the Company officially launched China’s first integrated, industry-application oriented Cloud Platform (www.cnitcloud.com), which is based on its proprietary Cloud-App-Terminal (CAT) model.

The new state-of-the-art Cloud Platform is developed to improve efficiency for customers in various sectors such as education, healthcare, property management, advertising, and information distribution. Some of the CNIT Cloud Platform’s broad applications include facilitating cloud lesson preparation and teacher-parent interaction, automating hospital reservation systems and improving doctor-patient communication, monitoring elevator safety and emergency response, enabling online ad exchange via the cloud network, and distributing government announcements.

Mr. Jiang Huai Lin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CNIT, commented,

“We are very excited about this new milestone as we are moving full speed on our transition to a cloud-based business model. Through open web API, we look forward to collaborating with third party developers to create additional add-on features to enrich our eco-system. Cloud-based business model, especially sector-specific applications and solutions, is still in its infancy in China. With more Chinese consumers embracing cloud technologies to improve their lifestyle, I believe we are well positioned to capitalize on the growing market demand in China.”
