The trend of blockchain has swept the world. At present, various blockchain applications have sprung up at home and abroad, and have been extended to the Internet, Internet of Things, digital asset trading, financial technology and other fields. A new round of technology Innovation and industrial change are likely to break out in 2018.
What is the core of the blockchain application?
The core of blockchain applications is decentralization. Some experts say that the greatest invention of mankind since the Industrial Revolution is the "Internet". Internet applications have brought people fast, reliable, and almost zero-cost information transmission. In just 20 years, we have reshaped our way of life and realized the dream of "global village", and the communication and cooperation inside and outside the enterprise has become more efficient.
From "network device democracy" to Internet thinking, from "application device democracy" to blockchain thinking, this is the same strain. Some big coffees believe that "Internet + blockchain" is a multi-center, disintermediated, self-organized, and trusted network that shares data. Existing Internet applications and traditional industries will be gradually reshaped. Communication, network collaboration, banking and finance, retail e-commerce, government services, smart education, etc., will all be reconstructed by blockchain thinking. A new era of blockchain application, the Internet 3.0 era, is opening to us.
How can enterprises prepare in advance to quickly meet the advent of the era of blockchain applications?
In the late 1990s, salesforce was the first to introduce the concept of remote service delivery in the enterprise.
There is no doubt that blockchain technology can theoretically create a completely secure and democratic network.
At present, the development of the Internet presents obvious characteristics of mobilization, integration, digitization and interaction, which greatly enriches the application scenarios of enterprise collaboration. Enterprise collaboration has gradually adapted to the popularization of Internet + applications. Various Internet-based communication and collaboration applications such as remote video conferences, remote consultations, remote training, remote interviews, remote video customer service, and mobile office have become part of the daily operations of most companies. essential part. The huge computer room construction and server maintenance also bring great costs to enterprise operation and IT department operation and maintenance. Cloudification with light applications and simplified management is the general trend.
Taking the financial industry as an example, the application of the Internet in financial institutions is very common, and the cloudification of financial services has begun to take shape. We can even infer that the financial industry will be the first to enter the era of comprehensive cloudification. In order to cope with the blowout growth of business volume and the control and management of communication costs in the financial industry, cloudification has become the only way. Various financial institutions and applications such as smart bank VTM, remote face-to-face signing, VIP one-to-one remote visual customer service, and self-service card issuance and card issuance are gradually replacing traditional manual services, bringing flatter and faster services to the final population of the financial industry. , a smarter experience.
Under such a new situation, the first thing for service providers focusing on multimedia communication and applications is to give full play to our technical service advantages, focus on professional solutions and service products, and cooperate with industry-leading enterprises to collaborate with manufacturers to create services. Customized solutions for enterprise users.
As a member of China Potevio, a century-old central enterprise, China Southern Telecom has joined hands with Polycom, a leading manufacturer in the field of global enterprise audio and video communication and collaboration, to provide remote collaboration services for enterprises and institutions across the country. RealPresence Clariti, a cloud video conferencing service product based on Polycom's hybrid cloud software service architecture, lays a solid foundation for enterprise cloud applications. The business spans multiple application fields such as government informatization, telemedicine, smart education, smart finance, and technology courts.
However, it has to be admitted that the price that users are willing to pay for "security" is limited. Unless the price of storage and CPU can drop indefinitely, blockchain will be realized first in some high-end fields, such as the financial industry; The full blockchainization of deployment and the Internet of Everything can only be another utopian dream.
