ORLANDO, FL and BEND, OR - December 15, 2004. Wisconsin's
St. Croix Valley Natural Gas has contracted with Innoprise Software,
Inc. for new enterprise software that will replace the utility's legacy
system. The gas company purchased Innoprise CIS, Financials and
Work Management software, along with hardware and implementation
services. St. Croix Valley Natural Gas is located in the city of
Riverfalls, WI, and supplies gas service to more than 6,000 customers.
Innoprise Financials will be the first
initial software package to be implemented starting in the first
quarter of 2005. Innoprise CIS and Innoprise Work Management will
follow.
The new software offers inherent
Internet capability and Microsoft Office integration,” explained Donald
Piepgras, president for the utility. “Since our utility does not have
dedicated internal IT support, features like these eliminate the
overhead needed to perform time-consuming queries.” Through advanced
filtering, reports using data extracted from the CIS can be integrated
into Microsoft® Excel, Word, HTML or PDF files with one click.
“Also,” said Piepgras, “we have some
customers today who are interested in on-line bill presentation and
payment. To just add that feature to our legacy system would have been
extremely costly. By implementing Innoprise applications, our utility
will benefit with improved customer service, faster customization, less
expensive maintenance and lower integration costs.”
Innoprise applications use a Java™ 2
Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE™) architecture that enables advanced
functionality not possible with older-generation legacy systems.
Innoprise Software, Inc. provides enterprise software for
the specific business challenges of utilities and local government
agencies. For the last two years, the company has teamed with a core
group of customers and concentrated all of its resources on developing
next generation software for CIS, financial management, community
development and work management. The new software is based on 30 years
of industry experience, Java™ and Internet technologies that enable
Innoprise customers to reduce their cost of service, streamline
operations and improve productivity. For additional information, visit www.innoprise.com.
