As the cloud is hot, CIOs are looking forward to a real "cloud" of their businesses, but there is still a way to go in the current development trend. However, the company's own cloud information technology is gradually landing, and in the enterprise has been very good application. We invited the Golden Hill Software and information Technology Director Mr. Wan Yong, as the chief leader of Kingsoft Software informatization, to talk about the informatization distance and future development direction of Jinshan.
Jinshan Software Information Technology Director Wan Yong
Cloud computing has been widely used in life
IT Business News Network: Cloud computing is a very hot word, how do you understand why cloud computing is so hot?
Wan Yong: Cloud computing is definitely hot, as if anyone is not in the clouds and is outdated. I think as an enterprise informatization of the actual trader, still have to look at this problem calmly. Cloud computing is certainly the future direction, but it is more in the network architecture, rather than simple products. In practice, it will be implemented from some local areas, such as cloud antivirus or cloud payment, and so on. A few years ago, everyone was talking about web2.0, and now we're not talking about it, because it's done. Many years ago the internet is the same, there are many people talking about, and now do not talk about it, because it has already been achieved. Cloud computing also has a process that is now being talked about because it has not yet been implemented. Cloud computing can be regarded as internet2.0, it is bigger than web2.0 scope, the influence is more profound. Internet2.0 may be called cloudnet, and more sophisticated applications can be implemented over the Internet, making the Web a work-life tool.
The feeling of the internet is a kind of cloud feeling, you want to visit to be able to visit, this is its one advantage. We have a wide range of access to the Internet, but not particularly wide. I've come up with a few examples of the application of cloud computing, but people may not feel that. For example, mobile users and Unicom users to send text messages without any obstacles, but many years ago this can not be done, now there is no problem, this is an example of cloud computing. It does not require the user to care about how it is implemented, just use it. For example, UnionPay is also considered the application of cloud computing, you go to different ATMs across the line to get money is OK, many years ago is not the case, now you do not need to consider the cross-row can be taken, which is technically not a problem.
Why are some big it vendors pushing cloud computing this time? Because there are too many information technology applications have not yet reached this level. For example, the important enterprise application of ERP and OA (or BPM), which is the core management system of many enterprises, I believe that many years after the application of the cloud will be achieved, but now obviously not. Today's ERP is a local application, not a cloud application. After a few years to reach the application of cloud, each enterprise does not need to implement ERP, it only needs to open an ERP account on the line, enterprises do not need to implement OA system, to open the Cloud OA account can be used, and such a cloud of ERP and cloud OA is fully inherited application, or said that the data unified, unified operation, Interface unification, may even have the relevant GB. What we now call SaaS usage will become the basic application of the web in the future, just as we are now using net silver. If the ERP class enterprise application software really becomes the cloud computing words is very convenient, but the difficulty is very big. For example, the application of mobile communication and bank account is very simple in logic, but it is very difficult for products like ERP to become cloud. This thing requires a very large IT infrastructure and architecture, cloud computing has a cloud of servers, cloud computing centers, information Centers, Communications Center, Network Center, these are the core of cloud computing, but also large it vendors to compete for the target, people, goods, companies and other basic data also need the country to unify the master data management. Now in addition to antivirus and office this piece has a relatively shaped cloud computing, the real cloud computing information has a long way to go. When they advertise and build better, we can spend money. Building things to let them do, we wait for them to do it.
In my opinion, cloud computing is more attractive to small and medium-sized enterprises, it can do more things with small cost, so it can be used preferentially. Moreover, cloud computing and the Internet of things are inseparable, and the foundation of the Internet of things can collect more real-time information. So, I think mobile applications, cloud computing, Internet of Things will be integrated together.
To build "cloud information" in a simple way
IT Business News Network: Jinshan now has the need to mount cloud computing? Do you have any ideas about Justin's own information construction?
Wan Yong: For the public cloud computing we are currently in the state of observation and partial trial. There is no cloud computing when everyone is doing informatization. Cloud computing is divided into public and private clouds, and I think the private cloud is very meaningful to us. In Jinshan, I call it "cloud information". At this stage, we cannot count on the resources of the cloud of society as a whole. As the builders of Enterprise informatization, we can and should build their own cloud within the enterprise, it can be said that "the integration of information." Enterprises to do a long time, the information island is very many, similar information dispersed in different systems, this information is inconsistent, we have the responsibility within the enterprise to unify it. Once the information is unified, each system and personnel can go to fetch, crawl information is accurate and unique. In the internal operation of the enterprise, the accuracy and the only information is very important, of course, it is difficult to guarantee it. Enterprise information is composed of various data, ERP has financial data, CRM has sales orders and so on. As an enterprise informatization, find ways to unify them, ensure the accuracy and uniqueness of data, then set the right permissions, people need to be in a simple way to use when needed, which is the "cloud information" inside the enterprise.
"King Kong" ERP system has a significant effect
IT Business News Network: You participated in the 08 in the "King Kong" name of the ERP system, has been running for more than 3 years, the running process brought about what effect?
Wan Yong: This project I am the main catalyst, the effect is very obvious. We are the only company in the Internet enterprise that chooses SAP ERP system. We inspected a lot of companies in the same industry, we are not using SAP, but we found that they use is not too good, there are many problems, or played a lot of patches, or with the stumbling. We use this effect is very good, by SAP selected as success stories publicity, they call success story. The effect is to manage the company's core business, including finance, human resources and supply chain, financial results in a timely and accurate, we are basically about 3rd per month on the checkout, wage accounting accuracy and so on, formed a very effective and stable management base, can rely on, change little, not trouble.
IT Business News Network: What was the basis for considering using SAP? SAP is said to be very standard, but it costs a lot to maintain.
Wan Yong: Maintenance cost is not high, it is very standard, application function development is also very flexible, especially in-depth development, and now have not found that want to do and do not, and SAP do interface we developed a lot of things, such as check wages, financial reimbursement, build master data, query reports and so on. SAP has a problem is more expensive, of course, this is compared with domestic products, and foreign products than the price difference is actually not very big. SAP is a very professional system, not very good grasp, now many employees use SAP will bypass the interface of SAP, such as through OA to enter, this is easier to use, SAP is not opposed to this.
