Wonsung Sik, President and CEO of IBM Korea

Won Seong-sik, CEO of IBM Korea, stated on the 7th that "all companies must build enterprise digital platforms that consider their unique characteristics and business aspects from multiple angles."

At his first press conference since taking office, Won introduced IBM's 'Enterprise Digital Platform' and emphasized this point. He explained, "Many domestic companies are currently pursuing IT modernization, but they face challenges such as complexity due to distributed IT environments, increased security threats, and a shortage of specialized personnel."

The 'Enterprise Digital Platform' introduced by Won is provided in the form of a Cloud Pak solution, enabling companies to quickly build digital platforms. IBM Korea plans to actively support domestic companies across various industries in expanding hybrid cloud at the enterprise level and creating business value through the Enterprise Digital Platform.

The IBM Enterprise Digital Platform consists of four core platforms: ▲Applications (Apps) ▲Data & Artificial Intelligence (AI) ▲Integrated Cloud Management ▲Security. It offers integrated management, monitoring, and policy application functions, supporting cost optimization from an enterprise-wide perspective, real-time detection, and automated incident response.

On this day, IBM Korea introduced AfricanTV and Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation as domestic companies that have pursued IT modernization based on the Enterprise Digital Platform. AfricanTV adopted IBM's systems to strengthen its video service capabilities. Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation recently transitioned its cloud data center, which was being operated on consignment, to an IBM blockchain platform due to the increasing number of local governments using regional currency services.

Won said, "For many companies to expand beyond cloud adoption to enterprise-level hybrid cloud, it is important to solve the various challenges faced by each infrastructure." He added, "IBM Korea will do its best as a partner supporting the successful cloud transition journey of corporate customers by presenting optimized solutions tailored to each company's business environment through the Enterprise Digital Platform."
