They have to go beyond the traditional energy business in order to offer value added or even completely independent service offerings .” SAP C4U is uniquely equipped to enable those in the industry to compete in this brave new world . “ For growth , they will have to look to new business dimensions , which is why the platform supports non-commodity and multi-service capabilities ,” Engelhardt adds . “ We leverage elements and know-how from the 26 industry solutions we have at SAP such as telco , automotive and so on , bringing them together in order to allow utilities to offer new bundled business services . Of course we also automate the traditional processes of the commodity business . That is the way towards what Klaus calls the ‘ self-running enterprise ’.” 121
