Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are vital for integrating and managing a company’s core business processes, from finance and procurement to human resources and manufacturing. As companies transition from SAP ECC, an older ERP system, to the more advanced SAP S/4HANA, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the new system is paramount. This is where LG CNS’s PerfecTwin ERP Edition steps in.

PerfecTwin ERP Edition builds on the success of the original PerfecTwin, a solution that leverages real transaction data to detect and rectify system defects. The new edition is tailored specifically for SAP ERP environments, utilizing actual data from SAP ECC systems rather than sampled data. This approach significantly enhances the precision of defect identification and remediation, which is crucial for a smooth transition to SAP S/4HANA.

Enhancing System Quality with Real Transaction Data

The PerfecTwin ERP Edition stands out by automatically collecting millions of real transaction records and replicating them in the SAP S/4HANA environment. This massive data replication allows for comprehensive testing and verification, highlighting discrepancies and potential issues that might be overlooked by traditional methods that rely on smaller data samples.

By continuously comparing the outcomes between the old and new systems, PerfecTwin ERP Edition ensures that any defects are promptly identified and addressed. This thorough verification process not only facilitates a successful initial launch but also supports ongoing upgrades and maintenance of the SAP S/4HANA system.

According to Min Bae, Head of the Security & Solution Business division at LG CNS, the PerfecTwin ERP Edition provides unparalleled value by significantly enhancing transaction accuracy and system reliability for corporate clients across various industries. This solution reduces the time and effort required for manual defect detection, which can be both time-consuming and limited in scope, especially when repetitive testing is essential for ERP systems that serve as the backbone of corporate operations.

Global Expansion and Strategic Partnerships

In a strategic move to expand its global footprint, LG CNS is set to launch PerfecTwin ERP Edition in the U.S. market by the end of this month. This follows a series of collaborative efforts with SAP, including a memorandum of understanding signed at SAP’s headquarters in Walldorf, Germany. The partnership aims to develop next-generation ERP systems and has involved joint technical meetings, workshops, and proof-of-concept projects to fine-tune the solution.

In addition to PerfecTwin ERP Edition, LG CNS also showcased its SINGLEX platform at SAP Sapphire 2024. SINGLEX is a global SaaS (Software as a Service) integrated platform that consolidates essential business services such as procurement management, human capital management, marketing, sales, manufacturing, R&D, and quality control. By offering a unified platform, SINGLEX allows companies to customize their SaaS subscriptions according to their specific needs, paying only for the services they use.

The SINGLEX platform demonstrates LG CNS’s commitment to enhancing business efficiency through digital transformation. For instance, in procurement management, SINGLEX extends SAP Ariba’s capabilities with manufacturing-specific features, while in human capital management, it combines LG CNS’s expertise in AI and big data with SAP SuccessFactors to optimize employee experiences through AI-driven job and competency analysis and continuous feedback mechanisms.

The Future of ERP Migration from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA

As companies navigate the complex process of migrating from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA, solutions like PerfecTwin ERP Edition are becoming increasingly crucial. By leveraging real transaction data, LG CNS’s latest offering provides a robust and reliable method for ensuring system quality and performance. This innovation not only supports initial system launches but also facilitates ongoing upgrades and maintenance, helping companies maintain the integrity and efficiency of their ERP systems over time.

The introduction of PerfecTwin ERP Edition and SINGLEX at SAP Sapphire 2024 underscores LG CNS’s dedication to leading the digital transformation landscape. With these advanced solutions, LG CNS aims to support global corporate clients in their quest for seamless and effective ERP system migrations, ensuring that businesses can continue to operate smoothly and efficiently in an ever-evolving digital world.

LG CNS, a leading information technology services and solutions provider in South Korea has sealed a strategic alliance with German tech giant SAP in a bid to bolster the development of next-generation enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions. (InsideSAP Asia often references articles from websites in other languages to bring you as much information as possible.) The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signing ceremony held at SAP headquarters in Waldorf, Germany was attended by high-ranking executives from the two companies. including SAP CEO Christian Klein, LG CNS CEO Hyun Shin-kyun, and Head of SAP Enterprise Cloud Services and SAP Sovereign Cloud Services, Peter Pluim.

“SAP is working together with more than 24,000 SAP partners around the world that are rich in capabilities such as LG CNS to help customers innovate,” expressed Pluim. “Through this agreement, we can accelerate SAP’s efforts to support digital transformation with LG CNS and help it become a sustainable intelligent company.“ 

Pluim shared that SAP, in partnership with LG CNS, pledges to drive innovation in building customer-centric solutions and services.

Building Next-Gen, Cloud-based ERP Systems

SAP Korea has launched several initiatives last year to accelerate cloud adoption in the country in collaboration with both government and private organizations– from introducing the SAP Young Next Cloud Academy, a completely free, hands-on cloud-based education program in partnership with the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry to delivering efficient and effective public cloud services under an MoU signed with NAVER Cloud and Cloud4C. 

This week, SAP Korea reinforced its commitment to accelerate the cloud’s momentum in the domestic market by establishing a co-innovation partnership with LG CNS, a subsidiary of LG Corporation that specializes in digital transformation (DX) leveraging AI, Data, and Cloud. Specifically, the alliance is pegged to develop and operate new ERP systems harnessing SAP S/4HANA for the Korean corporate market, including LG affiliates and, consequently, for the company’s international business.

Under the MoU, SAP will provide training on SAP Enterprise Cloud Service (SAP ECS) processes and IT tools to enable LG CNS to provide TechOps services to customers. From the alliance’s current collaboration model, the multinationals are looking to expand to Managed Service Model and Cloud Application Services. In addition, they will be exploring joint go-to-market opportunities harnessing SAP and LG CNS’ intelligent solutions and expertise as well as creating innovative solutions leveraging SAP technology.

Most recently, LG CNS has become a global strategic partner operating SAP S/4HANA, providing ERP services for the Korean and global markets across industries. The joint initiative with SAP Korea will support LG CNS’ plans to integrate application modernization (AM), artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning with ERP– strengthening its role as a provider of cloud-based ERP systems to help domestic and international customers remain agile, intelligent, and sustainable amidst changing business landscapes.

“This partnership is an opportunity for LG CNS to bring its next-generation ERP capabilities to a global level, and for SAP to expand its customer reach in the Korean market,” LG CNS CEO said. “We will work together to support our customers in their DX transformation journeys.”
