Ottawa, Canada, November 20, 2009 --(PR.com)-- NorthStar Utilities Solutions, a division of Harris Computer Systems, announced today that Douglas County Public Utility District No. 1, located in East Wenatchee, WA, has chosen NorthStar CIS for providing it's customers superior customer relations management and utility billing. The Douglas County PUD CIS project implementation includes NorthStar CIS, eCARE Customer Portal, eBilling, Executive Information System, eDocs and Reports Anywhere.
Douglas County PUD, is located in East Wenatchee, WA, in the north-central region of the state. The PUD provides its 18,000 customers with electric service, primarily generated from the PUD's Wells Hydroelectric Project. Wells has become the model for providing clean, efficient and reliable hydroelectric power in the northwest. This project boasts the most effective juvenile fish by-pass on the Columbia River and its operation funds several salmon and steelhead hatcheries. These days, power from Wells is amongst the most cost competitive in the nation, making the area attractive for new "high consumption" industry such as Data Centers.
Douglas County PUD also owns and operates a High Speed Broadband Network, called the Douglas County Community Network (DCCN), which allows customers in rural parts of the county to connect to Broadband Internet through several different local providers.
"After an extensive selection process, we felt that NorthStar provided the best combination of price, performance and customer service. We are very excited to partner with NorthStar for this project," said Zach Gormley, Douglas County PUD Auditor and CIS Projects Manager.
"Douglas County PUD was looking for a state-of-the-art solution that was easy to use and could seamlessly integrate with their utility enterprise systems. We are extremely excited about their selection and about adding Douglas County PUD as our ninth customer in the state of Washington," remarked Rob DiMurro, General Manager for NorthStar Utilities Solutions.
"We look forward to a long and productive relationship with Douglas County PUD," said Ken Hayes, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for NorthStar Utilities Solutions. "We are excited to help them continue to deliver on their long tradition of excellence and customer service."
