LG CNS Joins SAP Regional Strategic Services Partner Initiative in Asia Pacific

LG CNS today announced that it has joined SAP^® Regional Strategic Services Partner (RSSP) initiative, established by SAP Asia Pacific (APAC) to amplify the capabilities and reach of established partners in the APAC region that are on a rapid growth trajectory. Through the RSSP initiative, SAP will provide strategic support to eligible partners, which may include coordinated industry-aligned solutions, joint go-to-market strategy, and access to SAP regional and market unit industry expertise.

The RSSP initiative will enable LG CNS to scale its SAP practice more quickly across the APAC region and collaborate more closely with SAP to deliver joint customer success. Distinct from SAP’s existing Global Strategic Services Partner (GSSP) program that includes a select group of the company’s most strategic global partners in the consulting, infrastructure, and technology space, the RSSP initiative aims to facilitate collaboration within partner entities residing in the region that demonstrate capability and capacity requirements specific to the needs of customers in APAC.

LG CNS is the fourth partner in Asia Pacific, and the first from Korea, to join the SAP RSSP initiative. The company plans to expand its cloud ERP business beyond Korea to the broader Asia-Pacific market. This builds on top of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed with SAP at its headquarters in Walldorf, Germany, back in 2023, and LG CNS has continuously strengthened its cooperation to drive cloud ERP service innovation since then.

LG CNS is driving next-generation ERP and SAP S/4HANA migration by combining its accumulated ERP expertise with AI, cloud, and big data technologies. This enhances the efficiency and stability of cloud ERP, enabling clients to maintain uninterrupted operations even in rapidly changing business environments.

LG CNS also delivers differentiated value to SAP clients in the Asia-Pacific region through its proprietary, proven solutions. One example is ‘PerfecTwin ERP Edition,’ a testing solution that preemptively detects potential errors during the migration of SAP S/4HANA. Another is ‘SINGLEX,’ a SaaS (Software as a Service) platform that integrates procurement management, CRM, R&D, quality management, and HR function.

Hanshin Nae, Senior Vice President of LG CNS Enterprise Solutions Division, stated, “We will actively support clients in the Asia-Pacific region in driving business innovation through cloud ERP. With LG CNS’s AX expertise and solutions, we will further enhance client value.”

“SAP has a vibrant and fast-growing partner ecosystem in the region. Many of our APAC-headquartered partners have thousands of SAP-certified consultants worldwide, delivering hundreds of SAP-related projects every year. We have a unique opportunity to do more with our regional partners and drive more innovations and benefits to customers,” said Utkarsh Maheshwari, Senior Vice President & Head of Global Partner Sales & Services, SAP. “Welcome and congratulations to LG CNS on joining SAP Regional Strategic Services Partner initiative.”

To qualify for SAP RSSP initiative, candidate partners are required to meet or exceed a defined set of SAP criteria including geographical presence, vertical industry competencies, and alignment on a joint sustainability strategy.
