DX investment steadily increases, and enterprise operating systems are favored
Shawn Fitzgerald, Director of Global Digital Transformation Strategy Research, said: "Direct investment in Digital Transformation (DX) is growing at a compound annual growth rate of 17.5%. As companies develop into scaled future digital enterprises based on existing strategies and investments, it is expected to reach $7.4 trillion by 2020 to 2023. Organizations centered around new digital business models will be in a favorable position to compete successfully in the digital platform economy
In digital transformation investment, system construction is an important field, and how to convert real gold and silver into real digital efficiency is a topic that many CIOs, CEOs, and others are considering. Dr. An Xiaopeng, Vice President of Alibaba Research Institute, stated that the fundamental contradiction in current digital transformation is the contradiction between the demand for global optimization of enterprises and fragmented supply.
In the digital 2.0 era, business systems have become increasingly complex, and the gap between existing solutions based on traditional IT architecture and the complexity of business systems is widening. Enterprises need to build a new set of solutions. This is the new digital infrastructure constructed by the concepts of industrial Internet, industrial Internet of Things, cloud computing, edge computing, mobile terminal, middle platform, etc. Only in this way can we adapt to the complexity requirements of business systems, which is also the essential difference between Digital Transformation 1.0 and Digital Transformation 2.0.
In the past, we provided customers with hardware and software solutions. Today, we not only need hardware and software solutions, but also need to work with customers to create more value for their customers. Therefore, the entire architecture system is constantly migrating, from a technical architecture with numerous "chimneys" in the past that is difficult to respond quickly to customer needs to the present, based on cloud computing, edge computing, business platform The evolution process of various new management architectures on top of data centers and others is currently only beginning. In this context, digital operating systems for enterprises have emerged.
Intelligent OA will become a new entry point for digital operating systems
After Alibaba proposed becoming a commercial operating system and Tencent proposed building a digital transformation infrastructure, at the JDDiscovery JD Global Technology Explorer Conference, JD Digital Technology Group proposed for the first time the company's goal and positioning of building a "digital operating system". Some industry insiders exclaimed that "operating system" level services in the industrial internet field will become a new track for giants.
At present, it seems that the Alibaba system has taken the lead in terms of location, layout, and resources. Experts from the SOP Research Institute have stated that in the past decade, the information industry chain has subverted innovation, and software SaaS has become a major trend. From complex organizations to extreme flattening, from process driven to data driven, from internal management to ecological online, intelligent devices are ubiquitous, and the new management methods of the post-90s generation are moving towards the forefront... More advanced management values have been condensed into the new generation of commercial operating systems. Alibaba Cloud is the foundation of the new generation of commercial operating systems, and DingTalk is the entrance to the new generation of commercial operating systems.
As a mission level strategic partner and the only OA manufacturer invested by DingTalk, SOP continuously launches new digital office products led by intelligent OA and management platforms through comprehensive integration of products, markets, channels, culture, etc. Through digital chemical solutions in all industries and scenarios, it empowers the digital transformation of large, medium, and small enterprises.
Driven by DingTalk and SOP, intelligent OA will become the most important entry point for enterprise digital operating systems. ERP, electronic signatures, smart contracts, intelligent hardware, and other technologies will converge together to achieve intelligent collaboration and promote efficient collaboration among all employees. The brand new SOP intelligent OA inherits a simple and easy-to-use experience with nails, making it easy to get started without the need for training. Intelligent voice AI assistant, suitable for all nail smart hardware. Make smart office simpler than imagined! Application modules can be customized at will, with no constraints on additions, deletions, and adjustments. From entrepreneurship to going public, enterprise OA upgrading and adjustment, with ultra-high cost-effectiveness, allowing enterprises to have no financial pressure and not spend any more money unjustly!
The digital transformation of enterprises and the construction of digital operating systems will become standard configurations. As a new entry point, intelligent OA is the most core indicator to consider its performance. Backed by the fact of "10 million enterprise organizational nails", adhering to the best office practices of Fortune 500 enterprises, and sharing the SOP intelligent OA of Alibaba's intelligent office ecosystem, it is worth looking forward to
