At Essent, you really will find yourself in a sweet spot. On the one hand we successfully migrated on-premise SAP IS-U of Essent to the brand new SAP S/4HANA Utilties. On the other hand, we believe that the energy transition can only take place by changing people’s behavior. It is therefore to our advantage that we are the biggest energy company in the Netherlands with a customer base of 2.5 million households. Sweet spot! With smart products, we are helping the Netherlands to make the energy transition one step at a time.
