Preface

“ Digitization ” And “ Digital transformation ” These two words , In the last six months VC circle “ Hot ”. The last hot tuyere was “ Low code ”. Originally, vonsky was going to write Low code The past and this life , It turned out , Or am I slow , Did not catch up with the speed of the tuyere .

So nice , Let's just go down the slope , Also because Chang Lei is really investing “ Digital transformation of China's core industries ” This competition , Today's article .

“ Digitization ” And “ Digital transformation ” Is it the same thing ？

Everything , Let's start with the answer ： It's not the same thing ！

I believe many little friends , I've been troubled in this area for a long time .

Let's first look at how Wikipedia defines “ Digitization ” Of ：

In simple vernacular, it means ：

Put the original simulation 、 handmade 、 Handled by people , Let computers 、IT The system will do it , It's digital .

That's clear , In fact, digitalization is still a basic thing . It is a part of the informatization category we talked about before . Because the premise of realizing informatization ： You have to digitize first . So that we can IT application , Semi automated in a digital way 、 Automated processing .

Take up a ： Bank transfer in the past , Go to the counter and fill out the form , Half an hour before and after . Now mobile online banking App Turn around , This is digital ： No need to queue up 、 There are no more forms to fill out 、 Swipe the card at the counter 、 Look at your ID card 、 There is no password . The receipt also saves . This is digital + The benefits of informatization .

that , Digital transformation , What the hell is it ？

Digital transformation , It is preceded by three words of digitization , In terms of cause and effect , Digitalization brings “ Digital business ”, The digital transformation is not simply from “ Non digital ” To “ Digitization ” The process of , But focus on solving The business problem The angle of ：

With newer technology and technical means , To solve more problems “ The business problem ”！

therefore , In essence, the digital transformation is from “ Business needs ” Departure , Finally return to the solution “ The business problem ”. Of course, technology and means , It must be digital . Never sign on paper and excel Solve business problems .

Summary ：

Digitalization can be understood as not digitalized 、 Simulated 、 In kind 、 handmade , Digitized , Start your business first .

What about digital transformation , It is about business issues . With more powerful digitization 、 Means and cloud technology 、 Internet of things technology, etc , To solve it , Take care of it .

therefore , Now in China , Major reforms 、 Industry dividends , In fact, it focuses on ：

Digital transformation ！

Why digital transformation ？

Search online “ Digital transformation ”, In recent years, all kinds of information are in full swing , It's just a hot topic in this industry , here we are 2021 It was only in the second half of the year that it was introduced VC circle . Big white horse in October VC Released a digital annual guide .

Since then ,VC The circle is hot about this topic . So ,VC Industry hot spots and industry trend hot spots , There is still a lag .

Whether the topic is hot in the media or not , Digital transformation is of great necessity , Party a father , Why buy products for digital transformation ？ There are four important dimensions that can give answers ：

First, digital transformation is a systematic change triggered by information technology .

From the perspective of digital transformation , Involving strategic adjustment 、 Capacity building 、 Technological innovation 、 Management change 、 A series of transformation and innovation such as mode transformation , It is a complex system engineering .

Past enterprise collaboration , It's mechanization + automation +IT turn , It's good to be able to turn or island like . In essence, it is a process from manual to automatic .

And digital transformation , Is to automate + Promotion of information technology + Data based , Connect the three dimensions . Data and business integration . Business generates data , Data insights in turn guide the business .

Second, the fundamental task of digital transformation is to optimize the value system 、 Innovation and reconstruction .

Enterprise is a creation 、 Pass on 、 Organizations that support and capture value （ In fact, it is a money making organization ）, Every digital transformation activity should focus on value benefit （ Open source throttling ） an , The fundamental purpose of digital transformation is to promote the optimization of its value system 、 Innovation and reconstruction , Constantly create new value , Build new momentum . Simple point ： It's about improving efficiency , Better throttling , The process of making money faster .

The architecture, methods and mechanisms of digital transformation should always be based on value （ To save money ？ To make money ？） Oriented , Define new value propositions through periodicity , Enhance value creation 、 The ability to deliver value , Change the way of value acquisition , Innovation value support 、 Value guarantee support system , Stable transformation results .

Third, the core path of digital transformation is new capacity building .

The new capability in the era of digital economy is the ability of digital survival and development , Is to adapt to the rapidly changing environment , Deepen the application of the new generation of information technology , establish 、 promote 、 Integrate 、 Reconstruct the internal and external capabilities of the organization , Enabling business accelerates innovation and transformation , Build new advantages of competition and cooperation , Transform and enhance the traditional kinetic energy , Create new momentum , Constantly create new value , The ability to achieve new development . In the past, although the enterprise was operating , But it's the management black box , The system is not connected , The data is not available , A lot of manual processing , These will inevitably drag down the operational efficiency of the enterprise .

The historical system of many large-scale enterprises is a chimney , Set up for a part or department . And that leads to this , There is no link between the whole system 、 Synergy and the ability of the whole .

The process of digital transformation , A large part of the goal is to link all these systems . Summarize the generated data , Integrate data with the business .

Fourth, the key driving factor of digital transformation is data .

data It has also become a new medium of credit , Promote online exchange of data-based value through digital transformation , Digital organization can be improved ( Enterprises ) The ability to create value . Redefine the production mechanism with data science , Data will also become knowledge 、 New carriers of experience and skills , Promote knowledge sharing and skill empowerment based on data model through digital transformation , It can enhance the open cooperation and collaborative innovation ability of ecological organizations , Improve the comprehensive development potential of social resources .

Operation data of enterprise system , It is the real-time operation index of the enterprise .

Watch the indicators improve , Better than a headache , A reform plan to cure foot pain , The result is much better .

Who is the big seller of China's digital transformation ？

When it comes to government and enterprises , Many investors are a little resistant . Those involving the government or less market-oriented customer market , Just a little scared .

Actually , This market has always been Multinationals In the most important customer market in China .

Let's analyze China's B Mid-market , What kind of structure is it .

2020 year 1-12 Total operating income of national state-owned and state holding enterprises in June 632,867.7 One hundred million yuan , Among them, central enterprises 353,285.6 One hundred million yuan , Local state-owned enterprises 27,9582.1 One hundred million yuan .GDP yes 101.5986 Trillion yuan . The proportion of China's state-owned economy in the total national economy is 62.29%.

It seems that the total number of state-owned enterprises accounts for 60% A little more , But state-owned enterprises are very concentrated ： They are all big families ！

Central enterprises account for nearly one-third of the income , And the state-owned enterprise group has only 97 Home . State owned legal person enterprises are less than 25 ten thousand , Total number of national legal person companies 1.4 Billion .

explain 1% In state-owned economies , It has occupied the whole economic aggregate more than 60%. remainder 40% Private enterprises are scattered in China , from 1 Line to 18 The depth of a linear city .

Development SaaS Products are small and medium-sized enterprises （ They are basically private enterprises ） business , This is indeed a market , But only in a few segments , A strong need , There may be a large demand . But if it is not a strong demand , Low unit price , There are many and scattered customers , The final possible result ：

selling expenses > gross profit . The more you sell, the more you lose , The more you expand , The more you lose .

Words , Loss making enterprise , No matter how fast the income grows , stay A The listing of shares is also a great difficulty .

Let's take a look at the above obvious policy guidelines

The digital transformation of China's government and enterprises is an important historical opportunity in the next decade , It is not just the spontaneous drive of the industry , Still have strong Policy guided track bonus .

How to do digital transformation ？

This part of Sequoia report , Let me borrow it . You can actually see that . Many industries are called Non digital native industries . These industries were built around the physical world when they were created . Most enterprises , It was founded around production 、 circulation 、 The details of the service are carried out . There is a natural lack of software and data platform as the core Digital world portal .

The difference between these enterprises and digital native enterprises is very big . Therefore, it also faces great challenges in the digital transformation . If we don't transform , stream , move forward , or you 'll fall behind . It is bound to be gradually eliminated by the historical process .

Refer to excellent large companies , Is one of the best practices . So I came to Huawei to share with you .

2017 year ,5 Years ago , Huawei has put forward the goal of digital transformation .CIO Taojingwen said ：“ Realize fully connected intelligent Huawei , Become the industry benchmark ”.

Break down this sentence , It means ：

internal , Digitalization of various business areas 、 As a service , Open up cross domain information endpoints , Achieve leading industry operating efficiency . This sentence is clearly explained , The internal purpose of Huawei's digital transformation is to improve its internal operation efficiency . Internal efficiency is a way to reduce costs 、

foreign , Target five types of users （ Enterprises 、 consumer 、 staff 、 partners 、 supplier ）, make ROADS Experience , It's easier to do business with customers 、 Efficient 、 Security 、 Improve satisfaction .ROADS yes ： real time （Real-time）、 On demand （On-demand）、 All online （All-online）、 self-service （DIY） And socializing （Social）.

Huawei digital transformation blueprint

According to the above figure , In the end, you'll find out . Digital transformation , Is completely inseparable from data . The core landing scene is ： Around the data , Business transformation of enterprises .

Based on unified data management rules , Ensure the quality of the data source and the data entering the data lake , Form clean 、 complete 、 Consistent data Lake . This is the basis of Huawei's digital transformation .

Double driving of business and data , Establish connections between data . Leverage... For business and data know-how, The data can be used for external services , People who can use the data can use it with simple operation .

What do the above two paragraphs mean ？

Data into the lake , Just like the old Chinese medicine picking herbs in the mountains . Collect the medicine and put it in the medicine cabinet on one wall .

Second , Provide data & The dual drivers of business are , If you want to cure . Hundreds of herbs , Grasp at random , You can't cook it in disorder . You must have the skills and experience of traditional Chinese medicine （ Business and industry know-how）, Take the medicine （ data ） From the medicine cabinet （ Data Lake ） To remove , According to the experience of the old Chinese medicine, combine （ Fang Zi ）. Then you can give it to the patient （ Business data consumers ） Used .

The following is the concept comparison table ：

data = Herbs ;

Data Lake = Medicine cabinet ;

Industry experience = Old Chinese medicine ;

Data usage strategy = Fang Zi ;

Data consumers = In patients with ;

therefore , Play data , Engage in digital transformation , Not a simple IT Or technical problems .

What is the core of traditional Chinese medicine ？ It is experience and medical skill . pure IT personnel , Lack of industry experience , No matter how fast you pick herbs , It is no use .

Summary ：

Invest in digital transformation , You can't just look at technical capabilities or product performance , The core is to find The old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine .

Massive data really gathered , Internal and external data , Ensure safety compliance .（ It is equivalent to keeping the medicine well , Don't get wet ）

Business objects at night 、 Digitizing processes and rules , Improve the ability of automatic data collection , Reduce human intervention , Reduce manual entry .（ R & D and manufacturing robot dog , Automatically go up the mountain to collect herbs ）

Such an analogy , You basically know the relationship between the treatment of old Chinese medicine and my digital transformation .

Since the data and herbs have this natural similarity . Data governance is particularly critical . It is equivalent to if the management of drug collection and medication throughout the life cycle . Collect good medicine , The prescription is right , No problem with the frying , There must be curative effect .

Data will become the core competitiveness of enterprises in the future

The digital transformation has changed the way people view data . Numbers are no longer just an adjunct to business activities , Or a by-product of the application . Now it has become a strategic resource , It is to develop and provide new digital products and services 、 The foundation for establishing a new digital business model .

In the assets of the enterprise , Data has also become part of the capitalization . Even a single data asset should be included in the negative balance sheet .

therefore , The historical data of the enterprise 、 Real time data , Converging into a lake 、 Building metadata , Re standardization , And then apply it , It is enterprises that enhance the value of digital assets . In fact, the whole company and the ecosystem are full of “ nerve ”.

Automated acquisition & Use enterprise data , It will rebuild the core competitiveness of the enterprise at the next level .
