Transform Beyond Borders to Lead the Innovation

If we look at what’s happening at the moment, the digitization of information is disrupting almost every aspect of our lives. The relation between the physical world and digital world is pretty ambiguous. In this brand-new world without borders, businesses that were disconnected are fitting together seamlessly and unleashing surprising synergies.

Different companies have different strategies to move forward when it comes to digital transformation, however, they may have the same goal: transform to a digital company and open the digital capabilities to empower adjacent industries. In a much more straightforward way: break the borders within the organization, and break the borders across industries.

But, how to transform beyond borders to make business more efficient? The fusion of new technologies and business models are fundamental to the empowerment of transformation, which are also the prerequisites for Whale Cloud to accelerate our own digital transformation so that we can better assist our customers along their journeys.

We’ve walked through an exhilarating year following the strategic partnership with Alibaba Group and the rebrand from ZTEsoft. On one hand, with the rebrand from ZTEsoft to Whale Cloud, we re-envision our strategies to be a Global Leader in Digital Transformation.

Meanwhile, the capital investment from Alibaba Group has changed our company nature from traditional software vendor to a new one with internet company gene that is more agile, customer-centric and innovative. This change enables Whale Cloud to better adapt to market requirements, flexibly respond to customer changes, moreover, overturn the traditional way of doing business and extend to innovative ones like new retail, mobile payment.

- We believe digital transformation is all about Efficiency Revolution, old and outdated business models will be replaced by the new ones to achieve higher efficiency. It is not about how advanced technology you will take, technonology is the cornerstone but successful business transformation is the objective to make the company much more competitive after the digital transformation. The success of tranformation is also depending on people and mindset: how much willingness you want to move out of today’s comfort zone?

The transformation journey will be long and sustainable, but it will happen inevitably, which means, the transformation will start within your organization sooner or later, but better from today, from now.
