Based on years of experience in the construction industry, with the support of the enterprise Internet open platform and the integration with cloud computing, mobile commerce, and big data, Inspur provides construction enterprises with the interconnected, shared, and intelligent Inspur Haiyue construction cloud solution to support the digital transformation of enterprises. Inspur Haiyue Construction Cloud has launched six cloud applications for enterprises, including engineering project management cloud, financial cloud, procurement cloud, human resources cloud, construction enterprise intelligent cloud eye, and collaborative cloud to help construction enterprises in cloudification.
The project operation of construction enterprises determines the characteristics of wide geographical distribution. With the implementation of the national Internet plus plan, the Belt and Road policy, and the reform of business tax to value-added tax, as well as the wide application of PPP projects and EPC projects in the industry, higher requirements have been put forward for the management and informatization of construction enterprises. More and more domestic enterprises have joined the ranks of international competition and engaged in international project contracting work, which fully reflects the characteristics of "wide geographical distribution". Geographical dispersion makes it difficult for enterprise managers to grasp the operation information of each project in a timely and dynamic manner, to monitor the operation status of the entire group in real time, and to predict the potential loss of the project. Therefore, more and more construction enterprises are eager to carry out vertical management of branch companies and various engineering projects with the help of informatization, and implement the management of integration of business and finance within enterprises.
Through the means of informatization and the current advanced cloud computing, virtualization, big data, mobile Internet, and other technologies, enterprises realize enterprise management in cloudification, carry out the digital transformation of enterprise management, break through the obstacles between business departments and financial departments, integrate financial management into project management, and extend project management to financial management to achieve the integration of business and finance. In addition, with the application of big data, enterprises can establish their internal big data analysis library to provide support for enterprise decision-making.
The Inspur Haiyue construction cloud solution is based on the overall planning of construction enterprise informatization to provide enterprises with all-round and integrated comprehensive solutions and consulting services from software to hardware and from technology to service. It mainly includes:
SaaS layer: It realizes comprehensive digital construction at all levels for the decision-making layer, enterprise layer, and project layer, and supports the innovation of enterprise management models, business models, and decision-making models;
DaaS layer: With the help of the data sharing platform, it collects organizational data, Internet of Things data, and Internet data to build an enterprise data center;
PaaS layer: Based on the Inspur enterprise Internet open platform, it includes such platforms as cloud service support platform, IoT access platform, and GSP+ development integration platform, and;
IaaS layer: It builds an enterprise-level cloud data center with the help of the Inspur cloud computing platform.
The detailed architecture is as follows:
The Inspur Haiyue construction cloud solution is especially tailor-made for construction enterprises. It can meet the management needs of different levels of enterprises. For leaders at all levels of enterprises, the system provides tools such as decision support, early warning radar, OLAP analysis, and management cockpit, is prefabricated with common analysis models of construction enterprises, and assists leaders in real-time monitoring. For engineering companies and group headquarters with subordinate units or project departments, the system provides means for resource integration and operation monitoring of subordinate units from the aspects of "human resources, finance, and materials", including centralized procurement, centralized funds, centralized equipment, centralized financial accounting, and project operation monitoring.
For specific company operations and project department management needs, the system provides a comprehensive project management platform with "capital flow as the main line, cost management as the center, contract management as the constraint, progress management as the benchmark, and material and equipment management as the focus", including project bidding management, project progress management, project contract management, project material management, project machinery management, project manual management, project cost management, project quality management, project safety management, project risk management, project file management, and project completion management, to help the project department achieve full life cycle management of the project and realize the integration of finance and business.
For the construction of basic information facilities in the construction industry, Inspur fully considers the characteristics of wide distribution of projects and high data requirements in the construction industry, and provides integrated computing resources, storage resources, and network resource planning solutions for top-level applications to help enterprises build cloud data centers that suit them.
It assists enterprises in establishing and improving various system norms and processes, and promotes the standardization of enterprise management through informatization. The system supports the uniform execution of various standard codes in different heterogeneous systems.
For the management characteristics and difficulties of the multi-level organizational architectures of construction enterprises and the cross-regional distribution of project departments, it supports intensive management.
It supports cross-organization and cross-level organizational reengineering and business process reengineering, integrates advanced management experience at home and abroad, and supports various financial management models, capital management and control models, material and equipment procurement models, and human resource management models.
The system embodies the management idea of taking the project as the main body of management, the contract as the main line, the funds as the means, and the cost as the core, and with the help of informatization, it realizes the value chain management and refined management in the whole process of project management.
It enables the design of information sharing, business collaboration, and integration of business and finance, and integrates business interaction, process control, and information reflection to truly realize the integration of service flow, capital flow, information flow, and bill flow.
The risk management system identifies and proactively gives early warnings for events that may affect the progress of the project during the construction process to assist project managers in taking evasive measures and coping strategies in advance to ensure the smooth construction of the project.
New technologies and new applications promote and innovate management. With the help of e-commerce and mobile application technologies, it achieves dynamic, comprehensive, and effective control of suppliers' strategic procurement, enterprise, and project information. At the same time, it improves the work efficiency of personnel at all levels and increases teamwork abilities, thereby improving the management level and core competitiveness of the enterprise.
It breaks through business and financial barriers based on a unified platform, integrates traditional project management services with financial services, and uses information technology to establish an integrated management model for finance and business.
It builds a data center based on software and hardware applications and makes full use of server resources, database resources, and storage resources to improve enterprise hardware utilization efficiency, reduce enterprise hardware costs, and help enterprises in cloudification.
