The software company I used to work for was a software company, but because Xi 'an's market was small, it was inconvenient to promote it in the whole country. Finally, the company made a strategic decision to move its headquarters to Guangzhou. This is also an obvious example, because many companies just put R&D in Xi 'an, but their headquarters are in Beijing or Shanghai.
There are also a large number of companies that are purely technical. These companies just sell some components and form other people's systems, which users can't see.
This is why there are so many software companies in Xi 'an, but it is difficult to see the corresponding software products in the market.
As a human resource service provider in this industry, I would like to talk about some views.
1.Xi An's software industry is characterized by outsourcing.
Xi High-tech Zone has Xi 'an Software Park, Software New Town and other parks, where a large number of software enterprises have gathered. Among them, there are many odm enterprises around Huawei, many of which are not local to Xi 'an, but from Xi 'an Branch, R&D Center or subsidiaries of Beishangguang. For example, Stewalker, He Run Software, iSoftStone, ChinaSoft International, Shanghai Yibao, Shenzhen Zhuo Yi, Meg, Sanqi Communication, etc., mainly engaged in the outsourcing of Huawei terminals, big data, cloud and ODM software, or bank software, or software outsourcing in Europe, America and Japan. Few enterprises in Xi can obtain these software services.
Such enterprises account for the majority, which will make people feel that there are many software enterprises, but few enterprises really belong to Xi 'an.
2.Xi 'an local software enterprises are small in scale, mostly industrial software, app and enterprise system software.
For example, some focus on the power industry, as well as focusing on the fiscal and taxation financial industry, food and drug industry, smart cities, industrial informationization, and military data link management. These software users are all industry customers, and their application fields are narrow and unknown to the general audience.
Some of these software companies do system integration, some do matching, and some do small systems.
I won't mention the specific name here.
3.Xi 'an's software companies need to have big dreams, and the industrial space is still relatively large.
Xi 'an Software is rich in talents, categories and levels. At present, in addition to artificial intelligence and big data, the number of software talents in various industries is good, and the quality of talents such as underlying software, embedded software, application software, architect level, project management and product manager is good. There are more than 200,000 software talents in the High-tech Zone.
You may not see a lot of Xi 'an software at present, because it is in the dcs of thermal power plants, satellites, vehicle terminals, radars and banks, and a function of the mobile phone you use comes from the R&D engineer of Xi 'an software enterprise.
I hope Xi 'an local software company will fight for breath and become stronger and stronger!
There are indeed many software companies in Xi 'an, and it is really rare to see the software developed by Xi 'an in the market. This is because most companies that develop software in Xi outsource services.
In Xi High-tech Zone, where software companies are concentrated, software outsourcing was once regarded as the main business, attracting all kinds of software outsourcing service cooperation facing the world.
Although this model has solved many employment problems, it has also caused many problems, such as weak brand, heavy dependence on upstream manufacturers and low profits. Just like Foxconn, which has been OEM for Apple for so many years, its own brand products are few and far between, and most of its profits can only be realized by a lot of labor costs.
So Xi 'an's software development level is not bad, but there is no independent brand.
Xi 'an software development enterprises occupy an important position in the world and have a high level. Because of the different division of labor, they all do OEM or entrusted business. Especially in equipment driver and application software, it is the top in China, such as CNC machine tools, 3D printing, optical processing, flight control, radar scanning analysis and so on. This is far from the general people's livelihood, but it has a great impact on the support of the country's comprehensive strength! Of course, the reason why software enterprises gather in Xi 'an is the effect of more universities and research institutes and the gathering of talents. At the same time, compared with cities such as Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the cost of human resources is relatively low. Xi 'an's software talents are estimated to be 1.5 ~ 0.2 million, and the industry is the most concentrated area in China, but there are more than 200 enterprises, and there are really few large enterprises. On the other hand, the large number of small enterprises also shows that they have strong vitality, their own characteristics and great development potential.
As an individual user, your use of the software is limited. Software is not a personal mobile app, nor a personal PC app, but for the whole society and industry. Xi 'an has good conditions for software research and development, and there are also many large-scale software research and development enterprises, which are oriented to military industry, national defense, finance, service and other industries. In your life, there are a lot of software that you don't directly operate, but you are also using it, such as the accounting system of banks and the communication system of operators, but you can't perceive it, and Xi 'an has a large software research and development company.
Although there are many software companies in Xi 'an, few really do software development, and most of them do business around software, such as software packaging, advertising and so on, so there are very few software developed in Xi 'an!
Except for Samsung, Huawei, ZTE and Xi 'an, the rest are research institutes, oh, and the Bank of China. You really seldom use these softwares, and the rest are outsourced [covering your face].
There are many branches of foreign companies, including some foreign companies, and local enterprises are workshop-style and it is difficult to expand.
Most of them are after-sales and pre-sales sales, a small number of development belongs to outsourcing or operation and maintenance, and very few are developed by themselves.
