Based on the advantages of AsiaInfo’s To B business, focus on fields such as 5G, industrial digitization, industrial Internet of Things, and information innovation
to contribute to the construction of Digital Guangxi and Smart Guangxi
BGI Information Innovation Group is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guangxi Beibu Gulf Investment Group Co., Ltd. Based in Guangxi, its business spans across the country, and develops the market of ASEAN. Guided by information innovation technology, it focuses on smart transportation, smart cities, smart ports and new infrastructure to provide consulting and planning, software development, system integration, investment incubation and other services. As a backbone enterprise that promotes the digital transformation of Guangxi Province, BGI Information Innovation Group makes great efforts to seize new opportunities, implement the decision and deployment of the autonomous region to build “Digital Guangxi”, and carry out innovative practices of the national strategy to serve “China-ASEAN Information Port”. As a leading service provider of software products, solutions and relevant services in China, AsiaInfo is committed to being “the enabler of digital transformation of large enterprises by providing industrial transformation to industrial customers in communications, finance, energy, transportation, postal service, broadcasting, and government affairs based on its “carrier-grade” products, services, operations and integration capabilities.
Gao Nianshu said that AsiaInfo has nearly 30 years of service experience in large enterprises and government agencies, which has forged a business and project team that “can face challenges”, and developed a To B business team good at “excellent products, strong services, and skilled operations”, and this strategic cooperation was expected to be an opportunity to contribute more efforts to the construction and development of “Digital Guangxi”.
Zheng Mingde stated that Guangxi is an important gateway to the “Belt and Road”, and is shouldering the important development task of the China-ASEAN international channel and the new strategic pivot of the Southwest, Central and South regions in China. As the party committee and government of Guangxi Autonomous Region place great hopes on the high-quality development of Guangxi’s digital economy, this cooperation is a pragmatic choice made by BGI Information Innovation Group with a view to the future and the whole country. He believed that “AsiaInfo is a trustworthy partner, and this strategic cooperation has opened a new chapter in the construction of ‘Digital Guangxi, Smart Guangxi’."
Attach equal importance to technology, service and investment
to promote the development of smart industries and digital operation practices in the Beibu Gulf region
According to the agreement, AsiaInfo will not only provide technologies, products, and services to support the development of Guangxi’s smart industry, but establish a joint venture with BGI Information Innovation Group to implement digital operation practice in the Beibu Gulf region in accordance with Guangxi’s 5G construction, economic and social environment, and basic conditions of industry.
The tide of digitalization should be innovation-based. DSaaS Digital Operation is innovation-based strategic capability vigorously developed by AsiaInfo for the new background of “Internet of Intelligence” and the needs of refined management of governments and enterprises. It is based on the model of “solutions + scenario-based SaaS applications + operation platforms + expert services” to provide comprehensive data mining, analysis, management, and application services for various industries to help companies reduce costs and increase efficiency, explore and form new value growth points. AsiaInfo has also accumulated mature technologies, products and solutions in the fields of 5G and 5G private networks, smart transportation, industrial Internet of Things, and information innovation.
Guangxi works for “digital industrialization” and “industrial digitalization” with its own characteristics. As an important pilot province for national strategies such as “country with strong transportation network”, Guangxi needs to have its eyes on the future and take solid steps for the present, while promoting the local development of 5G construction and the development of vertical fields such as transportation and ports. AsiaInfo’s “digital operations” services and vertical industry-oriented full-element solutions are effective ways to conform to the development trend of the “digital intelligence era” and to drive industry development and create value-added potential through 5G networks, big data and other elements. BGI Information Innovation Group has unique advantages in promoting the development of vertical industries, information innovation and other fields in Guangxi, and AsiaInfo can provide firm support in technologies, products, solutions, and business teams. Therefore, there is a high complementarity for cooperation between the two parties, which is more helpful to attract resources from their respective “circle of friends”, so as to jointly promote the transformation and development of Beibu Gulf and even the whole Guangxi Province.
