Poverty alleviation gets a high-tech reboot

Poverty alleviation measures have been updated with more big data technology and cloud computing systems in Guizhou province in southwestern China - to better target those in need.

The poverty alleviation cloud system, introduced in Guizhou on December 2015, aims to facilitate local government in managing information on low-income people in a more scientific and more dynamic manner.

Shandong-based Inspur Group Co Ltd, the server manufacturer, has been working on a big-data platform, to assist local poverty alleviation officials in aiding poverty-stricken families through innovative measures.
