Customer Experience - C/4 HANA : Name change for Hybris Billing (back) to BRIM
The C/4 HANA team has made a name change for what was Hybris Billing back to the original BRIM - Billing & Revenue Innovation Management. Take a look at BRIM if you need to consolidate the many different utility billing use cases you have for something other than consumptive billing. Other utilities are live using BRIM to create billing documents which are then interfaced to their existing Consumptive Billing ISU solutions. BRIM is an on premise solution that interfaces to ISU.
