FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
City of Danville Goes Live
with CIS Infinity Second Phase of ERP Project Completed
DANVILLE, VA and TORONTO, CANADA; April 11, 2008
- The City of Danville (the City) has completed the successful implementation
of its new customer information and billing system, CIS Infinity
by Advanced Utility Systems Corporation (Advanced), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Harris Computer Systems. In addition to installing
CIS Infinity, Advanced, acting as Prime Vendor coordinated the installation
of a new central cashiering application offered by Professional
Consultancy International, LLC (PCI).
With these two new systems in place, the second phase of the City’s
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software project is complete.
The City is now able to deliver customer information and billing
services to its 45,000 water, electric and gas customers.
To facilitate these services the City was able to take advantage
of the flexibility and interoperability that CIS Infinity provides.
As Atsushi Yasuda, Director of Operations at Advanced notes, “The
Advanced development strategy has always been directed towards integration
and flexibility. We are very pleased that the City of Danville is
able to realize the potential and benefits of this strategy.”
CIS Infinity includes a complex rate engine that uses extensive
normalization of the rate structure that will allow for virtually
unlimited rate configuration for each of the City’s services.
CIS Infinity also facilitates fast, inexpensive integration with
an extensive variety of applications including the City’s
financial information system Sun-Gard Bi-Tech IFAS and PCI’s
Revenue Collections / Cashiering Systems (RCS), Revenue Billing
System and Accounts Receivable suite of products. The high level
of integration between CIS Infinity and PCI’s application
will allow the City to automate several previously manual processes.
Another process that will be automated is the City’s Fuel
Assistance program. It is designed to aid households that meet a
certain income and resource criteria with their heating needs during
the winter months.
The City is the second client located in the state of Virginia
for Advanced.
