A secure future with hybrid SAP scenarios

IT managers at utilities walk a tightrope every day: Despite cost pressure, scarce resources and regulatory challenges, they have to safeguard existing business. At the same time, all eyes are on IT when it comes to the urgent development of new business areas or digital services. The expected end of support in 2027 for the ERP systems SAP R/3 and the industry solution IS-U further shakes this already delicate balance.

With the migration to S/4 HANA and HANA database technologies, utilities are relying on a platform that will secure their existing business in the long term. This also lays the foundations for future-oriented solutions such as intelligent charging station management, smart meters or load forecasts. Innovative services from the Microsoft Azure Cloud perfectly complement the usual on-premises stack.

Hybrid cloud approaches give utilities tangible strategic and operational advantages:

• SAP on Azure sandboxes and project systems for rapid piloting
• Scalability of systems for uncertain data growth on HANA
• Investment security and cost flexibility
• Mapping new digital services on scaling Azure infrastructure
• Modern business management through the use of AI in planning and forecasting
• Data localization also possible in Germany
• Customized hybrid and multicloud solutions for specific application scenarios
