First Huawei Developers Conference (#HDC2015) coupled with Huawei’s recent announcement to train 10,000 cloud engineers signals intent to challenge traditional ICT vendors providing enterprise cloud computing, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and Telco NFV SDN solutions
Huawei will be hosting the first Huawei Developers Conference in Shenzhen, China. The two day conference, which opens on October 19, 2015, is expected to attract over 2000 developers and will outline Huawei’s strategy for the Enterprise Cloud, Internet Things (IoT) and Telco Capability Cloud.
Trillions in shareholder value tied to embracing software development community
Bottom line: Billions, if not trillions, of future shareholder value is tied to carriers, OTT service providers and ICT vendors embracing software developer community.
Competition for scarce developer community resources is increasing
Developer community is critical to longer term value creation for carrier, ICT vendor and OTT (Facebook, Google, Twitter) and their investors
Over the next 5 – 7 years, billions of ICT (enterprise and telco) related software and service revenues are at stake. Traditional software vendors (i.e Amdocs, IBM, HP and Oracle are now competing directly with traditional hardware vendors (i.e. Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia, Alcatel Lucent, Cisco, Juniper) to help communications service providers (wireless, wireline, cable) compete with over the top (OTT) service providers
Huawei, a telecommunications equipment maker with over 170,000 employees and $28 billion of first half 2015 revenue (a 30 percent increase over same period a year ago), is aggressively expanding software investment in cloud computing, NFV, SDN, Internet of Things, and Telco Customer Experience capabilities
Overview of Huawei Developers Conference
In addition to 100+ technical “open architecture” sessions on Huawei’s cloud, network pipe and device domains, conference will include:
13 panel sessions in which industry elites share their success stories from acts of co-innovation with Huawei
6000-square-meter “Innovation Factory” where interactive demos and hands-on labs will inspire innovation and creativity
Launch of the Huawei Developer Community and its end-to-end technical support system for developers
Developers’ Sphere initiatives, where we’ll discuss how to build a specialized component for developers in Huawei’s Enterprise Cloud, Internet of Things, and Telco Capability Cloud ecosystem
Fun interactive events, like the Developers’ Salon, Developers’ Night, and other activities designed to build a more tightly-knit developers community
