From the perspective of the development stage of the industry, the concept of using digital tools is still in the early stage of market penetration.

According to a survey by McKinsey Consulting, although 70% of enterprises have started digitization, 71% of them are still in the pilot stage, and 85% of enterprises stay for more than one year, and can not achieve large-scale promotion. That’s according to a McKinsey survey of more than 800 traditional companies around the world.

The reason is that the real difficulty in the process of digital transformation of enterprises is that most enterprises do not have sufficient understanding of digital technology, lack a clear digital strategy and transformation roadmap, and lack a large number of interdisciplinary talents who understand digital technology and data management, as well as product and business operations.

At the same time, in the process of digital transformation, enterprises will have common demands for software development, but they are faced with many obstacles such as high project cost, long development cycle, low code quality and difficult team management.

When pain points and needs exist at the same time, it is one of the best soils for business.

Especially in the context of digital economy becoming a national strategy, while digitalization in various fields in China has become a definite trend, the large number of small and medium-sized enterprises in the Chinese market in urgent need of upgrading and transformation, extremely urgent need for professional SaaS service providers to provide help, so as to accelerate the digital transformation process of Chinese enterprises.

It can be observed that there have been vertical industry SaaS enterprises such as Weimeng and Shiji Information in the Chinese market, which have achieved rapid development in various vertical fields. For example, Weimeng’s revenue in 2021 increased by 36.4% year-on-year, and gross profit increased by 51.3% year-on-year. Among them, subscription solutions and merchant solutions achieved year-on-year growth of 90.9% and 47.5%, respectively, especially considering the overall pressure environment of the Internet industry in 2021, WeimU fully demonstrated high growth.

In addition to vertical industry SaaS, software development tool SaaS is also in the blue ocean.

For example, for large enterprise customers, their business is complex, digital transformation needs are more personalized, requiring diverse and comprehensive functions, and many functional requirements and potential problems are not fully known by SaaS service providers in advance, but must be continuously optimized through the specific practice of enterprises.

Therefore, compared with simple vertical SaaS to provide standardized functional modules, software development tool SaaS can deposit development experience into the enterprise and form a virtuous cycle of reuse, and enterprises can continue to develop software iteratively according to their own needs.

After in-depth observation of the industry, the author believes that the SoFlu software robot recently released by FeI is quite characteristic, and it is a software development tool SaaS that can successfully complete the above needs, and has had successful practical projects in CNPC, Junzhi Consulting and other enterprises.

It is reported that SoFlu software robot is the world’s first software robot for microservice architecture design and best practice. Its practical experience in integrating Internet architecture changes the traditional operation mode of software engineering through tooling, standardization and automation: Reduce the threshold from development, testing to operation and maintenance, effectively land the agile management system, deposit technical experience in the enterprise, and form a virtuous cycle of reuse. Through man-machine collaboration, software back-end development, front-end development, testing, operation and maintenance are automatically completed, comprehensively improving enterprise IT productivity, and truly reducing cost and increasing efficiency.

In the case of the R&D and reconstruction of SoFlu software robot in the construction of a large mall in petrochina, the development efficiency improvement and development quality assurance are excellent.

In the traditional mode, the CNPC e-commerce platform, which takes 27 people to develop more than 300 days, after the participation of SoFlu software robots, only 9 people +5 software robots, it takes 45 days to efficiently complete the system reconstruction and online. According to CNPC, the platform has been running for nearly a year, and the stability of the overall performance has been verified.

The powerful product power of SoFlu software robot has been recognized by many big players in the industry, and is optimistic about the long-term development of flight computing. At the recent SoFlu software robot product launch conference, Ni Guangnan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said, “Over the past one and a half years, I have witnessed the birth and growth of SoFlu software robot. I am very excited to see that SoFlu software robot has been applied and recognized in many industries such as finance, medical treatment and retail, helping enterprises greatly reduce costs and increase efficiency.”

From the perspective of the business model, SoFlu software robots are paid annually, and the cost performance is not low compared to the labor costs and time efficiency saved during the actual use of the product.
