Huawei’s Ecosystem
How do Huawei’s platforms and ecosystems
stand out when compared with competitors?
Becoming our customers’ most-trusted
partner:
Huawei’s Rotating CEO Guo Ping said, “Huawei
has chosen a business model that relies on
the monetization of technology and services; it
does not monetize user data. This is the biggest
difference between Huawei and traditional
Internet companies.” We are dedicated to being
our customers’ most-trusted partner.
Promoting business-driven innovation and
focusing on value creation:
Huawei has an important concept for innovation
— that is, to focus on business-driven innovation
that addresses our customers’ core business
challenges to help them achieve business
success. Customers are turning to Huawei
because they recognize that our company
is their most trustworthy partner for service
innovation.
For example, Guangdong Rural Credit Union,
China’s largest rural credit bank, needed to
overcome bottlenecks in the fast deployment of
its financial payment services. Huawei worked
with Beijing Advanced Digital Technology, a
software company, to create an intermediary
services cloud to tackle the customer’s
challenges. The time taken for service
development, testing, deployment, and rollout
was shortened from 3-6 months to 1-2 weeks.
As such, Guangdong Rural Credit Union got a
head start in the market to achieve business
success.

Capitalizing on global OpenLabs to better
respond to the unique needs of industries:
Huawei has deployed OpenLabs globally to
collaborate more closely with partners and
customers for joint innovation and gain a
better understanding of industry challenges
and needs. The solutions incubated through
OpenLabs have covered sectors such as public
safety, finance, electric power, manufacturing,
and transportation. Over the next three years,
Huawei will continue to invest US$ 200 million
(CNY 3 billion) to build and operate OpenLabs,
increasing the total number from today’s 13 to
20 and extending coverage to Asia, Europe, the
Middle East, and the Americas. Where there are
customers and partners, there is innovation by
Huawei.
Providing a platform for platforms:
Another differentiator of Huawei’s ecosystem
is that Huawei remains within its own business
boundaries that is committed to providing a
platform for customer and partner platforms.
Many companies have transformed their own
experiences and expertise in a specific industry
into an enabler platform best suited for that
industry. Huawei positions itself to create an
open, secure, and reliable ICT infrastructure
platform within its own business boundaries
and to provide such a platform for customer and
partner platforms.
Huawei’s platform is a full-stack solution
with cloud-pipe-device collaboration which
provides one-stop ICT services for customers
and partners. Huawei’s platform allows
