What Is the SCALE Framework?
Leo Chen, Senior Vice President and President of Enterprise Sales, said Huawei has two focuses in the region. The first is building products tailored to local industry scenarios, and the second is empowering local partners to serve European customers better.
To support that, Huawei launched SCALE as an extension of its “Huawei + Partners” system. Its initiatives include scenario-based solutions, co-innovation, aligned marketing, local service, consistent quality and efficient collaboration. The aim is to help partners innovate around customer needs, bundle Huawei solutions more easily and strengthen their service.
