Genuine storm spawned new opportunities for domestic software

With the State Council’s “Notice on Further Improving the Use of Licensed Software by Government Authorities” and the “Notice on Relevant Issues Concerning the Use of Genuine Software for Special Inspection and Centralized Procurement”, staff from top-down government agencies at all levels are taking the lead. Genuine software, and gradually formed a long-term mechanism, will implement the genuine and resist piracy work.

The significance of copyrighted software is not only related to the rapid and healthy development of the software industry, but also promotes the application of domestic software, and even affects China’s international image. To this end, the government departments have recently launched a series of intensive legalization activities. At the same time, intensive actions have also demonstrated that software copyrighting will become the focus of work in the next few years. This is a case for the entire software industry, especially for Chinese software companies. It is also a good opportunity for development.

Recently, the Deputy Director of the General Administration of Press and Publication and Deputy Director of the National Copyright Administration Xiao-Hong Wang once stated that as of last year, 31 central state agencies have all taken the lead in completing the software legalization inspection and rectification work, and purchased and installed a total of 19,827 sets of genuine software. It is reported that this domestic software has a large share. Jinshan WPS Office office software has been continuously approved by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Press and Publication Administration, Ministry of Industry and other ministries.

In the new round of genuine software purchases by national government agencies, the actual actions and applications of national government agencies also show that whether government or corporate procurement, whether from the perspective of national security or from the perspective of energy conservation, domestic software has become the government. And the best choice for business. From the completed work of copyrighted software, it can be seen that the share of domestic software winning bids has increased significantly. This not only broadens the development space for domestic software, but also enhances the brand awareness of domestic software. At the same time, government procurement of domestically produced software is crucial to independent innovation and sustainable development of the domestic software industry, and will also save a large amount of national financial funds.

For example, as of the end of last year, central state agencies had purchased and installed more than 19,000 genuine software, most of which were domestic software, and had procurement capital of 22,110,000 yuan; Qingdao City had purchased and installed more than 15,000 sets of genuine foreign software, but the procurement funds A total of 76.63 million yuan was spent, more than twice as much.

The government's flow of funds to domestic software in the purchase of genuine software is crucial to the development of the entire Chinese software industry. The low price of traditional products is not the only label of domestic software, and the growth of the technology level is obvious to all. In recent years, the level of domestic software growth has been very fast, and it can already meet various needs in the work. Academician Ni Guangnan, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the Institute of Computing at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that domestically produced Office can basically replace Microsoft Office. On the other hand, the existence of domestic software vendors has formed checks and balances on foreign software with obvious monopoly advantages, and has forced them to cut prices in some areas, saving the country a considerable amount of procurement funds.
