The trend of "three modernizations" in the software industry with impressive growth rate is highlighted
In the first half of this year, China's software industry maintained a remarkable growth rate after nearly 20 years of high-speed growth. The trend of cloudification, platformization, and servitization in the software industry is becoming increasingly prominent. Software products and services are developing towards cloud computing, with mutual penetration and evolution towards a new system of integrated software platforms. The industry model is shifting from the traditional "product centric" to "service centric" approach——
According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China's software industry achieved a software business revenue of 328.36 billion yuan in the first half of this year, a year-on-year increase of 15%. After nearly 20 years of rapid growth, it still maintains an impressive growth rate.
It is worth noting that in the first half of the year, information technology services achieved a revenue of 1.9386 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 17.2%, accounting for 59% of the industry's total revenue. It can be seen that the software industry is showing a prominent trend of service-oriented development, and the industry model is shifting from the traditional "product centered" to "service centered".
The growth rate of cloud services is impressive
Managing grain no longer relies on reports, but directly controls real-time changes in on-site, field, and grain conditions through video cameras and grain condition sensors. Real time monitoring of grain inventory quantity, distribution, quality, and grain condition status shortens the cycle of monitoring grain conditions from 15 days to 3 days, and reduces total costs such as energy consumption and labor by 5%. This is the world's largest intelligent grain depot created by Inspur for China Grain Reserves, relying on technologies such as cloud computing and big data.
Data shows that in information technology services, cloud computing, big data services, and other technologies are experiencing significant growth. In the first half of the year, revenue from cloud services and big data services increased by 14.6% and 20.5% respectively, accounting for a total of 9% of information technology service revenue; The technology service revenue of e-commerce platforms increased by 22.6%, a year-on-year increase of 7.6 percentage points.
As stated by Wang Xingshan, CEO of Inspur Group, in the era of digital economy, the business models of enterprises and even industries have undergone three changes: from selling products to selling services, from product centric to customer-centric, and from single line offline to online offline integration to achieve real-time data services. At the same time, "platform+ecosystem" has become the mainstream model of the industry, and it has become a consensus for large enterprises to build platforms and small and medium-sized enterprises to go to cloud platforms.
The pace of cloud migration for Chinese enterprises has significantly accelerated. Previously, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Guidelines for Promoting Enterprise Cloud Implementation (2018-2020)", which proposed that by 2020, the proportion and depth of cloud adoption by industry enterprises will significantly increase, and cloud computing will be widely used in enterprise production, operation, and management. One million new cloud adoption enterprises will be added nationwide, forming more than 100 typical benchmark application cases, and a number of influential and dynamic cloud platforms and enterprise cloud experience centers will emerge.
From the perspective of international competition, the market share of cloud computing from China is constantly increasing. Although China started late in the field of cloud computing, its key technologies have developed rapidly, and some indicators have reached the international advanced level. According to statistics, in 2018, there were over 400000 new cloud based enterprises in China, and the cloud service related operating revenue of the top 100 software enterprises increased by over 90%.
The trend of cloudification, platformization, and servitization in the software industry is becoming increasingly prominent, "said Xie Shaofeng, Director of the Department of Information Technology and Software Services at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology." Software products and services are developing towards cloud computing, with mutual penetration and evolution towards a new system of integrated software platforms; The industrial model has shifted from the traditional "product centered" to "service centered".
New kinetic energy is flourishing
Today's Headlines recently announced the upgrade of its "Spirit Dog Anti vulgar Assistant" to detect the health of content. And what supports each upgrade is the tremendous progress of emerging technologies such as big data, speech recognition, and video recognition.
In the first half of the year, significant achievements were made in cultivating new driving forces in China's software industry. Big data, artificial intelligence development environment and framework, visual modeling tools and other new business types and models are increasingly abundant, the comprehensive competitiveness of Internet service enterprises is greatly improved, and the new momentum of the platform is constantly highlighted. Meanwhile, a large number of high growth enterprises have emerged in emerging fields such as cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, and blockchain.
Innovative achievements in the software industry continue to emerge. In the field of industry applications, some industries have relatively advanced software technology levels, such as communication software, electronic industry software, as well as application software in tax, aerospace and other fields. Great progress has been made in the field of platform software, especially in the Internet underlying software platform, such as Alibaba's distributed database system.
In the field of open source software, Chinese enterprises have made increasing contributions to global open source software technology innovation in recent years. Developer conferences, application innovation competitions, professional training, and other related open source projects continue to be hot. Innovative technologies and products have emerged in fields such as big data and artificial intelligence, and a positive interactive development model is gradually taking shape, "said Pu Songtao, a researcher at the Institute of Information Technology and Software Industry at CCID Think Tank.
In addition, in the field of office software, after years of investment and effort, breakthroughs have been achieved, such as Kingsoft WPS and Foxit software, which have maintained high-speed growth in user numbers. In terms of on-board operating system, Chinese Internet enterprises have actively laid out and formed some special products and applications, such as AliOS on-board operating system jointly developed by Alibaba and SAIC, which has been installed and used in more than 600000 vehicles.
At present, "software definition" is driving the rapid development of Internet, big data, artificial intelligence and other emerging fields. In the Internet field, the software defined network redefines the traditional network architecture and even the communication industry; In the field of big data, everything from data collection, data processing, analysis and mining, data storage, data visualization to data circulation is implemented on software defined platforms; In the field of artificial intelligence, deep learning algorithms, open-source frameworks, image recognition, speech recognition, and other technologies are all based on software defined platforms.
Software definition is becoming a new symbol and feature of information technology development, constantly giving birth to new manufacturing models and formats such as personalized customization, networked collaboration, and service-oriented manufacturing, driving the vigorous development of the digital economy, the expansion and upgrading of information consumption, and the accelerated arrival of a smart society, "said Xie Shaofeng.
