Established in May 2020, “Higher Cloud” is a company that provides comprehensive cloud services and provides cloud solutions for enterprises’ digital transformation. The talented team, with its enthusiasm for technology and youthful vitality, coincides with the demand for digital transformation caused by the epidemic, so that Haier Cloud has grown rapidly. Today, it is not uncommon for enterprises to migrate to the cloud, and companies selling cloud services are also contending with each other. What kind of characteristics and advantages does Haier Cloud have to become a new startup in the epidemic era in an environment full of competitors? This article interviews Levi Lan, Chief Technology Officer of “Haier Cloud”, to explore how this startup has leaped to the stage and led customers to walk in the cloud.
Generation Z takes the lead, creating new value of cloud services
2012 is the “first year of big data” in the world, and it is also the year that Lan Guohao graduated from University. When the global industry began to pay attention to the importance of data analysis and data cloudification, Lan Guohao also formally entered his career in information engineering. He has handled the virtualization project of GOGOBOX service and also worked as a project engineer at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). , assisting customers in a number of system maintenance projects; even serving as the data center supervisor in Bohong Cloud, helping the company to turn losses into profits and creating a monthly income of millions. Various experiences have also laid the foundation for his profound strength in systems, cloud applications, and data center deployment. Therefore, after the establishment of “Haier Cloud”, Lan Guohao was determined to invest in new startups and show his talents.
“Actually, my personality is risk-taking.” Lan Guohao said frankly with a smile. Because of this personality, he was not afraid of doing wrong. He joined Haier Cloud in the early days of its establishment. In the cloud world full of competitiveness, as a technical leader, he leads the team to break through the siege and create new value of cloud services.
So, what exactly is the new value that Haier Cloud is going to provide? Lan Guohao said: “Taiwan has experienced many industrial changes in the past few years. The overall rise of digital transformation has actually made the supply and demand situation of cloud services close to saturation. However, in the hybrid cloud area, the market still needs insight and Customized service. And this is the opportunity that Haier Cloud first saw, and it is also one of our biggest service advantages today.”
Lan Guohao shared that different cloud service providers have their own strengths, and cloud services and customer needs in different regions (such as the three places on the Taiwan Strait) are also different. Therefore, the market needs a company that can understand the characteristics of major cloud providers and serve customers. Create a tailored cloud service provider that complements each other’s strengths and weaknesses, so that customers can not be restricted by regions, and make full use of the advantages of hybrid cloud to obtain maximum cloud benefits.
Haier Cloud is the role that offers advice. In addition to providing suitable hybrid cloud solutions, the biggest difference between Haier and Jingye is their rich execution experience in Chinese market operations (such as Alibaba Cloud), and their emphasis on the advantages of complete SOP and after-sales service. “Customers often give us positive feedback, such as instant response, quick problem solving, etc.” Lan Guohao also used examples to prove that the so-called “instant speed” is not based on feeling. In a certain project, Haier Cloud provided customers with The connection process that originally took 8 minutes was shortened to a 1-minute experience, which greatly optimized the execution efficiency.
Haier Cloud, Cloud Consultant Keeping Innovation
Of course, as a start-up company, Haier Cloud has also faced many operational challenges encountered by new start-ups. As the chief technical officer of Haier Cloud, Lan Guohao looks back at the beginning of the company’s establishment, from being ignorant and stumbled to a stage of steady pace and rapid growth. Although he is in the key position of chief technical officer, Lan Guohao is not so Taking credit; because Haier Cloud does have value and innovative services that other companies do not have, it can survive repeated difficulties and become more and more courageous.
Talking about the Haier Cloud team, Lan Guohao felt sorry for the heavy workload of his colleagues, but also said with pride, “Because the company is in a stage of rapid growth, when the business grows too fast, the workload of colleagues will also increase. In particular, we hope to provide a more comprehensive and in-depth cloud service in the market, to understand the customer needs of each industry as much as possible, and to provide the perfect cloud solution, so it is not easy for our engineers to say frankly. However, because the team members are very Young (Editor: Even the chief technical officer is only in his early 30s), everyone shares a passion, tenacity, and a sense of responsibility, and they can maintain a state of learning and keep improving, so the company can always move forward quickly on the track.”
To say that “youth is the capital of Haier’s cloud” would be a bit biased. Perhaps it should be said that it is the “sense of participation” that allows Haier Cloud to remain competitive. When employees agree with the new value of cloud services to be provided by the company, and the company also provides professional resources and subsidies such as education and training, encouragement of certificate examinations, etc., Haier Cloud can stand firm and even break through the siege in the industry, becoming an unstoppable dazzling star.
The next step of Haier Cloud: Set up overseas branches and expand markets outside Asia
“The corporate value of Haier Cloud is to be able to play a role like an IT consultant, not only to serve customers in the business scope, but also to assist customers as much as possible in other fields.” Lan Guohao revealed that Haier Cloud’s next plan It is to open up overseas branches, share its rich experience in cloud operations in China, and further serve markets outside Asia.
The English name of Haier Cloud is “Higher Cloud”, which seems to imply that for the Haier Cloud team, there is no highest, only higher, on the road to the development of the cloud industry. Holding the mentality of pursuing “higher and higher”, Lan Guohao believes that this is the fate and luck of the technology industry, that is, he can constantly motivate himself to keep innovating, develop various possibilities, help customers in different industries to grow through digital transformation, and give full play to the essence Influence.
