About the company
Zijin Zhixin Zhikong: Delivering zero-disruption migration at the pace of global expansion Zijin Zhixin Zhikong (Xiamen) Technology Co. Ltd. powers the digital backbone of Zijin Mining Group’s rapid global expansion. It supports operations across China and more than a dozen countries, keeping systems aligned and processes running as the business scales through frequent, high-stakes acquisitions.
As the mining group’s expansion accelerates, Zijin Zhixin Zhikong (Xiamen) Technology is tasked with integrating newly acquired mines within transition timelines of just a few months. Massive data volumes, dozens of legacy systems, and hundreds of users collide under intense pressure. In view of this, the technology organization sought expert help in uncovering and preserving critical dependencies, undocumented interfaces, and local work-arounds to avoid operational misalignment, delays, and disruption.
