Douzone Bizon and SmartMindAI said on the 8th that they signed a business agreement for cooperation on ontology AI technology based on ERP (enterprise resource planning).

Through this agreement, the two companies will jointly pursue a corporate AX model that combines Douzone Bizon's corporate work platform "Amaranth 10," the next-generation business platform "Omni e-Sol," and SmartMindAI's ontology-based AI platform "Qurify."

The agreement aims to convert structured and unstructured data generated by internal corporate work systems into a knowledge structure that AI can understand and use. The two companies plan to work together to structure data accumulated across core corporate operations such as ERP, groupware, and document management on an ontology basis, and expand it to natural-language queries and AI use based on work context.

Douzone Bizon is a leading domestic ICT company that has advanced a business platform covering the full scope of corporate work centered on ERP. SmartMindAI's Qurify is an AI platform that structures internal corporate data based on ontology and knowledge graphs and enables work knowledge search, answer generation, and decision support by combining RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) and natural-language Q&A technologies.

Through this agreement, the two companies will review a structure that broadens the use of existing ERP data and allows users to retrieve, analyze, and use data in natural language without SQL (structured query language) or complex system operations. This is aimed at reducing the burden of repetitive data retrieval and reporting and implementing an AI-based work support system tailored to each role, from practitioners to the Head of Team, executives, and top management. They will explore ways to transform internal corporate data from mere storage and retrieval targets into AI-based knowledge assets that understand work context, and they expect this to drive the spread and advancement of the corporate AX market.

Ji Yong-gu, president of Douzone Bizon, said, "Based on our collaboration with SmartMindAI, we will expand corporations' work data into an AI-friendly structure and deliver tangible AX results that lead to customers' work innovation and productivity gains."

Lee Sang-su, CEO of SmartMindAI, said, "Through the synergy between Douzone Bizon's standardized ERP data and Qurify's ontology technology, we will build a foundation for advanced AI services and introduce a competitive AX model not only in the domestic market but also in global markets."
