Foreword
2020 start doomed it is an extraordinary year, Wuhan outbreak is accompanied by people or anxiety or anger or brave or generous mood.
As the epidemic continues to seriously, people response to the call, a stay at home over the New Year's. As the time draws near for work, companies for security, had to be postponed so that employees time together, have started to try telecommuting way to restore production.
2020 will be the chances of telecommuting first year, this is the first of many companies, although the Internet has a variety of articles on how to guide the enterprises to carry out remote office, but in the actual implementation process always find this kind of disappointments especially the first day of February 3 started to nail as the representative of a public service enterprise in this day all sorts of problems. Within the enterprise, but also to hear two different voices, a very like a complain.
Enterprise employees, out of the cubicle and meeting rooms, using the Internet to connect with each other, complete collaboration. By text or video conferencing, although the communication efficiency may be slightly lower than face to face communication. But by strictly controlling the way to strengthen the management of document formats, conferences and other processes can make up for these gaps to a certain extent.
No matter what way, telecommuting for enterprises in the management level presents new challenges, whether the nature of these challenges is the test companies can make good use of existing Internet and software products to complete the collaboration between employees. This is an old and new concept: enterprise information.
Enterprise Information
Say old, I am afraid that in the computer age is also an area of several hundred square meters, it was an attempt to carry out certain business services to companies using the computer. It fresh, because with the development of computer technology, the concept of enterprise information kept changing the hot search on various titles, such as cloud computing, SaaS services.
The degree of enterprise information, directly determines the quality of the implementation of telecommuting. A good product to some extent even be able to reduce administrative costs, so a lot of red tape to become naturally occurring things. In a sense, the degree of competition is the message of the modern enterprise competition.
The competitive nature of the firm, the efficiency of the dispute. Efficiency of enterprises directly reflected in the prices of the products offered by the enterprise, the more efficient enterprises have more advantages in price. Under digest, innovative Internet companies like the so-called business model, in essence, in fact, is the use of certain technical advantages to reduce a portion of the costs, the price advantage is generated, and then re-allocated to the cost of different types of user groups to go. Use of the Internet, the first is to reduce the cost of human relations form. Internet companies usual free mode, in fact, people with high pay to subsidize low-paying crowd. From a competitive perspective, innovative business model must be based on the use of technology to bring the price advantage of the above.
On the establishment of relations in this direction, like water and electricity have been Internet technology in general, it has been very widely used, almost deep into every aspect of daily life. Internet technology Fengyun stones out in the big pond of human society, sparking price advantage ripples, are disappearing. For the application of computer technology, so far there is no depth.
If a business, remote office efficiency is still not comparable with the cubicle, indicating that telecommuting saved commuting costs and rent are not enough to convince businesses, indicating that there is heavy reliance on short remote direct communication to complete the work in-house, indicating that business management there is a big gray space, indicating that companies have a lot of space efficiency improvement. Telecommuting is like a mirror, he tells us that there is much in this space.
The existence of this space efficiency, which means, who earlier use of information technology to improve efficiency, the more opportunity to achieve a dominant position in future competition.
market situation
Enterprise Information There are four main ways: self-development, enterprise software, SaaS services, outsourcing. This four options have their own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages.
Self-development, is an enterprise development teams to develop their own internal organization software. In this way the most flexible, cost is the highest. For business owners and technology-related business itself, good corporate revenue, since the inquiry recommended way, not only because of flexible, this technology is also a good team of people petri dish to facilitate the formation of internal talent that enters staff Adjustment. Other cases of business, due to the costly, especially for core staff team technical capacity requirements high, so it is the early formation of the team, or to maintain the team late, are needed to manage and high labor costs, it is not recommended since Research ways.
Enterprise software, is software developed sophisticated software applications available. Because the software this particular commodity, after the completion of its development, the marginal cost is almost zero, resulting in the sale price of the software is very tragic. Make the software in the design, we had to try to cover more and more users to expand sales channels. This makes the complexity of the software itself is high, leading to business users often find that when using the software, although companies need to complete the function, but the completion of the process is always full of twists and turns, the software is always full of nothing to do with enterprise users themselves design. Intuitive software user experience is very difficult to use. Its advantage is the low price of software; disadvantage is the need to adapt to enterprise software, part of the adaptation process will bring hidden costs. This requires a trade-off.
SaaS services, in recent years, with the development of cloud computing and the emergence of Web technology. SaaS software developers to directly provide a ready to use product registration, SaaS service is economical and convenient, welcomed by many small businesses. SaaS service problem in that it is often only solve a single problem enterprises, SaaS is often relatively closed system, especially a lot of domestic services is not open, it is difficult to form information system. Because of the characteristics of data stored on SaaS, but also lead to business it is difficult to be assured on the core business moved to SaaS services. After the firm size is slightly larger on the right track, developing a proprietary system is not unaffordable costs, which lead to SaaS services are mostly low paid mainly small and medium users. Some SaaS developers started to follow the market, the gradual privatization of support deployment and provides custom development services.
Outsourcing, which is the mainstream form of enterprise services. On the one hand, with the flexibility of self-development outsourcing or less, on the other hand, the cost is much lower than the self-study. Outsourcing The biggest problem is that the selection of outsourcing companies. Different outsourcing business technology, product quality is uneven. Pick out a fly outsourcing companies can often do more with less. In the selection of technology-based outsourcing company, it is recommended to assist relevant professionals to study its history and technology stack, and track follow-up communication. Outsourcing will often offer the privatization deployment and source code, which gives companies the subsequent free update maintenance possible.
development trend
Almost everyone can foresee in the near future, people can use AR technology to achieve high-bandwidth and holographic video conferencing. At that time, even thousands of miles away can still "face to face." But before that, the use of existing technologies but also show what kind of picture it?
Cloud computing in recent years has been rapid development, from the Amazon, Alibaba began, public cloud as a network infrastructure is well known. Then at Docker, K8S as the representative of the container to come from behind the clouds attitude began to show their superiority. Enterprise private cloud began to develop the so-called private clouds with public cloud is not the opposite of the concept, not only can build private clouds in their own separate room, but also built on the basis of public cloud services. Private private cloud, more data means the ownership of the software generated during operation. This corresponds to the concept of this concept is SaaS software as a service, private cloud there must be closely followed local deployment (or deployed privatization) logic software.
Now endless types of SaaS services, though has been tepid in the business, but in show one thing: endless possibilities of Web technology. We have been able to clearly see the perfect realization of possible existing types of client software on the Web application. Web technology excellent cross-platform capability brings considerable cost advantages, not only Web terminal, mobile terminal with excellent performance, Electron is this capability out into the desktop. Web development framework at the same time more and more mature direction towards quick and easy.
Web technologies and cloud technology, the former will bring many possible enterprise information.
Longgui Technology is committed to Web applications and cloud technologies, providing information technology consulting, product design, software development and deployment, private cloud construction, operation and maintenance of automation (CICD), and other services.
Information technology system
All kinds of enterprises to use existing services at the same time building information system, following the development trend of technology, so that enterprises always in the efficient state, in order to gain a dominant position in the competition.
Because the software is zero cost of reproduction and differentiation between different enterprises, both of which will make the enterprise software will jointly develop the professional and dedicated towards both directions.
Professional applications, will deal with a single class of common problems, enterprise software, SaaS class software development in this direction.
Exclusive applications, is used to solve specific business or business processes for a variety of professional applications will be connected in series to achieve office automation effect will be with internal adjustment to changing business.
Therefore, we want to build the information system, according to the specific issues in different ways. Of course, this is a huge topic, I will follow-up article, from a business perspective, one after another about how to use existing services, a step by step to complete the construction of enterprise information system.
Welcome attention.
