Does Neusoft want to completely transform itself into a healthcare company? People who care about Neusoft should note that, as China's largest IT solutions provider, Neusoft in the past two years in the press news is more related to health care, especially at the end of 2014, Neusoft's Neusoft Medical, Neusoft Xikang received Hony, Goldman Sachs and other capital up to 3.7 billion yuan of investment, this year, the Neusoft is also in Ningbo, Shenyang, Taiyuan and other places in the preparations for the construction of the "cloud hospital" platform. Hospital" platform in Ningbo, Shenyang, Taiyuan and other places this year. Even Liu Jiren, the soul of Neusoft Group, talked more about Neusoft's health strategy in forums and interviews.
"One of the things that the people are not yet satisfied with or will never be satisfied with is education, and the other is healthcare." Neusoft Group Chairman Liu Jiren told Interface News that Neusoft started its full transformation into the healthcare field around the establishment of Xikang in 2009, and used it to shift its business model from B2B to B2B2C, not giving up the enterprise-level users it has accumulated over the years, while extending its business line to the home and personal consumption market.
Transforming to healthcare, Neusoft has the backbone and the advantage. As China's first listed software company, Neusoft has gone through many transformations since its founding in 1991, from being a software company to a system integrator to a solution provider and international outsourcing business, and Liu Jiren is very happy that Neusoft is "still alive".
"China's IT companies will basically die in five years, Neusoft has been alive for 24 years, and if you compare it to others, it has basically lived for more than 200 years." At the 2015 Neusoft Solutions Forum held in Guiyang at the end of October, Liu Jiren, as soon as he took the stage, first playfully joked about Neusoft, and of course his own age, "When everyone is optimistic about the 90s, there are still people investing money in the 50s." This was Liu Jiren talking about why Hony's Zhao Linghuan was still willing to invest in him, Liu Jiren, who was born in 1955, is exactly 60 years old this year.
"You ask a 20-year-old how much he wants to live to, and he may answer 80; but you ask a 78-year-old how much he wants to live to, and it's definitely not 80." Liu Jiren said both the government, hospitals and the IT sector should work to make the lives of ordinary people longer and more rewarding.
To reach such a goal, it is inevitable that we cannot rely only on last-minute hospice care. Liu Jiren said, "If I were the president of a hospital, I would hope that, first of all, it would be best if you never came to my hospital; and if you did, I would hope that you would never come back".
What is the deeper meaning of what Liu Jiren said? This is to mention Neusoft is testing the waters of the "cloud hospital". The so-called "cloud hospital" is a health management and medical service **** enjoyment service platform composed of big data, cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT) technology, as well as medical equipment and medical management application system, which constructs a highly efficient, safe, reliable, and supervisory collaborative medical system for the government, hospitals, and doctors; and constructs a network of hospitals and medical associations for doctors to obtain greater benefits and promote the realization of medical services. It is a tool for hospitals to build a network medical association, for doctors to get more benefits, and for promoting the realization of medical reform.
In Liu Jiren's words, "cloud hospital" is "a hospital without walls", through the infrastructure, IT sensors, the Internet and other aspects of the investment to realize the medical services to the community, to the family, the medical model from hospital-centered to community, family, and so on. hospital as the core to the community, family and individual as the core.
Taking its first pilot Ningbo Cloud Hospital as an example, according to Sun Xiangdong, director of Ningbo Municipal Health Information, it has been officially launched from March this year, and up to now it has completed the construction of three major platforms of online medical care, collaborative medical care and health management, and will further explore and optimize in the future in terms of government supporting policies, payment methods, experience, data and business models. In addition, Ningbo Cloud Hospital has also released the "Palm Cloud Hospital" App, which allows patients to see all their medical records and daily health files, as well as enjoy services such as registration, free and fee-based counseling, and medical checkups.
This vision is so ambitious, can Neusoft as a company realize such a dream? "In this process, it is true that the support of government departments, including the insurance industry, is still needed." Liu Jiren said that the healthcare transformation conceptualized by Neusoft is not thinking of subverting anyone, "it is very uncomplicated", "we are creating a new thing, but the original thing is already existed, but they are particularly separated from each other, and they don't have any connection. "
"Everyone should be a doctor in the medical process." Liu Jiren believes that IT is the most important tool for future changes in the health care system, which can be used to penetrate the resources, capabilities and knowledge of large hospitals into the community, and to connect the people's daily behavior at home to the hospital.
This kind of thinking does not come from nowhere. Although already in his old age, Liu Jiren did not relax the pace of learning Internet thinking. In his keynote speech, "New Solutions for a New Ecology," Liu Jiren explained a lot of his understanding of Internet thinking, describing the three laws of the Internet: Moore's Law, Gilder's Law, and Metcalfe's Law. He believes that everything in the future world is connecting, the degree of cost of connectivity is decreasing, and while decreasing it is also creating new value, and this connectivity in turn forms communities and synergies.
"I believe there are a couple of Internet elements that will still be in full play on our network, the first one is socialization and the second one is synergy." Liu Jiren said. It is understood that, in addition to the cloud hospital, Neusoft also launched under the banner of the "elephant medical", "thin" and other health care mobile App.
But aiming at the medical piece of cake is not the only Neusoft, BAT in the field of health care also The BAT is also involved in the medical field. "When there is a monopoly, he will be complacent, there will be weaknesses, and another will definitely be born." Liu Jiren believes that in the medical field will never be a monopoly, there are currently all opportunities. In response to the increase in investment in the medical field in the past one or two years, whether there is a bubble, Liu Jiren believes that "there is absolutely no bubble, all of these explorations, innovative behavior will be inherited by the future, regardless of success or failure."
It is understood that this year, Neusoft is also negotiating the introduction of a new investment, the same will be applied to the medical field, and Neusoft Medical, Neusoft Xikang, two subsidiaries will run to the spin-off of the goal of the development of listing.
Neusoft's layout in the medical field has been spread in a big way, so what will the future situation be? "It's hard for me to describe what we'll be like three years from now," said Liu Jiren, who said he hoped that within three years there would be more basic medical care going to the family, and that a lot of the people would have their own personal family doctors, and also expected more stakeholders or like-minded people to come to their platforms to work together for the satisfaction of the people and their technology, capital and service model to serve the future, "perhaps it will be a runaway state."
For those new non-core business, Neusoft has started to encourage employees to start their own businesses. Last year, Beijing Neusoft Huiju Information Technology Co., Ltd. officially landed on the New Third Board, a company whose main business is consulting services for high-end application software such as SAP, ORACLE and INFOR, and a subsidiary in which Neusoft Group has an indirect stake. "We may have more companies landing on the New Third Board this year." Liu Jiren revealed that Neusoft's mobile apps such as "Elephant Medical" and "Slim" will be spun off to seek outside investors and go public independently.
But no matter how much investment is made in the medical field, a reality that has to be faced is that Neusoft Xikang is still in the loss-making stage, with less than 30% of Neusoft's overall revenue from the medical sector, and the vast majority of its revenue coming from solutions and outsourcing businesses.
What many people don't know is that Neusoft provides industry and product engineering solutions as well as related software products, platforms and services in every aspect of our lives, including telecommunications, energy, finance, government, manufacturing, trade and distribution, healthcare, education and culture, transportation, mobile Internet, media and environmental protection.
For example, on Nov. 17, Neusoft and Linyang signed a strategic cooperation agreement, in which the two sides plan to launch a comprehensive strategic cooperation in the development, operation, promotion and service of cloud platforms related to the Internet of Energy, based on the latest development trends and market opportunities in the field of Internet of Energy. In July this year, Neusoft Group also signed a joint venture agreement with Alpine Electronics (China) Co., Ltd. and Shenyang Fritz Enterprise Management Center to invest in the establishment of Neusoft Fritz Automotive Technology (Shanghai) Co. Neusoft Rui Chi will deepen the layout of Neusoft's automotive electronics business based on the company's more than 20 years of innovative R&D practices in the field of automotive electronics, and centering on the key technologies that drive the transformation of the automotive industry.
"The new solution will not only meet customers' needs for IT technology and functions, but also serve their customers." Liu Jiren said that, as a whole, the new solutions Neusoft is implementing have three main features: expansion, change and precision. First, the new solution is not only to meet customers' needs for IT technology and functionality, but also to serve their customers, to help them succeed in their commercial and business development, and to maintain a high degree of consistency with customers' interests and the direction of social development. Secondly, the new solution is not only a display of technology, but also emphasizes and supports the change of customer's business model, and promotes the change of business development model and value creation between Neusoft and customers through the creation of a new solution architecture and a new service model together with customers. Thirdly, it is the era of new solutions to create operational excellence and precise management through big data mining and artificial intelligence.
"I don't think anyone dares to say they have really succeeded." Liu Jiren said the ultimate purpose of business is to contribute to society, not purely for money. In his view, a person's thinking has nothing to do with whether it's after 50 or 90, but rather depends on the individual's willingness to go and keep learning to keep up with the times, "I even hope that I can live to be 100 or 120 years old."
