Utilities

Utility organizations are now realizing that in addition to improved customer service and customer care, outbound customer communications can dramatically help to avoid the future high cost of customer contact and customer service. Traditionally, utilities have associated customer communication with immediate revenue generation (i.e. collection, dispute resolution), and with being event-specific or demand-driven. Now, there is a shift to recognizing communications as a resource to manage the customer relationship throughout the entire customer lifecycle.
