MODERN UTILITIES : LEVERAGING NEXT LEVEL APPLICATIONS ON SAP ® CLOUD PLATFORM
It does not take a crystal ball to predict that the days of traditional utility companies are numbered . Both in terms of changing customer behavior and in terms of social trends such as digitalization : the industry is facing huge dynamics while being under fire from new technologies , complex IT systems and inconsistent processes . However , automation will continue to significantly change people ’ s lives in the years to come . Robots and artificial intelligence are already part of our everyday lives : our goods are sent by drones , chatbots support our customer service and soon our cars will drive autonomously . Ideas about what the utility company of the future can look like are already becoming outdated because the future of this industry has long since begun . More importantly , utility companies should ask themselves – do we want to play an active part in shaping these changes ?
Digital transformation with intelligent solutions : SAP ® Cloud Applications
Is there a way for utilities to be both reliable and disruptive at the same time ? Part of the answer might be software solutions such as SAP ® Cloud for Utilities , the nextgeneration industry business solution that supports end-to-end industry processes across all business functions , at scale , in the cloud , and in real-time . But even a solution as comprehensive as SAP ® Cloud for Utilities cannot cover all the detailed areas and requirements of a modern utility company . These gaps are closed by industry-specific solution extensions , such as those offered by PROLOGA . Automated planning , execution and confirmation of services , the reading of consumptions and on-site billing are only some examples . Another one is the highly sophisticated Capacity and Nomination Management solution that provides efficient means for gas transport management companies to monitor the execution of capacity contract bookings and validating received nominations . And last but not least , PROLOGA also provides enhancements on SAP ® Cloud Platform that complement the solution portfolio .
