Case Study: Kolon Group achieves faster data processing and lower IT costs with SAP S/4HANA

How Did Faster Data Processing Help a Major Chemical Company Streamline Operations and Cut Costs

The Kolon Group, a major South Korean chemical company, faced challenges with its SAP ERP and SAP Business Warehouse systems as rapidly increasing data loads slowed performance and raised hardware costs. To address this, the company sought assistance from SAP to increase efficiency and improve real-time data access.

By working with SAP Digital Business Services, Kolon Group transitioned to SAP S/4HANA and the SAP Fiori user experience. This solution delivered greater work efficiency through real-time processing and faster workflows. The measurable results were significant, including a 75% reduction in data storage, financial data access that was up to 145 times faster, and an expected 30% reduction in infrastructure hardware costs over ten years.
