While many utilities are trying to stay forward-thinking, they’re often limited by the capabilities of their tech infrastructure. They grapple with legacy systems that are disjointed, difficult to manage, and unable to scale along with the organization.

By integrating modern AIP solutions like Copperleaf, utilities can build this technology into the fabric of S/4HANA, avoiding costly rework later on.
