Kolon Benit said on the 18th that it announced next year's artificial intelligence (AI) solution business strategy at "SAS Partner Day 2025" held on the 17th, and unveiled to partners for the first time its core strategic products, "SAS SpeedyStore" and "SAS Data Maker."
Kolon Benit unveiled its 2026 business roadmap that day. Based on experience accumulated across various industries, including public, finance, manufacturing and distribution, the strategy is to accelerate market response by strengthening collaboration with partners. At the event, along with the mid- to long-term business direction, the company presented "Partner of the Year" and "Rapid Growth Partner" awards to outstanding collaborators. The company reaffirmed its commitment to building a sustainable ecosystem with joint growth with partners as a core pillar.
Starting next year, Kolon Benit will put AI-based analytics and decision-making solutions front and center. Through "SAS Agentic AI," which automates data analysis and forecasting and advances the level of decision-making, the company plans to raise customers' AI utilization by a notch. SAS Agentic AI provides a practical framework that allows corporations to adopt responsible AI, with a structure that includes autonomous decision-making functions and takes ethical governance into account.
The Generative AI-based synthetic data solution "SAS Data Maker" was also presented as a key strategic product. It was described as an alternative that can simultaneously solve constraints on data use and a shortage of AI training data in an environment of strengthened personal information protection regulations, providing a safe model development environment. The next-generation data engine "SAS SpeedyStore" can rapidly load and process large-scale data, improving efficiency in analytics and AI modeling. With high utility in manufacturing and finance, where real-time decision-making is important, it is cited as a core product for SAS-based data operations modernization next year.
In this way, Kolon Benit plans to lay the groundwork for expanding the use of synthetic data in the domestic market around SAS's core product lines and to strengthen industry-specific analytics environments. The company also said it will expand collaboration models with partners starting next year, including PoC (proof of concept), joint proposals and technical seminars.
Jeong Sang-seop, an executive director at Kolon Benit, said, "2026 will be a period when AI-based decision-making becomes central to industrial innovation," adding, "Kolon Benit will do its part to raise customers' level of data utilization by a notch, based on SAS's technological competitiveness and close cooperation with partners."
