Modernizing customer and billing support.

ATLANTA, GA – August 24, 2022 – Red Clay Consulting, a Gold Level Member of the Oracle Partner Network and a solutions implementer that helps utilities modernize through technology solutions, today announces its selection as the Solutions Implementer for the first ever implementation of Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing Cloud Service (CCBCS) at the Region of Peel.

The Region of Peel (the Region) is a municipality in the Greater Toronto Area. It consists of three municipalities to the west and northwest of the city of Toronto: the cities of Mississauga and Brampton, and the town of Caledon. The Region provides safe, high-quality drinking water to over 500,000 utility customers throughout Peel every day.

The Region has been using a self-hosted version of Oracle Utilities Customer Care & Billing (CC&B) since 2015 to manage customer information for billing and meter information and reads. With its current version (CC&B v2.4) having reached its end-of-life support, the Region selected CCBCS, a cloud instance of CC&B, as their future-state CIS to ensure business continuity, modernize, integrate, and enhance business functionality.

The Region chose Red Clay as their Oracle CCBCS Solution Integrator after a competitive solicitation process. Among all proposers, the Region scored Red Clay the highest across its criteria of bidder experience, team members’ qualifications, proposed implementation plan, ability to meet the solution requirements, and proposed price.

“We are excited to work with the Region of Peel as they begin this upgrade to a modernized cloud version of CC&B,” said Paul Marnell, Red Clay Consulting CEO. “This CCBCS implementation will support their vision to create a Community for Life by sustaining their current functions and future needs.”

The Region’s Oracle CCBCS implementation will be integrated with their current implementation of IBM’s Maximo Asset Management and Neptune metering solutions.

This project is scheduled to begin in September 2022 and go live in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Driving technology toward a digitally engaged customer.

ATLANTA, GA – August 4, 2022 – Red Clay Consulting, a Gold Level Member of the Oracle Partner Network and a top-tier Oracle solutions implementer, today announces Pasadena Water and Power’s successful go-live of their Oracle Utilities Customer to Meter (C2M) system hosted on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Oracle C2M hosted on Oracle’s secure cloud connects data and devices across customer-facing operations to deliver services that meet the evolving expectations of digitally minded customers.

Pasadena Water and Power (PWP) is a municipally owned utility providing electricity, water, sewer, refuse, and utility-related account billing for customers within Pasadena and adjacent communities. In addition to local accountability, PWP is subject to requirements established by numerous state and federal regulatory bodies.

In 2019 PWP was operating on a legacy Customer Information System (CIS) that was no longer equipped to support its connected customers and their devices. To engage with the modern utility customer PWP sought to strategically lay a modern meter-to-cash technology foundation – rooted in a legacy CIS replacement and AMI rollout.

PWP’s vision for their CIS replacement included:

  • Improve system agility and access to provide greater financial control, security, and auditing
  • Support the needs of today’s engaged customer with real-time actionable consumption and account data
  • Support business initiatives

To achieve this vision, in 2020 PWP partnered with Red Clay Consulting to implement Oracle Utilities Customer to Meter (C2M) and Oracle Field Service in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, integrated with bill printing, bill payment, and a customer portal. The team led by Red Clay included InfoSend – the bill print vendor, Paymentus – the bill payment vendor, and Accelerated Innovations.

This implementation marked the first installation of PortalOne, Red Clay’s and Accelerated Innovations’ fully integrated, pre-built customer experience solution to enable the seamless flow of utility data. PortalOne is a SaaS software platform that delivers digital customer engagement functionality.

“We’re proud to have been PWP’s partner on this journey,” said Paul Marnell, CEO of Red Clay Consulting. “This Oracle cloud deployment will help PWP continue to provide their customers the service they expect in this modern, digital world.”

The integrated Oracle C2M system implemented by Red Clay is already paying dividends. It has enabled PWP to improve the customer experience, provide customers with real-time usage information, reduce power outages and restoration time, and support real-time customer billing.

Offering Operations as a Service to support day-to-day billing processes

ATLANTA, GA – June 13, 2022 – Red Clay Consulting, a Gold Level Member of the Oracle Partner Network and a top-tier Oracle solutions implementer, today announces a partnership with a large southern electric and natural gas supplier to provide Oracle Utilities Meter Solutions v1 Operations as a Service (OaaS) support for their Billing Component and Energy Information Platform to support their billing process

The Utility is a Fortune 500 integrated energy company engaged primarily in electric power production and retail distribution operations across several southern states. The Utility supports 3 million electric and over 200,000 natural gas customers in the region.

With Oracle Utilities Meter Solutions v1 reaching end of support from Oracle, the Utility found themselves in need of a partner to support the system. They selected Red Clay as a partner because of their demonstrated commitment to their customers, deep understanding of the utility business, and ability to provide ongoing support to a critical business application.

Another critical factor in their selection of Red Clay was Red Clay’s long history with Lodestar, the predecessor application to Oracle Utilities Billing Component. Red Clay has a long history of supporting Lodestar clients like EnerNOC, Exelon, Georgia System Operations, IESO, Knoxville Utilities Board, North American Energy Solutions, Praxair, San Diego Gas and Electric, and TransAlta Corporation. This history makes Red Clay uniquely qualified to support the Utility’s Oracle Utilities Meter Solutions, including Billing Component, Energy Information Platform, and Load Profile and Settlement.

Red Clay Consulting will provide application support for the Utility’s Oracle Utility Billing Cloud and Oracle Utilities Information Platform. To reduce system risk, Red Clay will provide an assessment of their rules language. Red Clay will also expand the knowledge of the Utility’s internal team through knowledge transfer. Red Clay team members will advise the Utility on what capabilities are available, best practices, and how to achieve the most benefit from their solutions.

The Utility was seeking a long-term partner who would contribute to their organizational success through a deep understanding of their systems while easily blending into their project team. They selected Red Clay to support their teams because of the valuable industry expertise Red Clay brings to the table to tackle transformations that optimize the Utility’s business processes.

Through their OaaS partnership with Red Clay, the Utility will have access to Red Clay’s system experts to ensure continuity for a mission-critical application.

Red Clay’s Operations as a Service offering complements internal IT staff, subject matter experts, business analysts, testing specialists, report writers, and other key team members. The OaaS teams include former utility employees, experienced Oracle-trained consultants, and IT professionals who provide support custom-tailored by unique client needs. The benefits of OaaS include a formalized cost structure, measured accountability through performance reporting, and the freedom for a utility’s most valuable internal resources to focus their energy elsewhere.

“Everyone at Red Clay our customers interact with is an Oracle Utilities expert,” said Jeannie Sargent, Red Clay Director of Shared Services. “There is no first level, second level, and so on. Our customers have true 24/7/365 expert support.”

A monumental step in one water utility’s roadmap to improve customer experience and address resource scarcity

ATLANTA, GA – May 18, 2022 –

Red Clay Consulting, a Gold Level Member of the Oracle Partner Network and a top tier Oracle solutions implementer, today announces the successful go-live with a large southwestern water utility of their Oracle Utilities Customer to Meter (C2M) system. Oracle C2M brings together market-leading customer care and metering in one solution, running on one database, accessed through one screen, delivering connected operations and more valuable connections with the Utility’s customers.
The client is a large water utility facing challenges including drought, resource scarcity, and increasing customer expectations.
To address these challenges and improve customer engagement, the Utility is turning to Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). At the heart of this initiative is a project to upgrade to an integrated Meter Data Management/Customer Information System (MDM/CIS) platform that can help the utility leverage meter data to “connect the dots” across meter-to-cash-to-customer operations. The Utility’s connected-data foundation will address strategic customer and operational objectives, such as:

  • Empowering customers with better visibility into their accounts and usage
  • Intelligent customer engagement, communications, and program promotion
  • More accurate reads and billing through daily/hourly meter reads
  • Reducing field crew deployments and making service calls more efficient
  • Increasing conservation program performance through targeted communications and enforcement via meter data
  • Protecting revenue through data-enabled leak detection

In 2019 the Utility partnered with Red Clay Consulting to upgrade from Oracle Utilities Customer Care & Billing (CC&B) v2.4.3 to Oracle Utilities C2M. C2M enables the Utility to streamline the meter-to-cash-to-customer process, link customer and meter data seamlessly with no middleware, and reduce platform costs.
In addition to supporting functionality within C2M, Red Clay has worked with the Utility to understand their business intelligence requirements and analytics needs and developed KPIs, reports, and dashboards to support business decision making.
“We are proud to support our clients as they further realize the value of their AMI investment, and continue on their transformational customer experience roadmap,” said Paul Marnell, CEO of Red Clay Consulting. “This project go-live marks one of the largest implementations of C2M for an AMI water utility known to date.”
This C2M implementation by Red Clay allows for a significantly smoother transition for the Utility’s current Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) rollout. With this scalable solution, the Utility can now gather real-time, actionable data across the utility to support analytics, field service automation, alerts & events, optimize billing processes, improve customer engagement, and support conservation through leak notifications and service rule education.

Generating actionable data to enhance billing processes

ATLANTA, GA – May 6, 2022 –

Red Clay Consulting, a Gold Level Member of the Oracle Partner Network and a solutions implementer that helps utilities modernize through technology solutions, today announces a partnership to support the upgrade of a large public utility’s existing billing system.

The client is a nonprofit public utility that provides wholesale electric, water, and transmission services to cities and electric cooperatives, helping fuel one of the nation’s fastest-growing regions. As the primary wholesale provider of electricity in the region, this utility currently serves more than 30 city utilities and electric cooperatives.

The utility is currently using the Oracle Utilities Billing Component 1.6 (formerly Lodestar) as their rate calculation engine and the Energy Information Platform component as their customer web portal for the presentment of invoices and for access to supporting information. The utility has used their current system to generate and present invoices to their wholesale and transmission customers for more than 20 years. Oracle is ending support for this legacy billing system in 2022, and the utility sought to procure a market-based solution to replace the end-of-life billing system and the customer portal. They are upgrading their existing billing systems to the Oracle Utilities Customer Cloud Service.

The utility elected to migrate to a cloud solution to keep their technology current and maintain technical and security currency that is not possible in an on-premises environment. Oracle Utilities Customer Cloud Service is a fully SaaS solution that enables business agility and innovations, provides security, risk reduction and stability and reduces the burden on Information Technology departments so a utility’s focus can remain on the customer.

“We are excited to work alongside our partners as they embark on this upgrade that will provide their wholesale electric customers with reliable, cost-effective power,” said Paul Marnell, CEO of Red Clay Consulting. “Their upgrade to the cloud reduces both capital and operating costs, powerfully supports data security, and provides the ability to keep pace with technology and improve operational flexibility.”

The Oracle Utilities Customer Cloud Service provides access to specific billing capabilities and supporting billing-related functions such as managing device information, managing billing-related measurement and device event data, and configuration of rating and billing.

This project began in January 2022 and will go live in the first quarter of 2023.
