How SCE is Using SAP to Align to Industry Changes
The Utility industry is facing change and affordability pressures and SCE is in
pursuit of operational excellence
There is significant cost pressure as distributed generation costs decrease
SCE is building system capabilities to meet changing regulations
SCE is leveraging SAP for integration with acquisitions of new entities
SCE will be leveraging SAP to electronically transmit inventory and demand forecast information to
vendors as part of an integrated Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) solution
We have embarked on a simplification and standardization effort leveraging
SAP out-of-the-box functionality
Standardizing resource and capacity planning
Re-evaluating asset visibility and accounting for Labor, Materials, Contract, & Other (LMCO)
Expanded use of our available SAP functionality
Standardizing integration with commercial off the shelf (COTS) tools & applications

11. Slide 12
SCE enabled sophisticated Procure to Pay (P2P) models using SAP
solutions
This created a level of maturity between SCE and its major vendors not just for sourcing,
purchasing (PO), invoicing and payment, but also pre-PO work accounting for 2.5 billion of
annual SCE spend resulting in significant savings annually
Now with Ariba on our road map we are targeting P2P maturity across the entire 4.5 billion
annual SCE spend.
With Ariba being a networked service across multiple industries, we are looking to co-innovate
with Ariba on some of the solutions we have in place for pre-Purchase Order work which would
provide benefits to SCE and other companies using Ariba, regardless of industry
Enhanced reporting capabilities improve business agility
SCE enabled SAP’s HANA in-memory technology to address requirements for large data
volume and faster performance for analytics and reporting
SCE is leveraging the suite of Business Objects tools to provide capabilities for data exploration,
analytics and visualization, enabling timely insights for business decision making

Charities:
The Energy Assistance Fund (EAF) is Southern California Edison's (SCE) only non-profit
organization and direct payment assistance program
No home should ever have to go without electricity
o Since 1982, more than 200,000 income-qualified customers have received utility bill
payment assistance through EAF
The Neighbor to Neighbor fund, San Diego Gas & Electric’s (SDG&E) charity
organization, helps those facing financial hardship like unexpected job loss or illness with
assistance in paying their utility bill
Since 1983, the program has given nearly $1 million to thousands of customers who
struggle to make ends meet
