South Korean cloud services provider Megazone Cloud has been named a Select-tier partner in OpenAI's partner network, the company said on November 9. It plans to combine OpenAI products with its own AI platform to support enterprises from adoption through deployment and operation.

The OpenAI partner network is an official cooperation program launched in June to broaden corporate use of AI. It is aimed at companies with industry expertise, technical delivery capability and an established customer base.

What Megazone Cloud will offer

Under the partnership, Megazone Cloud will expand enterprise AI projects built on ChatGPT Enterprise, the Codex coding tool and OpenAI's API. It will pursue joint sales and technical cooperation with OpenAI for Korean companies, strengthen OpenAI training and certification for its staff, and run joint marketing such as seminars and webinars.

To lower the barrier to entry, it will offer an "AI Starter Package" that assesses a customer's current AI usage, helps draw up an adoption plan and trains employees. It will then add AIR Studio, its in-house enterprise AI operations platform, to handle management and operations after deployment, with a focus on applying AI to existing workflows and scaling it into live services.

Multicloud angle and sector focus

Megazone Cloud also plans to draw on its multicloud business, working with AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure. Because OpenAI models are available through Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud and Azure, customers should be able to build and run AI while keeping their existing cloud infrastructure and security policies.

The company will concentrate on connecting corporate data and legacy systems to AI, taking into account the differing security and regulatory requirements of finance, manufacturing and retail.

Kim Cheol-min, who leads Megazone Cloud's ISV business unit, said the company has experience supporting ChatGPT Enterprise adoption and supplying the API, and that its roughly 200 forward-deployed engineers have validated adoption methodologies using Codex. Megazone Cloud works with about 200 technology companies and serves around 8,000 customers through some 2,000 specialists in 10 countries.
