Next-Generation Enterprise Software + Data & Knowledge Governance + Large Models: Making AI Application in Enterprises a Reality
With the rapid development of AI technology — particularly the surge of interest sparked by DeepSeek during the Spring Festival this year — AI in Chinese enterprises has shifted from the education phase to the application phase. AI integration across industries is accelerating, becoming a key driver of new productivity in this era.
To this end, the Chinese government has launched the “AI+” initiative, recently approved by the State Council. The policy emphasizes leveraging China’s strong industrial system, vast market, and rich application scenarios to accelerate AI adoption, deepen integration across sectors, and promote a cycle of innovation driving application and application fueling innovation.
Enterprises, as the main arena for AI adoption, are facing unprecedented opportunities. Wang Wenjing, Chairman and CEO of Yonyou, noted four forces driving AI adoption in Chinese enterprises:
China’s leading digital intelligence business environment
Breakthroughs by Chinese tech firms in foundational AI technologies such as large models
Strong enthusiasm for AI adoption among Chinese enterprises
Active government promotion
Together, these factors position Chinese enterprises to lead globally in AI application.
Years ago, Yonyou pioneered the concept of “Digital Intelligence” (digitalization + intelligence) and developed the “Business Online – Data-Driven – Intelligent Operation” capability maturity model. Today, with the AI boom, more enterprises are moving toward the “intelligent operation” stage.
For enterprises, the goals of AI adoption are clear: efficiency improvement, cost reduction, precision management, and risk control. Achieving this requires three key actions:
Upgrading to next-generation enterprise software for digital intelligence
Strengthening data and knowledge governance
Integrating or deploying mainstream and vertical AI models
AI is also revolutionizing enterprise software:
Shifting from execution and collaboration to autonomous decision-making, planning, and action
Models (MaaS) becoming a core strategic component
Intelligent Agents emerging as new product forms
Interaction evolving from “menu-driven” to “natural collaboration”
Business models potentially shifting toward outcome-based pricing
AI empowering R&D, delivery, and services with high-productivity tools
According to Wang Wenjing, Chinese enterprise software has already demonstrated global competitiveness after years of innovation and transformation. AI adoption presents another opportunity for China to leap ahead — much like mobile internet platforms and new energy vehicles. Just as SAP and Oracle once globalized the best practices of German manufacturing and U.S. services, in the digital intelligence era, Chinese enterprise software and intelligent service providers will bring China’s innovations to the world.
At the conference, Piero Scaruffi, a well-known U.S. AI expert and Director of the Silicon Valley Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, stressed that enterprises worldwide must evolve from “+AI” (embedded AI) to “AI+” (AI-native). He emphasized that processes, data, and models are the three foundations for enterprise AI adoption, and that software — not hardware — is the true enabler.

New “Super Groups”:
More than just IM groups — they integrate human employees with digital employees, create shared knowledge bases, and feature assistants for project tracking, summaries, and reminders, redefining enterprise collaboration.
“YouZhiKu” Knowledge Companion:
A RAG-based solution integrating unstructured data into workflows, enabling intelligent document management, search, Q&A, and content generation.
Agent Building Platform:
Enables business users to build agents in under 10 minutes via no-code visual interfaces. Connects to over 4,000 APIs and integrates with finance, HR, supply chain, and more. Supports enterprise-level permissions, compliance, and multi-agent teamwork.
Enterprise Data Cloud:
Built on four layers — platform, data, model, and application — it transforms private enterprise data into enterprise intelligence, creating business value.
End-to-End Process Integration:
Covers finance, HR, supply chain, and 10 major domains with 14 first-level, 97 second-level, 547 third-level, and over 2,000 fourth-level process scenarios. Provides a complete map for digital operations, ensuring scenario-wide and process-wide AI enablement.
Through its iuap foundation — spanning application, data, AI, cloud, development, and integration platforms — BIP 5 eliminates silos of applications, data, and intelligence, ensuring consistent architecture, data standards, and security.
This native integration is Yonyou’s unique global advantage, enabling enterprises to overcome “application chimneys, data islands, and fragmented AI.”
