The energy and utility industries have deregulated very quickly over the past years. Liberalisation has completely shifted utility companies’ business models: in an open market, electricity, gas, oil and water companies need to manage thousands of connections with a more customer-oriented approach, differentiated products and new services. The company specific IT systems that were used in monopolistic times are no longer useful.
With international experience in the energy sector and a strong market position, Ferranti is uniquely positioned to help utility companies successfully deploy innovative management solutions and technologies.
With MECOMS™, Ferranti’s ‘meter to cash’ management system, utility companies have full control of the new business processes for energy customer management. It allows companies to streamline and manage finance, metering, contracts, customer relations, billing and cash collection, assets, field services and portfolios. MECOMS™ empowers utility companies to optimize their business in both regulated and de-regulated market environments.
It is scalable and modular, providing the flexibility to quickly adapt to changing market conditions. Ferranti provides utility companies with the assets needed to face the challenges of the new digital economy, such as computing systems for smart meters and smart grids. Our intelligent technologies therefore contribute to a smarter use of energy and water.
