In a recent interview with ASUG Talks, Travis Smith, Principal SAP Enterprise Architect at SA Power Networks, broke down how the Australian utility company approached its double RISE with SAP migration project. 

Throughout the wide-ranging conversation, he touched on critical topics for the utilities community. Not only did Smith articulate the need for two instances--one to house its Industry Solution for Utilities (ISU) and another for SAP S/4HANA. Additionally, he walked listeners through the importance of change management, identifying SAP Fiori champions, and spending the time (and budget) to ensure all stakeholders are looped into the coming changes from such a project.
