Q1. Self-Introduction
Hello, I am Jung-Tae Kim, Manager at the Digital Platform Development Group of SK C&C, responsible for DataRobot Professional Services. In simple terms, our role involves leveraging the global AutoML platform, DataRobot, to perform data analysis, identify success cases, and provide expert services to companies adopting or integrating DataRobot.
Before taking on this role, I worked on digital transformation strategies for financial sector clients, executing related projects, and driving business innovation with digital technologies.
Q2. Challenges Clients Face in Digital Transformation
Many clients I have met recently recognize the growing demand for digital transformation in their businesses. However, they struggle with limitations such as resource shortages, difficulties in hiring DT (Digital Transformation) specialists, budget constraints, and physical constraints in execution.
In such cases, the key is to maximize the efficiency of existing resources to effectively achieve digital transformation goals. Platforms like DataRobot can be a powerful asset in overcoming these challenges.
Q3. A Case Study of Effective DT Platform Utilization
"Data analysts can focus on strategic insights instead of being stuck in repetitive tasks with DataRobot."
Lenovo, a global manufacturer of computers and peripherals, provides an excellent example. They aimed to predict retail store stock depletion with precision to prevent overstocking costs and potential sales losses due to understocking.
Achieving this goal required developing highly accurate machine learning models at a rapid pace. However, the vast amount of R code needed and the difficulty in hiring additional data analysts presented significant obstacles.
Lenovo resolved these issues by adopting the DataRobot platform. By automating the entire data analysis process, they achieved their targets more efficiently than traditional methods. Moreover, analysts could shift from repetitive tasks to gaining deeper insights with DataRobot’s capabilities, exceeding their initial objectives.

Q4. HanSalim Project
Recently, SK C&C was selected for the HanSalim DT project. This project integrates SK C&C’s data analysis platform, AccuInsight+, with DataRobot, an AutoML platform.
With AccuInsight+, businesses can flexibly develop data pipelines and establish a stable deployment and operational environment. DataRobot’s robust AutoML features allow the rapid development of analytical models for most sales items with minimal resource investment.
DataRobot’s industry-leading AutoML technology is expected to play a significant role in the success of the HanSalim project.
Q5. The Need for Integrated Platforms like DataRobot & AccuInsight+
As seen in the HanSalim case, integrating DT solutions can create synergy and drive higher business value. SK C&C offers ‘Accu. Fabric Suite’, a comprehensive digital platform designed to support data-driven digital innovation.
The core of Accu. Fabric Suite is fostering an ecosystem where participants generate vast amounts of data, develop differentiated analytical models, and continuously improve services.
Through this, businesses can intuitively select the right product model for their needs and progress toward achieving their goals. By reducing entry barriers for digital transformation, Accu. Fabric Suite aligns business needs with effective solutions as an intelligent, customizable platform.
Q6. Advice for Data-Driven Business Digital Transformation
"Successful digital transformation is not a one-time success like traditional IT system development projects."
It is a process of setting increasingly higher goals, achieving them step by step, and driving business innovation. Data analysis projects, like digital transformation, do not yield immediate results. Given the rapidly evolving business environment, long-term perseverance is crucial.
Just as small streams form great rivers, patience and persistent effort will eventually lead to remarkable success. If challenges arise along the way, the SK C&C Digital Transformation experts are here to help companies navigate and overcome obstacles, serving as true ‘Evangelists’ in digital transformation.
