Deloitte & Ali Cloud

Why do we cooperate?

Faced by lower efficiency and profit margins, large and medium-sized enterprises, especially those in highly monopolized industries, need to leverage cloud technology to improve efficiency and enhance synergy among enterprises and even among industries. However, they are generally lacking in experience of applying cloud technology.
