Case Study

Enabling Sustainable Digital Transformation with Oracle ERP Cloud

Gruppo CAP partners with Business Reply to modernize its ERP system, driving agility, scalability and sustainability across operations.

Laying the Digital Foundations for a Green Utility

Gruppo CAP, one of Italy’s leading public utility companies, has managed integrated water services for the Metropolitan City of Milan since 1928. As a green utility, CAP has broadened its focus beyond water management to include waste treatment, green energy, and circular economy initiatives.

In a context where public service providers must combine operational excellence with environmental responsibility, Gruppo CAP sought to modernize its legacy IT infrastructure to support a more flexible and sustainable growth path. This strategic shift aligned with its commitment to innovation and digital transformation — key enablers of efficiency and competitiveness in an evolving market.
