Case Study: COPEL reduces database size and accelerates reporting with SAP Enterprise Support

COPEL: Getting Ready for the Digital Age with SAP Enterprise Support

COPEL (Companhia Paranaense de Energia), a Brazilian electric utility, faced the challenge of managing an oversized database which slowed reporting and increased maintenance costs. To prepare for digital transformation, they needed to curb data growth, accelerate decision-making, and reduce their total cost of ownership while maintaining high security and performance. To address this, they turned to vendor SAP and its SAP Enterprise Support services for expertise and tools.

SAP provided COPEL with a data volume management strategy, leveraging value maps and expert guidance. The solution included creating an action plan to reduce the database, implementing monitoring via SAP Solution Manager, and accelerating reporting processes. This resulted in a 3 TB reduction in database size, an annual saving of 6,000 maintenance hours, and $332,000 in yearly cost savings, providing the efficiency and transparency needed for their future digital initiatives.
