Speaking from the Alibaba book launch in Taiwan strategy, elaborated on the concept of shared services business value to the enterprise business development brings. Alibaba will then share how to choose the technical framework of shared services in the construction system, which plays an important technology platform to support a shared services system, which is so far the most comprehensive and systematic introduction to the Foreign Alibaba Group middleware system. In addition to the technical aspects, the book also shared some of the experiences and practices of internal Alibaba, such as infrastructure and institutional organizations how to better support the continued development of shared services system.
Finally, two typical cases to describe how application sharing service system in practical work. One example is a large domestic state-owned enterprises to try and explore the transformation of the Internet, the process of transformation of the successful path eventually took; the other case is a domestic retail enterprises how to reconstruct the enterprise IT architecture based on enterprise-class Internet infrastructure provided by Alibaba, in rapid reconstruction of the short-term supply chain, SCRM and other platforms, to create enterprise-wide channel distribution platform for enterprises in the most competitive retail industry to build a differentiated competitive advantage. Hope that through these two cases the reader to truly see the shared service system projects landing process, and the important role it in the enterprise IT infrastructure and Internet business transformation process played.
