Samsung SDS Signs Successive ChatGPT Enterprise Supply Contracts... "Expanding Korea's AX Market"

Supplying Enterprise Generative AI Solutions
to Over 10 Companies Including Korea Zinc

Junhee Lee, CEO of Samsung SDS

Samsung SDS has been rapidly expanding its presence in the enterprise generative artificial intelligence (AI) market by signing a series of contracts to supply ChatGPT Enterprise to major companies in Korea.

Samsung SDS announced on March 5 that it recently finalized supply contracts for ChatGPT Enterprise with more than 10 companies, including Korea Zinc, iCraft, and TmaxSoft.

ChatGPT Enterprise is a service designed exclusively for businesses, featuring a security architecture and enhanced management functions that ensure internal company data is not used for AI training.

In December of last year, Samsung SDS became the official reseller partner for OpenAI's ChatGPT Enterprise in Korea for the first time. By January, the company had secured more than 10 clients across various industries, including public, financial, manufacturing, distribution, and service sectors, with customers such as Secta9ine and Hanatour.

Samsung SDS is establishing an end-to-end AI transformation (AX) system based on its 'One Team' support structure, which encompasses AI consulting, development and operations, as well as cloud and security services. The company provides integrated support throughout the entire process, from initial strategy planning and full-stack AI design to deployment, company-wide adoption, and advanced operations.

Additionally, Samsung SDS operates an introductory support program called 'Bootcamp.' The Bootcamp is a pre-adoption program that includes a one-month free trial and three days of dedicated support. Through this program, customers can systematically review all essential elements for adopting ChatGPT Enterprise, including security, system environment, and application direction.

A Samsung SDS official emphasized, "We are strengthening our role as an AX partner that not only acts as a simple reseller but also designs and expands enterprise AI operation systems."

Korea Zinc adopted ChatGPT Enterprise to internalize company-wide AI capabilities, such as its ongoing 'AI-based Smart Smelter' initiative. The company aims to implement an enterprise-wide AI operation system meeting security standards to enhance protection of critical internal information, and to accumulate process and technical know-how as internal data, thereby further boosting its competitiveness in smelting technologies.

iCraft, a company specializing in AI infrastructure design and construction, adopted ChatGPT Enterprise to improve work efficiency among its engineer-centric teams and accelerate digital transformation.

TmaxSoft began applying generative AI to its product development processes in 2024. With the recent adoption of ChatGPT Enterprise, the company has been able to establish a more secure AI-based development environment.

Lee Junghun, Executive Vice President and Head of Strategic Marketing at Samsung SDS, stated, "The rapid expansion of ChatGPT Enterprise supply reflects comprehensive recognition of Samsung SDS's technological capabilities, security reliability, and industry expertise. As the leading AX partner reshaping corporate work practices around AI, Samsung SDS will set a new standard in the domestic market."
