ZTE Corporation today showcased its pioneering achievements in digital transformation and AI-driven project management at the 14th IPMA Research Conference in Bogotá, Colombia.
During the conference, Wang Yuzhu, Managing Director of Engineering Services at ZTE Colombia, and Jose Perez, Senior Expert in Engineering Delivery Management at ZTE, delivered a keynote speech themed "The Digital and Intelligent Future of Project Management", highlighting ZTE's practical experiences and innovative achievements in global project delivery.
To address the evolving challenges of global project delivery, ZTE has developed a digital project management platform tailored for complex international scenarios. Built on the "One Team, One platform, One Mechanism" tripartite architecture, this platform, powered by ZTE’s iEPMS (Intelligent Engineering Project Management platform), enables comprehensive management across the entire project lifecycle—spanning planning, cost control, quality assurance, risk mitigation, and resource allocation. Through digital, automated, and intelligent management approaches, the platform significantly enhances project management efficiency and precision.
On the intelligence front, ZTE is driving the deep integration of AI with project management. By deploying Optical Character Recognition (OCR), AI Agents, Large Language Models (LLMs), and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for knowledge enhancement, ZTE has automated key workflows such as quality reviews, design generation, risk analysis, and reporting. These innovations have yielded outstanding operational benefits: the accuracy of AI-powered quality reviews has reached 98%, and the time required to generate project reports has plummeted from 180 minutes to just 5 minutes, significantly improving delivery efficiency and governance capabilities.
ZTE’s digital delivery achievements are backed by its extensive global footprint and rich network service expertise. Globally, ZTE has delivered over 240,000 projects, deployed over 7 million base stations and over 240,000 kilometers of optical cables, while managing and maintaining over 510,000 kilometers of network cabling. By continuously automating processes and building an intelligent tool ecoplatform, ZTE has achieved a 65% reduction in acceptance costs, an 85% drop in site re-entry rates, and a 2.5-fold improvement in network activation efficiency, creating tangible value for global customers.
ZTE also showcased several global benchmark case studies at the conference. In Ecuador’s RAN network project, ZTE integrated its intelligent platform with over 50 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to achieve a seamless, "zero-user-perception" migration during network handovers. Additionally, ZTE’s digital project management solutions have been widely deployed in Colombia across diverse projects, including lithium battery installations, solar energy, microwave, FTTH, and DWDM networks.
Centered on the theme "Project Management Practice in a Disruptive Era: Integrating tech innovation, Innovation, and Sustainability", this landmark event gathered experts from over 50 countries. Across key thematic tracks including AI & innovation, project manager 5.0, and sustainability & purposeful management, attendees explored how disruptive technologies are reshaping human leadership and project frameworks in the digital era.
Looking ahead, ZTE will continue to act as a "Driver of Digital Economy", deepening the integration of AI, big data, and project management to upgrade global delivery models. ZTE remains committed to collaborating with global ecoplatform partners to advance both research and practical innovation, contributing to an open, intelligent, and sustainable global project management ecoplatform.
