KT announced that it has been selected as the preferred negotiation partner for the establishment of the 'National Information Resource Management Innovation Information Strategy Plan (ISP)' project, commissioned by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the National Information Society Agency (NIA).
Previously, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety revealed plans to create a roadmap for the relocation of approximately 700 public information systems ahead of the closure of the Daejeon center, which will reach the end of its operational life in 2030. The ministry is working on a phased relocation plan for each system and plans to establish alternative facilities while also promoting the transition to private cloud services.
By March 2027, KT will develop relocation criteria and a phased roadmap for 693 information systems currently operated at the Daejeon headquarters, reflecting the National Network Security Framework (N2SF) and system importance. The company will also propose alternatives for operating public data centers and strategies to redefine the role of the National Information Resource Management Agency in light of the expanded use of private cloud services.
In particular, KT will analyze the security levels and importance of each system to distinguish suitable infrastructure between public data centers and private clouds, comprehensively reviewing economic viability and stability to formulate a phased relocation strategy. The design of the architecture for connecting to the national information and communication network and the establishment of standards for next-generation AI infrastructure will also be pursued.
Kim Won-tae, head of KT's Public Finance Business Division, stated, "This project is a significant initiative to design a new operational framework for the national public AI infrastructure. We will closely collaborate with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and NIA to establish the information strategy plan for the National Information Resource Management Agency and contribute to laying the foundation for an AI-driven government."
