Utility companies of all sizes face a number of challenges, whether they are a small municipal utility or a multinational energy group. Our specialised Utilities team helps you to master the change and remain profitable. We build on years of experience gained through the initial consultancy, the implementation, the further development and the support phases of SAP IS-U and SAP S/4HANA Utilities solutions.
Based on the modular SAP Utilities Core product bundle, we design system landscapes flexibly and efficiently, according to your individual needs and requirements.
SAP Market Communication for Utilities (MaCo Cloud) reduces the effort involved in market communication processes. We can help you use the SaaS solution correctly.
We help you to develop customer-centric solutions so that you can deliver a first-class customer experience, for example in the form of SAP UI5 apps for desktop and mobile.
Modern user interfaces can be created on the basis of the SAP Fiori design system. We advise you on all aspects of use in the utilities industry and help with development.
The SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) is indispensable when it comes to the efficient use of SAP Utilities Core. We help you to integrate your system landscape with it, end-to-end.
The energy industry is a highly regulated sector that places a number of special requirements on software solutions. With the industry-specific solution IS-U (Industry Solution Utilities), SAP created a widely used standard, which however, will soon be reaching the end of its life cycle. SAP’s maintenance and support will expire at the end of 2027.
The successor product, SAP S/4HANA Utilities, retains the familiar functionalities but goes much further. As a modular system, it covers all the requirements of the digital energy market.
S/4 Utilities combines several cloud and on-premise solutions for the utilities industry. In addition to the SAP Utilities Core, these include the MaCo Cloud, the Cloud for Energy, metering concept management and SAP Subscription Billing. Overall, the software offers the necessary flexibility to address all the key challenges facing electricity, gas and water supply companies, from regulatory requirements and high cost-pressure to changing customer expectations and the new realities of a decentralised energy supply.
From project management to the provision of the right SAP experts, we bring fresh impetus to your SAP Utilities project and help you achieve your goals.

How ready is your organisation for S4/HANA Utilities? Which approach is the most promising for the introduction? We lay the foundation for a successful introduction with a strategic preliminary analysis phase and detailed planning of the S/4 HANA transformation. This includes analysing whether a greenfield implementation, a brownfield approach or a migration approach is the best way forward. In just a few steps, we create an SAP S/4 HANA roadmap together.
The introduction of S/4 HANA Utilities needs to be well planned. In preparatory workshops, we discuss what to look out for when switching to SAP S/4 HANA Utilities. We take an individual approach to the company’s initial situation and identify the optimisation potential for existing processes.
We adapt your forms and processes to the new SAP S/4 HANA Utilities and convert the systems and data for this purpose. We are also your go-to for S/4 performance optimisation.
The full potential of S/4 HANA Utilities only unfolds through the adaptation of business processes to the new possibilities, such as the availability of real-time data. We support you in process design, redesign and optimisation of processes with S/4 HANA Utilities. In addition, we adapt all common SAP modules in SAP S/4 HANA Utilities to your individual processes if required. We are skilled in module consultancy and project management and can deliver both on-site and from our nearshore centre.
SAP IDEX (Intercompany Data Exchange) components such as IDEX-GE and IDEX-GG have to be migrated when switching from IS-U to S/4HANA Utilities, regardless of the specific transformation scenario. We advise you on all aspects of this critical migration and ensure a smooth implementation.
Data archiving is an important task prior to the introduction of SAP S/4 HANA Utilities. Targeted archiving can reduce storage requirements and therefore also costs.As part of this phase, we also pay particular attention to any regulatory requirements that need to be considered in the context of archiving.
We provide support for development tasks relating to SAP S/4 HANA Utilities both onsite and from our nearshore centre. We also help with the configuration and commissioning of SAP Fiori® S/4 apps.
Based on SAP templates, we help you to plan SAP rollouts holistically and to implement them successfully, both nationally and internationally. We ensure that your SAP solutions are rolled out correctly in all your branches and subsidiaries.

With more than 20 years of experience as an IT service provider in the energy and utilities industry, we know what is important. As a long-standing SAP partner, SAP IS-U consultancy is one of our specialties. We help you to implement individual module requirements, ensure secure operation and further develop your SAP systems in a future-proof manner. One of our current consultancy focuses is the switch to the new S/4HANA Utilities product generation.
Do you want to get more out of IS-U? Or are you already planning to switch to S/4 Utilities? We will be happy to advise you and work with you to find the optimum solution.
As one of the leading nearshoring providers, we also offer utilities companies the opportunity to handle projects within the framework of SAP for Utilities using this model.
The specific elements and schedule of an SAP S/4 HANA Utilities roadmap vary from company to company, depending on the particular business requirements and objectives. As part of the roadmap planning for example, it is necessary to determine what needs to be standardised, how the future target system landscape should be designed and which procedure is the best for the migration. We will be happy to help you draw up an individual roadmap as part of a workshop.
An SAP S/4HANA Utilities Roadmap is usually required when a company plans to implement or upgrade SAP S/4HANA Utilities. In the case of an initial implementation, a roadmap helps to plan and organise the necessary steps. If a company is already using an older version of SAP and wants to migrate to SAP S/4HANA Utilities, a roadmap can help to plan and manage the migration process. Basically, a roadmap is essential for strategic planning. It helps to understand how future updates or changes to SAP S/4HANA Utilities could affect the company.
SAP Utilities Core is a holistic solution that maps all energy management processes on one platform. This leads to more efficient, user-friendly and standardised processes. The product bundle is designed as a cloud solution and covers the entire meter-to-cash process, from consumption determination and billing to customer payment.
Yes, in addition to the implementation of the new SAP S/4HANA Utilities, we are also happy to help you with all challenges relating to SAP IS-U, from consultancy and development to support and operation.
