The challenge

IS-U, the customer information system, and metering platforms ran as disconnected systems, so meter, consumption, and billing data did not flow in real time across the meter-to-cash process. The agency needed AMI, billing, and bill print and delivery integrations that could support large-scale utility operations.

Questions

What did the water agency integrate with SAP IS-U?

The agency connected SAP IS-U with its customer information system, AMI meter data and consumption processing, billing, enterprise systems, and bill print and delivery platforms. Together these interfaces support the full install-to-pay cycle.

Which SAP technology carried the integrations?

The interfaces were built on SAP Process Orchestration (SAP PI/PO). It gave the utility a scalable, centrally designed integration layer between SAP IS-U and the surrounding CIS, metering, and bill delivery systems.

What results did the integration deliver?

The project delivered 30+ interfaces, 99% stable operations across the integration landscape, better billing and customer data accuracy, and fewer delays in bill generation and delivery for a service area of 1.4M+ residents.
