On November 13, 2023, the South Korean tech giant Samsung officially confirmed that the company has signed a business agreement (MOU) with Naver Cloud at ‘Ncloud Space’ in Gangnam-gu, Seoul to accelerate the growth of future intelligence office building business at home and abroad.
The main agenda of the MOU is to maintain the security productivity for business operations, and the need for effective integrated solutions to manage the rapidly increasing number of platform services and smart devices is increasing.
Samsung’s Plan
Samsung Electronics plans to introduce a specialized package product to provide an integrated solution for B2B customers by linking the latest technologies such as SmartThings and 5G, which connect various products, with Naver Cloud’s own solution applied to the new Naver 1784 headquarters.
Through this MOU, Samsung Electronics aims to realize smart ‘Calm-Tech’ with devices, solutions, and services that link and efficiently manage all devices in an office building, internal and external solutions, and services.
In particular, we plan to build a total platform for a future intelligent office building that goes beyond simple control of the Building Management System (BMS) and expands to be user-centered, enabling integrated building control, energy access, and security management.
Kim Yu-won, CEO of Naver Cloud, said, “As evidenced by the recent digital twin export agreement signed with Saudi Arabia, there is a lot of interest both internally and externally in Team Naver’s technology.” He added, “Starting with this cooperation with Samsung Electronics, we will export intelligence office building solutions both domestically and overseas.” “We will try to open the path together,” he said.
Kang Bong-gu, vice president of Samsung Electronics Korea and head of the B2B Integrated Offering Office, said, “Naver Cloud, which has high competitiveness in the AI, robot, and cloud fields, and Samsung Electronics, which has the No. 1 technology in B2B-specialized products, solutions, services, and 5G networks, have collaborated to create an excellent solution. He said, “We plan to lead the next-level future intelligence office building market by creating the best customer experience and value.”
