What does the public utility cloud can bring to us? Zhang Haijun answered this question from the view of natural gas industry in his speech "Internet + smart gas cloud solution".

“Currently, there are four major problems in the gas industry: low engagement caused by the high cost of informatization, low operation efficiency of “pipe + end”, decreased gross profit and low customer satisfaction.
