The rapid development of the digital economy, the wide range of radiation, and the unprecedented depth of its impact are becoming a key force in reorganizing global factor resources, reshaping the global economic structure, and changing the global competitive landscape.
On October 18, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee proposed to promote the healthy development of China's digital economy, to give full play to the advantages of massive data and rich application scenarios, promote the deep integration of digital technology and the real economy, empower the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, give birth to new industries, new formats and new models, and continuously strengthen and optimize China's digital economy.
So in the digital transformation, how to promote the deep integration of the real economy and the digital economy, and create a new competitive advantage for enterprises, especially large enterprises and group enterprises?
Wang Xingshan, CEO of Inspur Group, said that under the new global development pattern, with the help of digital technology, large enterprises or group enterprises need to build six new capabilities to cope with various uncertainties, complexities and new changes in customer needs. At the same time, the three waves of technological revolution, industrial upgrading, and xinchuang are superimposed, and the enterprise application software ecology is also being reconstructed. Inspur will unite excellent professional service providers inside and outside the United Nations to build a new ecosystem of enterprise application software for a new generation, help enterprises to digitally transform and upgrade intelligently, and create a world-class enterprise.
1. The world's first-class enterprise digital preferred platform
Wang Xingshan pointed out that the essence of digital transformation is to use digital technology to give new momentum to the high-quality development of enterprises. In the process of transforming old and new kinetic energy, it is necessary to balance the relationship between operational excellence and innovative development, and achieve innovative development while ensuring operational excellence.
In this regard, enterprises need to build six new capabilities: customer experience capabilities, intelligent operation capabilities, product innovation capabilities, organizational resilience capabilities, ecological collaboration capabilities, and data governance capabilities. The goal of digital transformation is the smart enterprise.
At present, there are five new trends in the digital transformation of enterprises, including: digital transformation is a two-wheel drive of "digital technology + business innovation"; digital transformation should adhere to the problem-oriented, do valuable transformation, and make moderate advance investment in the exploration of new technologies; group enterprise digital transformation, shared services first; unstable and uncertain environment, more need predictive operation, real-time perception, intelligent decision-making, data will become the basic and strategic resources of enterprise digital transformation The digital transformation of large enterprises attaches more importance to the construction of digital platforms.
In fact, in the domestic large enterprises or group enterprises are an important part of the national economy, throughout the national economy and people's livelihood in various important areas, but also in the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial change plays an important leading and promoting role, to some extent, large or group enterprises digital transformation practices and achievements, truly represent the development level of China's digital economy.
In this process, the digital platform, as the base of management innovation and business innovation of large enterprises, is the best way to build a platform enterprise, so the digital transformation of large enterprises should move from selecting applications to selecting platforms.
