In recent years, central state-owned enterprises have established digital technology companies one after another, which can be said to be a manifestation of the increasingly strong demand for digital intelligence and the maturing of digital intelligence capabilities of central state-owned enterprises. At present, there are nearly 500 digital companies in central enterprises, among which the digital intelligence transformation of energy, transportation logistics, and information and communication is making rapid progress.
Then, as an independent operating entity, the digital company itself should transform and upgrade under the wave of digital intelligence to improve its operation level? And how to improve its own digital intelligence capabilities, better serve group companies, and even empower digital intelligence in the industry? I will share the above topics with you through three issues. Welcome everyone to continue to pay attention and leave comments for interaction.
In this issue, let’s talk about the transformation of digital companies from IT operation and maintenance to value operation.
"Industrial digitalization" and "digital industrialization" appeared many times in the "Outline of the 14th Five-Year Plan" . The former allowed many central state-owned enterprises to integrate resources to establish digital companies to carry out digital and intelligent transformation around their main business; the latter It means that after the transformation experience is accumulated, the digital results can be exported, and the digital technology company will transform from a cost center to a profit center. During this process, the digital technology company has gradually completed the transformation from IT operation and maintenance to value operation.
What did they experience during this transition?
In the past three decades, most IT organizations have faced the challenges of rapid expansion of IT facilities, increasing number of IT applications, and increasing pressure on IT operations. For a long time, the primary task of IT organizations has been to manage Capabilities ensure that the system can "live". With the continuous innovation of business, the continuous implementation of Internet + thinking, industrial Internet, etc., and the continuous application of agile development process, more and more IT organizations have begun to move from "passive maintenance" to "active operation", pursuing how to "live well " ".
Then, moving from IT operation and maintenance to value operation is the only way for digital companies to go from "alive" to "live well" .
The capabilities and operating models of digital companies have changed in several key dimensions, that is, more attention should be paid to data value mining and utilization, application system construction should pay more attention to reusability and industrial chain social integration needs, and need to be more open, easy to expand and interconnect The interoperable system architecture and infrastructure should be highly cloud-based and used on-demand, IT delivery should shift to platform engineering to improve agility, personnel skills should pay more attention to new technology empowerment, and build a team that conforms to agile product delivery and operation.
Digital companies that have entered the value operation stage usually have four characteristics:
0 1 platform
It is about to coordinate many information and digital resources within the group, and concentrate on building comprehensive digital capabilities
0 2Marketization _
Conducive to realizing market-oriented allocation of data resources and participating in market competition
0 3 specialization
Empower the Group's business development and digital transformation through digital professional operations and development
0 4 Innovation
Drive the innovation atmosphere of the enterprise with digital intelligence, better innovate the scientific and technological system and mechanism, and better empower the development of scientific and technological innovation.
In the next issue, we will start with the base of digital intelligence and share how the digital technology company consolidates the group's digital intelligence capabilities by upgrading the base of digital intelligence.
