For the third consecutive year, we are happy to announce a dedicated track for water and wastewater companies in the SAP for Energy and Utilities Conference agenda for this year.

It will take place on Wednesday afternoon April 9th with the aim to recognize the success of this section in previous conference editions and continue giving floor to a selection of exceptional professionals not only presenting, but building relationships and developing partnerships among this industry group.

Shifting from an agenda designed last year to show the concept architecture built by SAP to support water management processes to help organizations leveraging their software investments to tackle processes such as smart meter data management, named the “Smart Platform for Water”, current year be focused on cases where SAP portfolio of applications and technologies can help organizations confront their challenges and obtain operational benefits.

I am delighted to inform you about the presentions of the Water Track:

  • SAP for Water and Wastewater Services: Building the Resilient Water Company (SAP Keynote)
  • ESRI ArcGIS on HANA: Building Next Generation of Integrated Asset Management at FARYS
  • Streaming Service Operations: SAP Field Service Management (FSM) Integration at Vitens

But the agenda of water-specific items will not be restricted to this track but will be highly recommended water-specific or water-relevant conferences before and after the Water Track which will configure an entire agenda specifically for delegates of this industry:

Wednesday morning, April 9th (before the Water Track): suggested slots unveil the large ongoing updates in the portfolio of Asset Management, including an interesting use case of Asset Performance Management as well as an excellent presentation by SAP Product Development of the evolution of SAP analytical  portfolio, this is Business Data Cloud:

A very interesting use case of RISE conversion, from a perspective very close to the reality of many water companies'.

  • Unlocking the Potential of AI with SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) and Datasphere (SAP Microforum at 10:30AM 
  • A Day in a Life of a Water Drop: Deep Dive into the Benefits of Asset Management at the Lifecycle of a Waterdrop (session needs to be pre-booked via the app)
  • Transformation from OnPrem to SAP RISE: Lessons from Andel’s Journey (AI Track)

Overall, the complete conference is designed for an era based in networks, relationships and reputation, where collaboration and developing partnerships is the key of success. But it is known that such relationships cannot be automated and the soul of this track, and the overall water community formation, is the inheritance of the Executive Value Network for Water and Waste Water Companies workshops. This is a regular meeting of water companies taking place in Europe (already six editions), Latin America (three) and now Africa. Participants highlight common challenges and go along with case studies of how SAP customers are leveraging SAP solutions to address them. Take this unique opportunity to connect with your peers, gain insights into industry trends, and chart your development plan with the latest technologies of 2025!

 Looking forward to seeing you in Rotterdam!

Hello @MiquelCarbo 

is the presentation topic of "SAP Business Data Cloud" the same, we will be informed about at "SAP Business Unleashed" this Thursday evening (CET)?

It seems that everyone is making a huge secret of the topic, so could it be your blog is "whistleblowing"? 😅 ... in two days we'll know it.

BR, Martin
