FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Saint Paul Regional Water
Services (“SPRWS”) Selects Advanced and CIS Infinity
TORONTO, CONTARIO. July 3, 2008 - Harris Computer
Systems ("Harris”) is proud to announce that Saint Paul
Regional Water Services (SPRWS) has selected Advanced Utility Systems’
CIS Infinity to replace its legacy customer information and billing
(CIS) solution.
Headquartered in Saint Paul, the State Capital of Minnesota, SPRWS
provides retail water services to approximately 96,000 commercial
and residential accounts in the City of Saint Paul and the surrounding
suburbs of Falcon Heights, Lauderdale, Maplewood, Mendota Heights,
Mendota, Lilydale, Sunfish Lake, and West Saint Paul.
CIS Infinity was selected to provide SPRWS with a CIS solution
that could easily integrate with existing IT systems and provide
value added customer service features to SPRWS end users. Steve
Gleason, SPRWS Business Division Manager commented: “SPRWS
selection team pared down proposals it received to 3 finalists.
The selection team expressed confidence that any of the finalist
software solutions could meet SPRWS business needs. The software
solution of Advanced Utility Systems (”Advanced”) was
the recommended choice of the SPRWS Selection Team. User buy-in
and ease of use for those who are anticipated to deal most frequently
with the system and use by other local communities were key factors
in the choice of Advanced.”
Upon completion of the SPRWS CIS Infinity implementation, Advanced
Utility Systems will have CIS Infinity deployed at three state capital
cities across the United States. As Harris Executive Vice-President,
Advanced Business Unit, Steve Hammond commented: “Having SPRWS
as a valued client adds the anchor to our already well established
presence by joining 19 Minnesota cities enjoying the efficiencies
and benefits of CIS Infinity. Working together with the team at
SPRWS we look forward to a long and successful partnership.”
Implementation of CIS Infinity is scheduled to begin in August
2008.
