[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Chun-hee] SK Engineering & Construction is collaborating with Microsoft to establish a work environment based on Digital Transformation.

On the 30th, SK Engineering & Construction announced that it has introduced Microsoft's business software 'Microsoft 365 (M365)' and the document security system 'Microsoft Information Protection (MIP)' to enhance work productivity and document management efficiency.

SK Engineering & Construction is building a smart work system through the adoption of M365. M365 includes software such as the video conferencing service 'Teams' and the file management solution 'OneDrive.' Through this, SK Engineering & Construction has swiftly transitioned its work environment to a non-face-to-face mode during telecommuting situations to prevent the spread of COVID-19, maintaining work productivity without disruption.

The use of Microsoft's cloud servers has also significantly changed the company's internal file management methods. Previously, file management through in-house servers required periodic equipment replacement and purchasing new equipment to expand storage capacity, causing many inconveniences. However, by using cloud servers, a large volume of documents and information can be stored without equipment replacement or additional purchases, which is expected to greatly reduce operational and equipment costs.

Along with this, SK Engineering & Construction became the first in Korea to introduce MIP, a Windows 10-based document security system. MIP allows free file access on registered company software or web services but blocks access on unregistered services or software. This maintains security while enhancing compatibility with both internal and external users. It has become easier to collaborate externally without additional steps such as setting passwords on documents when exchanging files with external companies.

Lee Jong-hwa, head of SK Engineering & Construction's IM&T Group, said, "We expect that the adoption of Microsoft's operating system will improve both the productivity of our members and the security of document management," adding, "We will continue to strive to create a work environment that can proactively respond to the post-COVID era."

Oh Sung-mi, team leader of the Modern Workplace team at Microsoft Korea, said, "M365 guarantees not only flexible communication but also security for important information such as internal company documents," and added, "We plan to actively support safe business innovation for customers in response to the changed work environment such as non-face-to-face and remote work."
