Inspire and shape a digital world that reinvents power generation, transmission, distribution, and retail

The utility industry is currently challenged with balancing the efficient operations of its existing infrastructure with the need to adapt to the volatile market environment.

Leading utilities are re-evaluating their physical assets and customer relationships to:

- Reimagine business models to find new revenue and profit sources by offering innovative supply, load balancing, and smart home/business energy services

- Reimagine business processes and use digital technology to optimize business outcomes by converging information and operational technologies

- Reimagine the role and structure of the workforce to support future business by incorporating wearable technology, 3D printers, and geospatial technologies

“Reimagining” the utilities business will shape the Digital Energy Network that overlays and complements the power supply system. All participants - utilities, consumers, and new non-utility players - will use digital innovation to anticipate real-time demand and supply, operate self-healing grids, and innovate the customer experience.

SAP’s vision is to help the world use energy and natural resources responsibly today and tomorrow while providing reliable, sustainable, and affordable energy for all people. This requires access to the Digital Energy Network for all participants. SAP will offer the digital foundation and the digital gateways that integrate the core solutions of each market participant to the Digital Energy Network.

This webcast offers SAP’s perspective on where the industry will go and how SAP contributes to the evolution of the Digital Energy Network.
