BEIJING, Dec
21, 2016 – (ACN Newswire) – China Enterprise ICT Solutions Limited (China
Entercom) announced the signing of a strategic cooperation agreement with Dadi
Cinema Group (“Dadi”), a trendsetting company in China’s cinema
industry. China Entercom will provide Dadi with a comprehensive network
management solution including consultation, design, deployment and operations
support. Through optimization and upgrade of Dadi’s network infrastructure,
network security, data center and hi-speed network connections, the solution
will effectively facilitate the implementation of Dadi’s “Film +”
strategy, designed to create an experiential cinema ecosystem that features
multi-faceted operation. The revolutionary concept will usher in a new era for
the film industry.

Innovation Never Stops – enhancing competitiveness, optimizing customer
experience

Dadi has witnessed the development of the film industry in China and, over the
last decade, has established itself as a flagship enterprise in the domestic
cinema market. As of October 31, 2016, Dadi operates 334 cinemas with a total
of 1,795 screens located in 158 cities in 28 provinces. The first company in
China to introduce fully digital cinemas, Dadi is now rolling out its innovative
Film+ strategy. As Dadi General Manager Ms. Xin Yu explains, “Film+ is
focused on the cinema experience. Combined with in-depth management of film
culture groups, we attempt to create an experiential cinema ecosystem that
features innovative catering, retail sales, Internet and cultural experiences.
China Entercom’s “Innovation Never Stops” philosophy is a perfect fit
with our business strategy. We hope that teaming up with China Entercom will
give us the benefits of its cutting-edge technology and informatization
management capabilities to upgrade facilities to meet consumer demand, forge
ahead with our Film + strategy, and make the Dadi brand more competitive.”

Innovation Never Stops – reliable operations that are secure and efficient

Moving ahead with the Film + strategy hinges on developing more online and
digital cinema services. Core business areas such as ticketing and management
systems must be secure and perform reliably. To keep up with Dadi’s explosively
rapid growth in recent years, the company’s network systems ballooned in size,
becoming increasingly complicated and fragile. “The cooperation with China
Entercom will allow us to leverage its one-stop ICT solution to refurbish our
company’s basic infrastructure, including systems, networks, security and
service assurances. We will establish standardized operating procedures and
management mechanisms in order to ensure unified management and operations, and
to maintain continuity of our services.” said Mr. Shi Di Wang, Dadi’s
Senior IT Director.

China Entercom is pledged to develop advanced infrastructure support solutions,
including a complete end-to-end infrastructure solution and a state-of-the-art
data center that will provide a stable and reliable operating environment for
cinema business systems. Besides, its TrustCSI UTM will offer secure
interconnectivity between cinemas and the core system, allowing Dadi to ensure
efficient and stable performance of its cinema business systems across 100
cities in China. The advanced solutions provided by China Entercom not only
support the Film + strategy decision-making process with real-time information
and communications, but also offer customers a quality experience, both online
and offline, when they are booking tickets, selecting seats, viewing movies and
shopping for other items at Dadi.

China Entercom will provide managed services to Dadi. The company will rely on
its extensive service coverage and one-stop operation capabilities to offer
Dadi 24/7 operational support for all of its cinemas nationwide. China
Entercom’s services include overall coordination, centralized management, rapid
response and redeployments as needed. With China Entercom taking over a
significant part of the day to day operational load, Dadi will be able to
direct more resources to the optimization and upgrading of its IT business.
