Industry & Asset Solutions
SAP IS-U Consultant, Utilities Billing Specialist, Device Management Consultant
SAP for Utilities (IS-U) supports utility-specific processes such as device management, meter reading, billing and customer account management. Transformation needs careful attention to regulated tariffs and large transaction volumes.
