Introduction
The High-tech Zone, established in March 1991, is recognized as one of the first national high-tech zones approved by the State Council. It covers an area of 134.67 square kilometers and has a resident population of 442,000, ranking 25th among national high-tech zones, with 18 national honors to its name. The area boasts a convenient and efficient three-dimensional transportation network, including railways, roads, and air travel, creating a “one-hour transportation circle.” With 32,000 registered enterprises, the zone has developed three dominant industries: biomedicine, electronic information, and new chemical materials, showcasing a substantial industrial scale. In terms of technological innovation, the High-tech Zone has established a comprehensive incubation system and is home to numerous innovation platforms and elite talent. Government services are both efficient and accessible, supported by an integrated service system that leads the province in approval efficiency. Additionally, the zone features well-developed public service facilities in healthcare, education, consumer services, and recreational activities.
Challenges
The high-tech zone mainly faces three major challenges during the implementation of government projects, which hinder its high-quality development.
Challenge 1: Highly customized demands
The customized demands for projects in the high-tech zone are high, involving 10 categories and 94 requirements. If the traditional customized development model is used, the labor costs are extremely high, the delivery cycle is very long, and the time pressure is immense. At the same time, there needs to be a high degree of connectivity between each application, which places extremely high demands on the team’s execution and collaboration capabilities. This easily leads to a decrease in project quality or failure to complete on time.
Challenge 2: Isolated Data Island and information security
The issue of isolated data island is common in government projects, which hinders the sharing and integration of data among different systems. Due to the closed nature of each system, data is isolated within independent systems, leading to a low utilization rate of data and difficulty in fully realizing its value. In addition, isolated data island may also lead to data inconsistency or duplication, which in turn affects the accuracy of decisions based on this data. Meanwhile, with the continuous advancement of network technology, the risks of cybersecurity threats and data breaches are becoming increasingly severe. The high-tech zone’s systems involve a large amount of sensitive data and information, and once this data is leaked, it will cause significant damage.
Challenge 3: Pressure from technical iteration and personnel training
As a frontier in technological innovation, the high-tech zone is very fast in adopting new technologies and applications. However, before introducing the Nocoly HAP platform, whenever new technologies emerged, the team faced the challenge of updating the technological stack. This not only means investing significant resources in technical restructuring but also involves a new round of technical training for existing staff to ensure they can proficiently master and apply it in practical work. Frequent technical iterations and urgent personnel training needs have placed a heavy burden on the technical team of the high-tech zone, while also slowing down the conversion of new technologies into actual productivity and affecting the overall innovation capacity and competitiveness of the high-tech zone.
