Dear Utilities Community,
I edit our Utilities newsletter, and my big challenge is finding utilities-related information, sorting and editing, to then share it with you as a tool to support your decision making processes.
Digital transformation is a hot topic and the process of preparing for the future is starting now. The in-memory capabilities of SAP S/4HANA extend way beyond the limitations of traditional ERP systems: It combines machine learning based process automation with predictive business processes and provides decision makers with accurate real-time insights.
Many of you would like to know which utilities companies already using SAP S/4HANA and their experiences of doing so.
Here are some facts: SAP S/4HANA has been available since 2015 and over 2900 customers have already chosen this new platform. Over 1100 of these customers have already gone live.
In the Utilities sector, we have around 70 utilities customers in over 20 countries implementing SAP S/4HANA and over 20 have already gone live. We currently have over 20 utilities companies who are implementing our industry solution (IS-U) on SAP S/4HANA.
I collected some stories from SAP customers using SAP S/4HANA.
The Italian-headquartered utilities company Enel produces, distributes and sells energy in 30 countries on 5 continents. Enel selected the SAP S/4HANA solution for central finance foundation to update and streamline its finance department’s closing process and reporting model. The closing process now takes a mere of 5 working days compared to the 16 previously required and management receives reporting data quickly. Now Enel can continue to pursue its modernization journey while simultaneously enabling new services for its customers.

BKW asked a lot of its new IT environment: a reliable data source, consistent data, innovative applications, and cutting-edge design, which is exactly what it achieved with SAP S/4HANA. The project went smoothly.
