Four Key Strategies for Digital Finance

In his keynote speech, Jason Cao, CEO of Huawei Digital Finance BU, highlighted AI's disruptive impact on the banking industry: "Over the past decade, mobile payment innovations have fueled digital transformation in banking. Looking ahead, intelligence is set to be the next game changer, accelerating innovation beyond imagination. The synergy of the Digital Flywheel and AI Flywheel will propel the banking sector into a new era of intelligence."

To support banks' transition to intelligent banking with superior user experiences and business models, Huawei has refined four key strategies: building resilient infrastructure to achieve 4 Zeros (Zero Downtime, Zero Wait, Zero Trust, and Zero Touch); accelerating application modernization to simplify the legacy-free journey; fast-tracking data intelligence and scenario-based innovation.

From China's Experience to a Global Solution: Accelerating Application Modernization

Cloud migration and application modernization are essential steps for banks entering the intelligent era. Leveraging deep integration of hardware, software, cloud, and data technologies, along with proven digital transformation practices with global top banks, Huawei officially launched its Digital Core 5.5 Solution for global financial institutions.

Huawei continues to make strategic investments in tackling challenges in global financial application modernization, such as resilience and migration. It remains committed to doing the difficult but right things, integrating hardware, software, databases, high-availability PaaS middleware, and engineering expertise built on extensive practical experience. Huawei collaborates with global mainstream partners to upgrade its Digital Core Solution through modernization across four domains: platform, data, engineering, and O&M, offering the global finance industry a second, better option.

Strengthening Infrastructure Resilience to Facilitate Intelligent Transformation

As a data-intensive sector, financial institutions require highly reliable and secure infrastructures. Strengthening infrastructure resilience and addressing intelligent application deployment challenges are crucial for financial institutions to enhance their competitive edge in business growth, risk management, and efficiency improvement.

Building a resilient financial infrastructure based on the 4 Zeros approach necessitates a clear vision, evaluation models, a well-defined evolution roadmap, and advanced product solutions. Through continuous innovation, Huawei has successfully helped multiple customers worldwide implement active-active and multi-active architectures. At this summit, Huawei unveiled eight upgraded solutions for R-A-A-S active-active data centers to fortify financial institutions' infrastructure resilience.

Data is the key capability of the Digital Flywheel and the foundation for Intelligent Flywheel knowledge evolution. Jason Cao highlighted that leading data capabilities are built on four key elements:

• R — Real-time analysis

• A — All-domain data integration

• C — Converged data platforms and unified data services

• E — Experience-centric business and IT data usage

At this summit, Huawei introduced this R.A.C.E Financial Data Intelligence Solution 5.5 to drive global financial business growth with a more robust platform, advanced practices, diverse scenarios, and comprehensive ecosystem integration.
