With the convening of the CVW2014 industry Internet Conference, the industry Internet has come into our field of vision. But on the one hand, the industry Internet contains too much content, on the other hand, the interpretation of many experts, it is difficult for us to form a unified concept. On the other hand, in the telecommunications sector dormant for many years of the letter, but also the use of industrial Internet this tuyere, in other industries to try more. With the industry Internet and many questions about the company, we interviewed Mr. Sean, vice president of Asia and the general manager of industrial Internet innovation base.

Characteristics of the Industrial Internet

Talking about the industry internet, Sean that it is still in the stage of development and change, so it is difficult to generalize it with a definition, but the industry internet still has some obvious characteristics.

"The industry Internet has four distinct characteristics," Sean said. The first is that internet thinking influences the change of traditional enterprises. An enterprise development of the source of social power, must be its thinking of the organization. Like an egg, if broken from the inside, it is born with a new life, experiencing a process of value re-creation. ”

Next, Sean that: "The second feature of the industrial Internet, is the Internet technology to improve the traditional enterprise energy efficiency upgrade; The third feature is the Internet data-assisted traditional enterprise operation decision-making; the fourth feature is the Internet platform to build the traditional business ecology. From these four characteristics of the industrial Internet, it is not difficult to understand how the Internet of industry is creating value, catering to the transformation of traditional enterprises, and helping traditional industries to build new business ecology. ”

Speaking of the changes brought about by the industry's Internet, Sean explains: "The fundamental reason for the industry to enter into people's lives is the combination of social, mobile, cloud computing and other High-tech applications." Human society has really begun to enter a digital age, regardless of individual or enterprise, must adapt to this change. The assets of individuals and businesses will be digitized. More and more enterprises will connect production and business activities together. When this ecological formation, both individuals and enterprises, will become the beneficiaries of this ecological contributor. ”

Sean: "In the face of this tide, traditional enterprises may be the biggest impact." Because the traditional enterprise's profit model is based on the information asymmetry pattern, in the past our economic value is the chain type, the conduction type, this decided the traditional enterprise's profit pattern is defends the information asymmetry obtains the benefit. And when we put the industrial Internet as a technology, tools, blood and the reorganization of traditional enterprises, this pattern of asymmetric information is broken. On the other hand, communicating the profit model of the enterprise is based on distance. If the traditional enterprise is aware of this, whether it can look at itself, actively to change the profit model. Conversely, if they are not actively seeking change, they may emerge from neighboring fields with a competitor to subvert them. ”

Taking the telecom industry as an example, Sean introduced the changes brought by the Internet of industrial industry in detail. "Today's smartphone has become an extension of what people perceive and has become part of the body," he said. Today's mobile phones also occupy the hands of people, but one day, wearable equipment will be able to solve people's hands. Wearable devices will one day replace the function of smartphones, people use natural language instead of finger operations. Mobile phones also carry a variety of living abilities including payments. This will force operators to face the change. Telecoms operators may be the biggest beneficiaries of change, and may also face enormous pressure. ”

Sean then explained: "When it comes to communication, people think of carriers." But today when it comes to communication and real-time sharing, we will find that there are many channels for it too. In the past, operators in the process of delivery, are end-to-end, it can build an independent ecological system. But today, their ecosystems, at different levels, have a corresponding replacement. The operator's ecological environment is being outlawed. Thus, in today's competition, no one is more than the volume, than the width, but to the vertical field than height. Operators are already looking at new ways of thinking about the role of the Internet in the industry. The future of the industrial Internet, is the Internet Plus telecommunications level of service to provide services to industry customers. Traditional consumers, because the internet is free, there is no requirement for QoS and SLAs. However, when enterprises access the Internet, the Internet and related service level, there is a relevant standard requirements. will generate payment in the preceding paragraph. Operators therefore have the profit space, the network and network data analysis ability to open to third-party partners. ”

The new mission of Asiainfo

In front of the industry internet tide, no individual and enterprise can do bureau appearance. In this change, what is the strategy of the Asian faith? On this issue, Sean talks about the new mission of the Asia letter.

He said: "The letter into the telecommunications industry 20 years, accumulated a lot of telecommunications-grade applications and products, with a very high level of service." Therefore, on the one hand, we must continue to deep into the telecommunications industry, on the other hand, to expand outside the telecommunications. ”

Continue to plough deep inside the telecom industry, Sean explained: "Telecom operators to respond to the tide of industrial Internet, has made its own adjustment, the network and network data analysis ability to open to Third-party partners, together to provide customers with better service and in this process, operators open a variety of service capabilities, In fact, the various weapons and ammunition provided by the letter. In the future, these weapons and ammunition will be opened to more customers in the industry through the transformation of operators ' operating models. ”

And in the telecommunications industry, Asiainfo is also building this ecological process, to find a more suitable for the asiainfo, at the same time for the industry benign development, eliminate information asymmetry, eliminate the distance of the designated as a platform operator. To this, Sean such as introduction said: "In this process, the letter to do a lot of work, but summed up, is an addition, a subtraction, a thinking." ”

Specifically, Sean said: "The so-called subtraction, is to go to the telecommunications, remove the telecom management process attributes, regional management attributes, because other industries will not like the telecommunications industry, such as headquarters, provinces, branches of the organizational structure to operate." To telecommunications, but also to retain the industry's core service capabilities, which is the most valued customers asiainfo place. The addition refers to the ability to open the platform, do value creation and build a sexual ecology. In this way, some proprietary properties of other industries will receive special support. This newly developed service support capability will also be superimposed on the original telecom service capabilities of the company. Adding new ideas refers to the idea of injecting internet thinking inside the letter. ”

In fact, although today, Yaxincai announced his response to the industrial Internet transformation, but as early as a year ago, the telecommunications industry, the letter has made its own expansion efforts. "In 2014, virtual operators became the most High-profile event in the telecommunications field," Sean said. And Asiainfo also use this opportunity, successfully for Suning, Ali, Di-Tong, Lenovo, Haier, red bean, gome and other 11 enterprises to provide advisory and IT system services. The ability to save in the telecommunications sector, to bring new industries and new customers, and has been recognized by customers. ”

Facing the industry Internet, no one can stand on the sidelines. Sean stressed: "The general direction of the industrial Internet has been accepted by more enterprises, and the mission of the Internet innovation base of the industry is to assume the role of the pioneer of 2.0 voyage in the internet era of industry, to be the leader of the global industry Internet." ”
