The two parties are focusing on joint innovation in the field of industry applications and implementing application scenarioses. Particularly in the domain-specific large model field, they have actively explored and closely cooperated with joint partners to help industry enterprises achieve deeper Data-AI transformation and upgrading. For example, during this conference, iSoftStone, in collaboration with Huawei Cloud, officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement for a domain-specific large model in the maternal and child industry with Guangdong Kangaroo Mommy Group Co., Ltd. and the Guangzhou Quality Supervision and Testing Institute.

Since partnering with Kangaroo Mommy Group, iSoftStone and Huawei Cloud have formulated detailed upgrade plans for Kangaroo Mommy's digital transformation, covering strategic management, execution monitoring, and performance management processes. These plans have effectively addressed business pain points related to data storage for product categories, e-commerce architecture, and information security.
