Project: IS-U Implementation |
Our Role: |
The aim of this project is to change a part of the current IT landscape since the actual IT-systems were no more compatible with the new requirements of the Dutch energy market. RWE Energy Nederland also needs to improve process support for customer services and billing to achieve RWE's goals related to customer satisfaction.
Due to liberalized energy market in Netherlands since 1998, we find different market partners operating in the market. There was disjunction of Grid and Supplier companies. Additional market role of Meter Reading could also be found.
This project will help RWE NL with the implementation of a (partly) new system landscape (based on products from SAP) with respect to the new role as energy supplier. The other main objective of the project is to implement SAP IS-U and SAP-CRM as a replacement of the current systems EBIS and Amyyon.
Following are the advantages of this solution:
Possibility of uploading meter reading from three different channels i.e external meter reading agency, meter reading from the customer, automated meter reading exchange from the grid companies through IDE.
Possibility of executing validation checks depending on the source of the reading.
Possibility of providing different validation checks for B2C and SME's, with identical rate structures.
Possibility of maintaining only the device info record with the billing relevant installation required for the market role as a supplier.
Consistent way of maintaining and updating rates & tariffs and reduced complexity.
Improved data quality forced by the fact that one value (field) is only stored once in the system.
Less effort for necessary changes. Changes only have to be done on a minimum number of fields.
More flexibility; It is possible to create new tariffs and rates based easily for 'old' products. Easy maintenance of dual contract model i.e 'Suppliers model' and the 'Distributors model'.
The Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable component facilitates posting of large volume of documents as a sub-ledger.
Possibility of automatic account determination using the account assignments entered in the line item.
Possibility of periodic updation of the General Ledger with postings from Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable.
Provides web-access to customers for self service delivery and further development of the web as a sales channel.
