Losses surge kingdee yongyou software industry depression take "cloud" transformation

"This year was not easy this year, mobile dvr was a year of mixed feelings. "A few days ago, Xu shaochun President of kingdee international software group in" 2012 China management · global forum "on the remarks, revealed the plight of traditional management software industry right now.

Since the beginning of last year, kingdee software (China) days of struggling, was a loss of 286 million dollars in the first three quarter of this year. In fact, not only kingdee, UFIDA, jiuqi, wide differentials exist and other management software companies are mired in losses surge.

In order to hold back, software industry leading companies have separated the cloud concept products, in an attempt to turn the depressed, make the transition.

Performance dismal

As an ERP (enterprise resource management system) software represents, "kingdee South" and "North of yongyou" guiding the Chinese enterprise management software for nearly 20 years. In 2012, the two software giants are encountering performance at Waterloo.

Kingdee international announced third-quarter results showed that its wholly-owned subsidiary of kingdee software (China) third-quarter loss of 286 million dollars. UFIDA Software (600,588, unit) situation is not optimistic, the 2012 loss of 131 million dollars in the third quarter. This is the yongyou software since 2001 listing, one-quarter of revenue growth for the first time. The earnings came out, UFIDA's share price fell two business days in a row.

Thecar dvr other hand, although some companies shifted from buying ERP software relatively inexpensive collaborative OA (Office Automation) software, but OA software seems to escape the nightmare. Gold OA software representatives and software reported its operating profit in the year to-3.6 million Yuan, relying on non-operating income (of a State sales tax rebate) 4.35 million to turn around its cash flow from operating activities was negative.

In addition, the a-share listed companies in the management software industry, its software for a long time (002279, unit) three quarterly reports show a loss of 35.2274 million Yuan this year, net profit fell 1232.08%; the Hang Seng e-(600,570, unit) net profit has dropped by 19.13%.

Analysts believe that as ufsoft, kingdee business mainly in small and medium sized customers, affected by the macro-economic impact, when SMEs significantly reduce software expenditures, will directly affect the profitability of the company and secondly, traditional ERP model, being subjected to cloud computing, social software, mobile Internet, and other new models and the impact of the new application. In addition, labor costs increase rapidly, the business model is not reasonable and led the traditional software business survival increasingly difficult.

Cloud concepts can become "grasping at straws"

In the case of the global economy is not good, runs are considered economic "barometer" of how to deal with the management software industry?

"For the current situation, (the traditional software management) enterprise in a positive and conducive; kingdee, in essence, the past few years has been in transition. "The Business Journal reporter Xu shaochun said in an interview," kingdee companies the last two years, in particular the difficulties encountered over the past year, I think the kingdee is a proactive adjustment and transformation. ”

In fact, the traditional management software, who had several attempts to restructure. As early as 2010, UFIDA, kingdee set Wei library network, the network of peers, by the ordinary installing the software to a SAAS model (software mode of operation services) in transition. Due to different product forms, business delivery model, Wei was forced to close library network, network of peers is also struggling.

After going through throes of transition to SAAS, Xu shaochun reconsidered, "we have now clearly recognized that transition to a cloud management is a subsidiary of kingdee clear strategic direction of the company-the use of social networking and mobile Internet, cloud computing the three emerging technologies, cloud management helps customers in transition. ”

Xu shaochun described the strategy as "butterfly strategies": left wing is the leading product, ERP, the right wing is the cloud management service. By kingdee Twitter upgrade of enterprise social networking product--"House" were seen as wings on the head as a whole.

"Two wings complement traditional ERP and cloud services integration, upgrade social function. "He confessed," it's product strategyvehicle dvr for the next three years, is also the company's overall strategy. ”

Another giant UFIDA also announced in May based on a new model of cloud computing and mobile Internet for business transformation; and, non-public offering of shares to raise through the private placement plan for 1.88 billion dollars, for a next-generation enterprise and Government applications, UFIDA cloud services (Beijing) outsourcing services center, UFIDA (Nanchang) Centre for three major construction projects.

Cloud computing could be the traditional management software industry "resort"?

"Cloud management will lead the next round of innovation throughout the IT industry, especially new growth in enterprise management software solutions. "Xu shaochun optimistically described.

Analysts have expressed concern over the widespread: Judging from the industry on the environment, the traditional management software is facing a transition to a SAAS model and cloud computing mark success in transition will have significant implications for future enterprise management software.

In fact, many challenges to cloud service transformation. At present, the major IT Giants and Internet vendors have set foot in the area of transition, 800 passengers, Ming Road, North forest and other IT vendors have launched their enterprise social networking products, competitive market.

One market analyst pointed out, traditional management software vendors trying to core earnings of cloud computing as the next point, but did not have the core technology; with cloud computing also needs to be backed by the strength of the product research and development.

From the customer perspective, in collaboration with Dean Liu Guquan believes that purchase software products in the company's balance sheet is displayed as "assets", but the purchase of cloud services will be shown as "expenses", declining corporate profits on the report. Thus, customers prefer to buy software (assets) instead of buying services, which would be the difficulties of transition management software.

In the short term, cloud services models difficult to bring tangible results. With this in mind, kingdee Group Senior Vice President Chen Dengkun has also confirmed in an interview: at present, cloud's home remains a free andmobile dvr open platform, accumulation of the future as the number of clients, providing value-added services. "By moving the traditional ERP applications for sales, keeping customers ' purchasing power, this is cloud management at present, the main revenue model. ”
