Evidence-based quality decisions
We keep test results, defect history, and operating metrics in raw form, which leaves reproducible grounds for every decision. The next owner reaches the same conclusion from the same records.
IXC — backing AI transformation with software quality
We back AI transformation work with software quality systems.
Overview
Business overview
IXC was founded in January 2022 as an IT services company. From the Chuncheon headquarters it runs four practices: software QA, cloud, payments, and customer engagement.
Differentiators
Operating principles
Three things that hold on every project.
Design to operations in one place
Design, build, verification, and operations stay in one place without a handoff gap. The same people move with each stage, so the reasoning behind earlier decisions carries forward.
Designed for long-term maintenance
Security, accessibility, cost, and handover are agenda items in the first design meeting. The design standard is a structure still editable three years from now.
