Integrated Platform for AI Consulting Business Completed Without Initial Investment Burden | KMAC

■ AI Consulting Business Expansion's Biggest Barrier: Initial Infrastructure Investment

To expand business beyond existing consulting areas into the AI field, a powerful infrastructure capable of supporting all processes, from data analysis to AI model development, is required. Specifically, high-performance GPUs and an integrated AI platform are essential to smoothly implement LLM-based Q&A functions and handle large-scale data analysis.

The Korea Management Association Consulting (KMAC) needed a powerful, company-wide integrated AI platform for use in government-supported projects and private consulting. However, constructing H100-based infrastructure independently would have incurred massive initial investment costs and ongoing maintenance burdens, which were expected to create significant difficulties in project promotion.

To solve these challenges, KMAC adopted a combination of the Runyour AI cloud and the integrated AI platform Yennefer. By securing top-tier infrastructure and an all-in-one AI platform at once without initial construction cost burdens, they prepared an environment where they could immediately begin their AI consulting business.

 

■ Cloud PaaS Completed at Once, from Infrastructure to Platform

Building H100 resources necessary for running large-scale AI models on internal infrastructure causes massive initial investment burdens. Runyour AI supported the stable utilization of top-tier computing resources for the necessary periods without initial construction cost burdens through a subscription-based rental model. Through this, KMAC was able to secure top-tier environments while drastically reducing infrastructure adoption budgets.

Simply providing Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) makes it difficult to complete the work flows required for AI consulting businesses. Runyour AI combined its integrated AI platform, Yennefer, to build KMAC AI Studio. By providing a powerful PaaS environment where data storage, model development, and visualization can be handled one-stop on the cloud, all processes of consulting work could be operated on a single platform.

Cloud-based environments enabled collaboration without limitations in time and space. As consulting businesses are conducted while collaborating with various clients, an environment accessible stably from anywhere at any time is important. KMAC was able to secure accessibility and scalability simultaneously, which are difficult to acquire with internally built infrastructure—through a cloud-based platform.

 

■ Infrastructure Budget Savings and a Flexible Business Collaboration Ecosystem

Following the adoption of Runyour AI and Yennefer, KMAC significantly reduced its H100 adoption budget and became able to perform all processes, from data analysis to visualization and generative AI model operation, on a single platform. Thanks to the cloud-based environment, flexible collaboration without limitations in time and space became possible.

The KMAC case demonstrates that Runyour AI can function as a partner that designs integrated AI environments necessary for business expansion, beyond merely providing GPU resources. By securing infrastructure and platforms at once, a solid foundation was prepared for expanding consulting areas into AI businesses.
