FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Orrville Utilities Chooses
Harris For Outsourced Bill Print Solution
OTTAWA, ONTARIO, CANADA, July 28, 2004 - Harris
Computer Systems ("Harris"), a leading provider of customer
information systems and financial management solutions, today announced
it has signed an agreement to provide the Orrville Department Of
Public Utilities ("Orrville Utilities") with financial
transaction outsourcing solutions. Orrville Utilities provides the
City of Orrville with electric, water, sewer and refuse services
to over seven thousand residents within the city and surrounding
areas. Under the agreement Harris will redesign the City's utility
bill, assume data processing, document composition, print, insertion
and mail finishing applications at a lower total cost than current
in house processes.
"Harris continues to broaden our solution offering to assist
our customers with achieving operational efficiency and improved
customer service" said Jeff Bender, President & CEO of
Harris. "Providing bill print and mail services to Orrville
Utilities is the latest example of delivering on our commitment
to provide our customers with cost effective business process outsourcing”.
"The ability to have our invoices printed and mailed on a
consistent basis regardless of the clerical schedule in our office
was the main reason we chose to use the service,” explains
Jim Leggett, Director of Finance for Orrville Utilities. "The
cost savings were a very nice benefit that helped us make our decision."
Harris has secured large volume discounting from the leading national
bill print and mail provider to utilities, KUBRA. The traditional
print and mail distribution of Orrville Utilities paper-based customer
bills is being handled through KUBRA’s state-of-the-art production
facilities. The capabilities include document composition (data,
exception and postal processing, composition and personalization)
printing (distributed high-volume laser printing and document preparation),
and insertion (folding and insertion, selective sourcing, and mail
finishing).
