Alibaba Group announced the launch of “A100,” a strategic partnership program that offers companies a holistic one-stop solution to accelerate their digital transformation. Members of A100 will develop a longstanding working relationship with Alibaba businesses across multiple functions and platforms.
The name, “A100,” symbolizes Alibaba’s goal of providing digitized solutions to a large number of companies.
The A100 program is built on the “Alibaba Operating System”. The creation of the Alibaba Operating System is a part of a company’s progression from an e-commerce provider to an integrated global technology company. As Alibaba has expanded its business from pure e-commerce into digital entertainment and local services, the power of its infrastructure has grown to cover sales, logistics, supply chain optimization, payments, marketing and a wide range of supporting services all powered by cloud-based technologies. With those cloud-computing capabilities, the infrastructure is able to process a massive flow of data, offering insights and analytics instrumental to better meeting customer needs and growing their business. New Retail is a key interface through which businesses can tap into the Alibaba Operating System.
Alibaba is now offering the Alibaba Operating System to companies of all sizes through the A100 program.
