Moving from SAP IS U to S/4HANA Utilities is a reimplementation in all but name, and the migration is where the risk sits. We give utilities independent, client side help to plan, run, assure or recover an S/4HANA Utilities programme, from a team that has delivered SAP S/4HANA at national scale.
Talk to usWe plan, run, assure and recover migrations onto the major utility platforms, working for you alone. No licence to sell and no vendor commission, so our only interest is the right platform and a clean migration. Compare the options on our platform selection hub.
Choosing the right platform on the evidence, then planning and running the migration, the data and a rehearsed cutover.
Coming into a migration that is late or in trouble, reasserting client side control and getting customers moving safely.
An unconflicted view for your board on whether the programme is ready, and that bills and cash are right from day one.
SAP S/4HANA Utilities is the successor to IS U and the default path for the many utilities on SAP facing the 2027 maintenance deadline. It is deep, heavily featured and proven at scale, but it largely preserves how you operate today, at SAP cost, through a programme that is a reimplementation in all but name. See how it stacks up against Kraken and Oracle in our independent platform comparison. Extended maintenance ends in 2030, the real end date for IS U, and in Ireland that also touches the market's central system; we explain what suppliers must change before 2030.
We do more than migrations. On S/4HANA Utilities we work in two parts, and you can take either or both.
Independent assurance alongside S/4HANA Utilities and your systems integrator: readiness before you commit, the plan and contract tested, stage gates and go live assured, and data and billing reconciled, with an honest view for your board at every step.
We take on the full integration: programme leadership, integrating S/4HANA Utilities with your surrounding systems and industry processes, data migration, testing, cutover and hypercare, delivered by our own practitioners alongside your team.
Many clients start with assurance and ask us to take on the integration once they have seen how we work. The same people carry the knowledge from one part to the next.
We have delivered SAP S/4HANA at national scale, including the Oracle to SAP S/4HANA migration on the National Grid separation across more than 22 million assets. We are independent of SAP, with no licence to sell and no vendor commission, so we will tell you honestly whether S/4HANA Utilities is the right destination and then hold the plan, the data and the cutover to a standard. Start with a free readiness check or compare the options on our selection hub.
That is exactly what we help you decide, independently. S/4HANA Utilities suits utilities that want continuity and already run SAP; Kraken suits those chasing a lower cost to serve and ready to change how they work. See our platform comparison.
Yes. We help you decide and plan in good time, whether that is S/4HANA Utilities, a move to another platform or a staged path, so the deadline does not force a rushed decision.
No. We are completely independent, with no reseller agreements and no commissions. Our only interest is the platform that fits you and a migration that lands cleanly.
Yes. We come in to assure, stabilise or recover a programme already under way, reasserting client side control and a safe path to go live.
