Survivor: Huawei Switches To Metaerp Improving Service Efficiency, Operational Quality

KUALA LUMPUR, April 26 (Bernama) -- Huawei announced it has replaced the legacy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system with its MetaERP system over which it has full control at the MetaERP Award Ceremony on April 20, at its Xi Liu Bei Po Village Campus in Dongguan, China.

The event titled "Heroes Fighting to Cross the Dadu River" was hosted by Huawei to recognise the individuals and teams who made critical contributions to this project.

Huawei Board Member and President of the Quality, Business Process & IT Mgmt Dept, Tao Jingwen said: “We were cut off from our old ERP system and other core operation and management systems more than three years ago.

“Since then, we have not only been able to build our own MetaERP, but also manage the switch and prove its capabilities. Today, we are proud to announce that we have broken through the blockade. We have survived!”

MetaERP currently handles 100 per cent of Huawei's business scenarios and 80 per cent of its business volume. It has already passed the tests of monthly, quarterly and yearly settlements, while ensuring zero faults, zero delays and zero accounting adjustments.

According to a statement, Huawei has complete, full-stack control over MetaERP, which has been built with other Huawei systems like EulerOS and GaussDB.

In addition, Huawei has also worked with partners to incorporate advanced technologies, such as cloud-native architecture, metadata-driven multi-tenant architecture, and real-time intelligence, into the MetaERP system, significantly improving service efficiency and operational quality.

ERP is the most critical enterprise management information technology (IT) system. Huawei introduced the Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP) II system in 1996, and later expanded to the ERP system with several iterative upgrades.

The old ERP system was the core system underpinning Huawei's enterprise operations and rapid development for more than 20 years. It supported Huawei's efficient business operations, which generate hundreds of billions of dollars every year, across more than 170 countries and regions worldwide.

In 2019, Huawei began facing increased external pressure and business challenges, thus deciding to develop a completely self-controlled MetaERP system to replace the old ERP system. This new, future-oriented, ultra-large-scale, and cloud-native MetaERP system has already gone live, replacing the old ERP system.
