Company Overview 

Company K is a global living-environment energy solutions company specializing in boilers and water heaters. With environmentally friendly energy technologies, it operates in Korea as well as North America and Europe, continuing stable growth through product competitiveness and technological innovation.

 Business Challenges 

K was operating SAP ECC 6.0 EHP4 as official maintenance support approached end of life. Nonstandard operations and performance issues were increasing, while IFRS requirements for overseas subsidiaries added to closing workloads. Unnecessary CBOs, insufficient batch-schedule control, limited development standards and integration environments, and delays in large batch processing also affected efficiency and stability.

 Why Woongjin 

Woongjin proposed an upgrade roadmap that considered both operational stability and future scalability. It upgraded SAP ECC from EHP4 to EHP7 and improved related environments including SAP Content Server, MAXDB, Solution Manager, SAP Router, and SAP Connector, establishing a stable base for a future SAP S/4HANA transition.

 Results 

The upgrade improved system stability and performance while strengthening IFRS-based accounting support and the efficiency and accuracy of closing. CO maintenance, batch optimization, enhanced development environments, and stronger system integration improved productivity. Optimized dialog programs and high-volume batch jobs, including MRP, also improved user processing speed and prepared K for SAP S/4HANA.
