What UWS Inc. does

UWS Inc. (주식회사 유더블유에스) is a Seoul-based enterprise IT services company founded in 2005 that sells multi-cloud, data, security, AI, quantum, and proprietary blockchain solutions to large Korean corporates. Its service portfolio is organized around five pillars: Cloud Services (migration, architecture, MSA/DBaaS platform development, and outsourcing across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and IBM Cloud), Data Services (big-data platforms, ML data pipelines, and database migration), Security Services (AI-powered endpoint security through SentinelOne, privileged access management through BeyondTrust, and data protection and cyber resilience through Cohesity and Tenable), Quantum Computing Services (IBM Quantum hardware access and Qiskit-based algorithm development), and fintech/blockchain offerings (the KRDC Korea Digital Currency platform, the VENETA distributed ledger technology, and a blockchain carbon-emissions monitoring solution). The business model combines resale/markup on global security and cloud vendor technology with implementation, integration, and ongoing managed-services contracts — i.e., a hybrid of subscription/recurring license attach and project-based professional services — sold via direct enterprise field-sales targeting Korean conglomerates (notably SK Group, Lotte Group, KB/NH/Shinhan/Hana/Woori, LG Chemical, Toss, Incheon International Airport, and the Bank of Korea). Proprietary technology is concentrated in KRDC, VENETA DLT, the Puzzle I e-commerce analytics platform, and seven granted patents plus international trademark coverage for KRDC. A wholly-owned Singapore subsidiary, VENETA Technologies Pte. Ltd., anchors an international push anchored on IBM Singapore relationships. Revenue reached KRW 25,569 million in FY2025 (up 32.9% YoY) with a restored operating profit of KRW 495 million, and the company has publicly disclosed a 2024-2026 IPO roadmap.
