- Applying the global ERP operating standard 'Clean Core'... Building a global business process based on SAP
- Integrating and managing data and processes across global sites... Strengthening transparent management systems and internal controls
- Operating a management information system based on ERP data... Creating a work environment centered on analysis and prediction using AI
Soluem announced on the 4th that it fully transitioned its enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to an SAP-based platform on the 3rd and will officially operate the management information system built on this foundation along with an AI support framework. This project is significant not merely as a replacement of the ERP system, but for incorporating the latest global standard for global ERP operations, 'Clean Core,' from the initial design phase to establish a work system based on global standards.
Clean Core is an operating method that maintains the core (Core) area of the ERP around SAP standard functions while implementing features required by specific business characteristics through separate expansion platforms such as standard APIs and BTP·RAP. Through this approach, system stability, maintenance efficiency, and future scalability can be secured simultaneously.
Upon commencing the project, Soluem established Clean Core governance and operated a procedure to review whether all development requirements could be applied using SAP standards. By prioritizing the application of SAP standard functions and implementing only necessary features in separate expansion areas, it built an ERP system centered on standards.
Through this project, Soluem successfully accomplished three key tasks. First, it standardized business processes that varied by site based on SAP Best Practices and global standard templates, enabling rapid application of the same operating criteria even as new subsidiaries and overseas sites expand. Additionally, programs with low utilization or those replaceable by SAP standard functions were consolidated to build an ERP structure focused on core functions.
At the same time, erroneous information or data that was difficult to trace was cleaned up, and only highly reliable core data was migrated to the new system. This outcome resulted from maintaining the project principle of 'build less, align more with standards' throughout the entire project.
This ERP transition also holds significant meaning in terms of data management systems and management transparency. Previously managed separately by legal entity, financial, logistics, procurement, and production data were integrated into a single system and standard information framework, unifying the criteria for calculating overall performance. All transactions are generated, approved, and recorded within the system, with change histories also managed, thereby enhancing the traceability of closing data and audit response capabilities. Internal control systems such as segregation of duties, approval controls, and IT general controls (ITGC) were also incorporated from the system design stage. The establishment of a global standard ERP is expected to serve as a foundation for strengthening communication competitiveness with stakeholders by improving the reliability of closing information and the timeliness of information provision.
Soluem PI Group Leader Song In-han stated, "The core of this transition was not simply introducing SAP, but implementing the standardization principles consistently emphasized by management into actual business systems." He added, "With a clean system based on Clean Core connecting data from global sites to a single standard, we plan to gradually expand Business Insight and AI analysis functions to establish a decision-making culture based on data."
