Huawei Technologies Co, a Chienese technology giant, has strengthened its commitment to support Myanmar’s digital transformation road path by providing valuable suggestions at the recent e-Government Conference and ICT Exhibition held from 27 to 28 November.

Nick Guang Lu, chief technology officer of industry solutions at Huawei Southern-East Asia Enterprise Business Group, shared the firm’s building Cloud platform to benefit a wide range of industries towards successful digital transformation during a presentation entitled, “Leading new ICT-enabling digital government by Cloud platform.”

Nick discussed about the digital transformation global trends and how the Cloud transformation impacts digital transformation by improving livelihood of citizens, increasing government service efficiency, social governance capability and enterprise development.

Zhang Liman, chief executive of Huawei Myanmar, also shared his idea that the government should play as practitioners, motivators, and regulators with respect to achieve a digital nation. He urged the government to prioritise promotion of how to realise digitalization before launching a package of digital initiatives.

“The government’s mindset for enhancing its capabilities through digital technology will determine its responsibility as a practitioner of digitalisation,” he said.

“How governments pursue the building of a favorable environment for digital development will determine its status as a motivator for the digital ecosystem. And the responsibilities governments assume in guiding and supervising digital development will determine their roles as a regulator for digital development.”

Zhang urged to embrace digital development so that the government can improve governance, create an environment conducive to development, and regulate flexibly and effectively.
