The revenue structure continues to improve, and the data business and credit business continue to gain strength.
Data business. Guided by the “T+F+N” data strategy, the company continues to improve its digital capabilities and improve its data center product line through the support of digital innovation technologies such as knowledge maps, AI, big models, and flow computing. At the same time, the company's deep experience and accumulation in the digitization of the financial industry has begun to integrate and support penetrating financial scenarios in other industries such as healthcare, government affairs, and automobiles. In the field of data business, the products of the TanData Explorer Data Platform family have been implemented in more than 100 customer projects. The company also increased its investment in data asset product development and initially formed the TanEasy Exploration Data Asset Family. “Easy to ask”, which is based on a large model, began training in interpreting policy provisions, questions and answers relating to regulatory ticket indicators, and preparing analytical reports. After the industry corpus training is initially formed, it will have certain independent reasoning capabilities; the technology research and development of the “Tanyi Intelligent Computing Knowledge Map” based on graph calculation has begun to be successfully used in implementation projects and R&D projects related to index attribution analysis, data quality inspection and traceability, and regulatory reporting. Through the componentized encapsulation of emerging technologies and business logic, a “data commercialization and technical transparency” data asset capability system was initially formed.
Credit business. In 2023, the company developed by leaps and bounds on the basis of continuous cooperation in the credit business line stabilizing stock business. Revenue related to the credit business line was at the leading level in the market throughout the year, and the number of customers for credit-related projects increased by more than 18, including 5 new large-scale comprehensive credit projects. The transaction amount of each project increased significantly compared to previous similar projects. All new credit projects included a large number of big data applications, making the whole product and the whole process intelligent, online, and mobile. Some credit projects also incorporated large models to assist banks in the credit business process Both aspects of technology have completed digital transformation, providing agile support for future scenario-oriented business innovation in the bank credit business.
Jointly build a financial supercomputing research and development center with Hunan University, and actively invest in large-scale models and computing power.
