The project is a national informatization initiative that includes a large-scale shift to a cloud-native environment.
Because the project scope also includes building a disaster recovery (DR) system, an exception to the restriction on participation by large companies was applied. As a result, major IT services companies such as Samsung SDS and LG CNS also took part in the bidding.
In the bidding results, the ITCEN ENTEC consortium ranked first with an overall score of 99.998. The Samsung SDS consortium posted an overall score of 96.1556, while the LG CNS consortium scored 93.1537.
Price evaluations were at similar levels for the three consortia, and the differences in scores came from the technology and project management assessments. A differential scoring system was applied to the technology evaluation, and ITCEN ENTEC received a perfect score of 90 out of 90. Samsung SDS scored 86.1556 in technology evaluation, and LG CNS scored 83.1556.
K-Edufine is an education administration and finance system used by 17 metropolitan and provincial education offices nationwide and about 810,000 faculty and staff members. The upgrade project for this system will be pursued over 3 years from 2026 to 2028. The project is structured to pursue a cloud transition based on microservices architecture (MSA), the establishment of an integrated disaster recovery center, the introduction of a zero-trust security framework, and the modernization of application services.
ITCEN ENTEC plans to apply its own AI development support system in the process. To this end, it will use AI automation tools such as "Intellicen Code." The tool is used to analyze legacy code and business logic, with the goal of supporting transition work suitable for MSA and cloud environments.
ITCEN ENTEC plans to systematize and carry out the code conversion and testing verification development process. It also aims to establish a collaboration framework with specialized small and midsize public software(SW) companies. Through this, the company plans to enhance the stability of project execution across the entire process, from design to deployment to launch.
With this contract win as a turning point, ITCEN ENTEC plans to expand its public IT business. It will also pursue participation in the next-generation city and provincial administration information system in the future, and it plans to pursue participation in the National Tax AI transformation as well.
Shin Jang-ho, CEO of ITCEN ENTEC, said the achievement showed that the company’s on-the-ground experience and technological capabilities had demonstrated the competitiveness of its public informatization business. He added that the company would carry out K-Edufine stably based on domain expertise, its AI development support system, and mutually beneficial partnerships with collaborators.
