Last week the SAP for Utilities was held as a hybrid event with many attendees going to lovely San Diego. I was a virtual attendee.
Below are my rough notes from this session with Miguel Gaspar Silva and Stefan Wolf, SAP.

SAP for Utilities – Where We Are and Where We’re Going
With the pandemic still going on in many parts of the world—increasing the already high demand for transformational changes in utilities of all markets and roles—it becomes even more relevant to know what you can expect from SAP today and tomorrow. By staying up to date in the industry, you can secure your unique position in the market, address these changes, and ride the wave.
In this session, you will learn about the current product portfolio from SAP, including programs like RISE with SAP, Industry Cloud, Cloud for Utilities, and the Intelligent Enterprise. The presenters will provide an overview of how SAP is addressing challenges in the industry now and in the future, and how these innovations from SAP and our partners can help you. You will also hear about business benefits your utility peers are realizing.

How to move to cloud
RISE helps "de risk move to cloud" for agile, composable architecture
S/4HANA cannot deliver everything, which is why have industry cloud
S/4HANA is the center of RISE solution

On the right, industry cloud - a possibility to use cloud solutions that work with the intelligent suite
SAP Cloud for Utilities - focus on retail aspect - utilities foundation
Invest in asset manager, predictive asset insights, e-mobility

Highlight solutions just released this year
Utilities foundation: microservices; data management between components
Predictive asset insights - insight into equipment details to understand health of assets to optimize maintenance schedules, extend the lifetime of equipment; avoid unplanned maintenance jobs, avoid outages
E-mobility - vehicle charging
