Introduction
Building on more than 50 years of technological heritage to advance the global market in electronic components and smart solutions, SOLUM Company Ltd. produces electronic shelf labels and power and signage solutions.
Different employee working styles and a lack of clearly defined ERP processes created inconsistency in its operations. SOLUM wanted to retain know-how and enable business continuity should its employees transfer roles or leave the company. It therefore sought to transform people-centered, subjective work practices into system-centered, standardized processes.

Unified
“Global one process” for worldwide subsidiaries
“The success of building a clean core with SAP S/4HANA isn’t merely about replacing a system; it depends on enterprise-wide process standardization. SAP Signavio diagnoses our current state based on real data and enables us to ‘assetize’ global standard processes, realizing process-driven management.”
- Jisun Park, Chief Information Officer, Digital Transformation Group, SOLUM Co. Ltd.
