The Korean Broadcasting System (KBS), founded in 1927, is South Korea's national public broadcaster. A state-owned entity with approximately 1400 employees headquartered in South Korea, KBS provides television and radio services via terrestrial, cable, and satellite platforms. In 2023, the organization reported revenues exceeding $1 billion.
KBS partnered with Rimini Street on July 18, to support its SAP ECC 6.0 system, enabling redirection of funds from system upgrades to artificial intelligence projects. This partnership reduced KBS's annual software maintenance costs by half. Separately, KBS implemented LaON’s Genie intercom systems in its D control room and KBS Hall. This provided stability and beltpack expandability for the broadcaster's seven radio networks, ten television channels, and multiple internet-exclusive services. A KBS report detailed a July 18 telephone call between South Korean President Lee Jae-myung and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, where they agreed to strengthen their countries' strategic partnership.
