S2B is an electronic procurement system operated by the Korea Teachers' Credit Union, which serves as a designated information processing device that all public institutions and educational institutions subject to the Local Contract Act can use for bidding on construction, services, and manufacturing/purchasing of goods.


Dimoa's registration of cloud services on S2B is the first case for Microsoft Cloud. The services offered for sale include 'Azure Lab Service' and 'Artificial Intelligence Education Kit.'


Azure Lab Service is a Microsoft cloud service that helps efficiently use and manage the time and costs required for computer practice. It reduces the burden of costs related to PC failures and aging maintenance and provides a practice environment as quickly and conveniently as possible.


Amid the recent increase in non-face-to-face classes due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), Azure Lab Service has attracted attention as a tool for remote education by enabling classes to be conducted as if students were actually at school.


The Artificial Intelligence Education Kit is a product that allows students to directly experience problem-solving through artificial intelligence in real life by utilizing deep learning programming, microcomputers, and the cloud. Through an expandable modular kit, practical specialized programming practice, and solid deep learning theory, it enhances problem-solving skills and creativity, creating an environment where students can actively participate in classes.



Kang Deok-su, head of Dimoa's Education Business Team, said, "The cloud services registered this time can assist educational institutions in non-face-to-face practical classes and artificial intelligence classes," adding, "We plan to register various products and services that can help teachers and staff in the future."
