Leading Finance with Intelligence: From Ambition to Action — Operationalizing AI and Data Intelligence in Global Financial Transformation

The core proposition facing global financial institutions today is how AI can truly transition from Proof of Concept (PoC) to large-scale implementation. The Huawei RONGHAI Financial Partner Program serves as a critical bridge connecting world-leading technology with local financial practices. By deeply integrating proven expertise—particularly "Eastern AI" scenario implementation practices driven by the rapid development of Chinese open-source large models—with localized requirements, the program is reshaping the collaborative paradigm of global financial digitalization. Through the collective power of the ecosystem, AI is being transformed from an isolated "technological vision" into scalable "business value".

Moving from "Trying AI" to "Operationalizing AI": Reshaping the Hyper-Personalized Service Paradigm

The essence of the intelligent era is hyper-personalization, and financial institutions are firmly shifting from "Trying AI" to "Operationalizing AI". Financial services are undergoing a structural transformation:

• Service Models: Shifting from passive GUI (Graphic User Interface) response to proactive LUI (Language User Interface) guidance.

• Collaboration Models: Evolving from "Human + Tool" to "Human + AI Colleague," initiating the "One Person, One Team" paradigm.

• Infrastructure: Advancing toward a dual-center model of "General Computing + Intelligent Computing".

Huawei continues to support the flourishing of various AI large models in the financial industry while pushing AI from assistant tasks into core business operations. Currently, Huawei has implemented over 500 application scenarios across all financial sectors.

Full-Stack AI Capabilities via Hardware-Software Integration: Bridging the "Last Mile" of AI Scenario Implementation

The greatest obstacle to achieving AI implementation and large-scale operationalization lies in bridging the "last mile" of scenario integration. Huawei provides all-scenario AI capabilities, from the computing foundation to the Agent platform, supporting financial institutions in achieving localized architectural deployment and comprehensive security governance.

Relying on the Huawei RONGHAI Financial Partner Program, Huawei collaborates with top-tier financial industry partners like Yusys. By conducting prior solution construction and "pre-integration" based on industry scenarios such as intelligent marketing, intelligent risk control, and intelligent operations, we accelerate the transition of AI solutions from "available" to "applicable".

From "Storing Data" to "Computing Data": Driving the Leap from Data Platforms to "Knowledge Platforms"

The core of achieving the data and AI flywheel is being "Data Ready for AI"; data platforms must evolve into "knowledge platforms" to truly drive AI. Huawei breaks down data silos through a Data Lakehouse architecture (DWS + MRS) and achieves storage-compute synergy relying on high-performance all-flash storage and cloud-native data warehousing.

Taking the intelligent credit audit scenario developed by Huawei and Yusys as an example, the "Data Lakehouse" architecture supports the shift from "post-event reporting" to "real-time decisioning". This has shortened traditional approval cycles from "weeks" to "seconds". Furthermore, based on this architecture, Huawei continues to accelerate data value performance in hyper-personalized marketing and precision risk control scenarios, supporting the financial industry in building a digital blueprint for real-time perception and intelligent decision-making.

RONGHAI Financial Partner Program Joins Hands for a "Four Win" Model: Driving Global Upgrades with Proven Expertise

Huawei continues to leverage the Huawei RONGHAI Financial Partner Program, joining forces with over 150 global partners who possess rich industry experience and innovative capabilities. Together, we build resilient and intelligent financial scenario-based joint solutions, sharing proven transformation expertise globally to assist in the digital and intelligent upgrade of the financial industry.

Simultaneously, Huawei actively promotes the "Four Win" cooperation model (Huawei + Solution Partners like Yusys + Local SIs + End Customers). While strengthening architectural localization and security governance, we collaborate deeply with leading local SIs in overseas markets—such as DataOne in Thailand. This ensures that leading AI scenario solutions truly take root in the local financial ecosystem, helping customers achieve comprehensive innovation upgrades from the foundation to the application.

Rooted in Practice, Co-building the Ecosystem

Facing the AI wave, we must not underestimate AI's long-term strategic value, yet we must remain grounded, steadily achieving transformation through the implementation of real-world scenarios.

Huawei Digital Finance BU will continue to work with partners to deepen our global presence through the Huawei RONGHAI Financial Partner Program. Together, we will build a smarter, more inclusive, and more resilient digital finance ecosystem. We believe that every step from ambition to action is constructing a bright future for digital finance.
