Naver Cloud announced on the 10th that it has completed a contract to supply its artificial intelligence collaboration tool "Naver Works" to Catholic Medical Center (CMC). This follows a similar deal with Seoul Asan Medical Center, marking another major hospital adoption.
Through this contract, Naver Cloud will establish an integrated collaboration environment connecting approximately 20,000 employees across 22 institutions. These include Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, Yeouido St. Mary's Hospital, Uijeongbu St. Mary's Hospital, Catholic Foundation, Catholic University's Songeui Campus, and affiliated commercial entities. Email and workplace messaging systems across these institutions will be fully migrated to cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
Healthcare institutions have traditionally been cautious about adopting SaaS due to concerns over data security, privacy protection, and integration with existing systems. However, CMC gave high marks to Naver Works for its superior security framework compared to global collaboration tools, service stability, and reliable operation even under large-scale simultaneous access conditions.
Customization capabilities reflecting the unique needs of hospital environments also proved decisive. Naver Cloud enabled core functions required in medical settings, including real-time PC status display and conditional access control that restricts available services based on connection environment. This approach satisfied both security requirements and operational efficiency.
Naver Cloud plans to expand into intelligent work environments incorporating AI technology, as well as workflow support using message bots.
"The adoption of Naver Works by Catholic Medical Center, which operates the nation's largest medical network, once again demonstrates our technological and operational capabilities," said Kim Yu-won, CEO of Naver Cloud. "We will continue to enhance our services so that Naver Works can be the optimal partner in healthcare and public sectors where security and stability are paramount."
