Huawei Deepens Digitalization And Accelerates B-End Business Expansion

In 2021, Huawei's full connection conference continued the theme of "digitalization". Under the epidemic situation, this year's conference was mainly held online, which just reflected that digitalization is further deepening social life.

Facing the vast blue ocean of digitalization, Huawei accelerates the export of digital ecological capability. On September 24, Huawei released 11 scenario solutions for customers in the five major industries of government, transportation, finance, energy and manufacturing. In the next five years, Huawei plans to release more than 300 scenario service solutions, establish more than 200 service standards, and help develop more than 800 service partners.

Peng Zhongyang, director of Huawei and President of BG of Huawei, said in an interview with 21st century economic reporter that digital transformation has become a just need, from "why" to "how to do". For enterprises, digital construction is a process from simple to deep.

"Gartner divides digitization into three stages: information digitization, process digitization and business digitization. I think business digitization is not the end of digitization, but the starting point of" deep ploughing "digitization," he said

With the deepening of digital transformation in all walks of life, the giants are making further efforts to provide three-dimensional solutions. Internet enterprises are becoming "hard", and hardware enterprises are increasingly emphasizing "soft" strength. In the future, they will not only compete with the original endowment of enterprises, but also the comprehensive strength of their respective industrial chains.

Attack digital

From Huawei's own experience, Tao Jingwen, director and CIO of Huawei, told reporters: "Huawei has taken digital transformation as the company's strategy since 2016, and has carried out digital transformation in an all-round way for five years. Based on our understanding, digital transformation is a must for any enterprise to build global high-quality competitiveness."

For example, through digital twinning, Huawei's intelligent factory can shorten the product development and trial production cycle by 20%, reduce the number of problems in the manufacturing process by 30%, and improve the per capita efficiency by 30%. It also realizes intelligent detection, intelligent operation and maintenance, order visualization and automatic processing. Based on data governance, the data from R & D to production is the same, and design is manufacturing and what you see is what you get is realized.

Digitalization is a huge market with a trillion level. According to the white paper on the development of China's digital economy in 2021 released by China Academy of communications and communications, the scale of China's digital economy will reach 39.2 trillion yuan in 2020, accounting for 38.6% of GDP, with a nominal growth rate of 9.7% over the same period of last year.

At the same time, Huawei, based on its communication, cloud, AI and other technical capabilities, goes deep into the industry to provide digital services for different enterprises. Among the 11 scenarios released this time, it includes five major industries, such as government and public utilities, and three core solutions of urban agent, including one network management, auxiliary operation and zero trust security, Assist the government in business and process change; In the field of energy, we released two major plans: smart power plant and smart gas station.

In Peng Zhongyang's view, enterprises are facing three challenges in digital transformation, "One is the digitization from auxiliary system to core system, such as marketing, risk control, operation and other production core business scenarios, which is a difficulty faced by enterprises. Secondly, digitization should start to enter into the details of operation scenarios, from headquarters to branches, from the whole to the details of operation system. It is urgent to use digital technology to solve the business pain points, and the scene is more and more Finally, the pain point for enterprises is that they need to move from local to full scene digitization. "

In view of the pain points, Huawei proposes three major directions for enterprise digital deep ploughing. The first is scene deep ploughing. The key to the integration of digital technology and business process lies in three "depth", from auxiliary system to core / production system, from leader cockpit to operation scene details, from local business to full scene coverage to realize full business digitalization; The second is the deep cultivation of the mode. Through the cooperation mode of "consultation + integration + auxiliary operation", Huawei moves towards the cooperation mode with the goal of customer business success; Third, Huawei will upgrade its partner system, become a "black land" for the growth of capacity-based partners, and establish long-term partnership and common development.

B-END Market

Both government affairs and digital transformation of various industries are inseparable from ICT infrastructure, and Huawei has participated in it early. In addition to the well-known mobile phone and 5g equipment business, Huawei also has enterprise business and growing cloud business, which mainly faces the b-end market and is closely related to digital business.

Among them, the enterprise business is also the third business segment in Huawei's revenue. In the first half of 2021, Huawei's enterprise business revenue was 42.9 billion yuan, an increase of 18.2% compared with last year's 36.3 billion yuan, and enterprise business has always been Huawei's new growth point.

At this year's Huawei China ecological conference 2021, Huawei's chairman in office Xu Zhijun once said: "in 2020, Huawei's enterprise business revenue will historically exceed 100 billion yuan, reaching 100.3 billion yuan." since last year, Huawei has been increasing the digital market of government and enterprises. Facing the blue sea, Huawei has also set a new target. By 2025, Huawei's revenue target of Chinese government and enterprise will reach 100.3 billion yuan, It will reach 260 billion yuan.

At present, Huawei continues to promote relevant businesses with high intensity, and the competition in the digital and intelligent market is also more fierce. In addition to the ICT enterprises such as Huawei, Inspur and Xinhua, there are many players in the digital market, including software manufacturers such as salesforce, sap, Kingdee and UFIDA, and Internet companies such as Amazon, Google, Alibaba and Tencent, The giants are working on the right vertical track.

But this may be a choice Huawei has to make. Under pressure, it will speed up the expansion of b-end business, which will also supplement the granary.

It is worth noting that digitalization and intellectualization involve a wide range of fields. It not only needs the support of the underlying hardware, but also a more "soft" solution, that is, the software part of the b-end. In terms of hardware, there is already a mature infrastructure in China, including the original communication equipment, data center, etc., as well as some new infrastructure areas in progress. For Huawei, in terms of b-terminal chips, Huawei has less pressure than C-end chips.

Therefore, Huawei can accelerate the expansion of b-end software applications, operating systems, or collectively referred to as solutions. With Huawei's code addition, whether the vertical industry's operating system, software and hardware integration solutions can open up a new paradigm, and even whether it can form a Chinese standard with its partners has attracted much attention.

Tao Jingwen said: "the goal of digital transformation is to support the success of the enterprise's main business, with business restructuring as the core, and building digital capabilities as the foundation. Huawei has built a digital enabling platform, Hongyuan yundao, based on its own practice. We hope to create an open platform for enterprises, so that digital transformation can be quickly implemented in thousands of industries."
