SAP for Utilities: Best practices, real-world results, and industry insights

On any given day in the office, we're talking with customers, business partners, and our internal team about how to best address the SAP-related issues that utilities face — from accounting and billing complexities, to the challenges of reporting to external auditors and government regulators. As you can imagine, after more than 15 years of developing and managing SAP solutions for utility companies across the country, including the original IS-U/FERC module in 1994, we've got a lot of substantive stuff to discuss.

Unfortunately, many of these great ideas aren't as well documented as they could be; once the conference call or hallway conversation is over, they're gone, back in our collective heads.

No more. We're going to blog about our work, experience, and insights. We'll strive to make this space on the Web informative and useful for specific individuals at utilities running (or considering) SAP: executive management, plus accounting, finance, and IT professionals. Most posts will be written by HPC America's CEO, Jerry Cavalieri, with periodic contributions from our team of SAP senior solutions architects. And maybe even a guest or two from one of our utility customers.

So, thank you for reading and checking back every week or so. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any suggestions or questions.
