Chinasoft International (CSI) has been launching cloud services since 2013. It provides technical services and solutions for customers in Asia Pacific and North America, and has extensive talent reserves and experience in the cloud field. On July 17, 2017, CSI signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Huawei to become the first "Sailing on Same Boat" partner of HUAWEI CLOUD. CSI also won Huawei's "Best Cloud Ecosystem Partner" and "Huawei Software Joint Innovation Award" in 2017. Both parties cooperate in DevCloud, industry-specific solutions, and cloud services for HUAWEI CLOUD to expand the public cloud market and help customers achieve digital transformation.
HUAWEI CLOUD "Sailing on Same Boat" Partner Signing Ceremony
Building a "1+1+N" Partnership
As a leading cloud service brand, HUAWEI CLOUD is committed to bridging the present to the future for enterprises by providing customers with reliable and secure cloud services capable of sustainable evolution. CSI holds a leading role in software globalization and information technology (IT) and provides full-chain IT services. As HUAWEI CLOUD's first "Sailing on Same Boat" partner, CSI, together with Huawei, has extensively explored DevCloud and industry-specific solutions to help customers employ innovative cloud services and solutions and implement digital transformation.
Dr. Chen Yuhong, board chairman and CEO of CSI proposed the "1+1+N" cooperation model. The first "1" stands for Huawei, and the second "1" stands for CSI. Together, Huawei and CSI will then work with "N", which stands for more cloud partners that can contribute to the cloud ecosystem.
The prosperity of this ecosystem represents the fruits of this joint labor. Huawei chose CSI, a company with profound IT outsourcing experience, to help HUAWEI CLOUD expand its cloud ecosystem and increase customer benefits. CSI partnered with Huawei to drive cloud transformation of ecosystem partners and build a more beneficial ecosystem.
Creating a Prosperous Cloud Ecosystem Together
CSI and Huawei have focused on the fields of software and manufacturing and rolled out joint solutions such as Cloud Software Park, Smart Manufacturing Cloud, Industrial Diagnostic Cloud, and Training Cloud in many cities, industrial parks, and universities across China.
Cloud Software Park
Huawei and CSI believe that public cloud platforms are best suited to addressing software companies' requirements. Cloud Software Park is a solution that gets many small- and medium-sized companies on to the cloud. Based on HUAWEI CLOUD and CSI's solid foundation in the field of software, Cloud Software Park provides full-lifecycle software development, online industrial parks, software capability profiles, online software stores, and other services for industrial parks and companies. In addition, Huawei and CSI established the "Chinasoft-Huawei Cloud Innovation Center" in Nanjing Software Valley.
The Center relies on Huawei DevCloud and CSI JointForce to provide diversified cloud services to governments, companies, and developers. It aims to drive interconnection and innovation of key industries, aid development of the local Internet economy, form an independent and trusted innovation system, and build a "1+1+N" ecosystem for software services and operations.
Since its establishment, the Center has quickly inspired many software companies to employ innovative cloud platforms and move their software development to the cloud. Nearly 500 companies showed interest in cloud cooperation during the Center's first three months, and the cloud concept has spread widely across the Nanjing Software Valley.
Smart Manufacturing Cloud, Industrial Diagnostic Cloud, and Training Cloud
Smart Manufacturing Cloud and Industrial Diagnostic Cloud are two solutions created through the integration of Huawei's manufacturing experience and CSI's manufacturing informatization capabilities. Smart Manufacturing Cloud shares CSI and Huawei's expertise in system design, simulation, and lean manufacturing and management. Industrial Diagnostic Cloud functions as the entrance check and diagnostic tool for Smart Manufacturing Cloud. It helps manufacturers diagnose issues covering balancing resources and industry blockchain and pushes transition from cost-oriented to profit-oriented economy. At this time, Huawei and CSI have already set up China's first smart manufacturing demonstration park in Kunshan. The park has implemented Smart Manufacturing Cloud to assist many industries and companies in their "smart manufacturing" transformation.

Huawei and CSI also released the Huawei-Chinasoft Training Cloud solution to address software development training problems found in universities. Specifically, this Training Cloud provides software development students with enterprise-level courses and project cases. Based on the Huawei DevCloud and Big Data Smart Teaching platforms, this applied teaching content and the authentic environment help universities cultivate innovative and practical talents for the ICT industry. Huawei-Chinasoft Training Cloud will deepen collaboration between universities and enterprises and achieve a win-win for "new economy" and "new engineering". Based on Huawei DevCloud and CSI JointForce, Huawei-Chinasoft Training Cloud will employ new methods, both online and offline, to streamline the software development training process through enabling, practice, and modeling.
Huawei and CSI are planning to release more joint solutions based on HUAWEI CLOUD. In the future, Huawei and CSI will focus on fields including government, energy, finance, transportation, electricity, education, and e-commerce to build solutions that meet customer requirements.
Drawing a Cloud 2.0 Blueprint
In the Cloud 2.0 era, large- and medium-sized companies will become important participants of the cloud. These companies are in urgent need of innovative and differentiated cloud services. In particular, they need convenient migration for existing applications, fast and flexible development for new applications, and full-chain services covering solution consulting, design, verification, and implementation. Challenges will also continue to emerge in the new digital era's cloud ecosystem.
Today, a digital transformation revolution is approaching. The cooperation between CSI and Huawei will expand and deepen to explore more cloud market opportunities, like building a one-stop enterprise cloud platform, continuing to innovate differentiated cloud services and cloud solutions, and advancing the intelligent system construction. The business landscape will be expanded in the digital industry era.
When facing the coming digital flood, CSI and Huawei are in the same boat, and will work together to create a prosperous cloud ecosystem and cloud market.
