cost reduction and efficiency improvement.</strong></p><p>During Japan's Edo period, a rice merchant named Munehisa Honma designed a business tool to improve efficiency and reduce risk.</p><p>To deliver the trading message, Honma arranged for someone to stand on the roof and wave a flag every three miles between his hometown of Sakata and the Osaka Exchange, 380 miles away. Once Osaka determines the price, the players will take turns passing it on, creating the advantage of getting the price earlier in this near-real-time way.</p><p>In order to accurately grasp price trends, Honma's invention also includes multiple parameters such as investor psychology, weather, crop prices, and trading volume. The final manifestation of this information—the opening and closing prices—is recorded daily using a candlestick bar chart, and then analyzed for trends, swings, and inflection points, which greatly helps to form accurate trading judgments.</p><p>This information transmission system and candlestick charts became the Honma family's magic weapon for surpassing the market. Under Honma's leadership, all rice merchants who use this information and data management system will benefit greatly. This system has since become increasingly sophisticated, becoming a tool familiar to every financial professional.<strong>Candlestick chart.</strong></p><p>Through the mists of history, the Honma family's wealth story has become a legend. The small streams of financial DNA have converged into a vast ocean, with sub-sectors such as insurance, banking, asset management, and securities firms together supporting the landscape of today's financial industry. However, despite the passage of time, the mindset of financial practitioners to use tools to improve efficiency and guide business has never changed.</p><p>Observing today's financial industry reveals two phenomena:<strong>First, there is industry segmentation; second, there are numerous small and medium-sized institutions.</strong></p><p>This has led to the result that there are numerous, segmented, and complex business needs in various sub-sectors, and for many small and medium-sized organizations with limited resources, these needs may be difficult to meet on their own.</p><p>This raises the possibility that by bringing together these scattered needs, corresponding solutions can be generated to help them achieve goals such as improving efficiency, increasing revenue, controlling risk, and acquiring customers, which also means business opportunities.</p><p>This spurred the emergence of financial SaaS services and also promoted...<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/OCFT\">OneConnect Financial Technology</a>(OCFT.US) The growth of this company, then, our question is simple,<strong>For many financial institutions, what exactly can OneConnect Financial Technology help them with? What will such a fintech company gain from this service?</strong></p><p><strong>01 Inheritors of genuine financial genes</strong></p><p>Looking through the research reports of small and medium-sized financial institutions, one can often see some common things on the risk warnings on the last page.</p><p>What troubles small and medium-sized banks is the rise in non-performing loan ratios, the homogenization of products and services, and the slowdown in growth. Insurance institutions that have been engaged in insurance business for many years, despite using team training and KPI assessment methods, still face the problem of reduced efficiency of insurance agents and increased costs for the entire institution.</p><p>These cases of small and medium-sized financial institutions are very representative. They each seem to have their own problems, but they all point to the same background: after the interest rate liberalization reform, the rise of third-party online payment, wealth management and insurance platforms, and the changes in the consumption psychology and behavior of the general public, the traditional operating models of small and medium-sized financial institutions need to face competitive pressure that is not what it used to be.</p><p>More than two hundred years ago, Munehisa Honma was able to solve the problem of rice futures through information and data management. More than two hundred years later, can today's financial institutions still solve current problems through similar paths?</p><p>For small and medium-sized financial institutions, due to shortcomings in talent, technology, and capital, the cost of building their own information and digital infrastructure is extremely high, and it is impossible to guarantee that after a large investment, they can meet business needs and solve practical problems.</p><p>Therefore,<strong>Relying on financial SaaS services is one answer.</strong>In Munehisa Honma's time, information, data, and processes needed to be managed by human effort.</p><p>However, having overcome the chaotic period of finance, the accumulation of experience and strategies in the financial industry, and the maturity of information technologies such as cloud platforms have made it possible for this industry to lead finance with technology, and have also created expert companies that focus on the operational needs of small and medium-sized institutions.</p><p>This is precisely where OneConnect Financial Technology can serve—meeting the management needs of retail banking and SME financing, the management needs of insurance company agents and auto insurance operations, and the needs of asset management institutions to quickly design products and assist in investment decisions in the form of SaaS services.</p><p>This raises another question: Why OneConnect Financial Technology? Let's pull back time to the starting point of the company, 2015.</p><p>That year, Ping An Group, as the most legitimate financial gene owner in China, possessed rich business operation experience and capabilities. At the same time, it has invested hundreds of billions of yuan in fintech, and its technological strength has achieved a leading position in the industry, possessing the ability to export its own technology to the outside world.</p><p>As a joint venture technology subsidiary of Ping An Group and a platform for the group's technology output, OneConnect Financial Technology carries Ping An's financial DNA.</p><p>Based on its rich practical experience in combining finance and technology, OneConnect Financial Technology is familiar with multiple vertical sectors of the financial services industry, such as banking, insurance, and investment, and also has a clear understanding of the intractable business problems in various industries.</p><p>This means that OneConnect Financial Technology can integrate Ping An Group's rich business experience and scenarios to provide end-to-end SaaS services to the three major vertical sectors of the financial industry, including banking, insurance, and investment, helping small and medium-sized financial institutions achieve their goals of improving efficiency, increasing revenue, and reducing risk.</p><p><strong>02 OneConnect Financial's SaaS Model</strong></p><p><strong>For any SaaS company, product, sales, and delivery are not only core business links, but also key to determining its operational data, financial metrics, and even capital market value performance.</strong></p><p>Products are the primary manifestation of a SaaS company's competitiveness. If you observe OneConnect Financial Technology's products, you can clearly see that the company's external technology services are actually mainly based on a \"move-in ready\" financial solution. This is a significant difference from traditional financial IT vendors in the market that simply provide personnel-intensive software development and system integration.</p><p>Based on a wealth of business scenarios, OneConnect Financial Technology's solutions can help small and medium-sized financial institutions in need achieve tangible results through business process optimization and big data analytics.</p><p>For example, for bank customers, risk control audits have always been a manpower-intensive business process in which risks are difficult to completely avoid. And through OneConnect Financial Technology<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/5RE.SI\">smart</a>Face-to-face review solutions can achieve remote approval through technologies such as intelligent Q&A and voiceprint recognition.</p><p>This granular attention to business details clearly stems from the company's in-depth understanding of banking business scenarios and processes. For the needs of asset management clients, OneConnect Financial Technology can also rely on its mature understanding of asset management business to deliver solutions.</p><p>The issuance of asset management products in the asset management industry has always been characterized by a long issuance cycle. The launch of a single wealth management product often takes 2 to 3 weeks. Through the transformation of the end-to-end product factory, the product launch cycle can be shortened, and the new product can be launched in as little as 1 day.</p><p>OneConnect Financial Technology's solutions are not limited to general business scenarios for financial institutions. In fact, for many special scenarios, it is difficult for ordinary developers to thoroughly consider the details and issues without a strong background in the financial industry.</p><p>OneConnect Financial Technology's technology output to insurance institutions is a typical example of this. For insurance companies, the process from vehicle damage assessment to claims settlement is a seemingly simple but actually complex one.</p><p>Even efficient damage assessment experts need to keep the entire assessment time between 20 minutes and half an hour when facing an accident scene. OneConnect Financial Technology's automatic loss assessment solution enables efficient and low-cost claims processing through AI image recognition.</p><p>Insurance company customers only need to take a photo with their mobile phones to achieve one-click claims processing. The loss assessment time can be shortened from 20 minutes to less than one minute, with an identification accuracy rate of up to 95%, and customers can receive compensation in ten minutes.</p><p>From this series of cases, it is not difficult to see that these \"move-in ready\" solutions are all built on the company's capabilities. The source of these capabilities is not only Ping An's financial background, but also OneConnect Financial Technology's continuous accumulation of capabilities through customer cases. It is this positive cycle that has laid the foundation for OneConnect Financial Technology's product value, customer value and company value in the industry.</p><p>As a SaaS company, how to conduct sales and deliver products is a common challenge faced by the industry, and it is also what differentiates OneConnect Financial Technology from its peers.</p><p>SaaS sales are highly professional, which is an important characteristic that distinguishes the industry from other industries. Therefore, a targeted sales strategy is key to achieving sales.</p><p>Under OneConnect Financial's customer acquisition model of establishing four major marketing regions across the country, we closely explore customer pain points and potential needs, conduct thorough research to understand the differentiated business needs of different small and medium-sized financial institutions, match corresponding product solutions for institutions in a targeted manner, and ultimately reach a cooperation framework and intention.</p><p>In this stage of product delivery, OneConnect Financial Technology's differentiation from the industry is also clearly reflected.</p><p>Traditional financial IT vendors and other fintech subsidiaries basically adopt the traditional \"4321\" or \"451\" project-based development model, using phased payments to complete full payment within one to three years of operation and maintenance.</p><p>Clearly, this means slower capital turnover, longer financial cycles, and greater risk. Recognizing this problem, OneConnect Financial Technology adopted a fee model based on the customer's actual business transaction volume.</p><p>This change means that if a customer's transaction volume on OneConnect Financial Technology's products grows rapidly, OneConnect Financial Technology's revenue from that customer will also grow rapidly. While ensuring the flexibility of the company's revenue growth, it also takes into account the principle of saving customers' overall expenditures on technology, thereby ensuring the long-term stability of the cooperation.</p><p><strong>03 Giving roses leaves a lingering fragrance.</strong></p><p>On May 12, 2021, OneConnect Financial Technology released its financial report for the first quarter of 2021. In this report, the company's total operating revenue increased by 41.1% year-on-year to 820 million yuan, and gross profit increased by 38% year-on-year to 279 million yuan.</p><p>If we connect the financial statements of OneConnect Financial Technology since its listing, we can find the company's revenue and gross profit.<strong>It has maintained double-digit positive growth for five consecutive quarters.</strong>This continuous growth momentum is a reflection of a fintech company's accelerated business growth as its products become SaaS-based.</p><p>However, measuring OneConnect Financial Technology's corporate value solely based on financial indicators is clearly superficial.

Once Osaka determines the price, the players will take turns passing it on, creating the advantage of getting the price earlier in this near-real-time way.</p><p>In order to accurately grasp price trends, Honma's invention also includes multiple parameters such as investor psychology, weather, crop prices, and trading volume. The final manifestation of this information—the opening and closing prices—is recorded daily using a candlestick bar chart, and then analyzed for trends, swings, and inflection points, which greatly helps to form accurate trading judgments.</p><p>This information transmission system and candlestick charts became the Honma family's magic weapon for surpassing the market. Under Honma's leadership, all rice merchants who use this information and data management system will benefit greatly. This system has since become increasingly sophisticated, becoming a tool familiar to every financial professional.<strong>Candlestick chart.</strong></p><p>Through the mists of history, the Honma family's wealth story has become a legend. The small streams of financial DNA have converged into a vast ocean, with sub-sectors such as insurance, banking, asset management, and securities firms together supporting the landscape of today's financial industry. However, despite the passage of time, the mindset of financial practitioners to use tools to improve efficiency and guide business has never changed.</p><p>Observing today's financial industry reveals two phenomena:<strong>First, there is industry segmentation; second, there are numerous small and medium-sized institutions.</strong></p><p>This has led to the result that there are numerous, segmented, and complex business needs in various sub-sectors, and for many small and medium-sized organizations with limited resources, these needs may be difficult to meet on their own.</p><p>This raises the possibility that by bringing together these scattered needs, corresponding solutions can be generated to help them achieve goals such as improving efficiency, increasing revenue, controlling risk, and acquiring customers, which also means business opportunities.</p><p>This spurred the emergence of financial SaaS services and also promoted...<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/OCFT\">OneConnect Financial Technology</a>(OCFT.US) The growth of this company, then, our question is simple,<strong>For many financial institutions, what exactly can OneConnect Financial Technology help them with? What will such a fintech company gain from this service?</strong></p><p><strong>01 Inheritors of genuine financial genes</strong></p><p>Looking through the research reports of small and medium-sized financial institutions, one can often see some common things on the risk warnings on the last page.</p><p>What troubles small and medium-sized banks is the rise in non-performing loan ratios, the homogenization of products and services, and the slowdown in growth. Insurance institutions that have been engaged in insurance business for many years, despite using team training and KPI assessment methods, still face the problem of reduced efficiency of insurance agents and increased costs for the entire institution.</p><p>These cases of small and medium-sized financial institutions are very representative. They each seem to have their own problems, but they all point to the same background: after the interest rate liberalization reform, the rise of third-party online payment, wealth management and insurance platforms, and the changes in the consumption psychology and behavior of the general public, the traditional operating models of small and medium-sized financial institutions need to face competitive pressure that is not what it used to be.</p><p>More than two hundred years ago, Munehisa Honma was able to solve the problem of rice futures through information and data management. More than two hundred years later, can today's financial institutions still solve current problems through similar paths?</p><p>For small and medium-sized financial institutions, due to shortcomings in talent, technology, and capital, the cost of building their own information and digital infrastructure is extremely high, and it is impossible to guarantee that after a large investment, they can meet business needs and solve practical problems.</p><p>Therefore,<strong>Relying on financial SaaS services is one answer.</strong>In Munehisa Honma's time, information, data, and processes needed to be managed by human effort.</p><p>However, having overcome the chaotic period of finance, the accumulation of experience and strategies in the financial industry, and the maturity of information technologies such as cloud platforms have made it possible for this industry to lead finance with technology, and have also created expert companies that focus on the operational needs of small and medium-sized institutions.</p><p>This is precisely where OneConnect Financial Technology can serve—meeting the management needs of retail banking and SME financing, the management needs of insurance company agents and auto insurance operations, and the needs of asset management institutions to quickly design products and assist in investment decisions in the form of SaaS services.</p><p>This raises another question: Why OneConnect Financial Technology? Let's pull back time to the starting point of the company, 2015.</p><p>That year, Ping An Group, as the most legitimate financial gene owner in China, possessed rich business operation experience and capabilities. At the same time, it has invested hundreds of billions of yuan in fintech, and its technological strength has achieved a leading position in the industry, possessing the ability to export its own technology to the outside world.</p><p>As a joint venture technology subsidiary of Ping An Group and a platform for the group's technology output, OneConnect Financial Technology carries Ping An's financial DNA.</p><p>Based on its rich practical experience in combining finance and technology, OneConnect Financial Technology is familiar with multiple vertical sectors of the financial services industry, such as banking, insurance, and investment, and also has a clear understanding of the intractable business problems in various industries.</p><p>This means that OneConnect Financial Technology can integrate Ping An Group's rich business experience and scenarios to provide end-to-end SaaS services to the three major vertical sectors of the financial industry, including banking, insurance, and investment, helping small and medium-sized financial institutions achieve their goals of improving efficiency, increasing revenue, and reducing risk.</p><p><strong>02 OneConnect Financial's SaaS Model</strong></p><p><strong>For any SaaS company, product, sales, and delivery are not only core business links, but also key to determining its operational data, financial metrics, and even capital market value performance.</strong></p><p>Products are the primary manifestation of a SaaS company's competitiveness. If you observe OneConnect Financial Technology's products, you can clearly see that the company's external technology services are actually mainly based on a \"move-in ready\" financial solution. This is a significant difference from traditional financial IT vendors in the market that simply provide personnel-intensive software development and system integration.</p><p>Based on a wealth of business scenarios, OneConnect Financial Technology's solutions can help small and medium-sized financial institutions in need achieve tangible results through business process optimization and big data analytics.</p><p>For example, for bank customers, risk control audits have always been a manpower-intensive business process in which risks are difficult to completely avoid. And through OneConnect Financial Technology<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/5RE.SI\">smart</a>Face-to-face review solutions can achieve remote approval through technologies such as intelligent Q&A and voiceprint recognition.</p><p>This granular attention to business details clearly stems from the company's in-depth understanding of banking business scenarios and processes. For the needs of asset management clients, OneConnect Financial Technology can also rely on its mature understanding of asset management business to deliver solutions.</p><p>The issuance of asset management products in the asset management industry has always been characterized by a long issuance cycle. The launch of a single wealth management product often takes 2 to 3 weeks. Through the transformation of the end-to-end product factory, the product launch cycle can be shortened, and the new product can be launched in as little as 1 day.</p><p>OneConnect Financial Technology's solutions are not limited to general business scenarios for financial institutions. In fact, for many special scenarios, it is difficult for ordinary developers to thoroughly consider the details and issues without a strong background in the financial industry.</p><p>OneConnect Financial Technology's technology output to insurance institutions is a typical example of this. For insurance companies, the process from vehicle damage assessment to claims settlement is a seemingly simple but actually complex one.</p><p>Even efficient damage assessment experts need to keep the entire assessment time between 20 minutes and half an hour when facing an accident scene. OneConnect Financial Technology's automatic loss assessment solution enables efficient and low-cost claims processing through AI image recognition.</p><p>Insurance company customers only need to take a photo with their mobile phones to achieve one-click claims processing. The loss assessment time can be shortened from 20 minutes to less than one minute, with an identification accuracy rate of up to 95%, and customers can receive compensation in ten minutes.</p><p>From this series of cases, it is not difficult to see that these \"move-in ready\" solutions are all built on the company's capabilities. The source of these capabilities is not only Ping An's financial background, but also OneConnect Financial Technology's continuous accumulation of capabilities through customer cases. It is this positive cycle that has laid the foundation for OneConnect Financial Technology's product value, customer value and company value in the industry.</p><p>As a SaaS company, how to conduct sales and deliver products is a common challenge faced by the industry, and it is also what differentiates OneConnect Financial Technology from its peers.</p><p>SaaS sales are highly professional, which is an important characteristic that distinguishes the industry from other industries. Therefore, a targeted sales strategy is key to achieving sales.</p><p>Under OneConnect Financial's customer acquisition model of establishing four major marketing regions across the country, we closely explore customer pain points and potential needs, conduct thorough research to understand the differentiated business needs of different small and medium-sized financial institutions, match corresponding product solutions for institutions in a targeted manner, and ultimately reach a cooperation framework and intention.</p><p>In this stage of product delivery, OneConnect Financial Technology's differentiation from the industry is also clearly reflected.</p><p>Traditional financial IT vendors and other fintech subsidiaries basically adopt the traditional \"4321\" or \"451\" project-based development model, using phased payments to complete full payment within one to three years of operation and maintenance.</p><p>Clearly, this means slower capital turnover, longer financial cycles, and greater risk. Recognizing this problem, OneConnect Financial Technology adopted a fee model based on the customer's actual business transaction volume.</p><p>This change means that if a customer's transaction volume on OneConnect Financial Technology's products grows rapidly, OneConnect Financial Technology's revenue from that customer will also grow rapidly. While ensuring the flexibility of the company's revenue growth, it also takes into account the principle of saving customers' overall expenditures on technology, thereby ensuring the long-term stability of the cooperation.</p><p><strong>03 Giving roses leaves a lingering fragrance.</strong></p><p>On May 12, 2021, OneConnect Financial Technology released its financial report for the first quarter of 2021. In this report, the company's total operating revenue increased by 41.1% year-on-year to 820 million yuan, and gross profit increased by 38% year-on-year to 279 million yuan.</p><p>If we connect the financial statements of OneConnect Financial Technology since its listing, we can find the company's revenue and gross profit.<strong>It has maintained double-digit positive growth for five consecutive quarters.</strong>This continuous growth momentum is a reflection of a fintech company's accelerated business growth as its products become SaaS-based.</p><p>However, measuring OneConnect Financial Technology's corporate value solely based on financial indicators is clearly superficial. For a SaaS company, the most productive...<span>Assets</span>These are engineers and technical reserves; these are all living, breathing people and technical details that are difficult to quantify, and they are not included in the calculations.<span>Balance Sheet</span>。</p><p>In this regard, as of the end of March 2021, the company had filed a total of 4,988 global patent applications, an increase of 152 compared to the end of last year, including 1,178 overseas patent applications and 3,810 domestic patent applications.</p><p>These patented technologies form the cornerstone of OneConnect Financial Technology, serving as both its confidence in \"giving roses to others\" and its enduring competitiveness.</p><p>Supported by this confidence and competitiveness, there has been a dual increase in the value of both effective customers and individual customers.

，金融壹账通究竟能在帮助他们做什么？这样一家金融科技公司，它又会从这种服务中取得什么？01 正牌金融基因的承袭者翻看中小金融机构的研报，在最后一页的风险提示上，常常可以看到一些共同的东西。让中小银行烦恼的，是不良率的上升、产品和服务的同质化，增速放缓。而从事了多年保险业务的保险机构，尽管用遍了团队培训、KPI考核的法子，却仍然面临着保险代理人效能降低，整个机构成本上升的难题。这些中小金融机构的案例很有代表性，看起来各有各的问题，但都指向了一个背景：在利率市场化改革，三方线上支付、理财、保险平台兴起，社会大众消费心理和行为发生变化后，中小金融机构的传统运营模式，需要面临今非昔比的竞争压力。两百多年前的本间宗久，可以通过信息与数据管理解决稻米期货难题。在两百多年后，今天的金融机构，还能否通过相似的路径，解决当下的难题。对于中小金融机构来说，由于在人才、技术、资金等方面存在短板，通过自身进行信息化和数字化建设成本极其高昂，并且无法保证在大量投入之后，能够满足业务需求和解决现实问题。因此，依靠金融SaaS服务，就是答案之一。在本间宗久的时代，信息、数据和流程需要用人力来实现管理。但迈过金融的草莽时期，金融行业经验、策略的积累、云平台等信息技术的成熟，已经使这个行业拥有了以科技引领金融的可能，也造就了聚焦于中小机构运营需求的专家型企业。而这，正是金融壹账通可以作为之处——以SaaS服务形式分别满足银行零售和中小企业融资的管理的需求、保险公司代理人管理和车险运营的需要、资管机构快速设计产品并为投资决策做辅助的需要。这可以推演出另外一个问题：为什么会是金融壹账通？让我们将时间拉回公司的起始点，2015年。这一年的平安集团，作为国内最正牌的金融基因所有者，具备丰富的业务运营经验和能力。同时在金融科技累计投资上千亿，科技实力在业内取得领先地位，具备对外输出自身科技的能力。作为平安集团的联营科技子公司、集团科技输出的平台，金融壹账通承载了平安的金融基因。站在丰富的金融和科技相结合的实践经验上，使得金融壹账通熟稔于银行、保险、投资等金融服务行业的多个垂直领域，也清楚地了解各行业在业务上的难解死结。这意味着，金融壹账通可以整合平安集团丰富的业务经验和场景，为银行、保险、投资等金融行业三大垂直领域提供端到端的SaaS服务，帮助中小金融机构实现提效增收、降低风险的目标。02 金融壹账通的SaaS模式对于任何SaaS公司而言，产品、销售和交付既是核心的业务环节，也是决定其运营数据、财务指标，乃至于资本市场价值表现的关键。产品是SaaS公司竞争力的首要体现，如果对金融壹账通的产品进行观察，可以清晰地发现，这家公司的对外科技服务，其实是以一种“租房拎包入住”的金融解决方案为主。这与市场上传统金融IT厂商单纯提供人员密集型的软件开发和系统集成，形成了明显的差异。站在丰富的业务场景基础上，金融壹账通输出的解决方案，可以通过业务流程的优化以及利用大数据分析等方法，帮助有需求的中小金融机构取得实效。例如对于银行客户而言，风控审核向来是银行耗费人力、且风险难以完全规避的业务环节。而通过金融壹账通提供的智能面审解决方案，则可以通过智能问答、声纹识别技术等技术实现远程审批。这种对于业务细节的颗粒度把握，显然来自于公司对于银行业务场景与流程的深入理解。而对于资管客户的需求，金融壹账通同样可以依靠自己对于资管业务的成熟理解，完成解决方案的输出。资管行业的资管产品发行，向来存在产品发行周期长的特点。单个理财产品发行上线时间，常常需要2到3周，通过端到端产品工厂的变革，可缩短产品发行周期，最快1天即可完成新产品上线。金融壹账通输出的解决方案，并不仅仅局限在金融机构的一般性业务场景中。事实上，对于许多特殊性的场景，如果没有深厚的金融行业背景作为积淀，普通开发者很难对其中的细节与问题考虑周全。金融壹账通对于保险机构的科技输出，就是这方面的典型例子。对于保险公司的车险业务，从车辆定损到理赔，也是一个看似简单实则繁杂的业务过程。即使是有效率的定损老手，在面对事故现场时，整个定损时长也要保持在20分钟到半小时。而在金融壹账通的自动定损解决方案下，通过AI图片识别实现高效低成本的理赔。保险公司客户只需手机拍照，实现一键理赔。定损时间可以从20分钟缩短至一分钟以内，识别精准率高达95%，客户十分钟就可获得赔款。从这一系列案例中，我们不难看出，这种“拎包入住”式的解决方案，无不建立在公司的能力基础上，而这种能力的来源，则既源于平安的金融背景，也源于金融壹账通通过客户案例不断增厚的能力积累，正是这种正向的循环，奠定了金融壹账通在行业内的产品价值、客户价值与公司价值。作为一家SaaS属性的公司，究竟该如何进行销售，如何完成产品交付，这是行业共同面对的难题，也是金融壹账通区别于同业者的差异化所在。SaaS的销售，具备很强的专业属性，这是行业有别于其他行业的重要特征。因此，有针对性的销售策略，是完成销售的关键。在金融壹账通在全国设立四大营销区域的获客模式下，近距离挖掘客户痛点与潜在需求，充分调研了解不同中小金融机构差异化的业务需求，有针对性地为机构匹配相应的产品解决方案，最终达成合作框架和意向。在产品交付的这一环节上，金融壹账通与行业的差异化，同样有着鲜明的体现。传统金融IT厂商和其他金融科技子公司基本采用传统的“4321”或者“451”的项目制开发模式，通过阶段节点付款的方式，在一到三年的运维过程中，完成全款收付。显然，意味着更慢的资金周转，更长的财务周期和更大的风险。正是看到了这样的问题，金融壹账通采用了基于客户实际业务交易量相挂钩的收费模式。这种变化意味着，如果客户在金融壹账通的产品上达成的交易量出现快速增长，金融壹账通从该客户获得的收入也会迅速增长。同时也在保证公司收入上浮弹性之余，兼顾客户在科技上的总体支出能够呈现节省的原则，确保合作的长期稳定。03 赠人玫瑰手有余香2021年5月12日，金融壹账通发布了2021年第一季度的财务报告。在这份报告中，公司营业总收入同比增长41.1%，达8.2亿元，毛利润同比增长38%至2.79亿元。如果将金融壹账通上市以来的财务报表加以连缀，可以发现这家公司的营收与毛利润，已经连续5个季度保持两位数的正增长。这种连续增长的势头，正是一家金融科技公司产品在SaaS化进程中，业务提速的写照。但如果仅仅以财务指标来衡量金融壹账通的公司价值，那么显然流于粗疏，对于一家SaaS公司而言，最有生产力的资产是工程师和技术储备，这些都是活生生的人和很难量化的技术细节，并不计入资产负债表。在这一方面，截止2021年3月末，公司全球专利申请累计4988项，较去年年底新增152项，其中境外专利申请1178项，境内专利申请3810项。这些专利技术，构成了金融壹账通的基石，既是它“赠人玫瑰”的底气，也是它“手有余香”的竞争力。而在这种底气和竞争力的支撑下，呈现出来的是有效客户和单客价值的双重提升，在报告期内，金融壹账通先后与新加坡证券交易所、深圳证券交易所、北京银行、华润银行、安诚财险等客户达成合作。回溯金融行业的历史，可以发现这既是一部观念逐步丰富的思想史，也是一部技术迭代与演进的科技史，在这个潮流中，财富的多寡只是最终的结果，而机构的沉浮、壮大，关键只有一条——是否行进在正确的方向上。这是指引一家公司前进的准则，也是一个行业兴衰的风向标。","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"OCFT":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3294,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"defaultTab":"posts","isTTM":true}
