[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-ho Kim] Woori Financial Group announced on the 24th that it will advance the 'Group Shared Cloud' platform, which efficiently manages the group's IT resources and data and enables rapid application of new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and blockchain.
The Group Shared Cloud integrates individual systems of subsidiaries such as Woori Bank and allocates IT resources like servers and networks only as needed. After use, resources are reclaimed so that surplus resources can be reused by group companies, making it a shared IT resource management platform essential for digital innovation.
Following the successful completion and stabilization of the first phase in the first half of this year, achieving early cloud adoption goals and internalizing management capabilities, the group decided to proceed with this advancement. The cloud upgrade strategy involves expanding to a multi-hybrid cloud linked with external clouds to meet various business needs, including major customer-facing services.
Son Tae-seung, Chairman of Woori Financial Group, recently instructed at an executive meeting, “As various digital projects are being promoted within the group, we will accelerate the cloud advancement to meet the rapidly increasing needs of major subsidiaries such as Woori Bank, Woori Card, and Woori Financial Capital.”
A Woori Financial Group official stated, “Through the successful advancement of the Group Shared Cloud, we will further strengthen the group's digital synergy in 2022 and support the rapid and effective promotion of digital transformation.”
