In addition, with a broad array of services -- including electric, water, solid waste disposal, security and appliance and insulation financing -- BTU needs the ability to communicate with and cross-sell to its customer base. An effective and efficient way to do this is through a billing system that can design and print bills with customized messages.

"Docucorp's solution not only fulfilled all these requirements, but it also provided a user-friendly system with a short learning curve that will enable our in-house staff to begin producing new bills quickly and efficiently." "BTU will face new challenges with deregulation, thus it needs to design bills that vary greatly in terms of location of customers, availability of services and products, and even method of payment," said William D. Barry, Docucorp's senior vice president, sales and marketing. "We look forward to working with them on a billing solution that will easily handle these complex, multi-faceted production challenges and help them achieve the cross- and up-selling of non-traditional services and products necessary for future success." BTU plans to introduce the new bills sometime in mid-2002, cycled over a four-day period. To introduce the new format to customers, BTU will run ads in local newspapers and place a detailed example on the company Web site at www.btutilities.com.
