With SAP for Utilities, Presented by ASUG a few short weeks away after months of planning and preparation, the ASUG team is thrilled about all that’s ahead in Miami for our utilities community.

We’re particularly excited about this year’s lineup of success stories, workshops, learning labs, and roadmap sessions, created in collaboration with an advisory committee of your fellow SAP customers.

In last month’s edition, Marc Rosson, Enterprise Architect at Snohomish PUD and one of the members of that committee, told you what he’s looking forward to at the conference. In that spirit, let’s highlight what I find most exciting about this year’s SAP for Utilities, Presented by ASUG.

Through Community Power Up sessions, attendees will have the opportunity to connect with peers from specific utility areas; there will be sessions for energy and water utilities, for enterprise architects, and for Canadian utilities. Fostering industry connections starts with these sessions, which will also dive deep into attendees’ specific business challenges and opportunities.

Another can’t-miss session, “The Future is Now: Utility Energy Transformation and SAP’s Asset & Work Management Platform,” will explore the future of energy transformation for utilities, offering insights into how enterprises can leverage cutting-edge technologies to gain a competitive advantage. Expect in-depth discussion of data analytics, the industrial internet of things (IIoT), mobile solutions, and—of course—artificial intelligence.

The conference will also feature a slate of Learning Lab sessions focused on how utilities can use SAP solutions to implement organizational change. One session will focus on how attendees can use SAP Signavio and SAP LeanIX to create a strong foundation for wider enterprise process transformation. Another will show attendees the wide variety of SAP support options available to all customers within their existing SAP investments.

Additionally, a utility-specific roadmap session will give attendees a sneak peek at the future of SAP solution development and equip customers with the knowledge they need to harness SAP tools and meet the most critical challenges that face this evolving industry, from evolving regulatory compliance standards to electrification and the clean-energy revolution.

ASUG is also excited to be bringing expert 1:1 meetings exclusively to ASUG Members at this year’s conference. Schedule 30-minute meetings with SAP experts to ask your most urgent, business-specific questions, and receive personalized insights based on your needs. Sign-ups open in a few weeks and space is limited; look out for an announcement!

At this year’s SAP for Utilities, Presented by ASUG conference, attendees will unleash the true power of their SAP solutions to get ahead of the competition, overcome today’s most pressing challenges, and power their businesses into the future of utilities. We can’t wait to see you there.
