Utilities, Inc. Launches New Customer Care and Billing System

NORTHBROOK, Ill. - June 9, 2008 -- Utilities, Inc. (UI), a national water and wastewater service corporation, announces the implementation of Oracle's Utilities Customer Care and Billing System. The new system which went on-line June 2, represents the culmination of a 2-year, multi-million dollar project that also included the implementation of Oracle's JD Edwards Enterprise One in December 2007. This new system will replace the current billing system by combining both the customer service and field operations systems with the billing system, thereby allowing Utilities Inc. to standardize rate schedules maintained across operations and augment its reporting capabilities. Larry Schumacher, President & C.E.O. said "that we are excited to have this long awaited new tool in service. This system will allow us improved access to information, further enhance UI¡¦s customer focus and improve the customer experience overall.¨
