KT-KT DS to Create Cloud-Based ERP Ecosystem with KSUG

[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] KT and KT DS announced on the 23rd that they will collaborate with the Korea SAP User Group (KSUG) to expand the cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) ecosystem.

Through this collaboration, KT DS upgraded the ERP to 'S/4HANA 2020' based on the KT cloud. This is the first domestic case of KT Cloud being utilized for S/4 HANA.

Based on this, KT DS will launch the customized ERP system developed by KT DS as a KT Cloud VMware service.

The KT Cloud VMware service is KT's public cloud service that allows usage of the VMware platform on a pay-as-you-go basis. Customers who already hold existing SAP licenses (BYOL) can use ERP services through KT Cloud.

While carrying out this project, KT and KT DS also improved the network environment and cloud servers to ensure that S/4 HANA operates smoothly on KT Cloud. SAP S/4HANA must be able to run stably in five aspects: performance stability, security, network, technology, and infrastructure.

KSUG plans to continue promoting cooperation with KT and KT DS to strengthen the cloud-based ERP transition ecosystem.

Yoon Dong-sik, Head of KT Cloud IDC Business Promotion Office, said, “We are pleased to collaborate with SAP, which is leading the global market, through the launch of this SAP S/4HANA service,” adding, “Even after the launch, we plan to provide and support more diverse options to customers using SAP through service advancement in cooperation with KSUG.”
