Guan Shan can be crossed! IBM uses hybrid cloud and AI to diagnose and treat enterprises to go overseas for miscellaneous diseases

China Informatization Weekly: Yu Fan

Enterprises "going overseas" is a fashionable topic. The "volume" of the domestic market, the deepening of globalization and the dividends of market policies have made going overseas the trend and direction of the transformation and upgrading of Chinese enterprises.

IBM Large Ruan Ye, General Manager of the Cloud Computing Platform Division of the Chinese Region

He pointed out that at present, Chinese enterprises have changed from a simple combination model 20 years ago to expand overseas with high-tech and comprehensive capabilities.

As the competition of Chinese enterprises in overseas markets intensifies, and the layout of enterprises going overseas has gradually entered the deep water area, enterprises not only need to establish a unified digital solution to support their global decision-making and business development, but also security compliance, cultural differences, supply chain challenges, ecological collaboration and other issues have also become difficult problems for enterprises to go global.

In the face of the complex and ever-changing overseas market ecology, IBM, which has global infrastructure resources and hybrid multi-cloud and enterprise-level AI services, provides a set of end-to-end solutions for enterprises going overseas, including IT system construction, compliance compliance, supply chain ecology and other common and difficult problems when going overseas.

He said that globalization is an irreversible trend, and IBM has the ability to help enterprises adapt and overcome temporary obstacles and grasp the opportunities of global development by virtue of its technology, consulting and continuous innovation capabilities, as well as its own experience in global development.

Enterprises Where is the difficulty of going to sea?

With the in-depth development of globalization, Chinese enterprises have gradually changed from the "manufacturing and selling to the global model" to the "co-creation, co-construction, sharing and win-win model". According to Deloitte's survey, 55% of Chinese enterprises want to explore market expansion and growth opportunities through going global.

First, compliance and security. At present, geopolitical risks are on the rise, trust deficits between major countries have risen sharply, and security and compliance threats have become key risks for enterprises operating overseas.

Second, digitalization and informatization. The manufacturing industry is becoming the main force for enterprises to go overseas, but its digital and informatization development speed is slower than that of the financial industry and the circulation industry, and enterprises need to improve their digital capabilities to adapt to the needs of globalization. Overseas enterprises often have more Internet, production and office systems, and have high requirements for the latency of global access, and enterprises will face many challenges in building data centers overseas.

Third, supply chain management. Changes in the global trade pattern have led to more complex and diversified supply chain processes, such as time and space distance, language time difference, and hasty distribution, so that overseas enterprises cannot simply copy the domestic supply chain model, but need to support parts enterprises and suppliers to go out together to disperse business risks and complete the global layout.

In addition, cost control, cultural differences, product localization, brand positioning, etc., are also practical problems that enterprises are bound to face when going overseas. Based on global cloud computing resources, IBM focuses on the deep integration of AI into the digital transformation blueprint of enterprises, and provides end-to-end solutions for enterprises going overseas.

IBM's strategy focuses on hybrid cloud and AI, two technologies that are driving change, providing enterprise users with full-stack capabilities from top-level design to data and AI governance to the underlying architecture.

IBM's hybrid cloud platform, built on Red Hat OpenShift, provides an open technology platform that allows enterprises to use IBM capabilities while supporting integration with other cloud service providers to connect and integrate different systems and applications. At the same time, IBM's hybrid cloud solutions are highly flexible and scalable, allowing enterprises to deploy applications on any cloud, whether public, private or edge computing environments, ensuring that enterprises can flexibly respond to different business needs.

IBM Portable Automobile Car companies, creating a benchmark for the sea

In recent years, new energy vehicle companies are actively expanding overseas markets.

IBM China's science and technology affairs Xu Weijie, general manager of the automotive industry of the industry department, said

In the context of intensified competition in the industry, car companies need the support of more stable and flexible IT systems to support their global production, supply chain and sales business. At the same time, OEMs also need to address compliance and security challenges in overseas markets and implement effective local operations.

IBM helps automotive companies build IT architectures based on an open hybrid cloud platform, providing the watsonx data and AI platform to build and scale trusted AI tools and related consulting services to support their global business operations.

Taking an East China car company as an example, the car company chose to build a factory in Dallas, North America, and took advantage of the location of IBM's public cloud global headquarters to deploy non-core systems and peripheral systems on IBM Cloud to achieve a hybrid cloud architecture. Through IBM Cloud's cloud marketplace, car companies can flexibly and quickly obtain more than 300 different domestic and foreign products and SaaS services to support their business scenarios. After the car company builds factories overseas, the IBM team helps migrate data, conducts compliance checks, and provides long-term IT system operation and maintenance and outsourcing services. IBM has effectively integrated enterprise core applications and extended applications, simplifying and accelerating the globalization of its business.

At the same time, car companies have driven the coordinated supply chain of parts such as tires, bearings or chains to go overseas. For parts companies going overseas, whether it is to follow OEMs to go overseas or to deal with supply chain risks, upgrading to the digital level has become a must, such as the need for a unified digital solution to control the overseas business and support global decision-making; Enterprises need to be able to respond quickly to complex changes to build agile global collaboration. In the face of enterprises with a low degree of informatization, IBM will not only provide technical support, consulting services, etc., but also provide training services to help parts companies improve the digital skills of their employees, establish their own technical capabilities and innovation capabilities, so as to help car companies build an efficient supply chain system in overseas markets.

greet Fight for the future and work together for a win-win situation

According to iiMedia Consulting survey data, as of August 2023, 29.5% and 39.4% of large and medium-sized enterprises have implemented the strategy of going overseas, and 28.9% of small enterprises have plans to go overseas.

How to empower enterprises to go overseas with technology, IBM has formed a complete and effective solution.

Through the secure hybrid multi-cloud architecture, enterprises can flexibly deploy IT systems in different regions to achieve optimal allocation of resources and business continuity. Use AI and data analysis tools to help enterprises gain insight into market trends, enhance the competitiveness of products and services, and promote innovation and breakthroughs. Improve the operational efficiency of the enterprise with standardized intelligent processes; Leverage its global network to provide localized services to help companies understand and adapt to the needs of local markets and cultural differences; Help enterprises optimize the global supply chain and improve the transparency and anti-risk ability of the supply chain.

IBM uses its consulting and technology capabilities to help companies go more smoothly on the road to the sea.

IBM Large Ruan Ye, General Manager of the Cloud Computing Platform Division of the Chinese Region

He emphasized that IBM helps Chinese enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency, and it is necessary to make IBM a public cloud platform of choice. In the future, IBM will continue to leverage the advantages of hybrid cloud and AI technology and consulting services to empower enterprises to go overseas and improve their global layout. (ENDS)
