Tencent recently released a major adjustment to the organizational structure of the company, newly established cloud and smart industry business group, platform and content business group, and reduced the original seven business groups to six.
This is interpreted by the outside world as Tencent will pay more attention to business-oriented (to B) business such as Tencent Cloud; the consumer Internet industry is shifting to the industrial Internet, and the 'second half' of the Internet industry will compete or come.
Hu Yanping, founder of DCCI Internet Data Center, believes that the highlight of Tencent's adjustment is the promotion of technology-driven, technology strategy and technology in the status of Taiwan, which can promote the integration of Tencent's consumer Internet and industrial Internet.
'The consumer Internet is hundreds of millions of users, and the industrial Internet is a million enterprises. Combining the two and connecting them is not only to further provide users with the development trend of life, shopping, business and other services, but also to release the value of the industry Internet. The key. 'Hu Yanping said.
In fact, not only Tencent, in recent years, many Internet-related giants have adjusted their organizational structure to adapt to the changes of artificial intelligence (AI), big data (BIG DATA), and cloud computing (CLOUD). 'ABC' has become The fortress that today's Internet companies have to attack.
For example, Baidu adjusted its original organizational structure last year, and some businesses that were not related to artificial intelligence were marginalized. Xiaomi’s first organizational restructuring after the announcement of its listing in September this year will be four for the TV department and the eco-chain department. The business unit is reorganized into ten new business units.
Organizational adjustment also means adjustment of the development strategy. As of now, most of the relevant leaders of the Internet industry giant have expressed their willingness to work in the 'ABC' field.
Alibaba’s Ma Yun earlier compared cloud computing and big data to '21st Century Oil'; Xiaomi’s Lei Jun said in 2014 that he would invest $1 billion in cloud services; Jingdong launched public cloud services in 2016, and later claimed It is necessary to save 10 billion yuan to develop 'Jingdong Cloud'.
The Internet giant has similar changes. For example, one of the most important reasons why Amazon has become the world's most valuable e-commerce company is its excellent cloud computing services. Outside of Amazon, Google, Microsoft and other companies attach great importance to cloud computing and other capabilities. The development, AlphaGo developed by Google is best known.
Some analysts believe that the transformation of the giants is actually that the Internet will shift from a consumer Internet industry that focuses on shopping and socialization to a business-oriented Internet such as cloud computing. The Internet is about to enter the second half.
In fact, whether it is 'first half' or 'second half', whether it is consumer Internet or industrial Internet, it is undeniable that any Internet company in the current era should not ignore the industrial changes brought by 'ABC' and 'ABC'. The future competition will also be more intense.
