Computer World Reporter: Xu Ping Beijing's Nancheng basically has no high-end office building, and the golden city center on the side of the South Third Ring is the most like. One day in April 2004, several middle-aged men of several suitves came out from a company on the 10th floor of this building. They communicate with each other in English, which is very excited. They are the people of the International Famous Risk Investment Agency, three of which are vice presidents. This is already the fourth visit to this year's visit to the company. Warden International is very cautious about China's investment in software companies. Interest to thinking is completely listed from a software listed company in Hong Kong. This company is a product related to development tools, and their CTO is very highly respected to the speed of thinking accelerated, and has repeatedly recommended to Wetaden International. In fact, Huaden International's software market in the Mainland is not familiar. The original intention of their visit to thinking is just to confirm that a fact that the Chinese market is really a system platform software strategic company? From the investment trends of these years, international venture capital is very interested in China's software companies. In their view, companies that do applicants in the end of the industrial chain may only be small in the local market, and Easy to be controlled by foreign manufacturers in the upstream, limited development space. So Huaden International's inspection of thinking acceleration has always concentrated in two aspects: whether it is a platform software that is independent intellectual property, and the other is to go to internationalization and have been applied to a large scale. Many people don't know how to speed up this company. Before 2003, the company's media exposure rate was almost zero. Until 2003, Internet Labs and Biography Information issued the "Business Basic Platform Research" and "China" Report of Software Platform Development Strategic Research. The analyst of the Bathing Information In their report, the upper application software and the underlying technical architecture platform will generate a business infrastructure platform. The appearance of this new level is a huge problem for solving the current troubleshooting management software. breakthrough. This report got the echo of traditional management software vendors and claimed to push the corresponding platform. However, only the reporters subsequent interviews have only been found in the domestic business infrastructure platform development, sales, and successful applications, only thinking acceleration. Interestingly, in the report of the report, there are some companies specializing in similar platform development and sales, although they are not the same in growth background, technical concept, business model, but these companies have naturally The formation of a new ethnic group, and they gave the impact of the traditional industrial chain increasingly appeared. The founding of the "Tu Wolf" thinking accelerated thinking acceleration is one of the most famous Chinese operating system UCDOS developers. As early as 1998, the domestic management software has just happened, and he hopes that the Group's deputy-chief of the group is recognized that the management software development environment based on corporate business orientation is probably the direction of the future platform. After optimistic about this direction, Mark and several friends have set up super blue software, starting to invest platform research and development. Due to at least 5 years of research and development cycle, it is superflaw to enter the procuratorate industry software market to raise the platform. At the end of 1999, a large venture investment entered the super blue company, but did not look at Mako's platform plan, think it's too superior. In order to continuing his own platform dream, Marco has replaced the ownership of the super blue existing platform technology with a shareholding of the super blue, and the body has a full-blue. In May 2000, Marco himself set up a thinking acceleration and continuing business infrastructure platform in Beijing. In August of the same year, thinking accelerated the first prototype product business business structure platform for business architecture platform, and cooperated with the first partner - Kuns information, based on the Business Platform to architecture Red River Cigarette Factory Information System.
In the market environment at the time, thinking accelerates such a small company to promote the "business infrastructure platform" such a milestone product, difficult to know, but thinking accelerates through a round of hardships but have a fruitful fight, put business The banner of the platform inserts hundreds of users in 20 industries and establishes partnerships with more than 200 industry ISV and SI. In September last year, thinking accelerates the 3.0 version of the Business platform. Previously, the first letter president Wang Xu was watching the test version, "If no one tells me, I will think that this is Microsoft product." Thinking acceleration Further expanding its strength of the R & D team, the will continue to remain in the 2 years of product advantages. The ideal of thinking acceleration is to do "Huawei". Huawei is being called "Tu Wolf", they are the same companies in the local market, and more important similarities are, thinking acceleration is not willing to do the application of industrial chain, but to the upstream of the industry chain Squeeze, compete with international manufacturers. The re-entry of the symbolic figure Liu Yadong and Wang Zhidong are the symbolic characters in China IT market. As the founder of Aixin and Sina, this honor and the wealth that will have been enough for them to enjoy, but they all choose the same choice Business infrastructure platform as an opportunity to start again. After leaving Asia, Liu Yadong invests two corn processing plants in Shandong. Despite this, he still pays close attention to the IT circle. It has also been invested in a supply chain software company, but it will be closed soon. "I am waiting for a real opportunity." April 2001, Liu Yadong recruited A very luxurious team has established Puyuan in Shanghai. There is a Huang Liuqing, who is studying with Dr. Maryland at the University of Maryland, and his vice president, CTO, and Yang Yong, deputy general manager of the original BEA (China). Yang Yong. People who are familiar with the Chinese software market know that in 2001, the strongest management software in the Chinese market was CRM. The establishment of Puyuan is to do CRM for finance, telecommunications industry. But this time Puyuan is a "CRM that can be changed quickly", that is, the entire application system is on a core platform, which makes the entire software not only develop speed, but also easy to modify. At the beginning of the company, two R & D teams were set up in parallel, one to do applications, and another support platform for components, which is their later platform product EOS. Two years, Puyuan found that the platform is their most competitive thing. "Any large-scale software is in harmony with the market." At the end of 2003, Puyuan cut all the entire application department and concentrated on a component-oriented application software platform provider. Unlike Pu's half-way home, Wang Zhidong's collaborative software platform is over more than 3 months, combining the choice of human horses in the investment community, software and users. After June 2001, after Sina, Wang Zhidong, what is the third business of Wang Zhidong, becoming the industry's greatest suspense. This is not only the choice of Wang Zhidong's personal choice, but also on "China's software industry has no new opportunity" this proposition. As the star character of the software circle, each of Wang Zhidong is a prednimation of a trend. After the Chinese Star, Sina, this time I chose Wang Zhidong gave himself a 'top of the original' principle, "'Top" is to do trendy things, you must go to the leader of the industry as much as possible,' Land ' It is necessary to meet the national conditions and allow the entire market to be completely accepted. "In 2004, the largest single financing of $ 13 million domestic software companies explained the problem. When you have eaten pork in 2000, when Mako established his thinking to speed up his platform, far in South California, more than 10 long-term senior Chinese management and senior engineers for major software companies in the United States. A company, this name-based company is also the ideal beginning of their platform.
As a CEO of Koo, Wang Qizhong took full scholarship to study in the University of Georgia in the early 1990s, and received a master's degree in computer science at the University of Georgia at all courses, his graduation papers published in International Database The most authoritative magazine "Journal of Database Management". At the same time, the Georgian Institute of Technology examines the permissions of the doctoral capital. After entering the industry, he first presided over the R & D of the MP2 entire product line with the largest market share of North America. This product is applied in tens of thousands of companies in 140 countries. Among them, there are 500 companies in Fortune. 60% of businesses. When the peak of the Internet, he entered the most famous e-commerce platform company Commerce One, led the R & D team of nearly 100 engineers, comprehensively responsible for the development and customer service of Commerce One's electronic procurement and e-bidding platform. This product was later adopted by SAP electronic market products, once shocked the B2B e-commerce industry in the same year. Others in the Corino team are also from the core technical management team from companies such as PeopleSoft, Novell, Yahoo. It can be said that this is "not only a pig run, but also eats pork". The experience of the research and development and implementation of the business research and development and large-scale real-time enterprise management software is the most domestic manufacturer desire. In April 2003, Wang Qizhong returned to Beijing and established Kono (Beijing). "When we work in the United States, the righteous value in the 1990s has just recovered from the depression. The entire US information market is Daxing civil, and China is very similar to China." Wang Qi Zhong said they came back, that is, to be in China The market is fully practicing their experience. Cologne products are a rapid development platform based on J2EE-based B / S information system. They are already very mature in Silicon Valley Laboratory. Now they use this platform to do outsource the business in China, while promoting in the domestic market. Review the temptation of the industry chain, Xu Ping has a sign of industrial change behind any market. Since the 21st century, from the global perspective, the software platform has changed the movement, different goals, and different technologies, the intermediate parts of different technologies are gradually integrated, and the middleware and other software are also combined, and the introduction of J2EE standards finally established The status of the software infrastructure platform in the industrial chain makes this level of competition. In 2004, the new ethnic group of new ethnic groups, the new ethnic group, and the competition of the software platform to the business infrastructure platform, the assembly and framework, enterprise modeling and other technologies were constructed, software infrastructure The platform extends to the business function. At the beginning of last year, Kingdee's "software platform revolution" still had a small question, almost on one night, but many software companies declared that their future strategic focused also turned to software platforms, not only do universal software products companies. Change the software platform, system integrators, industry software companies, etc. also to develop in the direction of the software platform. Although this platform is non-preparation, the market is overheated and followed, people can't help but think of the chaos of the ERP market in the first two years. The new and old forces are split, collisions, and integration under the appearance, which is the deep root source of this platform melee. At the end of 2002, a study of the Internet laboratory showed that the system of operating system middleware application software was quickly deconstructed by the market, and the operating system infrastructure platform business infrastructure platform application The new system of the software. "Business infrastructure platform is the latest in the level differentiation, and the most potent floor", Wang Junxiu, the internet laboratory, introduces the reporter "It has now available, and it is very good."
Why have such a hierarchical differentiation? Cao Kaibin, an analyst of the Bathing Information, said: "The contradiction between the long-term product versatility and demandatic personalization, the implementation efficiency of large-scale complex application systems is very low, and the Chinese market in the transition period is particularly prominent." The reporter also noted that in the recent management software user survey, the implementation satisfaction of large-scale complex application systems is the lowest. Although there have been a large number of reports have proved that the high failure is because "ERP is not satisfied in the Chinese market", but the fact is that international industrial research shows that the ERP project has a global failure rate of more than 70%. "The reason is only the existing problem of ERP development and implementation itself", and the experts believe that "software industry has not found a strong tool and method to solve complex software system projects is the foundation." The global software industry also It has been exploring how to improve management software efficiency, and people strive to focus on two aspects: First, software engineering, one is software technology innovation, and software platform is the most meaningful technological innovation. "Business Basic Software Platform is a newly raised level above the existing operating system platform and software infrastructure platform. Its main feature is to use the business-oriented to quickly build applications. Using this platform can greatly improve software Development efficiency and can quickly meet the needs of users. " According to Cao Kaibin, "the previous two-layer platform is better, the business basic software platform and the user's management and business-related degree are relatively large, and is the general basic platform for management software development." Why do Chinese companies may take the lead in the field of business infrastructure platform? In this issue, the reporter interviewed the experts in the relevant fields and the current domestic business infrastructure platform enterprises. In summary, they generally believe that: First, the Chinese market is a new, high-speed market, and the traditional development model should be paid. Very tasty, just as the "chaos", this type of platform should be born in this contradictory and fierce market; secondly, the informationization of this market is in the new stage, and the application system can be "revolutionary" on such platforms; The informationization construction in the US market is very mature, it is impossible to move back, even if it is necessary to modify the application, it can only be improved based on the original architecture, and it is impossible to perform "subversive revolution." Cologne President, who is deeply versed in the US market, believes: "From the promotion level, the US market has formed a strong system integrator forces that have a strong development capability, which is impossible to support this kind of new platform with their conflict conflicts; China's situation is exactly the opposite, integrators, developers are scattered in various industries, and they will choose to alliance with the platform in order to compete with strong management software companies with strong strength. The revelation of the BEA "From which market starts, the appearance of the business infrastructure platform is the general trend", and the reporter's management software vendor and middleware manufacturers in the reporter, they basically agree with the rationality of this direction. "The infrastructure platform is not an opportunity to have no more torture. The key is whether our business infrastructure platform has survived power, which will make this industrial level." As a representative of the new ethnic group, Mark is a drain .
Indeed, since the history, every birth is a software platform, will form a new industrial group, such as the operating system platform creates Microsoft, the database platform creates the same as Oracle, the middleware platform creates the BEA, was born in China Can the market business infrastructure platform, can you bring us a world-class software company? At present, there are three categories of companies that claim to provide business infrastructure platforms. One is the use of their own development business base software platform products. It will not sell this product as their own profit model, such as user; one is Developed business basic software platform products, which are sold to customers, as well as Kim Die; this is a new company specializing in business infrastructure platforms, which is our new ethnic group. As we all know, the most successful place in BEA is to seize the business opportunities in the industrial layers. After seeing this emerging development direction, it will make our core competitiveness in the field, especially the financing. 50 million US dollars, a centralized acquisition of the middleware market, established its own intact middleware solution in the shortest time, making professional advantages into scale benefits, consistent in the industrial chain, established their own living space And many companies in the middle of the middleware, such as the domestic Dongfang, the profound understanding and forwarding of the industry, can not speak with the BEA. The business infrastructure platform can eventually become a new level requires a lot of strength, and this new ethnic group is now, it can be said to be a decisive role. The research of the new and old force game, the study shows that within 2 to 3 years, there will be more and more complex application software systems to establish above the business base software platform, this new market change, for the current local A large impact is a big impact on the market. Last year, after the East Soft Gold Abacus launched his own VP platform, he also promoted his UAP platform with friends, and the Kingdee currently built a tree in the application server market has repeatedly emphasized that there is a BOS platform on the application server. Management software providers This action is obviously to kill business base software platform providers in the living chance of living in the ecological chain. According to Cao Kaibin, from the current development of the current situation, a strong management software, such as the manufacturing ERP, etc., the business base software platform of the management software provider, which will be more dominant; while business basic software platform providers In various industries, ISV and SI are widely allocated, and the management software providers enter the region or industry manufacturing barriers. Foreign manufacturers SAP, PEOPLESOFT, ORACLE, etc. have also been noticed in this area, and there are already related products. The third party's Si or ISV will not produce their own management software. It is worth paying attention to the other level of international software giants, also begins to show obvious actions. IBM, BEA, Microsoft, these three most important software infrastructure platform providers have begun to advance their products to the business layer. For example, Microsoft is ready to launch MBF (Microsoft Business Architecture), BEA, IBM, etc. also added workflow management, business process management, etc. in their products. This is an important signal that is forced to enter the business base software platform in one step. If it is still a game with the upper ERP vendor, the front impact between the future and the software infrastructure platform provider is inevitably, that will be a cruel to you. competition. Now these business infrastructure platform providers are actively financing, and the power of capital is the urgency of this ethnic task, just like the Marco Institute says "our company is not growing up."
What can't be ignored is that compared with UF, Kingdee's old software company, this new ethnic group developed in the market low tide has a considerable breakthrough, and they have no chance characteristics, and they are no longer in the strategic choice. It is satisfied with the application of the end of the industrial chain, but a platform that can be standardized, scale, internationalized; in the choice of business model, they are more open, more inclined to cooperate, this is with old software companies "Into" has formed a distinct contrast; it can be said that the appearance of platform manufacturers will further promote the market by product lead-oriented migration; and this introduction of business-oriented platform technology not only solves the efficiency problem of software It is a subversion of the entire traditional software development model, even if each developer may fall into traces of change. It is not possible that this new ethnic group will eventually become BEA, and their impact on China's software market should be far-reaching.

However, the team's strength is unbalanced, and the market has been capable of being weak. Corino was established: 2000 US Company, 2003 Chinese company leaders: Wang Qizhong, hosted MP2 R & D company scale: US 10 people, China 25 products: ka -2 3.7 Typical users: China Petroleum, US OPCO reporter comment: The internationalization start, the product and technical team has an advantage, but the scale is small, the local market is unfamiliar, the team of Beijing is more weak Popular Established: 2001 leader Character: Liu Yadong, Yaxin Founder, the number of people: 150 Product version: V3.33 Typical users: China Telecom, China Mobile, Shanghai Land and Resources Bureau Review: The team's overall strength is strong, but the user of its products Professional technical requirements Higher click Technology Establishment time: 2002 Leading people: Wang Zhidong, Chinese Star Developer, Sina founder: 230 Product Name: GK Collaborative Platform Typical users: Luzhou Laojiao reporter comment: Team strength balance There is an international capital support, but the product development time is short, and the maturity is to be verified to verify that the technology route is compared, although it is classified into the same community, these companies have not fully reached a consensus on product philosophy. Thinking accelerated products have two core parts, namely business run platforms and business modeling tools. Its core concept is to develop management software with business modeling tools and run management software with business run platforms. Compared with similar products, the biggest feature of thinking accelerated business3.0 is the modeling. Since business modeling is based on business and management, while management software development is made, business and technology have been separated, so its development speed is very fast. At the same time, when the user needs change, it is only necessary to modify the relevant business model, so it can be very easy to meet the needs of users. Cologne products are called software development automation production lines KA-2, which includes three parts, namely application platforms, development tools and methodology.
Cologne's core concept is to introduce "production process" in software development, and will automatically produce "management software" suitable for user needs after the demand is input to "software production line". Compared with other similar products, the biggest feature of Keno software development automation production line is the automatic generation of Java source code, and the introduction of business components and software production process methods. Since he can automatically generate code, the development speed is greatly improved, and the business component instead of technical components, its multiplexing level can also be greatly improved. Pu EOS includes two major parts, namely the EOS operation platform and the EOS development tool. The core concept of Puyuan is that the development of software must be based on components, and the application software is running based on component-oriented application software platform. Compared with other similar products, the maximum feature of Pu EOS is its basic component library. Since more than 1000 basic components have been existing, developers can directly select and automatically assemble them. Also, Puyuan EOS also supports components that generate a larger granularity from the base assembly. This is the case, so that development efficiency can be greatly improved. When the user needs to change, it is not necessary to modify the entire management software system, but only the corresponding components are required. Click on the product GK collaborative platform also includes two major parts, namely the application of infrastructure and development environments. Click on the core concept is the future management software will increasingly integrate into collaboration, and the support and development environment of synergy management software is a collaborative platform. Therefore, the collaborative platform is one of the business base software platform, which is a proprietary platform for the business base software platform in collaborative software. But there are two possibilities for future development trends. First, the proprietary collaborative platform grows, one is to integrate into the business base software platform, becoming a basic attribute. Despite the difference in implementation, the goals of these products are two fundamental issues in the software development process: improve development efficiency and quickly meet user changes. The biggest value for the user is that it is easy to modify, the total cost of ownership is reduced. -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ More Learning Diary, please see: http://www.donews.net/dyh
