Securely and Reliably Unlocking Data Value Earns Recognition Again at the 2020 China Digital Government Conference
To further implement the guiding principles of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, summarize and share pathways and best practices for government digital transformation, the "2020 China Digital Government Development Conference," hosted by the Chinese Institute of Electronics and the Information Technology and Software Service Network, was held in Beijing on January 8, 2021. General Data Technology Co., Ltd. (GBase) was invited to attend and received the "2020 Most Influential Brand in China's Database Industry" award, while GBase 8a won the "2020 Best Big Data Product in China" award.
At the conference, Du Guowang, Vice President of GBase, delivered a keynote speech titled "Secure and Stable Data Management to Unlock the Value of Data Assets." He noted that in the process of government digital transformation, analysis and processing of IT and big data are fundamental prerequisites. When sharing, exchanging, and utilizing data to release its value, data security and stability must be fully considered. Building digital government requires deeper exploration of the value behind data. Through in-depth data analysis and mining, decision makers can be better supported to make choices from macro, industry, and various other perspectives.
In an interview with journalists, when asked about the market opportunities brought by digital government construction, he commented: Digital government operates on data—speaking with data, managing with data, making decisions with data, and innovating with data. It forms a strong foundation for building a strong cyber country, a digital China, and a smart society. First, opportunities arise from replacing existing scenarios under IT Application Innovation (XC), but we must also take a long‑term view and pursue innovations based on our own products. Second, in the technology‑focused new infrastructure drive, the growth of industries such as 5G, artificial intelligence, big data, and smart manufacturing generates enormous data management and analysis demands.
During the event, the conference organizing committee recognized individuals, companies, technologies, products, and application cases that made outstanding contributions to the digital China initiative in 2019‑2020. With years of secure and stable performance in the market, GBase and its products received the following honors:
