The "new infrastructure" that my country is vigorously advocating has become a new driving force for the digital transformation of enterprises. The sudden new crown epidemic in 2020 has affected the global economic development and people's lives, but it has also forced companies to actively find ways out and further accelerate the pace of digital transformation.

Why is the new infrastructure accelerating the pace of digitalization?
Why are companies accelerating their digitalization process under the new crown pneumonia epidemic?
New infrastructure accelerates the pace of digitalization
1. Traditional infrastructure drives the development of the national economy
Whether in the past or present, my country's traditional infrastructure capabilities such as high-speed railways, expressways, and airports have continued to improve. These infrastructure projects have not only shortened the distance between the city and the city, and between the countryside and the countryside, and provided convenience for the lives of urban and rural residents, but also created a large number of jobs, promoted economic exchanges and development in different regions, and actively promoted the social economy. Prosperity.
2. New infrastructure accelerates the pace of enterprise digital transformation
"New Infrastructure" empowers the transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing fields with a new generation of information technology, and brings new scenarios and applications. Especially when the new crown epidemic in 2020 has severely affected the national economy and society, the new infrastructure of medical treatment represented by medical informatization has received special attention.
In addition to the new medical infrastructure, other "new infrastructure" also includes 5G, UHV, inter-city high-speed railway and inter-city rail transit, industrial Internet, new energy vehicle charging piles, big data centers, artificial intelligence, etc., which involve multiple social and people's livelihoods. Infrastructure construction in key industries, these are the general application directions of "new infrastructure". In terms of big data centers, IT equipment vendors, IDC integration service providers, cloud computing vendors, software vendors, etc. can all strengthen cooperation under the advocacy of "new infrastructure" to achieve a win-win situation.
The development of "new infrastructure" not only refreshes people's understanding of digital technology, but also provides support for big data to transform traditional industries and tap new market opportunities. For example, in recent years, the continuous emergence of live streaming, social e-commerce, car sharing, and driverless driving are all inseparable from new infrastructure.
Vigorously advocating new infrastructure will accelerate the pace of digital transformation of enterprises. On the one hand, with the economic downturn, companies have limited profit margins. Actively using new infrastructure represented by digital technology to carry out digital transformation has become the starting point for companies to break the bottleneck of development. In addition, policy advocacy for the development of new infrastructure has also promoted the integration of digital technologies in various industries to a certain extent. The integration of various industries and digital technology does not only refer to the construction of basic network technology, but to go deep into the industry, deepen the integration of digital technology, business and products, and coordinate advancement. This can not only help digital technology to be implemented smoothly in different industries, but also help enterprises to further explore new business opportunities.
All in all, the development of "new infrastructure" has broadened the application scope of digital technology and accelerated the pace of digital transformation of enterprises.
Under the new crown pneumonia epidemic, companies accelerate their digitalization process
At the beginning of 2020, the sudden attack of the new crown epidemic broke the peace of the Spring Festival. The epidemic has brought the country’s economy and life to a close, and the resumption of business and the opening of schools have been generally postponed in many industries, especially the cultural and entertainment industries such as catering, tourism, and movies. Suffered heavy losses, some companies even closed down due to long periods of closure. Due to the economic losses caused by the epidemic, companies have begun to integrate digital technology and operation management to achieve cost reduction and efficiency increase through digital transformation.
Under the epidemic crisis , it is not only this time for companies to take the initiative to change. During the "SARS" period in 2003, Alibaba launched Taobao and developed an e-commerce platform, which accelerated the development of China's e-commerce industry. Similarly, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the development of numerous online activities also drove the digital transformation of enterprises.
During the epidemic, the tourism industry was hit by the epidemic, and revenue plummeted, which also forced the tourism industry to accelerate its online deployment. Tourism companies have chosen online communication methods represented by live webcasts, cloud tourism, and online scenic spots, which not only increased the exposure of tourism products and increased user coverage, but also promoted many products, all of which are after the epidemic. Tourism recovery has warmed up during the manufacturing industry. During the epidemic, all workers were unable to arrive, productivity was insufficient, the supply of raw materials was interrupted, and the construction period was delayed. Some companies realized remote control through the IoT big data platform in time to ensure the pace of production. Many domestic companies are also actively using digital technology to seek new business scenarios and provide users with more online activity platforms. For example, actively researching and developing data platforms for travel and medical treatment to help front-line epidemic prevention and control work. They use big data technology to share case data in real time, use positioning technology to obtain personal trajectories, and use network technology and smart terminals to achieve remote diagnosis and treatment.
