Unlocking Digital Transformation: Inside China’s New GB/T 45341‑2025 Reference Architecture

Digital transformation is now a vital question for enterprises in the digital age, aiming to optimize value systems, innovate, and restructure. The new national standard GB/T 45341‑2025 “Digital Transformation Management Reference Architecture” offers a practical framework aligned with digital economy trends.

The standard addresses “what to do”, “how to do it”, and provides a roadmap, emphasizing value‑system reconstruction, new capability building, and a phased implementation guided by data‑driven elements. It introduces a digital transformation maturity model covering five evaluation domains (strategic development, business innovation, new capabilities, governance, systemic solutions) and five maturity levels (norm, scenario, domain, platform, ecosystem) with ten detailed sub‑levels.

GB/T 45341‑2025 complements GB/T 23011‑2022 “Information‑Industrial Integration Digital Transformation Value‑Benefit Reference Model”, together supporting upgraded integration management systems and maturity certification. They guide enterprises to adopt a value‑oriented, capability‑centric, data‑driven approach, integrating technology and management for sustainable innovation.
