Platformization reduces the code to provide a way to crack
Large-scale enterprises urgently need to use next-generation platform development technology to realize software innovation, realize the collection and processing of massive data, and the interconnection and intercommunication of internal data in the enterprise, so as to help customers realize digital applications in a low-cost, short-cycle, and high-efficiency way, and then empower Business Innovation. Based on this, IDC believes that platformization + low code is the key for enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency, respond to agile business needs, continue to promote digital priority, and get out of the deep water area of transformation.
- The technical environment of enterprises has become increasingly complex: multi-cloud heterogeneity, multiple data connections, intelligent
IDC predicts that in the next two years, more than 88% of users will cooperate with two or more cloud service providers. The digital infrastructure built by enterprises will be a hybrid architecture environment including traditional data center resources, dedicated private cloud, edge cloud and public cloud IaaS.
The future digital infrastructure is multi-cloud and heterogeneous: factors such as the growth of terminal equipment, diversification of application requirements, reduction of dependence on a single cloud service provider, and response to regulatory requirements require that the computing architecture be continuously adjusted according to business and needs. Therefore, enterprises There is an increasing preference for hybrid cloud and multi-cloud architectures.
According to IDC survey results, 63% of enterprises will adopt a multi-cloud strategy in the next two years to support the interoperability of data and applications between clouds.
The "big trouble" brought about by "big data": the difficulty of data governance caused by large, large, and complex data is an obstacle to the transformation of many enterprises. In the future, as the amount of data continues to increase explosively, data types will become more abundant and infrastructure The data connection and flow between multiple clouds has become an urgent
problem to be solved. Failure to guarantee data authenticity can not only lead to serious decision-making errors, but also limit the effectiveness of enterprises in applying emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data. 
Transforming "big trouble" into "high value": With the increase of deposited digital assets, enterprises need intelligent tools for data governance and data value mining, so as to generate large-scale insights and optimize business processes. To this end, enterprises are now integrating more and more intelligent tools such as big data, machine learning, OCR, and automated operations, which also put forward higher requirements for the openness of enterprise technology architecture and data sharing and interaction. According to the IDC 2021 AI Strategy View survey, early adopters of artificial intelligence-related solutions can optimize customer experience by as much as 39%, improve employee efficiency by 33%, and significantly accelerate the speed of enterprise innovation.
Today's enterprise management scope has covered a huge amount of equipment, several petabytes of data, and countless distributed applications, involving millions of users at every turn. The technological boundaries of enterprises are becoming more and more blurred. In order to quickly respond to the increasingly complex technological environment, enterprises need to build a more advanced, agile, and resilient digital platform to provide sufficient space for enterprise business innovation.
- Platform-based integration of data and processes: data integration, agile governance, expansion of applications, internal and external ecological extension
It is very important to use the platform to build an open technology system, and the large-scale nature of the platform itself is also a necessary means for enterprises to win in the digital age. With the improvement of digitalization level and data readiness in all walks of life, users' demand for product personalization and real-time service response is becoming more and more obvious. Building a new generation of digital platform with technology integration, concept combination and open capabilities will be the future of enterprises. New trends and new requirements for development.
First of all, the development of the platform should fully connect the existing systems and data, and the development tools relied on should be combined with the internal and external systems of the enterprise and the open data governance method. The requirements of multiple data types can achieve the effects of system integration, data integration, and agile governance; secondly, the platform itself must make full use of advanced development concepts to quickly undertake diversified business models and requirements, so that the platform can "more quickly and better save" Finally, the platform must have flexible expansion capabilities to carry various related applications of the third platform and innovation accelerator technology, and provide standard and open interfaces for third-party services, so that the platform can integrate more services , such as access to applications such as edge computing, big data, artificial intelligence, and process automation, to meet the personalized services of specific businesses of enterprises and ecological partners.
When it comes to the specific business scenarios of the enterprise, it can be summed up in the following four points:
-
Promote resource allocation among departments and optimize business processes
Use the platform to integrate data and processes, mainly to carry out resource allocation and business process reengineering according to digital management requirements, which is the integration and reshaping of a series of digital management systems. Specifically, according to the development trend of digital technology, the workflow covering the entire service cycle of the enterprise was redesigned, and on this basis, various business operating systems, functional management systems and data operation portals were integrated into a unified interface, so that Various systems and databases are interconnected to form a complete closed loop. The platform integrates the business of the existing system with various functions such as platform analysis engine, inference technology, and mobile interface, so as to build a new delivery method for the core business. With the mutual interaction between departments and the intersection and connection between various ecosystems, enterprise business will continue to evolve, thus promoting a dynamic business model and making the interaction between business, customers and departments full of resilience. -
Create an agile development environment to respond to sensitive business needs in a timely manner.
Successful companies combine technical strategy with business strategy by maintaining strong technical and operational flexibility, create an agile development environment, and design and test what new technologies can achieve. Possibilities, predict and control unexpected events, embrace change at any stage of the life cycle, focus on continuous business improvement, and optimize product innovation. In a digitalized, consumer-driven economy, speed and agility will be the key determinants of success. As changes continue to accelerate, determined experimentation and rapid iteration will become the core of future business strategies. -
Optimize the application migration process and continue to promote the online migration of business processes
Use a unified digital platform to reshape technology R&D departments, business departments, management departments and other functional departments online, and establish an automated workflow with standardized functional management as the main axis , realize resource allocation, optimize business processes, reduce management costs, and improve service quality. Appropriate and efficient management innovation structures can optimize business and application migration processes, allowing customers to migrate from existing systems with fewer resources and higher reliability Gain value from advanced technologies, and enable different departments to better play synergistic effects, respond to sensitive business needs in a timely manner, and reduce innovation resistance. -
Facing the future, using the platform as the tentacles to open up the data chain within the ecosystem. Platform-
enabled technologies are intertwined and integrated in an unprecedented new way, allowing enterprises to redefine the way they interact with customers and partners, blurring the boundaries between enterprises and industries. IDC believes that the ecosystem built around the platform will be the mainstream form of industrial organization in the future. Large enterprises are leading or building ecosystems in their industries, and through cooperation to complete the transfer of value to end users, with the help of ecology to reap excess profits and create new value. To this end, enterprises need to cope with the increasing complexity and variability, open up the data chain within the ecology, promote the depth of cross-enterprise collaboration with ecological partners, and multiply the value of data.
