A major diversified Central State-Owned Enterprise (SOE) Group in China with assets totaling ten trillion yuan, recently achieved a critical breakthrough in its data middle office initiative. The "Group Control Domain Model Project" has successfully completed its stage-one go-live. This accomplishment marks a significant step forward in the customer’s digital governance capabilities, laying a solid foundation for the development of a new data foundation that is defined by unified standards, assetization, and service orientation.
Strategic Planning | Co-Developing the Data Middle Office Blueprint
As they expanded its business diversification, it faced critical challenges such as data silos, inconsistent standards, and inadequate sharing, which directly impacted the effectiveness of fine-tuned management and the quality of strategic decision-making. They has formally initiated the construction of its data middle office by partnering with Sunline to finalize the overall blueprint, which now provides comprehensive guidance for establishing an integrated data middle office solution covering collection, governance, utilization, and intelligence.
The resulting plan is anchored by a foundation of data integrity and cleanliness. By adopting penetrative data governance and achieving full-domain data integration, the project aims to build highly efficient and centralized intelligent data capabilities. This approach involves deeply embedding AI technology to drive smart analysis and decision-making, comprehensively enabling the group's fine-tuned control, risk identification, business innovation, and operational efficiency improvements.
Model Construction | Achieving Significant Penetrative Asset Management
Under the guidance of this blueprint, Sunline place their solution in the project, driving the development of the data model system across eight core control areas:
● Asset Management
● Financial Sharing
● Tax Management
● Contract Management
● Procurement Management
● Risk Control Management
● Travel Management
● Foreign Affairs Management
Leveraging DataMind for accelerated development and automated program generation, the project rapidly designed and developed 348 data model tables in a mere 37 days. This fast deployment established a full-link data foundation spanning data collection, integration, service, and application, setting the essential groundwork for the customer to achieve the valuable capability of "process once, reuse everywhere."
The results in the asset management domain were significant as the project completed comprehensive data collection, cleansing, and governance across 11 major subsidiaries (involving sectors like highways, ports, logistics, shipping, and urban development), covering over 1,000 standard asset categories. This effort culminated in a unified corporate asset data view, realizing digital penetrative management across the full lifecycle and scope of assets, and providing robust support for asset value visualization, operational efficiency enhancement, and risk management.
Value Realization | Business-Finance Integration Empowers Decision-Making
Business-Finance Integration has become a crucial path for achieving high-quality development, as it is necessary to comply with China’s State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) mandate for establishing world-class financial management systems, and to fulfill key financial control and penetrative management tasks outlined in the Group's 14th Five-Year Plan strategy.
The project established unit-level cost measurement (e.g., cost per vessel) and dedicated project accounting (e.g., a single ledger per project) as initial pilot scenarios, successfully bridging data barriers between business and financial systems. This integration delivers real-time project cost accounting and intelligent fund execution early warnings, effectively driving the transformation of financial management from a focus on compliance and asset protection to one of strategic value creation. This establishes a new model for data-driven business decision-making.
This stage-one go-live represents a critical milestone for the customer’s digital transformation journey, and offers a proven model for group control and data governance across large enterprises. Moving forward, Sunline will leverage the expertise gained from this implementation to empower more organizations and accelerate the realization of the profound value of data elements through deeper data application.
