Output of Guiyang HIDZ big data firms returns to normal

With the Guiyang National High-tech Industrial Development Zone (Guiyang HIDZ) currently overseeing the back-to-work by resident companies, its big data businesses have made full use -- of on-site offices, mobile offices, home office and other facilities – to restore their output which returned to normal at the end of March, according to Guiyang HIDZ officials on April 3.

Officials in the zone in Guiyang, capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province, said that through guidance and services provided by the industry authorities to 103 software enterprises in the zone, progress was made.

They said 31 key enterprises are expected to achieve software business revenue of 1.12 billion yuan ($158 million) in the first quarter of the year and the remaining 72 enterprises are expected to achieve software business revenue of 702 million yuan, effectively driving the growth of the zone's software and information technology services industry.

Officials said the zone was insisting on combining the resumption of production with the highest standards being maintained in epidemic prevention and control. They said this had been achieved with big data companies in particular,  which were rolling out key projects according to the principles of "one enterprise, one policy".

At the same time, in view of the characteristics of the software and information technology services industry -- such as relatively few personnel, flexible office modes and a good foundation of information -- it has been suggested that enterprises can increasingly work from home and online.

The zone has encouraged enterprises -- in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, telemedicines, data center, information communications, e-commerce, intelligent material flow and other fields – to return to full operations but not sacrifice implementing epidemic prevention measures.
In addition, the zone has cooperated with the relevant departments of industry and commerce, commerce, industry and development to offer better services and promote the orderly resumption of large data integration enterprises.
