Utility Selects Cayenta Revenue Cycle Management Platform as eBusiness
Solution
SAN DIEGO, CA., November 6, 2000 /PRNewswire/ - Cayenta, a subsidiary
of the Titan Corporation (NYSE: TTN) and a Total Service Provider
of e-business infrastructure solutions, today announced that the
Brownsville Public Utility Board (BPUB) has selected Cayenta's revenue
cycle management solution, UtilityManager, to replace its legacy
customer information system (CIS). Cayenta was selected as the vendor
of choice over competition that included SCT and PeopleSoft. Cayenta
will provide BPUB with the latest in CIS features and functionality,
including the option of eCommerce solutions for its customers. Cayenta's
UtilityManager is a complete utility billing, customer information
and eCommerce solution for municipal and privately owned utilities.
Located along the northern bank of the Rio Grande on the United
States Mexican Border, Brownsville, Texas is a center for technology,
industry and distribution. The Brownsville Public Utilities Board,
(BPUB) was created by a referendum of city voters in 1960, and has
provided low-cost reliable, electric, water and sewer utility services
to Brownsville-area residents for over forty years.

we have in place for customer service and billing are not flexible
enough to Handle the needs of a deregulated environment. Cayenta's
UtilityManager solution not only provides us with the latest in
technologies for CIS and billing but was developed to Handle the
needs associated with a municipal utility. The system's emphasis
on rates, billing, collections and service orders, along with easy
to use inquiry screens, showed us that Cayenta has done their homework
in developing a solution for this industry. This is a system that
will not only meet our current needs for the existing business processes,
but provides us with the capabilities to expand into eCommerce to
Handle the types of business transactions our customers are coming
to expect," said Eddy Hernandez, Director of Customer Service
for the Brownsville Public Utility Board.

said Mike Gardner, Vice President of Development and General Manager,

Web with traditional billing, while maintaining the highest level
