Recently, China Unicom is actively carrying out the reform plan of "slimming and keeping fit", aiming at streamlining the huge internal system and improving work efficiency. The operator WorldNet learned exclusively that the two departments of China Unicom will merge, which may be related to the optimization of the production center.

It is reported that in the organizational setup of provincial branches, China Unicom clearly proposed to separate management from production and strictly control the number of management departments. The number of management departments in the headquarters of Unicom Northern Branch is optimized as 18 2, and that in Southern Branch is optimized as 16 2, which encourages provincial branches to further reduce the number of management departments.

The organizational setup of provincial companies is divided into professional lines, including market lines, support lines and smart lines. On the market line, 2-4 management departments can be established in the front-end market, and several production centers can be established according to the actual situation of the unit. Among them, the original e-commerce operation center and the Internet operation center can be merged and set up as an e-commerce operation center.

The predecessor of the Internet Operations Department is actually the Product Innovation Department, which is mainly responsible for SP services (SMS, MMS, CRBT, etc. However, due to the changes of the times, the operation of Internet products has gradually changed. The e-commerce department is very simple, that is, selling Unicom products through e-commerce. Essentially, the two have a lot in common, and both belong to the production department. As can be seen from the combined name, the company will be more inclined to build e-commerce business.

In addition, according to the operator World Network, China Unicom has established e-commerce cooperation and operation centers with Tencent and Ali respectively, and it is still in its infancy. There is no sign of how China Unicom's e-commerce departments at all levels will continue to reform in the future.

In short, this merger is the performance of Unicom to further optimize production. The unification of the two can not only integrate resources, facilitate mutual communication and cooperation, but also simplify the system and improve work efficiency, thus achieving a high-quality whole.
