– Five Cloud sales growth of over 60% year-on-year… Accumulated customer base exceeds 2,600
– Explosive growth of over 60% through integration of SMB-tailored cloud and IT solutions
– AWS KPPL 3 consecutive awards, shortest period in Korea
Five Cloud, a cloud construction and management service of Fast Five (CEO Dae-il Kim), a leading domestic office brand, announced on the 14th that it has grown by more than 60% year-on-year to exceed KRW 10 billion in annual sales in 2024 and has proven its profitable business structure by recording an operating profit surplus.
Five Cloud is growing rapidly based on its customized cloud and IT solution integration service for small and medium-sized businesses (SMB). In particular, it has achieved steady growth in major cloud solution sectors such as AWS, Google, and Microsoft 365, and has more than doubled its cloud business size. As a result, it has proven its reliability in the SMB market by exceeding 2,600 cumulative customers.
The integrated service 'Interior Code', which is a collaboration between Fast Five's interior design brand 'Hyphen Design', has shown growth of more than 10 times since its launch. Interior Code is receiving a great response because it can solve space interior and IT infrastructure introduction at the optimal cost and time at the time of office relocation or new office opening.
FiveCloud cited the following key factors as the background for this explosive growth: ▲ All-in-one integrated service encompassing solutions, cloud, infrastructure, and engineering ▲ AWS-based technological prowess and rapid and stable response capabilities ▲ Expertise optimized for the working environment of SMB customers.
Five Cloud operates an 'all-in-one IT partner' model that provides integrated SaaS and cloud infrastructure for SMB companies that lack their own IT staff. It designs a customized IT environment by combining various technology stacks from business productivity tools to public cloud infrastructure, and all of these functions are implemented within a single architecture, including SaaS account management, security, server operation, and cost monitoring. Through this, companies can efficiently operate a stable and secure IT environment without separate infrastructure staff.
In addition, Five Cloud provides a template-type cloud architecture that can be operated immediately after introduction, drastically reducing the lead time for construction. The fast construction speed, flexible scalability, and practical configuration greatly improve convenience and operational stability in actual work environments, and enhance the actual business competitiveness of SMB customers.
It is also achieving remarkable results in terms of technology. In 2023, Five Cloud acquired the 'AWS Advanced Tier Partner' qualification in the shortest period of time in Korea. Since then, it has won the 'AWS Korea Partner League (KPPL)' three times in a row, proving both technology internalization and customer-tailored execution capabilities. This is an achievement as an MSP with the ability to directly perform customer cloud infrastructure design, operation, and cost optimization.
Beyond technology-centric partnerships, FiveCloud plans to further strengthen its role as a customer-oriented MSP. Beyond simple product sales, it focuses on customized IT consulting and operational support that comprehensively considers customers’ work environments, budgets, and growth strategies. FiveCloud’s core values are ▲fast response ▲high expertise ▲customer-centric consulting ▲cost optimization, and it plans to further expand the trust of SMB customers through a field-centered approach that responds quickly to customer requests and takes responsibility for solving actual problems.
Kim Woo-kyung, head of the infrastructure business division at Fast Five, said, “In order to reduce the inconvenience of operating business tools, cloud, and security separately, we created a model that provides integrated support from design to operation,” adding, “Making complex IT simple is the core philosophy of Five Cloud.”
Kim Dae-il, CEO of Fast Five, said, “Five Cloud is a new IT business division of Fast Five and is growing rapidly. We are expanding while gaining trust through services that start from customer needs, and we hope to continue to move toward a wider market and deeper customer value.”
Meanwhile, Five Cloud provides IT architecture tailored to each company’s work style and budget based on operational know-how accumulated through cooperation with hundreds of SMB tenants. Major clients include game company ‘Shift Up’, complex stay space ‘Mangrove Jeju City’, housing inspection company ‘Home Check’, and entertech startup ‘Nomus’, and they are experiencing the effects of cloud infrastructure optimization and improved work efficiency through Five Cloud.
