Samsung SDS said on the 20th that it had completed a project to build Samsung Electro-Mechanics' next-generation enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.

The project is the first case based on the "RISE with SAP premium supplier" status that Samsung SDS obtained in Sep. 2025.

Samsung SDS said it applied Downtime Optimized Conversion technology in this process to maintain business continuity while moving large volumes of data.

In fact, the business downtime required to convert 8.5 terabytes (TB) of data based on the SAP HANA databases was reduced by more than 76%, from 140 hours to 34 hours.

It also said the introduction of the ERP system significantly improved Samsung Electro-Mechanics' IT efficiency and data processing performance. Through Data Volume Management (DVM) technology, it reduced the capacity of the SAP HANA databases from 8.5 TB to 5.5 TB, by about 35%.

It also improved work efficiency by more than 25% by enhancing the performance of key systems such as manufacturing, finance, and cost.

Samsung SDS plans to expand its cloud ERP migration business based on the Samsung Cloud Platform (SCP) with this project as a starting point.

Song Hae-gu, head of the solutions division (executive vice president) at Samsung SDS, said, "This case is a meaningful achievement, being the first in Korea and the first among Samsung affiliates to successfully complete a premium supplier-based cloud ERP transition."
