Samsung SDS Strengthens Cloud Migration Business with AWS

[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Samsung SDS announced on the 17th that it is strengthening its 'Cloud Management Service' (MSP) business for customers' cloud migration and expanding its Software as a Service (SaaS) business to the global market through a strategic mutual cooperation agreement with Amazon Web Services (hereinafter AWS).

Through this agreement, Samsung SDS is participating in AWS's exclusive global business network to enhance customer support through cloud technology. This network includes many global companies such as Verizon and NEC.

Since January last year, Samsung SDS has been conducting cloud migration projects for customers in various industries such as manufacturing, chemical, and EPC by applying its own methodologies and know-how for application modernization, including infrastructure migration, containers, microservice architecture (MSA), and DevOps, in collaboration with AWS.

To this end, AWS provides business and technical support for Samsung SDS's cloud migration projects, including marketing, cloud infrastructure, sales, training, and implementation.

Additionally, Samsung SDS is focusing on expanding its MSP business in cooperation with AWS. To maximize cloud capabilities, Samsung SDS recently integrated its organization into the 'Cloud Service Division.' It is also rapidly transforming into a cloud-native company by training a workforce of about 4,000 experts at its Cloud Technical Hub and changing its working methods.

In particular, Samsung SDS plans to accelerate customers' MSP-based cloud migration by combining its industry expertise with AWS cloud technology to plan differentiated products and services, securing a cloud-based remote development/operation system, and strengthening its sales channels.

Furthermore, Samsung SDS has also participated in the AWS SaaS Factory program, which supports the cloud migration (SaaS) and commercialization of partner companies' solutions.

Through this, Samsung SDS will continuously provide various solutions on the AWS Marketplace, such as the AI-based contact center solution ‘AICC,’ AI analytics platform ‘Brightics AI,’ enterprise business automation and collaboration solution ‘BriteWorks,’ and design data sharing solution ‘Nexplant 3D Excellence,’ making them easily accessible to customers.

Hong Hyejin, Vice President and Head of Strategy Marketing at Samsung SDS, said, “We are pleased to participate in the AWS exclusive global business network with the capabilities and technologies recognized through the successful execution of various cloud projects by Samsung SDS. We will expand the MSP cloud business that combines Samsung SDS’s industry expertise with AWS’s innovative services and actively support digital transformation based on cloud technology to enhance customers’ business value.”
