Miso Information Technology: “Building Sustainable AI Across Healthcare, Manufacturing, and the Public Sector”
Nam Sang-do, CEO of Miso Information Technology:
“AI Proven in Healthcare Is Expanding Across Industries”
The standard of competition in artificial intelligence (AI) is shifting from model performance to AI that actually operates in real industrial environments. Miso Information Technology, which marks its 20th anniversary this year, defines this shift as a strategy for “sustainable AI.” The company believes that only AI systems built on continuous data accumulation and long-term operation can remain competitive.
In an interview with iNews24, Nam Sang-do, CEO of Miso Information Technology, said, “Many companies still follow a model of building AI once and using it for one or two years. AI cannot be sustained without a data platform as its foundation. Only companies with strong data infrastructure can expand the AI lifecycle while continuously improving accuracy and usability.”
20 Years of Data Experience and a Two-Track Management Structure
Founded in 2006, Miso Information Technology has accumulated nearly two decades of data platform expertise. The company internalized AI operational technologies (MLOps) in 2018 and entered the full-scale industrial AI market with the launch of its multimodal data platform Smart Big in 2023.
As a result, the company recorded its highest-ever performance in 2024, achieving KRW 17.2 billion in revenue, a 61.9% year-on-year increase. It also turned profitable, shifting from an operating loss of KRW 4.5 billion in 2023 to an operating profit of approximately KRW 2 billion in 2024.
Nam attributed this growth to a clear division of leadership roles. After serving for nearly 20 years as CTO and COO, he was appointed CEO in July last year. Founder and former CEO Ahn Dong-wook now serves as Chairman, focusing on global business expansion and mergers and acquisitions.
“Chairman Ahn oversees global expansion and external growth, including M&A, while I focus on domestic business, technology, and organizational operations,” Nam said. “For technology companies, execution speed is critical. Our two-track management structure strengthens both decision-making and execution.”
From Medical AI to Manufacturing and the Public Sector
The company’s most established success has been in the medical AI domain. Nam explained, “Since launching our clinical data warehouse (CDW) solution in 2013, we have secured references from leading medical institutions, including Hallym University Medical Center, Seoul National University Hospital, and Yonsei University Medical Center. Today, healthcare accounts for more than 40% of our total revenue.”
He added that the operational experience gained in healthcare—where data quality and reliability are critical—has become the foundation for expansion into other industries.
Building on this, Miso Information Technology introduced Smart Big, a multimodal AI data platform that connects the entire AI lifecycle, from data collection and refinement to model operation, retraining, and service expansion. The platform integrates MLOps, LLMOps for generative AI, and agent-based AI structures into a single system.
“Developing a good AI model is no longer enough,” Nam said. “What matters is building an operational and scalable structure. Smart Big moves AI from the ‘development stage’ to the ‘operational stage.’”
The company has further diversified its product portfolio with solutions such as Clinical Research as a Service (CRaaS), the LLMOps platform ACTIC, and the next-generation autonomous manufacturing AI platform DAXI.
Nam described the company’s competitiveness as solution-oriented execution. “By applying only the necessary components through proven solutions, we significantly reduce implementation time and operational risk compared to traditional SI-based approaches,” he said.
Targeting KRW 30 Billion in Revenue and a 2027 KOSDAQ Listing
Miso Information Technology is targeting KRW 30 billion in revenue and is preparing for a KOSDAQ listing in 2027. While some projects were delayed last year due to external conditions, Nam said, “This year, demand for AI is translating into actual revenue.”
The company is also accelerating global expansion, focusing on Central Asia and Europe, with differentiated offerings that combine electronic health records (EHR) and personal health records (PHR).
“We see 2027–2028 as the period when overseas business performance will become clearly visible,” Nam said.
Regarding the IPO, the company is considering a general KOSDAQ listing while also emphasizing its technological competitiveness. “AI is not just a technological achievement—it is an industrial system,” Nam said. “Miso Information Technology aims to become a company that builds AI systems designed to operate and deliver value in the field over the long term.”
