Time moved forward to May 16, 2019. Beautiful China included HW in the "entity list", and HW HiSilicon announced that it would become a regular "spare tire" overnight. However, what was even more serious was that HW did not expect that a few days later, Oracle notified HW to cut off supply and cease services. The "terms of agreement" and the "more than 20 years of cooperation" were all thrown into the Pacific Ocean!
The E RP system is the core system of HW as a company. If there is a problem, it will lead to a complete paralysis of the business with an annual output value of hundreds of billions in 170+ countries around the world, and the consequences will be disastrous!
The "cutoff of supply and service" of ERP is like a "Dadu River" that affects the survival of enterprises suddenly crossing the road. There is no way out, and "forcing the Dadu River" becomes the only option. Therefore, HW teamed up with 9 industrial partners/ecosystem partners, spent 3 years and invested thousands of people to successfully develop its own MetaERP. After trial operation, it successfully replaced the old ERP. At this point, HWE RP is no longer stuck by other countries!
P provides us with the following warnings:
1. The importance of enterprise digital transformation: With the advent of the digital era, enterprise digital transformation has become an inevitable trend. Like Huawei, companies should actively advocate independent innovation to meet market demand and enhance core competitiveness.
2. The necessity of independent and controllable technology: Independent and controllable technology is the key to ensuring enterprise information security and competitive advantage, and is of great significance to both the country and enterprises. HW's independent research and development of the ERP system reflects its high emphasis on independent and controllable technology.
3. Challenges of independent research and development: Independent research and development requires enterprises to devote more time, manpower and financial resources, and needs to face market risks and technical challenges. Therefore, companies need to optimize organizational structures, improve R&D efficiency, and shorten R&D cycles to ensure the success of independent R&D.
4. Practice the spirit of innovation: In the process of independent research and development of E RP, HW continues to try and practice innovation, and constantly improves products and services. This spirit can stimulate the innovation enthusiasm and potential within the enterprise and help the enterprise gain advantages in market competition.
Dimension Cloud Industrial Products Procurement, Sales and Inventory ERP is completely independently developed and developed from 0 to 1 of the underlying code, which deeply matches the sales, procurement, warehousing, finance and other aspects of the industrial products industry. A company as large as Huawei advocates self-developed ERP, which shows how important the original intellectual property rights of the system are to the company. If the technology is not firmly in its own hands, it may be stuck at any time in the future, curbing the development of the company and using open source ERP code. The secondary developed system will be a time bomb on the road of enterprise development!
Why do we need independent research and development?
1. Do not infringe the intellectual property rights of others (country) and rely on your own scientific and technological knowledge to conduct research and inventions.
2. If the core technology is not mastered, it is easy for others to take advantage of it;
3. If you do not conduct independent research and development, you will never have the most advanced technology. The international blockade of the latest technology has become an international practice. What is available on the market is often the product of the previous generation that is used up by the producing country;
4. Independent research and development helps develop the entire industrial system. For example, the research and development of engines can drive the development of science and technology such as special metals and materials science.
