Report Highlights
Along with the rapid development of the power generation industry, electric power generation enterprises experience constant structural optimization, technological progress, management innovation and development of corporate culture and informatization. However, electric power generation enterprises have many problems and face many challenges, such as severe structural contradiction, heavy pressure of energy conservation and emission reduction, hikes in coal prices, and generating equipment's shortened service life, which erodes electric power generation enterprises' profit margin. In the past few years, growth rate of profit in the electric power industry is below that of industrial enterprises as a whole. In the face of these changes, electric power generation enterprises are revamping their development strategies: On the one hand, they extend toward upstream and downstream businesses; on the other hand, they take informatization as strategic means to win in the future. Informatization has become indispensable to the rapid and healthy development of the electric power industry.
Integration of system application, data resource planning and information consolidation have become new traits of electric power generation enterprises. Chinese power generating enterprises are engaging in informatization development in light of their actualities. In 2008, electric power generation enterprises generally built sound IT infrastructure; IT organization was improved, and IT service management (ITSM) was gradually being put into practice.
We release the 2008-2009 Annual Report on the Informatization Development of China's Electric Power Generation Enterprises. By collating and analyzing data on domestic and overseas electric power generation enterprises' informatization, we help electric power generation enterprises, investors and professionals grasp the picture of informatization in the global power generation industry, and accurately grasp the present situation and development trend of informatization in China's electric power generation enterprises.
* In-depth, full and accurate market research data: Informatization data cover China's electric power generation enterprises' investments in IT infrastructure, application systems, and information security, and IT solutions for these enterprises.
* In-depth and scientific forecasts: The report takes a look at the development trend of informatization in China's power generation industry in light of national policy, business control and industry environment;
* Typical and in-depth competition analysis: The report examines informatization development at China's major electric power generation enterprises in the dimension of development strategy, development capability and IT investment.
