SPL Unveils Upgrade of Enterprise Business Intelligence for Customer Care & Billing, Enabling Utilities to Receive Near-Real-Time Data



SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13 -- SPL WorldGroup has released an upgrade of its popular Enterprise Business Intelligence (EBI) for Customer Care & Billing (CC&B) software. SPL is a leading provider of strategic utility management software solutions to the global utility market.

"This upgrade, version 2.0.1, provides the option of receiving near-real-time extracts in a continuous stream," said Brian Owenson, sr. director, product management for SPL. "This is particularly important for companies that are using EBI for time-sensitive applications like monitoring outages."

SPL EBI is designed to bridge the gap between customer information and strategic initiatives. Utilities can use SPL EBI to accelerate the analysis of data on revenues, collections, billed usage, service levels, churn and other areas of the business. It lets companies drill down into data to uncover the root causes of problems, enabling them to develop timely and reliable solutions.
