Power of four helps GE's China expansion

A year ago, GE announced the formation of GE Enterprise Solutions, a new business created as part of GE Industrial including the group's Sensing & Inspection Technologies, GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms, Security and Digital Energy, to help GE's global customers elevate productivity through superior technology and solutions. Charlene Begley has been named president and CEO of the business. She appointed, Albert Wong, a Chinese man as the first general manager of GE Enterprise Solutions China Region to make the mainland market a specific focus for development. Begley sat down with China Daily's reporter Wang Zhenghua in Shanghai, and shared her strategy of doing business in China.

Q: Why does GE put the four businesses under GE Enterprise Solutions?

A: The reason we integrate the four businesses is to give them focus. These businesses have a lot of technology and huge growth potential. So our chairman wants someone from his staff to focus 100 percent on them to really accelerate growth. The reason we formally put them together was to help facilitate connecting technologies. We link our technologies from our intelligent platform businesses with technology from our digital energy businesses, with our sensing technologies from our sensing and inspection businesses. We can offer a broader value proposition of customers.
