Online Office Industry with Strong Development under the Epidemic

In the early 1980s, many foreign scholars developed many efficient and convenient software and hardware equipment for the OA system under the deep research on OA system-related fields. In the late 1980s, the OA system stepped into a new stage with the depth of relevant research and the popularization of the internet abroad. Around 2005, many well-known American start-ups such as Microsoft and Siemens came into being，which became phenomenal level enterprises in the United States, offering the foundation for the infrastructure of service technology. So far, the development of online office in the United States and other developed countries tends to mature. Since China has missed the great opportunity due to the historical environment, related technology and consumption concept of the public, the growth of the science and technology industry is far behind the developed countries and the online office is on exception. However, it is the epidemic that brings a wonderful chance to develop for online office which is a little forced option. During the Chinese Spring Festival of 2020, more than 18 million enterprises in China have adopted the online office, with a total of more than 300 million users using office applications.

Methods adopted are different from each other among online office platforms that aim at a common goal to cultivate office habits of users and accumulate user base for the mode of cloud office. Ding Talk cooperating with Alibaba offers free service facing the global users, and Tencent give a cost-free function of 300 live meeting. during the epidemic, Alibaba, Tencent, ByteDance and Huawei have become "four dragons of online office ", and the smell of competitive atmosphere among platforms has become increasingly intense with the spread of the epidemic. But at present, existing platforms have no radical change instead of staying at basically simple work including live meetings, signing in and checking. There is still huge room for improvement in the online office.

The Acceptance of Cloud Office Improved and It Worth Waiting in Hope

We believe that the physical office will not be replaced by the cloud office completely, instead of coexisting together in unison. The essence of international competition in science and technology competition in the future, where cloud office which is only a small branch of it is not enough to analyze the development of the whole industry. There is still a vast space and long development of the science and technology industry in China.
