Samsung SDS on April 22 outlined a strategy to accelerate digital transformation in the financial sector by applying generative artificial intelligence across IT work, from coding automation to modernizing legacy systems.
The company held an “Industry Day” seminar for financial clients, presenting its approach and case studies using generative AI and AI agents. Industry Day is a series that invites customers from key sectors — including finance, the public sector, manufacturing and retail, and defense — to share core solutions and real-world deployments.
Samsung SDS said the session was organized as financial firms move faster to adopt AI, and it offered an execution plan aimed at advancing both business automation and IT system upgrades.
The company said it has recently won projects including Woori Bank’s “AI agent banking” initiative and a mid- to long-term IT infrastructure optimization program. About 150 IT managers and decision-makers from banks, insurers and securities firms attended the event.
In a keynote address, Lee Ji-hwan, head of the financial consulting team and a managing director, presented AI capabilities applicable to finance and described innovation cases, proposing a digital transformation strategy tailored to financial environments.
Presentations also covered the next-generation insurance system NFC (NexFinance Core) 2.0, development automation using AI code agents, AI-based modernization of financial code, data platform buildout plans, and a collaboration model using the company’s Global Development Center, or GDC.
Samsung SDS highlighted a code modernization case in which it used AI agents to convert a domestic securities firm’s C-language system to Java, positioning the approach as a way to address legacy upgrades that have been delayed by high costs and shortages of specialized staff.
The company said its AI agent platform, FabriX, automates such code conversion to support system modernization. It also emphasized its GDC collaboration model, which it said operates about 5,000 personnel across China, Vietnam and India, as a way to ease IT staffing constraints and speed digital transformation.
Samsung SDS said it plans to expand the series by industry — including manufacturing and distribution and services — following a public-sector seminar held in March, and to continue sharing AI-driven innovation strategies.
“This seminar is a place to share AI innovation directions and execution cases that can be applied across the financial industry,” said Hwang Su-yeong, executive vice president in charge of financial services at Samsung SDS. “We will continue to support the financial industry’s digital transformation based on our technology and experience.”
