SAP solution for Utilities

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a very basic level query and I appreciate your response.

Does SAP provides the solution only for Utility retail section or does it have a solution for Generation,Distribution aswell ?

Thanks in advance.

I know, that SAP UCES offers a functionality for energy retailers. They can logon and bill & maintain their customers. SAP UCES is however just a front-end, so the actual service is provided be the energy provider.

From my experience with IS-U backend itself, the contracts are normally separated into supply and distribution contracts. So you could simply do the distribution part and there should be no reason, why you won't be able to use it for retail only.

Ravi,

I am not sure if your question is specific to UCES or not.

If not, SAP for Utilities covers the whole value chain (Generation, transmission, distribution, retail), with a combination of ECC , CRM, BI core and utilities specific content.

Most processes are covered, are you interested in anyone in particular?

I know, but I address two different usage scenarios

1) Using UCES to enable services for retailers

2) Using SAP IS-U to enable retail process in a own environment as SAP provides full support for the whole chain.
