MxEnergy Selects Gentrack CIS
MxEnergy awards contract
on merits of overall completeness, flexibility, scalability and rapid
delivery
DAYTON, OH., March 21, 2002 - Gentrack International, a
global provider of billing and customer information software for
energy utilities and retailers has today announced that MxEnergy,
one of the US fastest growing energy retailers, has selected GentrackTM
as its Customer Information System (CIS). MxEnergy, headquartered
in Stamford CT, is a provider of gas to the mass market in Illinois,
Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Maryland and Michigan and
plans to roll out competitive energy offerings in other states as
they open up to competition.
Essential to the success of MxEnergy's growth was the purchase
of a scalable CIS system from a vendor who was able to rapidly tune
the software to their needs but flexible enough to adapt as the
market situation changed.
“Gentrack is the most complete and flexible approach of any system
we analyzed. This system is backed by a team with knowledge of the
competitive retail market, here and overseas. That was the key factor
in the selection of Gentrack,” commented Greg Taffet, Chief Information
Officer, MxEnergy. “The deployment of Gentrack will put us in an
excellent position to continue to acquire new customers while enabling
us to build stronger relationships with those we serve now.”
As a proven solution in regulated and deregulated markets, Gentrack
has been successful with implementations across Australia, United
Kingdom and Asia. “ With the experience gained from its competitive
home market in New Zealand, where Gentrack commands 85% market share
in billing gas and electricity, we believe can add significant value
to US utilities,” said Andrew Wereszczynski, Managing Director of
Gentrack International. “We are delighted to have secured our first
US contract with MxEnergy, a retailer at the cutting edge of the
energy sector reform.”
MxEnergy is currently deploying the Gentrack billing engine followed
by a complete roll out over the next few months of the Gentrack
CIS suite.
