Samsung SDS said on the 14th that it signed an IT integrated operations (ITO) contract with S-OIL.
Under the contract, starting in March next year through 2029, for three years, Samsung SDS will integrate and manage S-OIL's overall IT infrastructure, including its data center, and applications. Samsung SDS said it plans to accelerate S-OIL's digital transformation by advancing IT governance, providing customer-tailored IT diagnostics and consulting, and supporting cloud migration.
S-OIL had operated its existing infrastructure and applications separately, but pursued a shift to an integrated ITO framework to respond to changes in the technology environment and strengthen service competitiveness. Through this contract, S-OIL said it plans to begin in earnest to enhance operational efficiency and stability and to build a digital ecosystem based on a reinforced security infrastructure.
Ryu Yeol, president of S-OIL, said, "This integrated ITO contract with Samsung SDS is an important first step for S-OIL's digital innovation," adding, "We expect to maximize the stability and efficiency of IT service operations through cooperation with Samsung SDS and proactively respond to the rapidly changing business environment."
Lee June-hee, president and CEO of Samsung SDS, said, "This contract is the starting point of a partnership in which the two companies open the future together," adding, "Samsung SDS will create synergy through cooperation with S-OIL and further strengthen its competitiveness in the global market."
