Barcelona, Spain, March 3, 2023 - Whale Cloud Technology Co., Ltd. (Whale Cloud) is a leading technology company providing software solutions and services for telecommunications and multiple industries. From February 27 to March 2, 2023, the company showcased its innovative offerings at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. At the conference, Whale Cloud engaged in productive discussions with global operators, ecosystem partners, and industry peers to share its latest business strategy, STRATO. This strategy is designed to help customers navigate the ever-changing business landscape and achieve rapid success.
During the conference, Whale Cloud demonstrated its commitment to innovation and collaboration by showcasing how its products and services can help businesses excel in today's disruptive environment. Whale Cloud believes that IT transformation alone is not sufficient to achieve business objectives, emphasizing the importance of changing the way we think about customer challenges to adapt to uncertainty and change. Rather than just focusing on Digital Transformation 1.0, Whale Cloud aims to elevate this approach to a higher level of Digital Transformation 2.0 by working closely with customers to embed insights into their business strategy.
Whale Cloud understands that digital transformation is not limited to the telecommunications industry, but rather impacts all aspects of digital business and market trends. Through the STRATO strategy, Whale Cloud provides customers with a comprehensive view of digital transformation, enabling them to launch their businesses into the stratosphere in a stable and sustainable manner. The strategy comprises three critical objectives:
Firstly, Whale Cloud focuses on improving the core connectivity of Communication Service Providers (CSPs). As connectivity remains the main business for CSPs, Whale Cloud prioritizes the development of a cloud-ready and open 5G portfolio that supports 5G and new enterprise-focused business models covering core scenarios and capabilities required by CSPs. This helps CSPs achieve a fast return on investment.
Secondly, Whale Cloud enables innovative businesses to make a difference by leveraging CSPs' natural advantages to help them break into new markets. Whale Cloud's ready-to-use digital offerings can expand their business and lead to rapid revenue growth.
Lastly, Whale Cloud empowers accountable transformation services to succeed by adapting to customer demands and building core competencies to unlock potential revenue growth. With their global teams and continuously evolving technology, Whale Cloud is committed to delivering outstanding customer service and exceeding customer expectations.
At the highly anticipated 5G Futures Summit, George Zhao, Deputy Chief Marketing Officer of Whale Cloud International, delivered a joint keynote speech with Neil Tomkinson, Chief Information Officer of U Mobile. Titled "Evolving Telco IT for 5G & Future Networks," they shared their successful story in Malaysia, positioning U Mobile at the forefront of the 5G revolution by championing innovative use cases and services for consumers and businesses. With a strong focus on delivering unparalleled customer experiences in the digital age, U Mobile has invested heavily in building a robust ecosystem platform while transforming its core IT infrastructure. In partnership with Whale Cloud, U Mobile is adopting an Open Platform approach to accelerate its innovation and evolution, with the goal of emerging as the undisputed market leader in the 5G landscape.
Following the keynote speech, Marcelo Zhou, Chief Business Advisor of Whale Cloud International, participated in a panel discussion alongside other prominent industry leaders. During the discussion, Marcelo stressed the importance of telcos enhancing their agility in processes, emphasizing how 5G has transformed the network from a mere connectivity infrastructure to an open platform for service creation and collaboration. Marcelo also highlighted the potential of a platform business model through federating edge cloud and network capabilities, which could bring value to all stakeholders in the value chain. Whale Cloud's Open Platform approach can help CSPs adopt a Telco as a Service business model and speed up business innovation, leading to greater success in the 5G landscape.
At the FinTech Summit, Dou Huichang, VP of Payment Business Group of Whale Cloud International, brought a co-speech with Li Zhixian, Senior Director of Alipay+ Payment Tech Services at Ant Group. Together, they presented innovative payment solutions and real-world experiences demonstrating how to generate new revenue streams. As part of Whale Cloud's Digital Transformation 2.0 initiative, fintech and paytech can help CSPs unlock diversified revenue streams beyond their core businesses. Furthermore, Whale Cloud aims to take its services one step further by empowering CSPs to transform into techcos. This will allow CSPs to utilize Whale Cloud's expertise in serving their customers, leading to greater success and transformation in the fintech industry.
