SAG / ANSWER CENTER

How do subscription and on-premises differ?

Subscriptions provide regular checks and guidance. On-premises includes installation, connections and handover for your environment; infrastructure, external APIs and additional development are agreed separately.

We first check your servers, data and security rules, then agree the scope of connection, testing, training and handover together. Basic installation starts at KRW 30,000,000 and annual maintenance at KRW 4,500,000 (excluding VAT). Complex security integrations such as single sign-on (SSO) are quoted separately from KRW 50,000,000. Server, GPU and external API costs are separate, and on networks without internet access, checking external AI answers or the live web may be difficult. License and maintenance periods are set in the contract.
