Clouds, intelligence, and the future

Despite the global economic downturn, new sources of global economic momentum are emerging. The Fourth Industrial Revolution – digitization, Internetization, and autonomous AI – is already underway.The integrated circuit is transitioning from silicon to graphene, 4G is underpinning mobile communications and the shift to 5G will happen soon, and the sharing economy based on mobile Internet is flourishing. 

WEF Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab asserts that the Fourth Industrial Revolution is far more profound than the previous three, because it’s fusing emerging technologies. This is blurring the boundary between the physical, digital, and biological worlds and transforming production, management, and governance systems in nearly every industry in every country. 

For enterprises, the acceleration of innovation and pace of disruption are difficult to comprehend, and are having a major impact on customer expectations, product optimization, collaborative innovation, and organizational structures.

Huawei’s Global Connectivity Index shows how a strong digital infrastructure is a major driver of strong economic growth.Huawei believes that all businesses are looking to become agile, smart, and digitized. To go digital, operators and enterprises will need to transform their IT systems from internal- and employee-facing to customer- and partner-facing systems that provide customers with a ROADS experience (Real-time, On-demand, All-online, DIY, Social). 

The full cloudification of networks, operations systems, and services are the most effective path to digitization. Under the theme Shape the Cloud, Huawei will hold the first Huawei Connect conference in Shanghai from August 31 to September 2. We will be welcoming more than 80 industry partners and 15,000 industry leaders to jointly shape the future of the cloud ecosystem, which requires the concerted efforts of all. Domains to be covered include cloud computing, big data, the Internet of Things, and SDN. 

Huawei Connect will accelerate digital transformation in nine verticals, including telecommunications, finance, transportation, power, government, and public utilities. Come and join us in the intelligent cloud of the future and let’s move one step closer to a Better Connected World.
