Apsara conference 2022 officially opened. The Apsara conference 2022, which has been held for many years, has become a gluttonous event for the domestic technology industry to showcase cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements and industry elites to exchange cutting-edge scientific and technological ideas. The theme of this year's conference is "Frontier, Exploration, Imagination", including 100+ frontier technology forums, 450+ top domestic and foreign scientific research institutions and digital and intelligent industry manufacturers gathered, in the 40,000-square-meter "Apsara conference 2022 Digital Valley", various fields The experts from the conference jointly created new ideas in the digital age. Everyone explained their views on the entire digital world and their understanding of future digital technology from different perspectives and various scientific and technological practices.

Following the main forum in the morning, Zhang Jianfeng, president of Alibaba Cloud Intelligence, released the self-developed 5nm CPU chip "Yitian 710" to further promote Alibaba Cloud's strategy of "deepening the foundation". Pound released a business middle-end product, BizWorks, which can be seen as another new move of Alibaba Cloud following the “integration of cloud and nails” in the strategy of “making a thick middle-end platform”.

"Build a deep foundation, build a strong platform, strengthen the ecosystem, and do a good job in service" is Alibaba Cloud's new strategic thinking about the future, which was first released by Zhang Jianfeng, president of Alibaba Cloud Intelligence, at the Alibaba Cloud Summit in May this year Apsara conference 2022.

According to the introduction of BizWorks on Alibaba Cloud's official website, BizWorks is a digital transformation workbench that helps customers build and operate enterprise-level business middle-end with high efficiency and high quality. BizWorks is an integrated digital platform for R&D and operation based on Alibaba's years of practice in China and Taiwan. The products mainly include a business modeling platform, an integrated application construction and operation platform, a business test and exercise platform, and a business operation and governance platform. The product capabilities provided by BizWorks are generally suitable for medium and large-scale enterprises/organizations to build a business middle office and expect to achieve continuous governance of the middle office IT assets Apsara conference 2022.

According to Xie Chunliang's introduction at the meeting, some of the tools provided by BizWorks have played a huge role in the delivery of more than 200 business middle-end projects in which Alibaba Cloud has been deeply involved in the past few years. According to previous project delivery and benchmarking projects According to the statistics of the case, the efficiency of building and delivering middle-office projects based on BizWorks has doubled, and the continuous operation capability of the business middle-office has been effectively improved Apsara conference 2022.

Apsara conference 2022 China-Taiwan strategy was first proposed internally by Alibaba in 2015. It aims to build a more innovative and flexible business and enterprise structure innovation mechanism of "big, middle-stage and small front-end" in line with the DT era. Innovative organizational management model Apsara conference 2022.

Apsara conference 2022 first contact and perception of the concept of Zhongtai by the outside world was the new book "The Way of Enterprise IT Architecture Transformation - Alibaba Zhongtai Strategic Thought and Architecture Practice" by Zhong Hua (Hua Ming Guqian), who was the chief architect of Alibaba's middleware at the time. "For the first time, the book introduces the shared service center business that supports Alibaba's implementation of the China-Taiwan strategy and the new enterprise architecture model that adopts a distributed service-oriented technology architecture Apsara conference 2022.

Apsara conference 2022 concept of China-Taiwan and the new enterprise architecture model proposed by Ali effectively solve the data silos caused by the traditional enterprise architecture, the internal chimneys are numerous, the waste caused by the repeated construction of enterprise information systems, and the inefficiency of enterprise operations. It solves the problem of poor scalability and maintainability caused by the centralized monolithic architecture through the distributed service-oriented technical architecture model, which leads to the huge pain point that the traditional technical architecture cannot support the business development in the new business environment.

These pain points may not have been so painful in the past, but the surging digital age has generally magnified such pain points. In the digital age, digital technology almost needs to be placed as the primary production factor for enterprises. The traditional enterprise architecture has not only been unable to support the development of the digital age, but has also been in a state of holding back business development. Compared with digital native enterprises, traditional enterprises urgently need new enterprise architecture methodologies and new engineering methods that can be implemented in digital transformation.

These major industry problems led to the proposal of Alibaba's Zhongtai architecture concept, which quickly generated a huge response in various industries in the society. Different roles in the IT industry chain began to try to understand, explore and try to build a digital middle office suitable for the industry from their own perspectives, which gave birth to the entire digital middle office industry.

Citing information from some business reports, once China's digital middle-end market was put forward, its growth momentum was very obvious, and the industry scale expanded rapidly. In 2018, the scale of China's digital middle-end market was 2.22 billion yuan. By 2020, the total market size of the middle-end market has grown to 9.01 billion yuan. It is expected to maintain a compound annual growth rate of 60% in the next five years. A scale of nearly one hundred billion.

In the past two years, the business scale and financing scale of the software suppliers who have invested in the industry's early stage mid-stage solution exploration have been increasing. The breadth and degree of excavation, the maturity of Zhongtai project management, the systematization and standardization of Zhongtai project construction methodology, and the actual landing efficiency and success rate of Zhongtai projects have all been greatly improved.

A group of companies with strategic foresight and strategic determination that insisted on investing in China-Taiwan strategic construction in the early stage have really begun to reap huge rewards from China-Taiwan. According to some business reports on digital transformation, these enterprises have obvious advantages in business innovation and operational efficiency, the organization's digital connectivity capabilities, and the speed of construction and commissioning of new applications. digital support value.

A few years ago, Ali released the data middle platform DataWorks platform product, which aroused the upsurge of data middle platform construction in the industry, but the technical platforms and tools used to build the business middle platform were not released together, resulting in the subsequent industry in " The digital transformation of all business data, all data business" has been in a "lame duck" state in practice. Unfortunately, the precipitation and analysis of all business data must eventually feed back and serve the core business of the enterprise. Only through the integration of data and algorithm capabilities into the existing business processes and business scenarios of the enterprise through the business platform can the final closed loop of digital value be formed Apsara conference 2022.

Compared with the data assets of the data center, the construction of the business center involves the ever-changing business scenarios, the huge differences in business scenarios in various industries, and the technical challenges of online OLTP digital business systems compared to analytical OLAP systems. The nature of the business determines that the exploration and creation of the tool platform in the business center is more challenging.

In the past 6 years, the industry's understanding of the construction of business middle-end solutions itself, as well as the understanding of the supporting products, technologies and tools in the process of implementation, have also greatly improved and accumulated a lot of precipitation. The development of the business middle platform has once again reached a critical point. The BizWorks released by Alibaba Cloud this time is the performance of this critical breakthrough Apsara conference 2022.

In this sense, the release of BizWorks is undoubtedly the prelude to the development of China and Taiwan into the next more in-depth stage! A real prelude to the efficient and high-quality construction of a double mid-stage with the support of tools!
