Story
Inside FirstEnergy, order to cash used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in utilities groups working out of the United States. Order desk and finance needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
FirstEnergy uses Sage HR from Sage as the working layer for order management. Sage provides accounting, ERP, and HR software used by small and midsize businesses to run finance and operations. The practical change is simple: order to cash has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What FirstEnergy gets from Sage is a durable place to run order to cash and a way for order desk and finance to see the same order management at the same time.
