In terms of business, greater capacity improvement has been achieved: 1. better meeting the needs of different customer groups for individual broadcasting businesses; 2. supporting more flexible accounting management rules; 3. providing online and offline services such as more convenient business inquiries and products ordering; 4. full integration of BOM domains for government and enterprise businesses, realizing the integrated support and management capabilities of pre-sales, in-sales, and after-sales services for “business-finance networks”; 5. strengthening of monitoring, analysis, and operations capabilities to achieve a more agile service provisioning.
