Gisa contributes to SAP Cloud for Utilities
The IT service provider for the energy industry Gisa is part of a global co-innovation to define and design an SAP platform for utilities (SAP Cloud for Utilities C4U).
Around 15 utility companies, which handle over 100 million customer contracts worldwide, have joined this co-innovation project so far, including Innogy and MVV.
According to SAP, SAP Cloud for Utilities is a fully integrated solution based on the lead-to-cash process (energy sales). This is to be provided as a cloud or hybrid version to support utility companies in the automation of sales processes. With SAP Cloud for Utilities, SAP offers an alternative that can intelligently supplement or completely replace the traditional SAP Utilities (IS-U).
According to SAP, Cloud for Utilities can integrate intelligent technologies and insights into business processes in real time and offers comprehensive functions for marketing, service, trading, product bundling, self-service, fulfillment of complex services and billing for commodity and non-commodity products.
In addition to companies from Germany, partners from Austria, Portugal, China and the USA are also represented in the cooperation. In terms of technology, SAP Cloud for Utilities is based on the C/4 Hana suite, S/4 Cloud and S/4 Hana.
