Wipro Limited, a leading AI-powered technology services and consulting company, has announced the early completion of a major cloud ERP transformation for AusNet, Victoria’s largest diversified energy network operator. Using RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, the programme replaced legacy systems with an integrated modern cloud platform, providing secure, scalable, and future-ready digital infrastructure.

Delivered ahead of schedule in just 18 months, the transformation marks a significant milestone for AusNet. Chris Galland, Chief Technology Officer at AusNet, said: “This was more than a technology upgrade – it was an opportunity for the entire company to come together. The result is a platform that is faster, smarter, and ready for the future, ensuring customers, field teams, and retailers experienced no disruption during cutover.”

Ketan Panchal, Managing Director and Country Head for Australia, Wipro Limited, said: “The collaboration between AusNet, SAP, and Wipro has delivered a transformative upgrade to AusNet’s digital infrastructure. This reflects Wipro’s expertise in guiding clients through digital transformation, integrating cutting-edge technologies, industry-focused solutions, and AI-powered services to achieve tangible business impact.”

The programme sets a new benchmark for ERP upgrades in the utilities sector, achieving breakthroughs in field operational efficiency through geospatial mapping tools and advanced asset management solutions deployed on handheld devices, improving productivity even in remote areas with limited connectivity.

Angela Colantuono, President and Managing Director of SAP Australia and New Zealand, noted that AusNet’s combination of a modern cloud ERP platform with SAP Business Technology Platform and industry-specific solutions creates a digital foundation for real-time insights and improved operational efficiency, supporting the transition to cleaner energy.

The complex cutover process involved over 1,600 internal and external users and more than 50 energy retailers. Wipro, SAP, and AusNet co-developed interim processes to ensure uninterrupted customer service during the transition.
