CeBIT Conference 2015, digital Economic concentration enterprise IT

ZDNet Network Channel March 16 compiled: CeBIT is the world's largest and most international consumer electronics, Information and communication Technology exposition, the past CeBIT Congress has attracted more than 800,000 users, and this CeBIT 2015 focus on "enterprise It" aspect, And this year's theme is the "digital economy", which also shows that the IT sector is convinced that the entire economy, whether industrial, commercial or other, will become a digital future.

CeBIT 2015: Digital Economy focuses on "enterprise It"

Digital technology makes today's industries, enterprises and our economy more competitive. Technologies such as robotics, cloud computing and 3D printing can help reduce enterprise costs and make businesses more competitive. However, the reality is not as perfect as we think, for example, the development of some industries is still relatively lagging behind, or need to explore other better ways.

At present, there are still many differences among the member countries in the industry, especially the High-tech industry, such as aerospace and architecture and other traditional industries have great differences. The new technology used by the former is much faster than the latter.

In addition, the investment gap between enterprises is also a major problem, large companies will generally invest in new technologies and processes, and the European industrial structure a large part of small and medium-sized enterprises, often in the digital revolution is left behind.

Technology opens the door

It is obvious that Asia is replacing the US as a new competitor in traditional markets, and is gradually exacerbating this trend. This could eventually affect many large industries in European industries, such as the automotive and transportation industries, and will soon permeate all products and related services. And European companies are increasingly reliant on suppliers from outside Europe, which also makes Europe more concerned about the competitive relationship and the impact of the market as a whole.

Today, Europe is accelerating in digital technology, and IT experts expect to have more than 500,000 digital tech talent vacancies this year. In particular, the demand for highly specialized skills is growing rapidly, such as large data analysis, network security and cloud computing in relatively new areas of science and technology. So the challenge for Europe now is to ensure that the workforce adapts to the new digital work environment. Therefore, education courses on digital technology must also be the focus of current training.

Moreover, current rules and laws are not suitable for the new industrial age, and existing rules and laws are creating unforeseen obstacles to digital operations. At the same time, the new digital business model under the shared economy is challenging traditional regulatory models and policies. Responsibility and privacy issues seem to have reached the point where they cannot be ignored, so policymakers will have to deal with these issues very carefully.

No Member State can have all the resources to resolve all relevant issues independently and to respond to all global challenges. That is why the EU's planned digital market must include the smart industry's development strategy in Europe. The CeBIT 2015 conference, held in Hanover, Germany, will give us more details on the issues involved.
