The Challenge
A leading electricity utility provider in the West Indies was relying on an outdated self-service portal that lacked modern functionality, resulting in low customer engagement, while managing over 2 million records made reporting highly time-consuming and error-prone.
Compounding these issues, the absence of automation in refund workflows caused delays and rising customer complaints, and the existing system’s inflexible architecture limited the organization’s ability to adapt to its unique operational requirements.
Utility providers across the region face the same pressure: legacy self-service
and billing systems can no longer keep pace with rising customer
expectations and data volumes.
The Solution
4i implemented a suite of targeted enhancements to modernize operations and improve customer engagement, beginning with a modernized, migrated self-service portal built on a modern, user-friendly interface.
This was paired with tailored Business Objects (BO) and Maintenance Objects (MO) to support complex workflows aligned with the client’s unique data models, along with enhanced BI and analytics capabilities to handle large data volumes efficiently.
