Are you aware of these challenges?
Standardized, automated processes in the meter-to-cash process are mostly dreams of the future. Instead, companies are being held back by enormous operational costs and increasing regulatory requirements.
Energy suppliers often struggle with inefficient grid processes, slow smart meter integration and growing bureaucracy. The consequences are higher costs and delays in grid management.
Many utilities are faced with the challenge of efficiently separating market and business processes, implementing legal changes on time and using existing integrations.
Companies also often struggle with inefficient customer communication and high costs for service requests. There is a risk of long processing times and dissatisfied customers - a risk for service quality!
What is SAP S/4HANA Utilities?
SAP S/4HANA Utilities is the successor to the well-known ECC solution SAP IS-U—and it goes far beyond. With SAP’s modular cloud solutions in the utilities sector, companies in the energy and utilities industry can create an optimal solution portfolio tailored to their specific requirements.
- Digital, Efficient Grid Management: Real-time integration and processing of smart meter data enable the digitalization and optimization of grid operations. With SAP S/4HANA Utilities, energy providers benefit from a future-proof solution that simplifies processes and allows for a fast response to regulatory requirements.
- Market Communication and Process Management: SAP S/4HANA Utilities separates business and market processes, ensuring efficient cloud-based management. Automatic adjustments to regulatory changes reduce manual effort. As the back-end for SAP MaCo Cloud (SAP Market Communication for Utilities), SAP S/4HANA Utilities enables reliable market communication and supports proven integration solutions like CPI.
- Efficient Customer Communication: SAP S/4HANA Utilities enhances customer service through integrated customer engagement. Service agents handle inquiries efficiently via familiar channels such as phone, email, or customer portals. Preconfigured templates for meter readings and installment adjustments simplify daily operations, while an intuitive web interface ensures quick and easy usability.
