Innovation for Utilities on SAP Since 1994

Big news: 2019 marks HPC America’s 25th anniversary. We first got our start in the United States in 1994, after a decade of success in Germany, when SAP's Hasso Plattner asked HPC AG’s founder, Josef Heck, to assist with the SAP ERP implementation at Pacific Gas & Electric. HPC America’s primary contribution was the creation of the first regulatory accounting solution for utilities on SAP — the “FERC module” that is still delivered with SAP S/4HANA to this very day (not that we’d recommend you continue to use it alone - but more on that later).

Since that time, HPC has demonstrated an unmatched track record of pragmatic consulting services and innovative add-on software solutions for utility companies on SAP. For utilities large and small, public and investor-owned, we’ve optimized accounting processes, streamlined cost models, made functionalized financial data more meaningful, and, ultimately, helped our amazing customers get more out of their investments in SAP.

Most recently, we led the first-ever integration of SAP C/4HANA Cloud for Customer with on-prem IS-U billing, establishing a powerful, flexible CRM system for NTUA that leverages their existing SAP ECC without further taxing their lean IT department. And our latest add-on solution, HPC DECIPHER, is certified by SAP as integrated with SAP S/4HANA and enables utilities to replace old FERC batch processes with a modern, line item model that generates better data, much faster.

Credit for HPC’s endurance over the last 25 years must go to our incredible team of people. Their functional and technical SAP skills are strong, and they continue to learn more as the technology has evolved. They bring years of utility industry knowledge, many having been former utility company employees, and that first-hand understanding of the business of a utility resonates deeply with our customers. Guys, your competency is tremendous, and we wouldn’t be here without you.
