CMG's highly experienced outsourcing division, have chosen B-Smart ™ as their product of choice for providing end to end services in the deregulated metering market.
As LogicaCMG explain “outsourcing offers a powerful solution to staff shortages and spiralling IT management costs and confidence in the managed service providers' capabilities is rising. Whereas companies first outsourced non-critical functions, such as staff catering and security where cost considerations were paramount, they have since handed-over responsibility for functions such as facilities management and information services maintenance, where possessing expensive expertise in-house is unnecessary. As large corporations have gained experience, they have entrusted more critical processes and systems to expert providers”.
In the UK deregulated gas meter market, the first customer to take advantage of LogicaCMG’s bureau service offering is Scottish & Southern. Both LogicaCMG and Scottish & Southern have extensively reviewed the functionality provided by Generis Technology’s B-Smart™ product suite and have concluded that the design approach taken meets both their current and future business requirements.
B-Smart™ is highly configurable via its core Work Flow Management software, providing much needed flexibility within a dynamic deregulated market. Both Supplier and Meter Asset Management companies can effectively deploy B-Smart™.
The suite comes with a comprehensive choice of support packages enabling clients to receive industry upgrades and direct support whilst also having the opportunity to influence B-Smart’s future direction.
