After the outbreak of the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic, Tencent, as a leading Internet company in China, did its utmost to do its utmost, especially to play its technical advantages and fight the epidemic.
At the beginning of the epidemic on January 24, Tencent Charity Foundation donated 300 million yuan (RMB, the same below) to urgently purchase urgently needed medical supplies to support the frontline. Subsequently, billions of "war epidemic funds" were gradually established for use in fields such as medical undertakings, technical support, and the care of war epidemic figures. Taking advantage of technological advantages, we quickly launched the WeChat "real-time epidemic situation check" and "Focus Diagnosis" maps, Tencent's epidemic prevention "health code", and used the "Tencent for the Village" WeChat public account to promptly promote epidemic prevention information in more than 15,000 villages across the country.
In Tencent's "epidemic" campaign, providing a convenient "Tencent Meeting" (a cloud video conferencing product) for many individuals and companies in the "cloud" life and work in the epidemic is quite eye-catching.
On March 30th, Eastern Time, the United Nations announced in its headquarters in New York that it had reached a global partnership with Tencent. Tencent will provide comprehensive technical solutions for the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the United Nations. Thousands of online meetings of the United Nations will be held through the "Tencent Meeting", WeChat and Tencent simultaneous interpretation. At this time, it was more than a hundred days before the Tencent conference was released.
The epidemic has caused many people to “fight their feet” in their homes, and there is no need to resort to online platforms for teaching, office, and talks. Zoom, a video cloud conference application from the United States, has subsequently become a global star product, and the Tencent conference officially released on December 25 last year was a "dark horse" that was killed in the epidemic. Not only did it rank among the top three in China ’s Apple Store free app download list in February this year, its international version of VooVMeeting has also been launched in more than 100 countries and regions around the world, and has been favored by the United Nations.
"The epidemic has brought the online office era, which may have come with the popularization of 5G, five years ahead of schedule." Qian Min, head of the Tencent Cloud Office Collaborative Product Center, introduced in an exclusive interview with a reporter from China News Service, which made many "small "Bai" initially tested the "cloud meeting" and gave birth to new application scenarios such as cloud signing and cloud investment promotion. To this end, the "Tencent Meeting" opened free unlimited 300-person meeting service during the epidemic period, and added functions such as expression barrage and meeting management. Its "virtual background" function can also add photos such as corporate signing walls as a background. This lowers the threshold for use and enhances the sense of presence and ceremony of the meeting.
According to Tencent's statistics, after the epidemic slowed down, tens of thousands of companies used the Tencent meeting every week to achieve "online construction." Cloud signing, cloud bidding, cloud interview, cloud training and other cloud collaborative practices are becoming a new trend. Recently, Wanzhou District of Chongqing Municipality completed the “Cloud Signing” of 14 investment projects with the help of the “Tencent Meeting”, with a total investment of RMB 10.93 billion. Hainan Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pioneer District Administration, through the Tencent conference platform during the outbreak, negotiated and signed agreements on the construction of artificial intelligence medical big data center and international medical and pharmaceutical development sharing platform.
Qian Min believes that there is a special cause of the epidemic in the current "hot" online office, but it is not unsustainable. "The epidemic has brought the trend of remote office work in China earlier and also cultivated users' online office habits." She believes that there may not be so many people meeting online after the epidemic, but when the digital overlay industry Internet wave, the development of collaborative office has become a Kind of inevitable.
"Online office attempts in the epidemic have inspired daily problems, such as cross-enterprise communication, to be inspired by cost-reducing and efficiency-enhancing solutions. In the future, there will be more online and offline combined office explorations, with great potential." Qian Min said by example Beijing Metro Corporation, with 50,000 employees and 450 subway stations, used the "Tencent Meeting" and corporate WeChat remote collaboration to start up to 142 large-scale meetings a day when the work was resumed, which is even more efficient than offline meetings.
However, during the outbreak, the "Tencent Meeting" was far more than just a remote office software. Many medical teams assisting Hubei have used the Tencent conference to conduct remote consultations with the headquarters hospitals. Tsinghua University and other schools have used the Tencent conference to carry out graduate thesis defense and other teaching and scientific research work. More interestingly, some people use it to open "singing room" karaoke with friends, and there are couples from different places who use it to "check online". "Tencent Meeting" has become a "life on the cloud" application serving all people. Some observations believe that seemingly serious business software can be "played bad" by netizens in China. In addition to the inclusiveness of technology, it is inseparable from Tencent's deep understanding of "social".
In this regard, Qian Min said that the original intention of the product is to connect, and provide efficient communication and collaboration support through flexible connection methods, and it is also very happy to see innovation and magical use. "We are very happy to see that this product can be discovered by users in new usage scenarios." She said that in the future, the "Tencent Meeting" will continue to improve product capabilities, connect to a wider range of office collaboration scenarios, and make people The room can be connected and collaborated more flexibly through the “Tencent Meeting”.
