Domestic big data industry is hindered. Alibaba plans to train 50,000 professionals in three years

In recent years, big data has become a hot word that has been widely used, and has frequently appeared in the strategies of major business giants. Some even believe that "whoever has the data will rule the world."

Domestic giants are actively preparing for the arrival of the "DT era", especially Alibaba's senior management who have always talked about "data". Alibaba Group Chairman Jack Ma once pointed out that "Ali's most valuable asset is data."

  Alibaba completes internal infrastructure construction
"In the next few years, we will turn all business into data and all data into business." This is Jack Ma's vision, but it is not easy to achieve businessization. There are five areas related to big data: infrastructure, data modeling, data indicator system, data strategy system, and business, said Liu Song, general manager of Alibaba Cloud Business.
Now Alibaba is making rapid progress in infrastructure. Liu Song said that Alibaba has more than 400 chief data officers who have connected all of Alibaba's data and completed their mission internally. Now they are starting to provide services externally and strive to build a big data ecosystem. However, the lack of talent in big data and cloud computing in China has restricted the development of Alibaba's big data ecosystem strategy. Liu Song gave an example, last year, Kuaidi Taxi sought big data-related services from Alibaba, from basic services to big data architecture, traffic data models, indicator systems, and business strategies, all of which required people from Alibaba.   In the face of an extreme shortage of big data talent, Alibaba has turned its attention to universities. Last year, Alibaba launched the Tianchi Big Data Competition, opening up Taobao and Tmall data to more than 7,000 university teams. In the end, a team of university students in Hong Kong used cloud computing and big data technology to improve the accuracy of Tmall data by 15%.

  Alibaba's "big data ecosystem" extends to universities   Today, Alibaba Cloud and Huike Education Group launched the Aliyun University Cooperation Program (AUCP), jointly opening cloud computing and data science majors at eight universities to build a new ecosystem of Internet + education.   As the world's leading cloud computing service provider, Alibaba Cloud will provide cloud computing, big data, engineers, and ecosystem partners in the "University Cooperation Program AUCP". Huike Education Group will build the "Alibaba Cloud Academy" on its online education platform "Kai Ke Ba".   This time, eight universities including Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Zhejiang University, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Nanjing University, Wuhan University, and South China University of Technology have settled in the Alibaba Cloud University Cooperation Program AUCP. In the next three years, Alibaba Cloud and Huike Education Group will complete the opening of professional courses in 100 universities across the country, cover cloud computing and data science education in 300 universities through the "Internet + Education" model, and train and certify 50,000 cloud computing and data science workers.   Liu Song said that in the "University Cooperation Program AUCP", universities and students can obtain resources from Alibaba Cloud. Senior engineers from Alibaba Cloud participate in the lectures as "visiting professors", and the course videos are open to the public for free on "Kai Ke Ba". They also actively promote partners in the ecosystem to provide internship and employment opportunities for students.   Through this model, Alibaba will cultivate a large number of big data and cloud computing talents, and accelerate the arrival of the "DT era". Liu Song revealed that the university cooperation plan, as an important part of Alibaba Cloud's ecosystem, will promote Alibaba's entry into the cloud ecosystem and accelerate the construction of the entire domestic cloud ecosystem in the next three to four years.   Moreover, from a global perspective, Alibaba’s next mission is to help small and medium-sized enterprises in the United States innovate and enable them to serve China’s middle class. These companies also need the support of domestic mobile Internet and big data-related technical talents.   In the "Internet +" era, the value of data is highlighted. Some people believe that 30% of the industry is technology and 70% is data. More and more companies are beginning to focus on data collection and storage. However, there are few big data talents in China, which has slowed down the development of the big data industry. Cultivating big data-related talents has become the most urgent issue. No wonder Liu Song said, "Today is just the beginning, and it will continue in the future. The university cooperation plan will have a far-reaching impact on the development of domestic big data in the next ten years."
