Queensland's CS Energy gears up for SAP upgrade

The Queensland government-owned power utility is intending to start migrating from SAP ECC6.0, which will be unsupported from 2027, to S/4 HANA later this year.

Following a “readiness assessment” in August, the utility is now seeking a technology implementation partner to carry out the migration.

The “strictly technical” upgrade to S/4 HANA will then lay the foundation for CS Energy to “uplift [its] business capabilities”, according to documents published on QTenders.

Additionally, the initial upgrade will include the establishment of and migration to a cloud hosting platform, the migration from legacy database solution MaxDB to SAP HANA database and the "re-establishment of integrations between ERP satellite systems".

“CS Energy is in the planning and scoping phase for upgrading our legacy SAP system to the modern SAP S/4HANA platform,” a spokesperson told iTnews.

The utility declined to comment further, citing “confidentiality and probity guidelines".

CS Energy’s business functions, including finance and procurement, asset maintenance, projects, warehousing and payroll will then move to “adopting improved S/4 functions” following the tech migration.

According to the tender, CS Energy is currently weighing up whether to source on-premises perpetual S/4HANA licences from SAP or SAP’s RISE offering, an AI-powered cloud ERP that's managed and optimised by the vendor.
