"Supporting AI Transformation Across Diverse Industries"

Samsung SDS will launch its artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure service, built using Nvidia chips, next month. The company also expects to achieve tangible results from its collaboration with OpenAI on "ChatGPT Enterprise" within the first quarter.

Lee Junhee, CEO of Samsung SDS, announced this at a press conference held at the Samsung SDS booth inside the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) during CES 2026 on the 7th (local time). Meeting with reporters at the exhibition hall, he stated, "We have introduced hundreds of units of the B300, Nvidia's latest graphics processing unit model, and will complete preparations by next month to launch the AI infrastructure service."

Samsung SDS provides customized global cloud services for customers, centering on its own "Samsung Cloud Platform (SCP)" as well as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). In particular, through its generative AI platform "FabriX," the company connects various large language models (LLMs), including Samsung's proprietary LLM, to enterprise work systems. Additionally, as the first domestic company to become a reseller partner for OpenAI's "ChatGPT Enterprise," Samsung SDS supplies enterprise-customized generative AI services.

CEO Lee said, "We announced the reseller partnership agreement for OpenAI's ChatGPT Enterprise in December last year, and far more companies than expected have shown interest. We expect to see significant, visible results as early as this month or within the first quarter."

On this day, he unveiled the company's AI full-stack strategy in preparation for the "Agentic AI" era. The plan is to accelerate enterprises' AI transformation by leveraging capabilities that span the entire spectrum, from AI infrastructure to platforms and solutions. CEO Lee stated, "Generative AI has become a core driver that determines corporate competitiveness, going beyond simple technological innovation. Furthermore, it is evolving into agentic AI, which recognizes and executes tasks autonomously."

In terms of AI solutions, Samsung SDS's procurement and supply chain management (SRM) SaaS was supplied last year to three major server and PC clients and is currently undergoing user acceptance testing (UAT). Regarding this, Haegu Song, Vice President and Head of Solution Business at Samsung SDS, said, "We expect to go live soon, and after that, we will likely be able to disclose the names of the client companies. We are also about to sign a contract with another electrical and HVAC manufacturer within the first quarter."

Based on these AI full-stack capabilities, Samsung SDS is also promoting the adoption of AI in the public sector. As a private cloud service provider at the National Information Resources Service Daegu Center, the company offers SCP-based cloud, AI, and GPU services, and is carrying out projects such as the "Pan-Government AI Common Platform" and "Intelligent Work Management Platform" for the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the Ministry of Science and ICT.

The Pan-Government AI Common Platform is a system that enables central and local governments to jointly utilize LLMs, GPUs, and data via the generative AI platform "FabriX," with the goal of improving public service quality and work efficiency by linking internal administrative documents and data. The Intelligent Work Management Platform is a project to migrate the Onnara system, used by about 300 public institutions and 720,000 users, to a private cloud-based SaaS, reducing simple and repetitive work and enhancing productivity through an AI collaboration environment.

At its exclusive exhibition hall, Samsung SDS showcased changes in future work styles through demonstrations based on AI agents. The company introduced various AI agent scenarios centered on a typical workday for employees in the public, financial, and manufacturing sectors. Scenarios included harmful video analysis and reporting, card membership screening, and virtual customer research-use cases that can be immediately applied in real work environments.

For example, a government department official receives a briefing on the day's key schedule and work from Samsung SDS's "Personal Agent" immediately upon arriving at work, and can instantly access additional information and context needed for task execution. CEO Lee said, "It is meaningful to be able to present Samsung SDS's AI full-stack capabilities for enterprise AX at CES 2026," adding, "Based on the technologies unveiled this time, we will actively support the realization of AI transformation (AX) across various industries, including public, financial, and manufacturing sectors."
