What CoreIT does

CoreIT is a privately held South Korean IT services and AI solutions company headquartered in Cheongju, Chungcheongbuk-do, operating since 2012 with 11-50 employees across six branches in Korea and Cambodia. The company is organized around three integrated business lines: a Network Integration (NI) unit distributing and supporting global security and infrastructure vendors (Palo Alto Networks, SentinelOne EDR, Synology, SCOPE IPCAN, OfficeKeeper); a System Integration (SI) unit delivering bioinformatics, ecological/environmental, medical information, and cultural-sector software development and operations; and an AI-based analytics unit producing specialized AI models for medical diagnostics (B-type hepatitis drug management, liver damage and cirrhosis prediction from CT imaging, pet mortality and obesity prediction), metagenomics (body fluid identification), and biodiversity (sound- and image-based species identification of 12 cicada species). The AIBio Lab (생명정보통합연구소, established 2014) acts as the company's R&D engine, executing national R&D projects in genomics, environmental monitoring, and life information analytics for government and research clients.

Revenue mechanics are hybrid: NI revenue is recurring/subscription-style through ongoing security, network, cloud, and IT outsourcing contracts; SI revenue is project-based professional services tied to public-sector and research institute system builds; AI analytics revenue combines subscription access to proprietary tools and project-based R&D grants; AIBio Lab work is largely funded through national R&D projects. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales plus channel/VAR distribution, targeting Korean government agencies, national research institutes, universities, and corporate clients (biopharma, semiconductor, broadcasters, regional administrations). The customer base is heavily skewed toward the public sector and the Chungcheongbuk-do regional ecosystem, supported by an extensive partner roster including the Ministry of Science and ICT, Ministry of Agriculture, KOPRI, KRIBB, Korea NIH, Korea Brain Research Institute, and multiple universities. International exposure is limited to a single Cambodia branch opened in 2022. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts are custom-quoted per deployment, with no disclosed revenue figures.
