The benefits of using a cloud-based billing solution are numerous. No longer do you need to schedule costly and inconvenient software upgrades, taking your billing solution offline for hours at a time. Your employees gain flexibility to do their work wherever they are, increasing their efficiency and job satisfaction. And security within the cloud is far more robust than most on-premise solutions that would require continual security patches to protect you from a hacker’s attack.

Recent research noted that it costs $8 to handle every call that comes into your utility. Giving your customers the ability to go online to perform many of the tasks that previously required a phone call or even in-person visit to your offices saves you money while saving your customers’ time and patience. Self-service puts the power into your customers’ hands to view statements, pay bills, raise a work order, and receive important notifications. Increased customer satisfaction and improving the efficiency of your staff will pay dividends for your back-office operations.
