FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
InSITE SERVICES Taps Peace Software
as Preferred Provider
NEW YORK, N.Y., April 18, 2000 -(BUSINESS WIRE) - InSITE
SERVICES LLC, the pioneering application service provider that fosters
next-generation utilities through strategic, customer-focused and
Web-enabled billing solutions, announced today establishment of
a preferred provider relationship with Peace Software, developer
of Energy™, a premier CIS and billing software solution for utilities
in deregulated environments. Peace's Energy software platform serves
as the foundation for EnerBill™, InSITE's robust billing application
service hosted in InSITE's highly scalable and secure data centers.
Entirely Internet-based, EnerBill offers low cost, comprehensive
support for all billing processes from enrollment to Bill presentment
tosettlements.
Peace Software has extensive experience in deregulated markets
worldwide. With full appreciation for the Internet and differences
between billing system functionality and requirements in regulated
and deregulated environments, Peace developed its Energy software
solution specifically for utility companies operating in open access
markets.
Brian Peace, Chief Executive and founder of Peace Software says,
"With utility deregulation becoming a reality in more areas
around the world, interaction with customers is imperative for survival.
Like InSITE, we believe that the web-based billing system will serve
as the core platform through which communications with customers
will occur and that, going forward, utility companies will compete
and differentiate themselves primarily through superior customer
service. We're pleased to be working with InSITE."
Bob Obeiter, InSITE's executive vice president, adds, "Determining
which software solution to use as the basis for EnerBill involved
an extensive search of many solutions over a period of many months.
Designed entirely for deregulated markets, Peace's Energy software
solution was simply the most powerful and feature-rich solution
on the market. Based on the successful relationship we've developed
in recent months working for an ESP in Pennsylvania, I am confident
that the formalization of a preferred provider relationship will
enhance our market position, quality of services, and prospects
for explosive growth."
