Industrial age of the Internet, enterprise digital transition will become a trend. Well-known global research firm IDC had a survey, by 2018, Global 1000 companies in 67% of Chinese companies in 1000 will be 50% of the digital transition as a core business strategy; to 2020, China's GDP a 20% increase in the value of the business will come from digital transformation, the digital transition will rise to the macroeconomic level, reshaping the economic landscape is changing the way companies operate at the same time.
In fact, the digital transformation of digital technology is integrated into the management field of internal and external business environment to change, resulting in a decisive change for the entire business value chain. So how digital technology to help enterprises in the digital transition? Then from the station began to talk.
First, what is the Taiwan
-Taiwan is a new concept, but it is an old term, but in the new era we give it new meaning. This is because in the digital economy, IT construction methods have undergone major changes, rapid response to demand, we need to build IT with innovative ideas. 
In Taiwan, by abstracting business, data and technology, the ability to reuse services, to build enterprise-class service capabilities, eliminating the barriers between internal business units, branches at all levels, to adapt to enterprises, especially large multi-business conglomerate development strategy of. Based in Taiwan, we can quickly build foreground application for end-customers, to meet a variety of personalized features front desk needs to provide clear the way for the digital transformation of enterprises.
Defined in the table:
- In Taiwan is an enterprise-class platform with the ability to reuse, to have a common ability to support more business. The core is the "functional reuse" build "large and medium units, small reception" to meet the rapidly expanding needs of the business;
2. The main responsibility is to consolidate all business data, collaborative business units, refining the common needs of the business, before supporting the rapid development of back office operations;
3. precipitated a large number of user behavior data (included in the non-user system), laid the foundation for new business models big data intelligence algorithm;
4. As a business services provider, does not depend on the stability of the business, it needs to continue to provide the ability to support new business.
Second, the relationship between Taiwan and the foreground, the background
to understand the table, we must first understand what the front and back of each finger:
Front: Front platform consists of various types of reception systems composed. Reception front-end platform system, is the application layer interact directly with the end user. Each system user reception system is a contact that end-user companies directly or interactive, enterprise and end-user point of intersection. For example, we use every day APP, H5 end, PC-side program belong to the foreground and a small system.
Background: the back-end system platform by the background composed. Background refers to the back-end platform system, the end user can not perceive its existence. The value of the background is the enterprise storage and computing core data (data + computing), such as financial systems, production systems, customer management systems, logistics management systems, such systems constitute the company's background.
Infrastructure and computing platform as the core of enterprise computing resources, also part of the background. But not for the front and back born, it needs to be changed due to changes in the front end to the rear end of the support, thus creating rapid response required for the background. However, the goal is not to set up backstage to serve the foreground, the background is the value of the core data storage and computing companies, is to enhance management efficiency and system security and stability of the back-end data.
At this point the foreground and background is like two different speed of gear, the front desk because the front-end user to quickly respond to the needs, the emphasis is on rapid innovation and iteration, it requires speed as quickly as possible; ⽽ the background due to the relatively stable ⾯ the back-end resources on it and the often complex systems obsolete, and even by the audit and other related laws and regulations, compliance constraints, it is stable first, the more stable the better, the speed is naturally the slower the better. So, with the development of their business, such "foreground + background" gear rate "matching imbalances," the problem is gradually revealed.
In order to change this contradictory situation, adapt to the demands of rapid iteration, "the station" was born, as if the gear system in Taiwan, the former driven by the rapid rotation of the back-office systems. We can split out the background logic layer, forming a "foreground (application layer) - China-Taiwan (logic level) - background (data layer)" product architecture. In this product architecture, the current units demand comes, the station can quickly respond, so as to enhance the development efficiency and reduce the cost of innovation.
Third, the classification table
In Taiwan is generated from multiple front-office applications to share similar needs, so first proposed in Taiwan is Taiwan business, data is generated from business systems, and business system also needs the results of data analysis, then whether It can store data and computing power business systems to pull away, providing storage and computing power by a single data processing platform? This will not only simplify the complexity of the business system itself, but also allows each system to adopt more appropriate technology, the province focused only good thing. The platform specific data i.e., data processing units.
Of course, there are technical in Taiwan, providing a simple and consistent application interface, the ability to integrate a variety of middleware technologies and packaging business to provide a unified technical support and output. The last stage is the organization, but the organizational restructuring is a big problem, the typical organizational structure including: linear function of the type (U), divisional (M), matrix type, network type, platform type, also not the various combinations and variants; if combined business model, we also need to understand the often mentioned amoeba business model as well as Haier's independent management body ...... so, these are certainly not the article can speak clearly, Therefore, this paper focuses on the table and talk about business data in the table.
Fourth, the business units and data station
business in Taiwan is the transformation of the Road Enterprise IT business architecture Alibaba first proposed. Alibaba standing global perspective, the business units are from the overall strategy, business support, connectivity and other consumer and business innovation co-ordination of planning. Ali's business units to pay more attention to how support services and business services.
Ali will be technical in Taiwan by Ali cloud platform deployment, shared business units (in units) within the group to provide support and, ultimately, to the front desk of each business line provides the ability to service output.
Business units that white is the business and the business logic of isolation and through the development of standards and norms, a clear description of what services, data and functions they have to reduce communication costs, improve collaboration efficiency, so any line of business are equipped with the entire company core competencies, each service provided by fast, low-cost and innovative capacity.
From a technical point of view, Taiwan is doing in order to build a fast and flexible response to changes in architecture, faster front-end implementation requirements to mention, to avoid duplication of functions with highly complex building, which is agile, more efficient place. From a business perspective, with the ability to precipitate in Taiwan, to support rapid innovation, research and development to make more flexible, more agile business, in order to respond to market changes in the future unpredictable. Calmly say, some features other business segments has already done, so long as the underlying combination of what you can, more flexible and fast.
业务中台是企业中台建设的核心，需要解决多业务领域的复杂协同，所以面临的挑战比较大，需要一把手牵头，总体规划、分步实施，找准切入点；明确业务目标和范围，先试点，用验证过的技术平台和中台方法论去赋能业务；在试点过程中，持续融合和迭代优化，磨合出自己的中台理念，构建自己的业务能力生态，才能逐步铺开，最终优化组织，提升效率。
接下来谈下数据中台是什么？数据中台与数据仓库的区别？数据中台与业务中台如何融合？
所谓数据中台，即实现数据的分层与水平解耦，沉淀公共的数据能力，它可分为三层，数据模型、数据服务与数据开发。通过数据建模实现跨域数据整合和知识沉淀；通过数据服务实现对于数据的封装和开放，快速、灵活满足上层应用的要求；通过数据开发工具满足个性化数据和应用的需要，见下图（以某运营商为例）：
1、数据模型
数据模型是分层次的，以前叫作数据仓库模型。这里概括为三层，基础模型一般是关系建模，主要实现数据的标准化，我们叫作“书同文、车同轨”。融合模型一般是维度建模，主要实现跨越数据的整合，整合的形式可以是汇总、关联，也包括解析，挖掘模型其实是偏应用的，但如果用的人多了，你也可以把挖掘模型作为企业的知识沉淀到中台，比如客户浏览偏好分析的模型具有很大的共性，就应该有人把它规整到中台模型，以便开放给其他人使用，中台的中是相对的，没有绝对的标准。
2、数据服务
将数据模型按照应用要求做了服务封装，就构成了数据服务，这个跟业务中台中的服务概念是完全相同的，只是数据封装比一般的功能封装要难一点，毕竟OLTP功能的变化有限，而数据分析受市场因素的影响很大，变化更快，导致服务封装的难度变大。随着企业大数据运营的深入，各类大数据应用层出不穷，对于数据服务的需求非常迫切，大数据如果不服务化，就无法规模化，也无法满足内外大数据服务的要求。
3、数据开发
只有数据模型和数据服务还是远远不够的，因为再好的现成数据和服务也往往无法满足前端个性化的要求，这时候就得授人以鱼不如授人以渔了，数据中台的最后一层就是数据开发，其按照开发难度也分为三个层次，最简单的是提供标签库（DMP），用户可以基于标签的组装快速形成营销客户群，一般面向业务人员;其次是提供数据开发平台，用户可以基于该平台访问到所有的数据并进行可视化开发，一般面向SQL开发人员，最后就是提供应用环境和组件，让技术人员可以自主打造个性化数据产品，以上层层递进，满足不同层次人员的要求。
五、中台背后的思考
企业中台的建设是一个系统性工程，不会一步到位更不可能一蹴而就，我们看到阿里巴巴的中台建设很成功，也听到不同的成功案例，但别人的成功并不意味着自己的成功。企业中台的落地，背后是治理，是企业架构的与时俱进和不断迭代。
1、战略对齐
确保业务战略和IT战略的对齐，IT对企业战略、业务输出结构性支撑和技术支撑。
2、企业架构
企业架构需要洞悉环境与产业变迁，预见企业运营发展，建立科学合理的业务架构和IT架构，治理IT资产和业务的关系以及与组织的关系，从而保证IT对齐战略，成为战略的执行基础。
3、可复用
基础服务有了，那通过中台向前台提供“相应的服务”还是提供“一揽子的服务”？取决于服务提供的可开放共用的程度。就像我们看到，各大互联网决定中台建设的开始，总是要伴随企业层级的组织架构的调整。破除部门墙、业务墙、数据墙，通过开放共享实现“可复用”的目标终究是中台建设的原则。
4、灵活扩展
在一揽子的中台服务都可输出后，业务量可能会短时间大大激增。能否扛得住大流量高峰时期的高并发、高可用将成为一个大挑战。底层的可灵活扩展能力将非常重要。企业应当应用DevOps、Docker、微服务等先进的开发技术理念，在中台建设前就开启数字化的技术转型。
Six companies in Taiwan Future
growth in Taiwan is inseparable from the front desk service innovation, only continuous and iterative trial and error business update on the table with new challenges and higher requirements, will allow the station to do more it is good. On the other hand, the station also needs its own product, platform construction to think, and as a new business incubator.
The station also needs to be built into an open system. Open not only for the open enterprise, but also open to external companies. By building in Taiwan, companies can own in Taiwan system to become an open platform, so for other companies to provide adequate third-party data and services. Furthermore, the station itself through an open can also use and integrate third-party data and services through an open API, support more individual needs and customized extensions.
"There is no best, only the most suitable"! The most suitable enterprise units must be when you understand the business, products, systems, organizations, and not only to understand where today, but also to understand how the past is evolved, how the future will evolve only if you know it all after things in order to make the best of architecture design companies in Taiwan.
