NEW SAP Utility North American Community Hub:
Join the SAP Utility North American Community Hub –It’s a new virtual environment designed to bring our utility community together. You will have access to SAP utility subject matter experts, to SAP partners with a specific focus and practice in utilities (coming soon), and most importantly your peers. Lots of great utility specific content out there, updates on coming events/programs, and more.
