Eneco is a leading network operator in the Netherlands, providing a secure energy
supply to millions of customers. Within a rapidly changing business environment,
Eneco identified the need to transform its IT environment in order to provide more
agility to address business needs. Applying the right integration platform can facilitate
this rapid change and make a genuine step toward a cloud-first strategy.
Working with Proxcellence and using the SAP HANA Cloud Platform, integration®

platform. Automated monthly upgrades to the cloud working in tandem with the
flexibility to integrate between SAP and non-SAP applications helps ensure Eneco
moves to a cloud-first strategy with strength and conviction. Plus, the user-friendly
platform and minimal up-front costs deliver increased efficiencies, which is great
news for Eneco and its customers.
