Investigation And Solution Of Trade Enterprise Informatization

Nowadays

The biggest difference between the trade and the traditional sense is that it is not limited to the paction process. Instead, it combines the industrial chain and the value chain for the two time, making it a new driving force for the industry.

At the same time, the platform of the trade industry is no longer limited to several fairs, even the platform of import and export trade can not afford the needs of the new trade industry.

Foreign trade is like a mirror.

As a relatively developed area of information technology, Internet and information technology have brought new vitality to the trade industry.

As China's economic share in the global economy is increasing, foreign trade has also become a major event related to China's economy.

After a large number of enterprises went out of the country, they realized the gap between themselves and those in developed countries, so they began to actively learn the advanced ideas and management models of the other side, which included a large number of information ideas and cases.

It can be said that foreign trade is like a mirror, so that China's trade enterprises see the world and see their own shortcomings, and thus began the hard road of information pformation.

China's initial foreign trade started from primary products, that is, raw materials.

But with the overall upgrading of China's economic system, the export of raw materials alone can no longer guarantee the survival of enterprises. Foreign trade enterprises are facing great pressure.

How to enhance competitiveness? Only by learning the advanced experience of foreign counterparts.

So informatization is accepted by many trading enterprises, and various flexible application modes have been formed.

When the enterprise extends to the downstream, its information direction is to strengthen the customer management system, strengthen customer relationship management, and strengthen interaction with customers and suppliers in the system; when the enterprise extends upstream, its informatization must be shifted from trade centered to trade and management.

No matter which direction to extend, smooth flow of information and perfect communication platform are indispensable.

Problems of trading enterprises

Although many trade enterprises have applied a lot of information technology, they have done a lot of business promotion, but the number of orders has never been able to go. What should they do? How long should the salesmen handle the process too long, resulting in the loss of customers or suppliers, how to remedy? Will the flow of normal employees lead to the loss of customers? The information confusion between enterprises, the distraction of mail, products, quotations, and financial information in different departments can not be centralized management, and how should it be integrated? This is a practical problem facing the managers of trade enterprises.

Moreover, information construction requires continuous investment from enterprises. Factors such as high cost, difficult maintenance, and insecurity are hindering the pace of informatization construction of trade enterprises.

At the same time, the vast majority of small and medium-sized trade enterprises, which lack of professional information talents, are unable to bring more help to enterprises and make them invest in the arms of SaaS.

SaaS brings new ideas

SaaS (software as a service) is a mode of providing software through Internet. Users do not need to buy software again, instead of using Web based software to manage business activities, and do not need to maintain software. The service providers fully manage and maintain software. For many small businesses, SaaS is the best way to adopt advanced technology, which eliminates the need for enterprises to purchase, build and maintain infrastructure and applications.

That is to say, through SaaS, small and medium-sized trading enterprises can acquire a complete information application platform at low cost, without worrying about taking too much liquidity, and enterprises do not need to provide specialized technical personnel, not to worry about platform maintenance.

All these jobs are done by SaaS providers, and businesses only need to use them.

With the entry of Internet companies, SaaS has become a revolution, because it puts all application companies on a starting line equally, and the threshold is not high.

Although SaaS is not the latest concept, it may be the best solution to the current situation of SMEs in China. These enterprises are very urgent to apply information technology, but their own strength is limited, so they can not popularize information applications on a large scale.

Most of the trade enterprises in China are small businesses. If they can not quickly enhance their competitiveness, they will not be able to compete with the giants of foreign trade enterprises.

Information flow and Push Mail

For a field dominated by exports, how can we ensure maximum information flow? The frequency of economic activities will inevitably lead to increased demand for communication among enterprises. But where is the way to control communication costs? Some industry experts believe that building enterprise mailboxes is one of the important steps to standardize enterprise information flow, especially for foreign trade enterprises. A standardized enterprise mailbox system can bring high returns with low cost.

Of course, the most important concern for enterprises is the security of mailboxes.

In the process of using e-mail, enterprises may encounter various problems, such as instability of mail server, loss of business mail and threat of virus mail.

These risks have plagued the original cheap and efficient e-mail application.

In addition, the majority of foreign trade enterprises in trading enterprises are in the majority. When they communicate with overseas customers, it is likely to find that free mailboxes are not very good at sending and receiving overseas mail.

So we will also involve a kind of SaaS service, that is, the enterprise mailbox, for trading enterprises, as long as the cost is not much, you can get a stable, safe, high-speed, anti spam capability of the super mail platform.

After that, Push Mail application began to be concerned by some trading enterprises, because these enterprises realized the importance of information in time.

Push Mail, in short, is that the mail service system sends instant mail to the user's hands directly, without having to rely on the mobile terminal to check the mail automatically or to define the automatic mail to get the mail.

The user's terminal can always keep synchronized data with the specified mailbox.

But traditional Push Mail applications can only be accepted by BlackBerry phones, and users must pay high fees to operators regularly to enjoy such applications.

Now the Push Mail application has broken through this limitation, excellent third party solution has appeared, so the Push Mail of small and medium sized trading enterprise has two ways to choose: expensive BlackBerry or cheap third party application?

This solution has unique advantages: 1.. Shang post is a multi platform Push Mail service system, including support for different operating systems, terminals, SP/CP and hardware platforms, such as BlackBerry, OMS, Android, Kjava, Sina e-mail, Tencent, and even MTK solution; 2., for corporate customers, its regulatory requirements are higher, such as mail backup, audit, security, etc., and there are many solutions for localization needs for customers to choose; 3., domestic customers are more sensitive to prices, and some operators provide Push Mail services with a minimum monthly rent of up to 398 yuan, which discourages many users, while mailing has done a good job in price control. At present, the mature postal platform in the domestic market is based on this demand.

China's trading enterprises need different applications for Push Mail.

For example, some small businesses will prefer the hosting services under the SaaS mode, and only need a small amount of money to enable services. However, some larger scale trading enterprises will prefer to set up separate mail servers and save data locally. Of course, this will require more investment in the early stage.

As to what mode to choose, it should be tailored to the needs of the enterprise itself.

Push Mail application of Taixing company

Enterprise background

Taixing is a wholly foreign owned trading company, which uses BlackBerry Push Mail services based on Hongkong operators, but the function can not be used in the mainland of China.

Because Taixing is only a few people in the country, the smaller scale, and the 263 enterprise mailbox in the form of trusteeship can not use China Mobile's separate BlackBerry business for enterprises to deploy servers separately, and the price of the berry business is relatively high.

The company hopes to deploy a stable Push Mail service without replacing the original BlackBerry mobile phone without changing the enterprise's mailbox.

Solutions

In view of the actual application, Babel provides Taixing SaaS services (software as a service) version and Push Mail function specially designed for BlackBerry phones.

SaaS services provide SMEs with all the network infrastructure and software and hardware operation platforms needed for building information, and are responsible for all previous implementation, maintenance and other services. Enterprises do not need to purchase software and hardware, build computer rooms and recruit IT personnel. They only need pre payment one-time project implementation fees and regular software leasing service fees, so that they can enjoy the information system through the Internet.

Another feature of SaaS is security. Service providers can ensure the security and confidentiality of data of each enterprise through effective technical measures.

Program features

1. widely used: it can be installed and used on mobile BlackBerry business and other operators.

2. binding group: the application of Push Mail service can not only bind the enterprise's mailbox, but also bind multiple mailbox servers.

Programme revenue

There is basically no difference between the SaaS service mode and the enterprise self built information system, but it saves a lot of funds for purchasing IT products, technology and maintenance operation. And it can make use of the information system conveniently, just like the tap water can be opened, thus greatly reducing the threshold and risk of the informatization of small and medium-sized enterprises.
