After nearly 20 years of business accumulation, YUANNIAN has a better understanding of enterprise management and application, which has built a competitive moat of professional capabilities and given it a prominent advantage in the wave of digitization. In 2019, Yuannian launched its strategic transformation, focusing on intelligent finance and data center and strengthening the research and development of a new generation of intelligent sharing platform and intelligent management platform. This marks the official entry of Yuannian from the management accounting market into the broader management software market and the blue ocean of industrial internet. As Han Xiangdong said: "Leave the small river for the broad sea". The management accounting business has established a professional and dedicated image for YUANNIAN among various groups such as enterprises, governments, colleges and universities, and the industry, and has also laid a good foundation for its smooth entry into the data analytics business and intelligent sharing business. YUANNIAN's pioneering acquisition of IBM Cognos source code in 2016 has provided a fundamental guarantee that it will significantly improve the performance of management accounting and data analytics. The operational speed and efficiency of YUANNIAN products is competitive among major international brands, which greatly enhances the confidence of large group companies in choosing YUANNIAN management accounting and data analysis platform. Fully equipped with intelligent sharing and data center business, it provides enterprises with a new IT architecture in the digital era while making the future path of Yuannian more imaginative. Based on all of the above, a number of well-known investment institutions have reached out to it one after another in recent years.

Seizing the trend of industry development is a premise for business operation, and customer-centric business philosophy is an important foundation for sustainable development. Due to the increasing emphasis on refinement management, there is a constant demand for data analysis business, the analysis dimension increases, the analysis penetration deepens, and the requirements for suppliers' capability become higher and higher. Continuous and stable customer management has built a competitive moat for YUANNIAN's services. Over the years, a number of new customers have converted into long-term regular customers which have become YUANNIAN's stable and reliable cash flow business. Strong R&D capability is the core competitiveness of a technology company. Over the years, YUANNIAN has always insisted on independent research and development, not only developing the first management accounting suite with independent intellectual property rights in China, but also through the comprehensive and in-depth application of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing and mobile Internet. Relying on PaaS and SaaS platforms, we are the first to launch an independent and controllable intelligent sharing and intelligent management platform in the industry, covering the software products from management accounting to the whole process from transaction to analysis, and building a one-stop platform for automation, intelligence, online, real-time and scenario-based digital operation requirements.
