Greenfield Power: EWEB’s Move to RISE After 30 years of navigating rigid legacy systems and spreadsheet silos, the Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) launched a Greenfield transformation to RISE with SAP S/4HANA. Facing an urgent need for climate resilience, Oregon’s largest customer-owned utility prioritized a Clean Core approach to unify its Finance and Customer Information Systems. By integrating SAP Service Cloud and SAP BTP, EWEB replaced manual guesswork with a resilient digital infrastructure that connects directly to the community’s needs. The results mark a new era for the utility: 99.5% of daily billing is now automated, while a centralized Customer 360 view enables agents to resolve issues with unprecedented speed and empathy. Beyond the back office, real-time insights from SAP Analytics Cloud empower EWEB to optimize critical infrastructure. This modernization ensures that even amidst supply volatility, the community’s water and energy security remains protected by a data-driven foundation. Nominated by: Eugene Water & Electric Board
Waymo’s New Monetization Engine To support the rapid expansion of its Waymo One autonomous ride-hailing service, Waymo partnered with PwC to deploy SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.

McKesson Migrates Massive SAP Footprint to Azure McKesson, a linchpin in the U.S. pharmaceutical supply chain, recently neutralized a critical operational risk by migrating one of the world’s largest SAP instances to Microsoft Azure. Facing aging hardware and the need for hyperscale agility, McKesson— partnered with Lemongrass— completed this massive transition in just four months without disrupting patient care or vaccine distribution. The shift to cloud-native infrastructure delivered immediate 30–40% performance gains across SAP workloads and integrated automated disaster recovery. By moving petabytes of data to Azure, McKesson escaped technical debt and built a platform capable of supporting real-time predictive insights and AI. This high-velocity migration ensures that as McKesson distributes one-third of the nation’s medicine, its digital backbone is as resilient as the supply chain it serves, turning a hardware liability into a strategic, future-proof asset.
