The Ultimate Customer Engagement Platform (CEP) in Energy and Utilities

The industry has been on a roller coaster ride for much of the past few years. Caught in the midst of fitfully starting and stopping deregulation, aging infrastructure, higher demand, and the need to cut costs, increase operational efficiency, and return value and dividends; the utility enterprise must continue to focus on delivering the highest quality of service and care to its customers.

The Industry challenges:

  • the need to upgrade transmission and distribution infrastructure and ensure higher service reliability,
  • understanding that customer service and customer care must be the top priority in the utility enterprise,
  • how to leverage CIS, CRM, and customer care systems and technologies to their full potential,
  • understanding how to best use customer information once it is captured - what information and when to communicate with customers,
  • new consumer opportunities are emerging with the increasing adoption of smart technology, mobile devices and the integration of Web-enabled platforms such as social media.

Facts

59 % consumers are satisfied with their electricity providers. But satisfaction rate decrease with length of time consumers interact with their providers.

Still, in deregulated markets 25 % would switch to another electricity provider.
(Accenture end-consumer observatory 2012 among 10,158 residential end consumers in 19 countries.)

Key advantage

Being able to provide reliable, affordable electric power, natural gas, and/or water to customers while also communicating, billing, and collecting payment from customers in a courteous, efficient, and proactive manner.

Success

The goal of the utility should be to manage customer expectations, provide customer services and communicate with each customer throughout the entire customer lifecycle. Having customer-care applications that integrate sales, service, billing and collections and provide customer service organizations with a single extensible view of customer data.
