UK electricity provider, Southern Electric, has unveiled a £50m customer management system from IBM.
Southern Electric will be using the system to provide customer service and multi-utility billing to its 2.5 million customers.
The system has taken four and a half years to design and install. A Southern Electric spokesman said similar IBM projects have failed at other utilities, but that its final system was worth the wait.
