However, how to go to the cloud is still a common pain point and difficulty for many retail enterprises.

In order to help retailers improve their digital capabilities, Huawei Cloud and Bailian Group jointly released the "Best practices for Cloud Transformation of large-scale Commercial Retail E-commerce platform-Cloud Migration Framework White Paper" (hereinafter referred to as "White Paper") at Huawei Cloud Digital Intelligence New Consumer Innovation Summit 2023 on August 20.

White Paper on Cloud Migration Framework released

Based on the rich experience of Huawei's cloud digital transformation and the profound accumulation and successful practice of large enterprises such as Bailian Group in the retail industry, the White Paper puts forward a cloud migration framework and methodology that runs through the whole life cycle of cloud in enterprises. and provide scientific and detailed suggestions for specific stages. The release of the White Paper will provide reliable and efficient guidance and reference for cloud transformation of enterprises, especially large retail e-commerce enterprises, and help retail enterprises to achieve digital transformation.

Covering the eight stages of the enterprise cloud, "White Paper" whole life cycle "escort"

In the digital age, it has become a general trend for enterprises to go to the cloud. The "White Paper" points out that under the current situation, the digital transformation of enterprises has changed from a selective advantage to a necessity for the survival and development of enterprises. Enterprise digital transformation often starts with "cloud", first business on the cloud, and then innovation on the cloud, take advantage of the cloud to set sail, and gradually realize the enterprise digital intelligence transformation strategy.

However, cloud is a complex and systematic work in business, and it is not an easy task for medium and large enterprises. Enterprises will face many challenges in the process of going to the cloud, such as business impact, adaptation, security compliance, data consistency, cost control and so on. According to the White Paper, the overall idea for enterprises to go to the cloud is to first plan as a whole, then pilot on a small scale, and finally go to the cloud on a large scale.

Therefore, the White Paper divides the life cycle of enterprises on the cloud into eight stages. that is, research and analysis, evaluation planning, cloud preparation, cloud architecture design, cloud migration pilot, overall batch planning, large-scale cloud migration and cloud operation and governance. At the same time, in the entire cloud cycle, enterprises also need to continue to practice and land the "three shifts", that is, to transfer awareness, organization, and capabilities, and to review project management and key stages, such as Shanghai Cloud pilot review, switching exercise review, each batch migration review, and so on.

In the process of going to the cloud, business switching is a crucial step. If there are problems with business switching, it will have a serious impact on the normal operation of the enterprise. Therefore, according to the characteristics and needs of different services, it is necessary to develop a reasonable switching scheme. The White Paper provides omni-directional and systematic guidance on how to choose a switching scheme, how to reduce the duration of suspension of service, and how to design Runbook. No matter what kind of business scenarios and suspension requirements, enterprises can work out their own business switching strategies and processes according to the plan of the "White Paper".

Apply modernization to cloud, effectively support agile business innovation

At present, traditional enterprise applications have been unable to meet the needs of the rapid development of business, and need to evolve to modern applications running on the cloud. The "white paper" points out that the "cloud" of applications and data is not the end point, and that the cloud is only the beginning of the digital transformation, and it is also necessary to continuously respond to the needs of new IT and business through "application modernization" to support business innovation and development on the cloud.

According to the White Paper, application modernization involves not only the use of cloud-native technologies (such as containers, microservices, DevOps, API gateways, etc.), but also the application of new technologies (such as AI, digital human, IoT, blockchain, etc.) to enable businesses to keep up with the trend of the times and enhance user experience and innovation capabilities. Specifically, application modernization includes five aspects: infrastructure modernization, architecture design modernization, development, operation and maintenance modernization, governance and operation modernization, and new technology enabling business modernization.

The White Paper points out that new technologies in the cloud, including artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain, meta-universe and the Internet of things, provide a wide range of opportunities and potential for business innovation and modernization. These technologies can help enterprises improve business processes, enhance decision-making capabilities, enhance user experience, promote business innovation and modernization, and create new business models and market opportunities.

With the rapid development and wide application of digital technology, data has become a new factor of production and digital economy has become a new driving force for growth. The application of modernization to cloud can effectively enhance the value and efficiency of data resources, promote the deep integration of digital economy and real economy, and promote the high-quality and vigorous development of digital economy.
