Both online and offline models work

The arrival of the novel coronavirus epidemic has forced a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises that rely on physical venues to shut down, such as shopping malls, catering, tourism, movies and other physical retail industries to be greatly impacted. “One of our offline partners previously used offline stores as the main business model; After the epidemic, all the salespeople became webcasters. “Closing more than 90 percent of our stores across the country was expected to have a significant impact on our business revenue, but when we switched to online trading, we saw an unexpected increase.” Yuan Qian, vice president of Alibaba Group and president of Alibaba Cloud Intelligence International, introduced such a case.

DSDO131 During the period of epidemic prevention and control and the resumption of business operations, the new generation of digital information technology, represented by 5G, cloud computing and artificial intelligence, has played an important role in many application scenarios. This also opens up new ideas for the development of business managers, that is, seize the new opportunities of the era of digital empowerment, accelerate the completion of their own digital transformation, in order to create greater value.

In fact, enterprise digital transformation is also a necessity. Li Chun, chairman of Sichuan Architectural Design and Research Institute Co., LTD., took the engineering construction industry as an example to introduce that the current development mode of the engineering construction industry is still relatively extensive, inefficient, and the problem of inadequate development is still prominent.

Especially in the special context of the novel coronavirus epidemic, the traditional construction industry has been greatly impacted, and the traditional development model is no longer sustainable. The industry is well aware of the urgent need to accelerate the coordinated development of intelligent construction and building industrialization, integrate new technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things, form an industrial system that covers the whole industrial chain integration of DSDO131 scientific research, design, production and processing, construction and assembly, operation and maintenance, and walk out of a new road of intensive and high-quality development.

But the road will not be easy. Experts said that the digital transformation of traditional enterprises still faces a series of problems such as network security, data traffic processing, “data island”, data migration broadband in the cloud process, and ecosystem construction.

Companies should move forward boldly

This year’s government work report for the first time included “new infrastructure construction”, aiming to promote the digital transformation process of all walks of life through the construction of information infrastructure, integration infrastructure, and innovation infrastructure, and cultivate new momentum for the development of China’s digital economy.

“I heard that digital transformation can promote sales, improve efficiency and reduce costs, but want to transform and ‘will not turn’?”

“Heard that digital transformation costs are high, want to transform but ‘can’t transform’?”

“Heard that the digital transformation cycle is long, want to transform and ‘dare not turn’?”

On May 13, the National Development and Reform Commission jointly launched the “Digital Transformation Partnership Action” and launched digital transformation evaluation services to “consult the pulse” for enterprises’ digital transformation and solve the problem of “DSDO131 will not turn, cannot turn, dare not turn”.

In Li Chun’s view, enterprises should deepen their understanding of digital trends and values, start from demand, and implement digital applications at their own pace. At the same time, it is necessary to plan an appropriate development path and identify the focus of transformation.

With the deepening of the application of digital economy and the deepening of the integration of business and technology, the upgrading of traditional business applications and the innovation of business models are inseparable from the support of emerging digital technologies. “If enterprises want to transform in the economic era, they need to clarify the market logic, actively partner with new technology partners, expand the boundaries of the industry, and achieve industrial digital technology upgrades.” Li Chun said.

Experts said that there are many factors for the development of the digital economy, and enterprises should take the aggregation of industrial data as an effective starting point in practice, to maximize the efficiency of digital economy development, improve the level of digitalization, and establish data center and business center on the cloud to continue to empower enterprise development.
