LG reported revenues of $44B in 2007 from four business units -- Mobile Communications, Digital Appliances, Digital Display and Digital Media. As a leader in the highly competitive consumer electronics sector, LG's success depends upon its ability to coordinate supply chain activities and share real- time information with a network of contract manufacturers, third party logistics providers and consumer electronics retailers around the world. GXS Trading Grid supports a broad range of e-commerce standards (e.g., EDI, XML, KEDIFACT, RosettaNet and AS2) and extensive global reach throughout Asia, Europe and the Americas. Consolidation of B2B transactions onto a single vendor, GXS, provides LG's IT organization with centralized operations in Korea to support its trading partners based in more than 70 countries.
"Since 2001 GXS has consistently provided LG Electronics with reliable and effective B2B integration services," said SunYoung (Sarah) Oh, assistant manager, Information Strategy Team of LG Electronics. "As we've grown as a company in the last 50 years, so has the complexity of our supply chain. Reducing that complexity was as important to our company as ensuring global integration capabilities and increasing real-time visibility into our trading partner network. GXS is the only B2B integration vendor we have found that can easily support all three of these initiatives."
Prior to consolidating with GXS, LG Electronics used multiple B2B e- commerce providers that were managed independently by local B2B centers distributed around the world. The use of multiple vendors led to duplicate processes and inconsistent capabilities, complicating LG's efforts to manage its trading partner network. Furthermore, the company was slow to respond to trading partner needs and incurred higher costs because of duplicate traffic and an inability to leverage its total transaction volume to reduce its overall B2B e-commerce costs.
"Through its move to consolidate its ERP systems and B2B networks, LG is standing as an example of how a truly global company can operate efficiently and effectively," said Raymond Teh, vice president of Asia Pacific for GXS, "Many companies operate in geographic silos when it comes to their trading partner networks and as a result, they have no idea of the scope of their networks and cannot gain real-time visibility into activities. The consolidation of LG's ERP systems will give the company a competitive advantage in the marketplace. As a global B2B provider with a local presence in Korea and throughout Asia Pacific, GXS is well positioned to help other multi-national corporations based in Asia, and anywhere in the world, consolidate their B2B e-commerce networks."
