According to his analysis, Sun Pishu pointed out that the digital economy is advance wave upon wave, with digital industrialization and industry digitization as the two distinctive trend of the digital economy. In 2018, the scale of digital economy in China reached 31.3 trillion yuan, accounting for 34.8% of GDP. Although there is a certain gap between this proportion and that of the developed countries such as the United States (accounting for more than 50%), it can also be seen that China's digital industrialization is basically at the same level as that of developed countries. In addition, some digital industrial enterprises and unicorn companies such as BAT (Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent) and SenseTime have emerged in the market.
Sun Pishu pointed out that the gap between China's digital economy and that of developed countries lies mainly on industrial digitization. Gap means that there is a huge space for industry digitization to develop. In fact, the combination and penetration of digital technology and real economy industry is promoting not only the process of industrial digitization, but the high-quality development of real economy as well.
Sun Pishu gave an example that in the field of traditional manufacturing, intelligent manufacturing and industrial Internet have improved not only the manufacturing procedure, but also the whole process from R&D, the supply chain to marketing, sales and services. For instance, in the smart factory of Inspur Group, through the Service Platform of Health Big Data, the digital health care services can be directly provided for the consumer. In 2018, the Inspur Group was authorized by National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China, Shandong Provincial People’s Government and Ji'nan Municipal People's Government to launch the pilot project of health care big data industry. Through the combination of information technology and government data, the platform provided the service of Internet plus health care and other services, so it solves the problems of difficulty in seeing a doctor and the expensive medical treatment. It also promotes the the combination of medicine and nursing industry.
Sun Pishu pointed that the way to develop industry digitization is to use “cloud computing, big data and AI”. He stressed that “Cloud computing, big data, and Artificial Intelligence” are to industry digitization what “water, electricity，and gas” are to our human beings. Cloud computing is a new productivity, which helps to improve the computing power; big data is a new means of production and the digital benefits generated by using the big data resources will determine the development of digital industrialization; AI has become a new instrument of production, which, by efficiently mining the value of data, can enable every industry and provide power for the intelligent upgrading in various fields.
He continued that as a new type of Internet enterprise, Inspur Group has made successful exploration and practice in using the technology of “cloud computing + big data + AI”to drive the development of industry digitization. As the first company to define Government Cloud in China, Inspur Group is currently providing cloud computing services to more than 170 provincial and municipal governments and more than 1 million enterprises, holding the largest share of China's Government Cloud market for five consecutive years. In the public cloud market, the industrial Internet platform of Inspur Group, was selected as one of the Top 8 cross-industry and cross-disciplinary industrial Internet platform in China.
As a big data operator, Inspur Group actively promotes the development of government data from sharing and opening to authorized operation and application of innovations. It provides authorized operation services of government data for more than 100 provinces and cities in China. For example, iCity Network and Qualink are two examples of the new Internet APP designed by Inspur Group. They are the innovation achievements for authorizing enterprises to operate the government data.
AI has become the multiplier for digital transformation in all industries. Inspur Group takes up the most market share of AI computing in China, and it uses AI to establish a risk modeling, creates a digital financial platform to provide one stop financial services, solving the financing problems about loans of small and micro enterprises. Up to now, the one-stop financial service has provided more than 2.8 billion yuan for 11,000 small and micro enterprises.
For promoting the digitization of Hebei Province, Inspur Group has successively cooperated with Hebei Province and its specific cities, such as Shijiazhuang, Chengde, Langfang, Xingtai, Baoding and Zhangjiakou, to promote the development of cloud computing, big data, smart city and industrial Internet. The Group strives to build a new highland of digital economy in the economic core of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. In Zhangjiakou, the platform for exchanging and sharing of government information resources built by Inspur Group has effectively support the service system of “Zhangjiakou Cloud App”.
In the end, Sun Pishu said that Inspur Group is carrying out the innovation in technology and business model by focusing on cloud computing, big data and AI. This Group also committed to becoming a leading new Internet enterprise of “cloud computing + big data + AI”, and it will work with the partners within Internet Ecology to co-construct and share the development of digital economy.
