Beaverton, OR, September 06, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The long-time alliance partnership of FirstPoint Energy Corporation and Cipher Systems Inc., a product design and development provider, has developed a fully integrated meter data management service that can provide real-time access and control to FirstPoint customers.

“Cipher Systems Inc. has made an investment to strengthen FirstPoint’s technology offerings and provide a competitive edge above and beyond other energy market companies,” explains Brian Bishop, CEO of Cipher Systems Inc.

FirstPoint now focuses on allowing customers to have real-time access and control of their energy usage.

“We give our customers the flexibility and customization necessary to integrate almost any existing meter system into a fully integrated utility management service,” states Amos Tsikayi, FirstPoint’s CEO.
