In November 2013, SAP launched SAP Multichannel Foundation for Utilities (MCF, which extended is reach to the Public Sector industry last year), and its central entry page Key Topic: SAP Multichannel Foundation for Utilities and Public Sector rapidly became one of the most popular utilities-industry pages on SCN.
In parallel, the new product got widely adopted by customers around the world - just have a look at the map to see in which regions utility companies of different sizes have bought MCF:

We also observed a high customer adoption of MCF in North America: In this region, many utilities have been influencing SAP's product offering during the last years through ASUG and its dedicated influence councils. With interested utility companies, we have conducted interactive Design Thinking workshops and regular conference calls where they got direct exposure to the SAP development team.
