Utilities and Energy
Utility and energy software has expanded from more traditional utility management systems into full ERP software solutions designed for the utilities industry. A standard utility management system with feature integrated line and meter information with an associated billing record and payment history. More robust ERP software solutions will offer additional enterprise level functionality such as customer relationship management, service management, warranty and repair, and complete business intelligence and reporting.
While both utility ERP software and the more traditional utility management systems offer industry specific solutions, an industry targeted ERP system will offer a wider range of functionality that is geared towards optimization of all business operations.
