KT said on the 24th that it is accelerating companywide information technology (IT) modernization with three pillars: the "Next IT platform," "Next IT infrastructure," and "Next IT works."
Through the Next IT platform strategy, KT plans to further advance key customer services such as authentication and payment, as well as its data utilization framework, based on artificial intelligence (AI). It also plans to provide more personalized services to each customer on online channels such as KT.com or myKT.
The Next IT infrastructure focuses on building next-generation IT infrastructure with stability and security. Based on "Next IPC (Internal Private Cloud)," KT's next-generation in-house cloud environment, the company will enhance the stability and security of its infrastructure and lay the groundwork for flexible use of IT resources. In addition, it will strengthen IT system backup and disaster recovery to ensure continuity of key services even during outages.
Next IT works focuses on transforming the way work is done by applying AI to real work processes. Centered on AID-X (AI-Driven Everything), KT is applying AI across the entire IT lifecycle, including planning, design, development, testing, and operations. AID-X is a framework that expands the existing AI-based development system AIDD (AI-Driven Development) to the entire scope of IT work from planning to operations.
Ok Kyung-hwa, head of KT's IT division (CIO), said, "Next IT is a strategy to further advance the IT modernization that KT has been continuously pursuing, in line with the AI era," and added, "We will strengthen the stability and security of core platforms and infrastructure and apply AI across development and operations to improve customer service quality and work productivity."
