FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
W.E.B. Aruba N.V. Chooses
Harris to Implement NorthStar CIS
ARUBA and OTTAWA CANADA, May 9, 2007 – The
NorthStar division of Harris Computer Systems (Harris), is pleased
to announce that W.E.B. Aruba N.V. (W.E.B. N.V.) has chosen NorthStar
CIS to replace its legacy customer billing system.
W.E.B. N.V. supplies Aruba with fresh water through a sophisticated
desalination process and generates the electrical power for the
island. The current billing system used at W.E.B. N.V. was programmed
in-house many years ago and lacks needed flexibility. According
to Jennai Chin, the W.E.B. N.V. project manager, the current system
requires employees to “work around many of the procedures
and is time consuming.”
NorthStar CIS will provide W.E.B. N.V. a multi-lingual, multi-currency
system, capable of printing letters and bills in the customers'
language of choice. NorthStar CIS will provide internet capability
allowing customers to view bills online, make payments, and report
utility issues.
Jossy Lacle’, Managing Director of W.E.B. N.V., stated that
after long negotiations and exploring various options he “was
very pleased” to signing the agreement to initiate the project.
He continued by stating that updating the CIS system further exemplifies
the philosophy at W.E.B. N.V. of “Exceeding the expectations
of our clients”.
Jeff Bender, CEO of Harris Computer, at the signing ceremony said
“We at Harris are excited about the opportunity to work with
W.E.B. N.V. to implement our industry leading NorthStar customer
information solution and product extensions. We look forward to
sharing our experiences with W.E.B. N.V. but just as importantly
learning from W.E.B. N.V. W.E.B. N. V. is a proven leader in their
industry and continues to demonstrate its leadership by moving forward
with this project.”
