What This Article Covers
A Company That Connects AI, Cloud, and Enterprise Software
In Part 1, we looked at what kind of company Samsung SDS is and the businesses and services it provides.
This time, we will explore Samsung SDS’s competitive strengths and the direction the company is currently pursuing, based on information from its official website.
What Makes Samsung SDS Competitive?
Samsung SDS’s greatest strength is that it does not simply provide a single AI service. Instead, it offers a broad range of technologies and services that help companies use AI in their actual business operations.
Using AI in an enterprise environment requires more than a generative AI model. Companies also need cloud infrastructure, enterprise data, integration with existing business systems, and platforms that can manage all these components.
Samsung SDS supports this environment through its proprietary platforms, including the FabriX AI platform, Samsung Cloud Platform (SCP), Brity, and Cello Square. The company also has a broad service portfolio that allows it to support AI projects through the entire process, from planning and implementation to operation.
AI Full Stack Strategy
Samsung SDS presents AI Full Stack as one of its core strategies on its official website.
AI Full Stack is a strategy that provides the various components required for AI services in an integrated structure. These components include not only generative AI models but also AI infrastructure, cloud services, data, platforms, and applications.
By providing GPU-based AI infrastructure, enterprise generative AI platforms, and cloud services together, Samsung SDS helps companies build environments in which AI can be applied to real business operations.
Enterprise AX
Samsung SDS identifies enterprise AX, or AI Transformation, as an important strategic direction.
AX does not simply mean adding a few AI features to existing work. It refers to transforming a company’s operating methods and business processes around AI.
To support this transformation, Samsung SDS uses its FabriX generative AI platform to connect AI with various business systems. It also uses AI agents and workflow automation technologies to help companies apply AI to their actual operations.
Samsung SDS provides an environment in which companies can use both its proprietary AI technologies and external AI models according to their specific needs. It also supports integration with existing business systems and enterprise data.
Why Samsung SDS Provides Both AI and Cloud Services
Operating generative AI reliably requires more than an AI model. The cloud environment that supports the model is also essential.
Through Samsung Cloud Platform, Samsung SDS provides the cloud environment required to operate AI services. It supports both AI infrastructure and cloud services within an integrated environment.
This allows companies to build and operate AI services more reliably while establishing an AI foundation suited to their own business environments.
DANA NOTES Commentary
Many people focus on the performance of generative AI or the latest AI models. However, enterprise AX cannot be completed with a single AI model.
In a real enterprise environment, AI must be connected to existing business systems. Internal data must be used securely, and the company must establish the cloud infrastructure required to operate AI services reliably. A platform is also needed to integrate and manage all these elements within a single working environment.
Samsung SDS has developed a range of proprietary technologies, including the FabriX AI platform, Samsung Cloud Platform, enterprise software, and digital logistics platforms. One of Samsung SDS’s distinguishing strengths is that businesses can access all of these technologies through a single provider.
Rather than operating separately, these technologies can be connected and applied according to each company’s business environment.
The competitiveness of AX is not determined by the capabilities of a single AI model. It depends on how well a company has built an ecosystem that allows AI to become embedded in actual business operations.
From this perspective, Samsung SDS can be considered one of South Korea’s leading IT companies capable of providing all these components together.
Conclusion
Samsung SDS provides a range of services that support enterprise AI transformation, centered on AI platforms, cloud infrastructure, enterprise software, and digital logistics platforms.
In particular, the company presents AI Full Stack and Enterprise AX as core strategies. It continues to expand the platforms and services that allow businesses to apply generative AI to their actual operations.
As enterprise AI adoption continues to grow, companies capable of providing not only AI models but also the supporting cloud infrastructure, data, platforms, and business systems are likely to play an increasingly important role.
