2019-05-31
2019 is the year the China auto finance market is deep in adjustment and restructuring. Resource elements keep on concentrating in enterprises having greater innovation capacity and more competitive edges. AI and big data technologies started powering the auto finance industry in an increasingly bigger way. Industry-wide fission and innovation are imminent. To encourage and reward businesses who have made excellent contribution to the Chinese auto finance industry, the 4th China Auto Finance International Summit (2019) was held in Beijing from May 21 to 23. The Summit particularly set up a Gold Ting Award for excellent performers! It’s a great privilege that the SDS received the ‘Best Auto Finance Data Center’ award!
The three key elements, i.e. capital, financing and risk management, of Chinese auto finance industry are under strict regulation. Indeed, many policies have been worked out to encourage auto finance providers to expand business scope and explore new financing model, the state has yet relaxed any of the regulatory indicators concerning the capital, financing and risk management for the industry. The CBRC’s regulations and ranking indicator system designed for commercial banks are, in a large part, applicable to auto finance firms. Current macro prudential assessment (MPA) system and the newly-issued macro prudential capital adequacy ratio assessment (MPCARA) standard have leaded to greater capital pressure on auto finance firms. With its high financial security level and high performance level, the SDS IDX data center is able to provide all auto finance firms with reliable safeguard and all-round services. As we understand, auto finance providers pay special attention to the security level that a data center can ensure for their core operating systems, e.g. payment, retail bank and asset management. Based on strong capability, SDS has been chosen by many top players in the auto finance industry as their service vendor and, for the same reason, been selected by the industrial authority as the winner of the “Best Auto Finance Data Center” Gold Ting Award.

In a survey made by IResearch Consulting Institute, it’s anticipated that the auto finance and financial leasing industry would maintain a 15-20% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in the coming years. To better meet the need of smart expansion, auto finance firms also start searching mixed Cloud solutions for non-core business operations, e.g. operating outlets, human resources, and, customer analysis or customer relation platform. As we see it, there is a new trend emerging in the use of Cloud computing in the auto finance industry, i.e. the use of Cloud computing is shifting from the gradual migration of external systems to a stage where centralized architecture and distributed architecture co-exist side by side. SDS has extensive experience in designing and delivering overall mixed Cloud solutions that cover the whole process from installation to migration and then management, and, therefore, can give auto finance firms the greatest possible support for their innovation and upgrading endeavors!
