Case Study: Dongkuk Steel achieves improved system performance and higher-quality control with SAP HANA

Improving System Performance with the SAP HANA ® Platform

Dongkuk Steel Mill Co. Ltd., a Seoul-based producer of steel products with about $5 billion in revenue and 2,650 employees, faced growing business demands and a tight budget that strained its legacy IT landscape. The company needed to unlock technology limitations, reduce total cost of ownership, and align administration and monitoring across systems to support digital innovation and higher-quality control.

Dongkuk migrated its SAP NetWeaver, SAP BW, and SAP ERP systems to the SAP HANA platform, using SAP Enterprise Support value maps and Continuous Quality Check (CQC) services for OS/DB migration and go‑live. The migration improved system performance and operational monitoring, enabled IT staff to better run and operate solutions, delivered a smooth cutover with roughly 20% savings on migration effort, and supported higher production output and sustained customer satisfaction.
