CMC
to provide end-to-end billing solutions
for Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam
Ltd
Agra,
August 05, 2004
CMC
Limited (a Tata enterprise), a global
provider of IT services, announced today
that it has signed an agreement to implement
computerised hand-held billing system
for Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam
Ltd. (UP government undertaking). This
would include door-to-door survey, master
data updation, GIS mapping, meter reading
& bill generation through hand held
machine, payment collection through cheque,
bank reconciliation and meter installation.
The
penetration of information technology
has brought about a drastic change in
the way business is done in the power
industry. State electricity boards in
India suffer huge power losses, for technical
and non-technical reasons. Reducing technical
losses needs high investments, and is
a long-term process, but setting up IT-based
systems can reduce non-technical losses
for efficient consumer servicing and billing,
with much lower investments.
CMC
was the preferred partner against stiff
competition. CMC's solutions offer an
integrated consumer relationship management
and energy accounting system, for efficient
management control of power utilities.
It has several value-added features, which
lead to reduction of non-technical losses
and better consumer servicing.
Speaking
on the occasion, Mr S Niyogi, managing
director, DVVNL said, "Computerised
hand held billing solution will be implemented
at electricity urban distribution circle,
Agra under DVVNL, Agra. Besides ensuring
greater consumer convenience and transparency
in the system, it would lead to strengthening
of revenue realisation."
According
to Mr R Ramanan managing director and
ceo, CMC pointed out that, "The challenge
of the project would be the sheer size
and geographical spread. This project
denotes the vibrant partnership between
CMC and the government of Uttar Pradesh.
CMC's rich expertise in the area of egovernance
and experience in providing dedicated
engineering solutions for the power sector
would ensure benefits for the masses.
Enhancements to the functionality would
continue to be made over time to make
the system more citizen friendly."
