Obzen Acquires Data Analytics Firm, Accelerates Palantir-Style AI Business Expansion

Obzen, an AI CRM solutions specialist (Co-CEOs Jeon Bae-moon and Yoo Yonghee), announced on December 2 that it will acquire 100% of Jalecia (CEO Lee Sangjun), a data analytics and IT consulting firm. Obzen declared its ambition to become an enterprise AI platform company.

Obzen will expand its business scope beyond its traditional focus on financial and retail customer data marketing to include all industries, such as manufacturing and the public sector, and will actively broaden its customer base to encompass not only large corporations but also mid-sized and small businesses. Industry observers view this deal as a strategic acquisition aimed at accelerating the expansion of its AI business, and as a decisive step toward completing a "Palantir-style data and AI integrated structure" that enables everything from data analytics to AI execution within a single platform.

With this acquisition, Obzen will fully launch its AI platform expansion strategy, targeting all industries-including manufacturing and the public sector-beyond finance and retail. Most notably, since the customer bases of the two companies are clearly distinct, the market reach is expected to expand significantly, and the benefits of a broadened customer foundation are anticipated to materialize immediately.

Additionally, Obzen will absorb Jalecia's business areas, which cover management information, in addition to its own existing focus on customer information. This will allow Obzen to encompass enterprise-wide data systems and expand its business domain to support all aspects of corporate decision-making-marketing, sales, finance, and production-on an AI-driven basis.

The company will also aggressively expand into the mid-sized and small business market. Obzen's agent AI technology enables rapid AI-based transformation of existing systems, regardless of company size, creating a market structure in which large enterprise-level AI automation and intelligence can be provided instantly to companies of all sizes and across all industries. This dramatically lowers the barrier to AI adoption and accelerates the spread of AI throughout the market.

Furthermore, Obzen stated that it is preparing to become a globally competitive AI data platform company by combining Jalecia's global solutions and implementation and operational capabilities with its own platform, aiming to succeed both in Korea and internationally.

With the integration of the two companies' capabilities and performance through this acquisition, an AI data platform company with annual sales of 60 billion won will be created. Unlike many domestic AI companies that continue to struggle with persistent losses and stagnant growth, Obzen has demonstrated "AI monetization" by executing its expansion strategy on a foundation of profitability and stable growth, which is expected to further strengthen its presence in the market.

Yoo Yonghee, CEO of Obzen, stated, "The essence of this acquisition lies in expanding the market, diversifying the business portfolio, and enhancing industry scalability. Just as Palantir implements data integration, AI, and operational automation on a single platform, Obzen will use this acquisition to manage all enterprise data systems within a unified structure and lay the foundation for expanding AI across all aspects of corporate operations, thereby accelerating our business expansion."
