SAP will this week unveil a new suite of products for
utility companies.
SAP for Utilities - built on its existing Enterprise Services
Architecture and powered by integration tool SAP NetWeaver - is
designed to make it easier for utilities to cope with customer
switching between providers and meet regulator demands.
SAP said impending European Union rules for more open market
competition in the utility market are another driving force for the
strategy among utilities.
The software will be unveiled tomorrow at SAP’s conference for
the utilities industry in Vienna. The conference will be attended
by more than 1,000 utility company representatives.
