Kyungdong Navien (KD Navien), a leading company in the heating and cooling industry, has recently implemented SAP’s strategic purchasing cloud solution to streamline its procurement processes and support its global expansion plans.

SAP Korea, led by CEO Eunyoung Shin, played a crucial role in the successful implementation of the SAP Ariba Source-to-Contract Suite and SAP Business Network, enabling KD Navien to achieve digital transformation across its entire purchasing business. According to Eunyoung Shin, KD Navien’s decision to adopt SAP solutions was driven by several key factors. (InsideSAP Asia often references articles from websites in other languages to bring you as much information as possible.)

Firstly, the gradual module scalability offered by SAP’s solutions aligns perfectly with KD Navien’s plans to expand its global business. As the company grows and enters new markets, the SAP Ariba Source-to-Contract Suite can be scaled up to accommodate the increasing complexity and volume of procurement activities.

Secondly, the SAP Business Network, which is the world’s largest B2B network, provides KD Navien with access to a vast global supply chain. This network spans 190 countries and handles over $5.3 trillion in annual commerce, enabling KD Navien to connect with suppliers worldwide and streamline its procurement processes.

Lastly, SAP’s solutions offer continuous upgrades and a user-friendly experience, ensuring that KD Navien can stay up-to-date with the latest procurement technologies and best practices. Additionally, as KD Navien plans to implement SAP S/4HANA in the future, the seamless integration and connectivity between SAP Ariba Source-to-Contract Suite, SAP Business Network, and SAP S/4HANA will provide a cohesive and efficient procurement ecosystem.

Kyungdong Navien Implements SAP Ariba Source-to-Contract Suite

KD Navien collaborated with Zen Consulting, a consulting company specializing in cloud purchasing solutions, to implement the SAP Ariba Source-to-Contract Suite. This suite provides comprehensive supplier lifecycle and performance management functions, enabling KD Navien to access and manage various supplier information within a single system. This centralized approach to supplier management facilitates strategic purchasing decisions and enhances overall procurement efficiency.

The SAP Ariba Source-to-Contract Suite also supports the creation of sourcing documents (RFx) in various formats, allowing Kyungdong Navien to request information, quotations, and prices for products and services from suppliers. This streamlined process increases the transparency of the quotation work and improves work efficiency, ultimately leading to better procurement outcomes.

Leveraging SAP Business Network for Advanced Strategic Purchasing

By integrating the SAP Business Network with the SAP Ariba Source-to-Contract Suite, KD Navien has unlocked advanced strategic purchasing capabilities. The SAP Business Network, being the world’s largest B2B network, connects KD Navien with a vast pool of suppliers across the globe. This access to a diverse range of suppliers enables KD Navien to identify the best sourcing opportunities and optimize its procurement strategies.

To further enhance the efficiency of the procurement process, KD Navien has organized the standard processes of its four corporations into predefined templates within the SAP Business Network. This templated approach allows for quick and easy quotation work, reducing the time and effort required to obtain quotes from suppliers.

Moreover, the digital strategic purchasing process facilitated by the SAP Business Network significantly improves contract information management. By unifying the process and ensuring compliance, KD Navien can strengthen its contract cycle management capabilities and gain greater visibility into procurement data. This enhanced visibility enables better decision-making and risk mitigation throughout the procurement lifecycle.

With SAP’s ongoing innovations, such as the integration of natural language generation AI co-pilot solution Joule into SAP Ariba, and strategic collaborations with organizations like Hana Bank and LG CNS, the future of procurement looks promising. As Kyungdong Navien continues to leverage SAP’s solutions to drive its global expansion and maintain its competitive edge, it sets an example for other companies seeking to transform their procurement processes and thrive in the global marketplace.

SAP Korea’s innovative training initiative, a corporate cloud-based program, has garnered commendation from the Mayor of Seoul. This unique educational endeavor, executed under the auspices of the Seoul Software Academy (SeSAC) and the Youth Employment Academy, is designed to foster software innovation talent. This recognition signifies the SAP training program’s substantial contribution to nurturing financial application developers.

Employment-Focused SAP Training Program

The SAP training program, spearheaded by SAP Korea’s CEO Eunyoung Shin, stands out for its rigorous and relevant curriculum. It focuses on imparting in-depth knowledge of SAP S/4HANA cloud-based financial processes and program development. What sets this program apart is its blend of theory and practice. It employs a field-tailored curriculum taught by active consultants, ensuring that participants gain hands-on experience with servers and environments used in actual business settings.

Another key aspect of the SAP training program is its emphasis on employment. Participants are not only trained to understand complex software systems but also prepared for roles as financial module operators, developers, and IT consultants. This holistic approach is evident in the program’s impressive outcomes: a 100% completion rate and a 100% employment rate among the participants.

Collaboration with Seoul Economic Promotion Agency

The success of the SAP training program can be attributed to the strategic partnership with the Seoul Economic Promotion Agency. Under the guidance of CEO Eunyoung Shin, this collaboration has been pivotal in aligning the program’s objectives with the industry’s needs. The synergy between SAP Korea and the agency has been instrumental in creating a fertile ground for developing software talent, as evidenced by the high recruitment competition rate of 5.4:1. (InsideSAP Asia often references articles from websites in other languages to bring you as much information as possible.) 

The program is not just for those with a background in ICT, business, or economics. It inclusively opens doors for non-majors, providing them with a unique opportunity to venture into the world of software development. This inclusive approach is a testament to SAP’s commitment to diversifying the talent pool in the software industry.

Eunyoung Shin’s leadership at SAP Korea has been marked by a decade-long commitment to enhancing domestic software competitiveness. The CEO’s vision has been instrumental in shaping various human resources training programs, culminating in the successful completion of this award-winning course. This initiative reflects SAP Korea’s dedication to supporting young talent in the corporate software sector.

Aligning with National Talent Cultivation Efforts

SAP’s involvement in the government’s efforts to cultivate talents in critical technologies is notable. The company has been an integral part of the Innovative Growth Youth Talent Concentration Training Program, led by the Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIP) and the Institute of Information & communications Technology Planning & Evaluation (IITP). This program focuses on key technologies like Big Data, blockchain, AI, and more, highlighting SAP’s role in creating high-quality jobs in the software industry, especially for the youth.

The youth talent training initiative under SAP’s guidance goes beyond traditional learning. It encompasses sharing insights about the cloud industry and providing practical software development skills aimed at employment in project-based companies. This approach aligns with SAP’s global strategy, as evidenced by the involvement of Rudolf Held, Vice President and Global Head of Partner Innovation Lab at SAP.

SAP Korea’s training program, under the astute leadership of CEO Eunyoung Shin, has established itself as a beacon of innovation and excellence in the software industry. By aligning with the government’s talent cultivation initiatives and leveraging strategic partnerships, SAP Korea is not only enhancing software competitiveness domestically but also shaping a new generation of industry-ready professionals. This program, with its comprehensive curriculum, employment focus, and inclusive approach, is setting new standards in software education and talent development, paving the way for a more robust and diverse software industry in Seoul and beyond.

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.”

The recent announcement of the SAP cloud partnership with Metanet Global in Korea is anticipated to have far-reaching implications. This collaboration is expected to significantly enhance the efficiency of customer operations by providing them access to a wide range of advanced cloud technologies and solutions.

Last year, SAP Korea made a strong and steadfast commitment to the local cloud computing industry by signing a crucial strategic business agreement for public cloud collaboration with Naver Cloud, an internet-based giant, as well as Cloud4C Korea, a cloud-managed services provider. This agreement was designed to foster cooperation regarding public cloud infrastructure and services and reflects SAP’s dedication to promoting the continued development of South Korea’s cloud capabilities.

Fast forward to 2023, Shin Eun-young, the CEO of SAP Korea, and Kim Ki-ho, the CEO of Metanet Global, recently inked a Strategic Business Agreement for Public Cloud Cooperation at a signing ceremony held at the SAP Korea office. The agreement is intended to strengthen their relationship and lay down plans for future cooperation between both parties. During the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signing ceremony, they discussed in detail their proposals regarding potential collaboration in order to explore new opportunities and promote mutual growth.

Marking an important milestone for both companies, SAP Korea and Metanet Global look towards developing a stronger partnership to better serve their customers in the public cloud space. By entering into the said business agreement, the two companies are hoping to explore potential business chances for SAP S/4HANA Cloud in the public sector. Their primary goal is to cultivate a mutually beneficial relationship in order to effectively maximize these opportunities and make them a reality.

Commenting on the latest industry development, SAP Korea Chief Executive Officer Shin Eun-young said in a statement:

“SAP is a company that advances business with an integrated process based on new technologies and advanced cases so that all companies and institutions regardless of the size and type of organization can quickly respond to the changing market and change the way they work. We are providing various support so that this intelligent enterprise can be reborn. We look forward to actively building a public best case that succeeded in transforming into an intelligent enterprise in partnership with Metanet Global.”

Supporting the Public Sector Through the Metanet-SAP Cloud Partnership

The public sector in Korea is in particular need of cloud-based solutions, particularly SAP, to help them modernize their infrastructure and streamline operations. Cloud computing provides organizations with a secure and cost-effective platform for storing data, improving efficiency, and reducing IT costs. Adopting cloud technology will enable the public sector to access up-to-date information more quickly, enabling faster decision-making and improved customer service.

Furthermore, with cloud solutions organizations can take advantage of innovative features such as collaboration tools which can be used by employees both inside and outside the organization. As such, it is clear that the public sector in Korea must embrace cloud solutions if they are to remain competitive in today’s technologically advanced world.

Based on the signed agreement with SAP, Metanet Global will actively promote and propagate SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition and SAP HANA Big Data platform when they are conducting introduction and construction projects of SAP S/4HANA in the public sector. SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition is an innovative cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution that responds to customer-specific issues with a customized approach.

By leveraging the latest intelligent technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and advanced analytics, this powerful software has become increasingly popular among businesses of all sizes around the globe. With its user-friendly interface and comprehensive capabilities, it continues to be one of the most sought-after solutions for companies looking for an efficient and effective ERP system.

Moreover, the agreement allows them to provide more tailored solutions for their customers so they can benefit from the most advanced technological advancement while keeping track of the budget. By doing so, Metanet Global is able to accelerate and lead innovation and change that might come up during such a project.

“Metanet Global is a representative IT consulting company in Korea with high-level consultants and application modernization capabilities and has continued close business cooperation with SAP Korea. It will contribute to the efficient and stable digital transformation of public institutions,” Metanet Global Chief Executive Officer Kim Gi-ho said.

SAP Korea, NAVER Cloud, and Cloud4C have signed a public cloud collaboration memorandum of understanding (MOU) to accelerate the digital transformation of the country’s public sector. This MOU will enable the three companies to share their expertise and resources to provide more efficient and effective public cloud services in Korea.

As part of their efforts to help the South Korean government become a “intelligent government,” SAP Korea and Naver Business Platform inked a strategic business partnership for public cloud cooperation in 2020. The goal of the collaboration was to foster a data-driven innovation culture in the public sector of the country through the introduction of cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and Big Data platform services.

In light of the government’s digital ‘New Deal’ — a policy package estimated to cost 20 trillion won ($16.8 billion) and intended to strengthen South Korea’s business development in a post-COVID 19 environment leveraging digital transformation — the SAP Korea-Naver alliance aimed to increase public cloud solutions. The economic stimulus package, initially unveiled in April 2020, planned to use digital and green innovation initiatives to keep the country’s economy alive. Investment of 160 trillion won by 2025 was proposed, along with the addition of 550,000 employment opportunities.

This year, SAP Korea reaffirmed its commitment to the country’s cloud computing market with the recent signing of the strategic business agreement for public cloud cooperation with internet conglomerate Naver Cloud and cloud managed services provider Cloud4C Korea. The three companies’ expanded partnership was made as a part of a deal for SR Co., Ltd. to migrate its existing IT infrastructure environment, including SAP ERP systems, to NAVER Cloud. SR Co., Ltd., or Supreme Railways, is a railway company that provides express trains — operating out of three stations and has 17 stops for its train services. (InsideSAP Asia often references articles from websites in other languages to bring you as much information as possible.)

Shin Eun-young, Chief Executive Officer at SAP Korea, shared in a statement:

“The IT infrastructure transfer contract of SR Co., Ltd. is a symbolic example of the first S/4HANA transfer since SAP Korea and Naver Cloud signed an MOU to expand cloud business for public institutions in 2020. Based on the business agreements signed with Naver Cloud and Cloud4C, we plan to secure more cases of digital transformation of public institutions.”

Accelerating Digital Transformation with Naver Cloud, SAP Korea, and Cloud4C

The digital transformation project for SR Co., Ltd. marks the first instance of a public institution’s SAP ERP system being moved to NAVER Cloud Platform, an infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) provider that has successfully attained CSAP accreditation (for NAVER Cloud Platform public institutions). As a result of this cloud migration, it is anticipated that in the future, SR Co., Ltd. will have the capacity to swiftly react to shifting trends in IT infrastructure through the utilization of system flexibility.

“Naver Cloud is continuously making efforts to quickly respond to the rapidly changing environment of public institutions and accelerate public digital transformation. We will further solidify our cooperation with Korea and spare no effort to support the successful implementation of a digital platform government,” Park Won-ki, Chief Executive Officer at Naver Cloud, stated.

SAP Korea also successfully finished the project in collaboration with Cloud4C, an SAP global premium partner and an official partner for the Business Transformation as a Service (BTaaS) offering RISE with SAP. In accordance with the terms of the business partnership, the three companies will offer SAP ERP operations and cloud managed services to SR Co., Ltd.  within the NAVER Cloud Platform.

The Naver Cloud Platform environment, in particular, is certified by the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) to provide public institutions with SAP ERP cloud. Additionally, local financial and public institutions are anticipated to have more prospects to move into the worldwide market based on the Naver Cloud Platform, thanks in large part to Cloud4C’s in-house infrastructure network and compliance system across 52 regions in 26 countries.

Commenting on the expanded partnership with SAP Korea and Naver Cloud, Cloud4C Korea Country Manager Peter Seo said:

“Through this cooperation, we are able to expand the support of the NAVER Cloud Platform-based SAP digital transformation journey in the Korean public sector beyond the private sector. We are providing various cloud management services, including SAP, to over 4,000 global companies, and based on this, we will spare no effort to support NAVER Cloud to accelerate its global market entry.”
