MORRISTOWN, N.J., Nov. 29, 2002 -- After a wide-ranging, 18-month evaluation, Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) has chosen a customer management system from SPL WorldGroup to replace its in-house utility billing system.
LVVWD will license PeopleSoft CIS-Utility Billing Software, developed by SPL, and contract directly with SPL for implementation services. The total value of the license and service contracts to SPL is estimated to exceed $5 million.
The evaluation processes involved a number of demonstrations, responses and follow-ups to the LVVWD Request for Proposals, and a number of detailed gap analysis meetings to define/refine the project scope.
"Las Vegas Valley Water District is an industry leader in initiatives to ensure continuing water service to a burgeoning population in a desert environment," said SPL CEO CD Hobbs. "We look forward to working with LVVWD as they expand vital communications with and services to Southern Nevada consumers and businesses."
