Enterprise customer information system (CIS) and billing platform — Customer Care and Billing / Customer Cloud Service — used by large water and electric utilities.
Procurery Insight
Oracle Utilities' Customer Care and Billing (and its Customer Cloud Service) is an enterprise-grade CIS built for large, complex water and electric utilities with intricate rate structures, high meter volumes, and demanding integration requirements. Its depth in billing, rating, and meter-data management is a genuine strength at scale, backed by Oracle's platform and longevity. The flip side is heft: implementations are long and integrator-led, and it is generally more system than a small municipal utility needs versus lighter local-government billing suites.
