Implementation of the applications of the commercial information system for a leader of the French Utility market

Objectives of the project

BearingPoint’s intervention consists of three major areas:

  • Customer process integration within the information system,
  • Process reporting and performance management,
  • Organisation revamping

Measurable & concrete results

Processes and tools that are revamped and operational

  • An industrialised information system making it possible to manage sales, commercial follow-up and billing for 270,000 customers and 3.5 million sites.
  • Two major versions of each application implemented each year.
  • A consolidated multi-channel client vision that is shared among all the actors of the Enterprise Division.
  • 90,000 new offers already sold.
  • 7 TWh of natural gas sold across 13,000 sites.

 

… and even more reactive and effective for a more and more competitive market

  • A reduced time-to-market for product and service deployment (from 6 months down to 1 month).
  • Flexible price tables and pricing functions that can be updated on a daily basis.
  • A range of products and services that fit new customer needs: multi-energy and multi-sites contract and billing management.
  • A flexible information system that is able to integrate the evolutions of the customer orientation policy. 

 

 with efficient collaborators.

  • A homogeneous deployment in all the units: 3,000 users trained to use the new applications
  • A network of local experts who relay information and news about applications, providing local support for users

 

Key success factors

  • Strong monitoring of the project by top management and the sponsor
