After the successful Chinese Hitech & eCommerce last month, VCNOffice and Capital Club co-hosted another striking event, the China Hi-Tech & Telecom Night on August 29, which was held to strengthen communication within the hi-tech sector. Approximately 60 seasoned hi-tech professionals in Beijing gathered to discuss on the topic Convergence in Telecommunication. Convergence in Telecommunications is a key development in the voice, video, and data communications areas. It holds great promises for the launch of a whole host of new services and products. Other than opportunities in eCommerce &. Commerce, however, there are technical as well as regulatory issues for its usage in China. China Telecommunication is still an unexplored virgin, compared with advanced countries due to its strict industry regulation. Lured by the broad market, people are closely watching when private enterprise can be allowed to hold telecom business license, when China Telecom can be divided, and when foreign investment can be allowed to run in this market. Dr. Kan Ka Li, the star speaker of the night, brought us his expertise in the field. As ex-head of Central Policy Unit, Ministry of Post and Telecommunications, as well as senior executives to a number of telecom firms, Dr. Li is even directly involved in the official decision of China Telecom Transform. China Telecom will be divided sooner or later, but we can’t expect it divided within a short time, he said, It is not so certain that broadband will spread quickly, China consumers have not reached the level we expected. Our other valuable contribution was from Dr. John Li, Digital China and Mr. Michael Xu, B-MIP. Dr. Li described Digital China’s blooming vigor with his company e-strategy (Digital China, listed at the HK Stock market last year as a spin off of Legend Group, has become an signature player in the China hi-tech industry), while Michael showed us his unique insight in internet multi-media services. China has won the passport to WTO.
Telecommunication will be one of the key sectors in the whole
transformation package. It is important for both VCNOffice and
other hi-tech enterprises to put the hands together to mine the
new resources. Internationalization Meeting, Society of Technical Communication, Cupertino, California, August 14, 2001 Jinzy Zhu, a seasoned software professional of VCNOffice Corporation, attended the internationalization meeting in Cupertino, California, as speaker on August 14. The meeting was organized by STC – a Society of Technical Communicators, CA, USA. Technical veterans joined together at the meeting to discuss how to localize our software for Chinese users. Jinzy contributed her points on the topic with her impressive presentation. Successful localization is not only to translate your product into Chinese language, but also adapt it to match Chinese culture and market, Jinzy said. Based on Jinzy’s statement, full localization includes: ¡¡¡¡¡¤What
is software localization in China? In coordination with Beijing Capital Club, VCNOffice produced the Chinese Telecom & eCommerce night on July 31, 2001. It aimed to facilitate communication and cooperation among IT entrepreneurs and its business partners. People from Legend China, Digital China, PriceWaterhouse, Chengwei Ventures LLC, and other famous Beijing companies joined together to discuss how to further develop telecom & eCommerce in China. A good business model will act as a map, guiding to success, Mr. George Cheung, VCNOffice Managing Partner, VCNOffice, said in his speech on how to develop a business model in China.
