Huawei Technologies has conducted the first Huawei Southern East Asia Enterprise Service Ecosystem Summit in the presence of 40 industry core partners from Thailand, Hong Kong and India.
The channel partner event — organized by Huawei’s Southeast Asia Enterprise Business Group – tried to promote the Huawei career certification program known as Huawei Certified Internetwork Expert (HCIE) and encourage partners’ and customers’ engineers to join.
Huawei introduced its service cooperation strategies and support platforms to the company’s partners in the SEA region. Huawei will work with channel partners to help customers address challenges during their digital transformation.
Huawei currently supports over 1,000 partners in the SEA region, with more than 400 based in Thailand.
“Huawei would like to position itself as a driving force, an enabler, and a preferred partner during this digital transformation to propel our customers’ business excellence. The ICT transformation of enterprises is imperative,” William Wang, head of Huawei SEA Enterprise Business Group, said.
Huawei Enterprise focuses on five industries – public safety, transportation, energy, finance, and manufacturing – and works on three core control points – advanced technology, leading platform, and leading ecosystem – to build service abilities oriented to major customers.
