Customer Spotlight: Uniper Accelerates Energy Transformation with SAP BTP | SAP TechEd 2025

How Uniper accelerates energy transformation with SAP BTP – connecting data, AI, and processes to deliver safer, faster outcomes.

In this SAP TechEd customer spotlight, Uniper shares how it’s modernizing operations with SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) by linking core SAP systems with data, automation, and AI to drive reliable, low-friction processes. You’ll hear how the team connects SAP and non-SAP data, standardizes workflows across business units, and keeps the core clean with governed extensions.

The story walks through a real use case from challenge to outcome: integrating disparate data sources, modeling business-ready data products, and orchestrating approvals and notifications that write back to SAP. You’ll see how embedded AI speeds routine steps, how observability helps IT monitor performance and cost, and how role-based controls keep everything secure and compliant – at enterprise scale.

Whether you lead platform strategy, data & analytics, or operations, this session offers pragmatic lessons from Uniper on building a flexible foundation: start with trusted data, reuse governed services, and iterate quickly with clear guardrails on SAP BTP.
