THE DIGITAL AGENDA
Accelerate platform migration—and optimize CX
Increasing competition, more digitally aware consumers and the rise in renewable energy are making the case for new utilities platforms.
Customer experience has emerged as one of the major factors for consumers in choosing service providers. Historically, utilities haven’t been on the forefront of customer service and support. But today, consumers want both lower prices and better, more customized services.
