Guest lecture at SFSU - "ERP's Changing Role in the Age of Connected Everything"

On Wednesday, November 19 from 6:30-8:00pm, HPC CEO Jerry Cavalieri will speak to San Francisco State University MBA program's BPM class about "ERP's Changing Role in the Age of Connected Everything."

Cavalieri will discuss how ERP has become foundational to the enterprise, and how businesses will adopt new BPM strategies that re-define and modernize their ERP to adapt in the social, mobile, and cloud IT architectures of today and the future. ERP is here to stay, but must adapt in ways that require more agility and flexibility than ever before. The way corporations deploy and evolve their ERP systems will determine their level of competitive advantage and profitability. The key to success is a long-range IT roadmap and careful execution to thrive and stay ahead of the competition.

The presentation will also include a demonstration of SAP ECC Financials, and time for Q&A.

Case Study: SAP ECC 6.0 and Smaller Utilities

Trans Bay Cable (TBC) is a $500 million energy transmission infrastructure project chosen by the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) to provide reliable energy to the City of San Francisco. Selected over a number of alternate solutions, and running a lean operation with a very small staff, TBC LLC required an ERP system that would meet the same FERC reporting standards of traditional utilities.

The outcome? HPC America architected an SAP ECC 6.0 solution that delivered best-in-class functionality with the highest cost efficiency—illustrating a replicable model for other growing utilities that cannot rationalize conventional, big company SAP installations. Read the complete case study.
