Business Wire
Following a competitive selection process, City of Kingsport has
embraced Hansen and its agile SaaS-based Customer Information
System (CIS) to enhance customer care, billing and self-service
experiences for its residents—advancing the city's smart city
initiatives aimed at leveraging technology to improve municipal
services and quality of life.
Hansen Technologies (ASX:HSN), a leading global provider of
software and services to the energy, utilities, communications, and
media industries, is pleased to announce that the City of
Kingsport, Tennessee, has selected Hansen to modernize their
water-billing and customer-engagement experience.
For the past 20 years, City of Kingsport had been using an
internally developed system. This system was unable to deliver the
flexibility and configurability of modern platforms.
Hansen CIS, the company’s core meter-to-cash offering designed
specifically to empower North American municipalities and utility
companies, was selected as the most comprehensive customer
information system that supports smart city initiatives by
streamlining operations and enhancing customer service.
The City of Kingsport has also opted to integrate Hansen Self
Service Portal and Hansen Business Intelligence. This comprehensive
modernization effort will significantly improve operational
efficiency and offer customers enhanced self-service
capabilities.
Floyd Bailey, Chief Information Officer at City of Kingsport,
commented: “We are delighted to have Hansen as our partner.
They stood out head and shoulders above others in the process, from
the speed of deployment and the way the team approaches our
organization to, most importantly, ensuring that we have a robust
platform. For us, as we seek to be able to handle any billing
scenario we might need in these ever-changing market conditions,
configurability and flexibility are paramount and Hansen CIS, with
its Self Service Portal and Business Intelligence, certainly
deliver this, and more.”
Bobby Slaton, Executive Vice President for Americas Energy
& Utilities at Hansen, commented: “At Hansen, we are proud
of how our products boost the customer experience for
municipalities and utility companies of all sizes. As people across
North America increasingly rely on seamless utility experiences to
free them up to focus on family, work and life, we are delighted to
be able to showcase to municipalities like City of Kingsport what
Hansen can do to support them in delivering a modern, agile and
efficient platform and citizen experience.”
Hansen CIS is part of the Hansen Suite for Energy &
Utilities.
