Korea Gas Technology Corporation and Douzone Bizon Sign Agreement for Domestic ERP Testbed

Sharing 10 ERP Best Practices for Public Sector Innovation
Expecting a Catalyst for Public Enterprises' Adoption of Domestic ERP
Implementing Smart Public Work Environments through Domestic ERP Adoption

Duzon Bizon and Korea Gas Technology Corporation announced on the 18th that they signed the 'K-ERP Testbed Operation Agreement' at the headquarters of Korea Gas Technology Corporation. The goal is to support other public institutions in testing innovative best practices through the adoption of domestic ERP by using Korea Gas Technology Corporation's next-generation information system, K-ERP, as a testbed.

Through the K-ERP testbed, a close cooperation system will be established, and the exemplary operation cases and know-how of Korea Gas Technology Corporation's K-ERP will be shared with all national agencies. This aims to induce government innovation based on digital transformation (DX) in the public sector. It is significant in that Korea Gas Technology Corporation, the first public enterprise to build a domestic ERP, has established a broad mutual cooperation system to spread K-ERP to other public institutions.

Korea Gas Technology Corporation previously implemented Duzon Bizon's ERP 10 across all business processes, achieving remarkable innovation results by realizing a smart public work environment. ERP 10 is evaluated as advancing and platformizing ERP, setting a new standard for ERP. It adopts technologies that comply with international standards, enhancing development productivity and scalability, and enabling rapid response to changes in the business environment.

In the existing public sector, where foreign ERP systems have been introduced, the 'ERP advancement issue' requiring database conversion by the end of 2027 has emerged. Korea Gas Technology Corporation's domestic ERP is establishing itself as a benchmarking model for related organizations. In fact, Korea Gas Technology Corporation has held briefing sessions introducing the progress and pros and cons of domestic ERP adoption upon requests from about 10 public enterprises and public institutions.

The domestic ERP applied to Korea Gas Technology Corporation is the first case to apply the e-Government framework in accordance with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety guidelines to all business processes, including almost all business processes such as financial accounting, budget management, external and recurring projects, purchasing and cost management, human resources and labor, and strategic planning.

Continuous monitoring of the corporation's audit plans, execution, and operational management is also possible. Through the e-Audit system, first applied by a public enterprise, changes in audit items can be checked, making internal control more transparent. One of the core functions of ERP 10 is that modules can be introduced in desired business process units according to demand, with the possibility of future expansion.

Lee Kang-su, CEO of Duzon Bizon ERP Business Division, said, "ERP is a core infrastructure in all industries today, playing a pivotal role in increasing operational efficiency." He added, "We hope many public institutions can simplify, standardize, and integrate extensive processes across various areas through ERP 10, achieve data innovation, and experience unprecedented value."

Cho Yong-don, CEO of Korea Gas Technology Corporation, said, "Starting with this agreement, we hope to spread excellent cases of public enterprise management innovation everywhere and serve as a catalyst for the adoption of domestic ERP in public enterprises." He added, "We will spare no effort to contribute to the realization of a national-level smart public work environment."
