LG CNS Joins SAP Regional Strategic Services Partner Initiative in Asia Pacific
LG CNS, a leading digital transformation company based in South Korea, has recently announced its participation in SAP's Regional Strategic Services Partner (RSSP) initiative, aimed at leveraging local expertise to enhance business offerings across the Asia Pacific (APAC) region. This initiative by SAP seeks to expand the capabilities of established partners in APAC and create a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and effective solutions tailored to customer needs.
This partnership signifies a meaningful step for LG CNS, making it the fourth organization in Asia Pacific and the first from Korea to enter this prestigious program. The RSSP initiative is designed to support partners by offering strategic resources, joint marketing strategies, and access to region-specific industry knowledge. This collaboration aims to optimize customer experiences and drive business success in an ever-changing technological landscape.
One key advantage of joining the SAP RSSP is the accelerated growth of LG CNS’s SAP practices across the region. By aligning with SAP’s strategy, LG CNS is better positioned to offer comprehensive solutions in cloud ERP and support clients as they navigate their digital transformation journeys. This joining also builds on the memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed between SAP and LG CNS in 2023, which allowed both companies to consolidate their efforts in developing innovative cloud ERP services.
Leveraging its deep expertise in ERP, LG CNS is poised to enhance SAP S/4HANA migrations by integrating cutting-edge technologies from domains such as artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and big data analytics. This combination is set to not only improve the efficiency of cloud ERP systems but also ensure stability, which is vital for businesses facing rapid market shifts. Clients will benefit from LG CNS's proven solutions, including the 'PerfecTwin ERP Edition,' which proactively identifies potential issues during SAP migrations, and 'SINGLEX,' a SaaS platform that streamlines various management processes—including procurement, customer relationship management (CRM), research and development (RD), quality control, and human resources—and improves overall operational agility.
Hanshin Nae, the Senior Vice President of LG CNS's Enterprise Solution Division, expressed confidence in their new role within the RSSP initiative, stating that they would be dedicated to driving innovation and enhancing the value proposition for clients in the APAC region. The firm aims to empower organizations to innovate effectively through its refined cloud ERP capabilities.
As LG CNS joins the SAP RSSP initiative, it highlights the growing partner ecosystem SAP is cultivating in APAC. Utkarsh Maheshwari, Senior Vice President of Global Partner Sales and Services at SAP, emphasized the importance of local partnerships in realizing innovative solutions and enhancing customer benefits. He welcomed LG CNS while noting that the regional partners have an extensive network of certified SAP consultants actively engaging in numerous SAP-related projects each year.
To qualify for SAP's RSSP, candidates are assessed against a rigorous set of criteria that include geographical presence, vertical industry capabilities, and alignment with sustainability strategies, ensuring that partner organizations can meet the diverse needs of customers in APAC effectively.
As LG CNS continues to spearhead advancements in areas such as AI transformation, cloud capabilities, and smart logistics, the collaboration with SAP is expected to bolster its standing in the industry, ultimately providing innovative solutions for sectors like finance, manufacturing, and beyond. Their commitment to digital solutions will enable clients to maintain competitiveness in a global market that is continuously evolving.
