What This Article Covers
In Part 1, we examined how LG CNS is an IT services company that supports companies’ digital transformation and AI transformation.
Among the many IT companies offering similar services, what does LG CNS compete with?
LG CNS’s competitiveness does not lie solely in a particular AI model or a single solution.
Its core strength is the ability to connect AI, data, cloud, and existing business systems, and to build and operate an environment in which companies can use AI in their actual work.
This is also why LG CNS emphasizes AX rather than AI itself.
A Company That Talks About “AX” Before AI
Many companies are adopting generative AI, but simply using an AI model does not change how a company works.
To use AI in actual business operations, it must be connected to the company’s internal data and integrated with existing business systems such as ERP and customer relationship management systems. The cloud environment in which AI operates, as well as security and operational systems, must also be established.
LG CNS approaches this entire process from the perspective of AX (AI Transformation).
It does not simply introduce AI technology. It transforms a company’s data and systems, business processes, and operational environment around AI.
Companies that directly develop AI models and companies that apply AI to enterprise environments play different roles.
Rather than focusing only on creating AI models, LG CNS emphasizes supporting companies in connecting AI with their enterprise systems so that AI can be used in actual work. On its official website, LG CNS also presents multiple business areas together, including AI, AX platforms, cloud infrastructure, data, enterprise solutions, smart factories, and smart logistics.
Connecting the Foundation and Application of Enterprise AI
LG CNS does not stop at connecting external AI models or solutions to companies. It also develops its own platforms for building and operating enterprise AI.
Representative technologies include:
- DAP GenAI Platform
- AgenticWorks
- PerfecTwin
However, these three technologies should not be understood as three completely independent products operating in parallel.
DAP GenAI Platform and AgenticWorks form a connected structure comprising the foundation of enterprise generative AI and the application of agentic AI, while PerfecTwin is closer to a separate solution that handles verification during system construction and transition.
DAP GenAI Platform Provides the Foundation for Enterprise Generative AI
DAP GenAI Platform is an enterprise generative AI platform that helps companies develop generative AI services and apply them to their work.
Enterprise generative AI must do more than answer general questions.
It must organize internal documents and data into knowledge, use multiple AI models, and be managed according to the company’s security, access control, and operational policies.
LG CNS’s DAP GenAI Platform provides functions that enable companies to turn documents and data into knowledge, develop enterprise search and generative AI services, and manage governance factors such as usage, security, and access permissions.
LG CNS describes DAP GenAI Text as an AX platform for developing and deploying language-generating AI services such as document summarization and report writing. Its features include enabling companies to test multiple LLMs, configure services suited to their needs, and apply enterprise governance.
In other words, DAP GenAI Platform provides the foundation for data, models, service development, and operational management required for companies to use generative AI.
AgenticWorks Extends Agentic AI Based on DAP GenAI Platform
AgenticWorks is an agentic AI platform that helps companies design, build, operate, and manage AI agents.
AI agents do more than simply answer questions. They can connect multiple tasks according to a goal, interact with enterprise systems, and perform work.
For example, when an AI agent is applied to a company’s human resources operations, it can analyze documents, find necessary information, and connect to other business systems to perform follow-up tasks.
The relationship between AgenticWorks and DAP GenAI Platform is important.
According to LG CNS’s official announcement, AgenticWorks was built based on DAP GenAI Platform, which had been applied to AX projects in the financial and public sectors, as well as technical cooperation with Cohere. Therefore, rather than viewing the two products as separate technologies existing side by side, it is more accurate to understand DAP GenAI Platform as providing the foundation for enterprise generative AI and AgenticWorks as extending that foundation into the design, construction, and operation of agentic AI.
AgenticWorks provides not only functions for creating AI agents but also a knowledge repository for organizing corporate documents and data, functions for connecting AI agents with enterprise systems, and functions for managing and selecting AI models within a single platform.
It also includes functions for connecting AI agents with existing enterprise systems such as ERP and CRM. LG CNS explains that this allows companies to build agentic AI services without developing separate integration code from the beginning for each system.
The relationship between DAP GenAI Platform and AgenticWorks can therefore be summarized as follows.
- DAP GenAI Platform
Provides the foundation for connecting enterprise generative AI services with data and for developing and operating those services. - AgenticWorks
Builds on foundational technologies such as DAP GenAI Platform to extend into designing AI agents, connecting them with enterprise systems, and operating and managing them.
The two technologies are not completely separate products that independently handle “data connection” and “AI agent development.” They are closer to a structure that progresses from an enterprise generative AI foundation to the application of agentic AI.
PerfecTwin Verifies System Stability
PerfecTwin is a proprietary solution in a different area from the relationship between DAP GenAI Platform and AgenticWorks.
When a company builds a new system or transitions from an existing one, it must verify before actual operation that functions and data work properly.
Testing only some functions through the user interface makes it difficult to identify every error that may occur in complex workflows and large volumes of transaction data.
PerfecTwin is a test automation solution that extracts transaction data generated in the existing operating environment and reproduces it in the new system to verify functions and workflows.
LG CNS explains that PerfecTwin simulates situations in a new system based on actual operational data and helps identify potential errors in advance that may be difficult to detect through manual testing.
PerfecTwin is therefore not a platform that develops AI agents or connects enterprise data with generative AI. It is a technology that verifies whether a new or transitioned system will operate reliably in an actual operating environment.
While DAP GenAI Platform and AgenticWorks support the foundation and application of enterprise AI, PerfecTwin reduces errors and operational risks during system construction and transition.
The Three Technologies Form a Connected Structure Rather Than Three Independent Pillars
LG CNS’s three proprietary technologies can be summarized as follows.
The Foundation of Enterprise Generative AI
DAP GenAI Platform
It provides the foundation for connecting corporate documents and data to generative AI and for developing and operating enterprise AI services.
Extension into Agentic AI
AgenticWorks
Using foundations such as DAP GenAI Platform, it supports the design of AI agents, the connection of multiple agents and enterprise systems, and the management of the overall operational process.
Verification of System Construction and Transition
PerfecTwin
It uses actual operational data to verify the functions, data, and workflows of a new system in advance.
It is therefore more accurate to understand the three technologies as follows rather than dividing them into three independent pillars of AI agent development, data connection, and system verification.
DAP GenAI Platform provides the foundation for enterprise generative AI, AgenticWorks extends it into the design, construction, and operation of agentic AI, and PerfecTwin handles the separate area of system verification.
This structure means more than LG CNS simply possessing multiple products.
What matters is that the company can provide technologies required at different stages, from establishing the foundation for enterprise AI and applying agentic AI to business operations to verifying the stability of newly built systems.
Integrating Multiple Technologies into a Single Enterprise Environment
A company’s AX cannot be completed by excelling at AI technology alone.
The data used by AI must be organized, a cloud environment must be established, and existing business systems such as ERP must also be connected.
Applying AI to manufacturing or logistics sites may also require integration with production equipment, process management systems, and logistics operations systems.
LG CNS provides multiple business areas together, including:
- AI and AX platforms
- Data
- Cloud and IT infrastructure
- Enterprise solutions
- Smart factories
- Smart logistics
- Consulting
On its official website, LG CNS also presents AI, data, cloud infrastructure, ERP and enterprise software, smart factories, and smart logistics as its main business areas.
When a company separately selects an AI company, a data company, a cloud company, and a systems integration company, coordinating the overall project can become complicated.
Each technology may use different data formats and operating methods, and it may also become difficult to determine the scope of responsibility when failures or security problems occur.
LG CNS can design and build multiple technologies within a single system according to a company’s requirements and connect them through to operation.
The ability to integrate multiple technologies within an actual enterprise environment, rather than merely possessing individual technologies, is one of LG CNS’s core competitive strengths.
Experience Across Industries, from Manufacturing to the Public Sector
LG CNS does not conduct business for only one specific industry.
It has carried out digital transformation and systems construction projects across various sectors, including manufacturing, finance, public institutions, logistics, and services.
Each industry has different working methods and system requirements.
In manufacturing, production equipment and process data must be connected. In finance, transaction data, business systems, security, and regulations must be considered together.
Public institutions and logistics also have different business structures and operating conditions.
However, some processes are commonly required across industries.
- Organizing and connecting data
- Building cloud and IT infrastructure
- Integrating existing business systems with new technologies
- Verifying that systems operate properly
- Operating the systems reliably after implementation
Experience accumulated through projects in multiple industries can be used to analyze a new company’s work environment and design systems suited to that company.
While proprietary technologies represent competitiveness in products and platforms, experience across industries can be understood as competitiveness in construction, integration, and operation that applies those technologies to actual sites.
Why LG CNS’s Role Is Becoming More Important in the AI Era
As generative AI advances, choosing the highest-performing AI model is not the only important issue for companies.
They must also connect AI to enterprise data, integrate it naturally with existing systems, and make it stable enough for use in actual work.
Even when a company adopts an AI model, its scope of use may remain limited if it is not connected to internal data or is separated from existing business systems.
As companies expand their use of AI, the importance of the following capabilities may also increase.
- Organizing enterprise data so that AI can use it
- Connecting AI with existing business systems
- Integrating and managing multiple AI agents
- Establishing cloud and security environments together
- Verifying the stability of new systems
- Continuously operating implemented systems
This is also why LG CNS emphasizes AX rather than AI itself.
The company places at the center of its business not the sale of a single AI technology, but the role of connecting data, systems, and operating environments so that companies can use AI in actual work.
Conditions for Competitiveness to Translate into Actual Results
Possessing proprietary platforms and multiple business areas does not automatically complete AX competitiveness.
What matters is how reliably these technologies are connected and operated in actual enterprise projects.
DAP GenAI Platform must be used as a foundation for connecting enterprise data with generative AI, while AgenticWorks must build on that foundation and lead to the actual design, construction, and operation of AI agents.
PerfecTwin must also do more than simply exist as a product. What matters is how accurately it identifies errors before actual operation and reduces operational risks in new systems.
The advantage of providing multiple technologies together is also different from simply bundling those technologies for sale.
LG CNS must understand the company’s work structure, select the necessary technologies, and integrate them into a single operating environment.
The same applies to its experience across industries.
Project experience in manufacturing, finance, the public sector, and logistics becomes actual competitiveness when it leads to design, construction, and operational capabilities suited to the environment of a new customer.
LG CNS’s AX competitiveness therefore depends less on the number of technologies and products it possesses than on how consistently it can implement its proprietary platforms, systems integration capabilities, and industry experience in actual projects.
DANA NOTES Commentary
Many people still think of LG CNS as an “SI company” that builds enterprise systems on behalf of its customers.
Systems construction and integration remain important parts of LG CNS’s business.
However, in the AI era, the targets of systems integration are changing.
In the past, the focus was on connecting servers, databases, and business systems. Now, companies must also connect generative AI and AI agents, enterprise data and cloud environments, and existing business systems such as ERP.
From this perspective, LG CNS’s existing SI experience is not simply a legacy business separated from AX. It can instead serve as a foundation for applying enterprise AI to actual systems.
LG CNS’s competitiveness is difficult to attribute to a particular AI model or a single platform.
Its core strength lies in the combination of DAP GenAI Platform, which provides the foundation for enterprise generative AI; AgenticWorks, which extends that foundation into the design and operation of agentic AI; PerfecTwin, which verifies system stability; and the integration experience required to connect these technologies with companies’ existing systems.
However, the three technologies should not be simplified into three independent pillars.
DAP GenAI Platform and AgenticWorks form a connected relationship between the foundation and extension of enterprise AI, while PerfecTwin performs the separate role of system verification.
The competitiveness of LG CNS as an AX specialist company should ultimately be judged not by how many AI products it possesses, but by how effectively it builds an environment in which companies can actually use and reliably operate AI.
What to Watch Going Forward
Going forward, it will be necessary to examine how LG CNS’s AX strategy is translated into actual business.
First, it will be important to see how widely AgenticWorks, which was built based on DAP GenAI Platform, is used in actual enterprise projects.
Second, it will be necessary to determine whether AI agents created through AgenticWorks move beyond demonstration services and are reliably connected to actual business systems such as ERP and CRM.
Third, it will be important to examine whether AI, data, cloud, and enterprise solutions are not merely provided as separate businesses, but are organically integrated within a single AX project.
Fourth, it will also be necessary to assess how effectively verification technologies such as PerfecTwin reduce actual errors and operational risks during system transitions and new system construction.
Fifth, it will be important to see whether experience accumulated in manufacturing, finance, the public sector, and logistics develops into repeatable competitiveness for new customers and overseas business.
Companies are moving from testing AI to establishing it in actual business operations.
In this process, LG CNS’s competitiveness will be demonstrated not by the expression AX itself, but by whether the company actually builds an environment that connects enterprise data and systems and allows AI to be operated continuously.
