Douzone Bizon said on Tuesday it will work with Samil Accounting Corp (Samil PwC) to upgrade the ARIX model (AI Readiness Index), which diagnoses companies' preparedness for AI transformation (AX).

ARIX is a diagnostic framework for corporate AX. The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding in December and have since completed pilot ARIX assessments for more than 30 companies.

Through the cooperation, Douzone Bizon will support efforts to refine and expand the ARIX diagnostic model. It plans to reflect its capabilities in processing work data accumulated across corporate systems such as ERP, groupware and document management, as well as real deployment and operation cases of AI solutions including ONE AI, in the diagnostic indicators. It also plans to detail evaluation criteria tailored to corporate realities by industry and size.

According to the company, the ARIX diagnostic model comprehensively reflects an organisational perspective and evaluates corporate AI maturity and readiness across 5 key areas: leadership and governance, technology and infrastructure, data management, AI security and compliance, and business application. It also derives practical investment priorities and an execution roadmap.

Yong-gu Ji (지용구), president and co-CEO who oversees Douzone Bizon's AX business, said, "The starting point for corporate AX is accurately knowing the current level." He added, "We will practically support the AI transformation of domestic companies by establishing a complete system that runs from diagnosis to roadmap to execution."
