the history of human business development is one Department of Business Innovation History.
Six factors affecting business innovation
There are many factors that affect business innovation, and there are many forces that promote business innovation. We believe that six factors are the most important forces driving business innovation. They are: ideology, education, system, method, technology and finance.
Among them, technology and finance are two increasingly important factors. Especially since modern times, we have seen the influence of technology on innovation become greater and greater. If there is a contemporary technology that has the most impact and changes in all industries and all business scenarios, everyone will definitely think of information technology.
Since the development of information technology in the last century, it has been iterating and developing rapidly from generation to generation. The contemporary representative information technologies that everyone is familiar with today, such as mobile Internet, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, and blockchain, their clustered and interactive development have jointly driven a new round of business innovation. This round of business innovation is the digital intelligence of enterprises, including digitalization and intelligence.
There are many new hot words today, including industrial Internet, industrial digital intelligence, and digital industrialization. In fact, the essence is a new round of business innovation driven by contemporary information technology. Many companies are already promoting such an innovation, such as digital marketing, smart procurement, smart manufacturing, data finance, agile R&D, smart finance, and collaborative office.
Such digital intelligence of enterprises based on contemporary information technology, that is, the entire new business innovation, is evolving and developing rapidly at the enterprise level, the industrial level, and the overall business world, involving the company’s product and business innovation, Organizational and management changes of enterprises. We see that in this round of innovation, the business-centric, IT and financial trinity innovation model has become a basic paradigm.
The application of contemporary information technology to promote business innovation has become a common demand for all enterprises today. However, not all enterprises have such technical capabilities and resources for contemporary information technology, and not all enterprises are interested in applying such new technologies and Realizing its product and business innovation, organization and management changes all have deep professional capabilities and teams. Leading companies certainly have this capability, but more companies do not have this resource and capability.
Therefore, from the enterprise side, calling for a platform that can help enterprises to carry out business innovation conveniently is to make business innovation simple, convenient, popular, and social.
Three information technology applications phase
From the perspective of the application of information technology in enterprises, three historical stages have been passed. The earliest stage was the computerization stage. At that time, there were two most popular application fields: office automation and computerized financial accounting. Of course, the application at that time basically remained at the post and department level.
By the 1990s, the application of information technology in enterprises has entered a new stage. This stage is the stage of informationization. The representative application systems are the ERP system and the enterprise resource planning system. Through such systems, the people, Finance, material, production, supply, and sales are realized through informatization.
As a result, the application of information technology in enterprises has entered the enterprise level. Today, the application of information technology in enterprises has entered the third historical stage, which is the stage of digital intelligence. The representative application system at this stage is the business innovation platform. We call it BIP, and the application level has also moved from the enterprise level to the social level.
From informatization to digital intelligence, from ERP to BIP, there has been great progress and development, and the most important thing is the value it brings to the enterprise. In the informatization stage, the value brought to the enterprise is process optimization, which helps the enterprise improve efficiency. Of course, this is also very meaningful. When it comes to the stage of digital intelligence, it is more important to do business innovation, which is actually to reconstruct the development capacity of the enterprise.
Our informatization colleagues often say that the value of informatization to an enterprise is mainly business support, and it has become the business itself at the stage of digital intelligence. In terms of the scope of the role, the informatization stage mainly focuses on the internal enterprises, and the more important thing is between the enterprises in the digital intelligence stage.
Why did the industrial Internet come up at this time, including the collaboration of value networks, has become a reality today. It is against this background that UFIDA has been focusing on the application of information technology in the industry since its establishment in 1988.
In recent years, we have applied a new generation of information technology, combined with the accumulation of the previous 30 years in the enterprise application field, in August this year released a new generation of UFIDA business innovation platform. This commercial innovation platform is completely based on a brand new architecture, such as cloud native, original data-driven, and middle-level. We have four platform bases, including technology platform, data center, smart center, and business center; currently covering eight major areas of enterprise digital intelligence, from marketing, procurement, manufacturing, supply chain to finance, finance, human resources, Collaborative work.
UFIDA’s business innovation platform has two basic positionings. One is to do application-level infrastructure for digital business to serve the digital intelligence of many enterprises and make business innovation simple and convenient. We know that cloud computing companies have provided IaaS to the industry today, but on top of IaaS, a service platform that can more solve enterprise business, business and management problems is needed. Therefore, such an infrastructure is needed. UFIDA’s business innovation platform is positioned in this Level.
The second positioning is the co-creation platform of the enterprise service industry . Today, almost all industries are moving towards a brand new model of platformization and ecologicalization. The same is true for the enterprise service industry, which requires the symbiosis, co-creation and sharing of the industry, and the positioning of UFIDA's business innovation platform is such a platform for the enterprise service industry.
Our goal is to gather and cooperate with more than 100,000 ecological partners on this platform, and to gather hundreds of millions of communities and individuals. There are currently more than 7,500, and we will serve more than tens of millions of companies. Construction.
Low-code development has been very hot since last year, and there is also a low-code development platform in our platform. Our low-code development platform is not just a technical-level low-code development, but a fast and convenient development platform for commercial applications. In addition to the need for technical platform support, it is more important for enterprise technology architecture to need some application-level and data-level public technologies. Therefore, we have combined business, application, data, and technology to launch a low-code development platform.
In this way, every enterprise can carry out business innovation conveniently and quickly.
How to promote enterprise digital intelligence ?
Today, almost all companies are promoting a new round of business innovation represented by digital intelligence. Of course, some companies go faster, some go slower, and some companies may still be in the process of understanding.
How to promote the digital intelligence of an enterprise? Based on the practice of serving many companies, we have summarized these few points that may be more important.
We met many companies. He also realized that digital intelligence is very important to him, and business innovation is very important, but he doesn't know how to proceed. We believe that in order to promote the digital intelligence of an enterprise, we must first take the company's strategy as a guide. Digital intelligence still serves the development of corporate strategy, so strategy is to lead.
On the basis of leadership, business is the core, but technology is not. In addition, data is the foundation, which is also a big difference between the new round of digital intelligence and the previous round of informatization. Intelligence generates value, which means that we finally generate value in intelligence.
How to proceed, many companies are also very confused, how to promote this company's digital intelligence? We think that the scene is the starting point. Starting from some representative scenes, starting from the pain point and problem scenes, we will do it one by one. Connection is the prerequisite, because today's round of digital intelligence is built on the basis of networking, so it must be connected. Operation is a guarantee. It is no longer a batch processing system after the fact. It needs continuous operation, so operation is a guarantee.
Finally, the technology is the platform. Digital intelligence involves many technologies, and it is not necessary for each of our companies to master these technologies. Choose the appropriate technology platform and apply these platforms to provide technical capabilities.
I also sincerely hope that all our companies, including everyone in the industry, can seize the new round of business innovation opportunities brought about by the digital age, and promote and develop the company you lead in such an era and develop into a digital intelligence enterprise. thank you all.
