Robert Xu: The key to the integration of traditional business and digital business rests in entrepreneurs' adherence to their original aspirations.

"Remaining true to one's original aspirations and the determination to achieve them determine whether a traditional enterprise can succeed in the digitalization of its business," said Mr. Robert Xu, the founder and chairman of Kingdee International, at the Entrepreneur Summit of the World Internet Conference held on 8

November in Wuzhen. While small and medium-sized enterprises in western countries earmarked 1%-1.5% of their income for IT spending, their counterparts in China spent less than 0.5% of their income on IT. In his speech delivered at a forum featuring "Digitalized Economy in the New Age", he stressed that no matter whether a company goes digital or not, it is still a business. Therefore, the key to its success rests in people, and ultimately in our mind. Our original aspiration is to let our customers have the best user-experience."
