Advanced was with us every step of the way from start to finish. Every role, be it our project manager, technical consultant, or product trainer was attentive to our process and invested in our success. We started our upgrade process from a position that had lost significant institutional knowledge of the working parts of many of our daily processes within our CIS. Advanced helped us rediscover that knowledge and then some through training, a thorough inspection of our activities, and through comparison with other clients.

Advanced was a unanimous decision with the team. At every stage of the process they were able to answer all of our questions no matter the complexity. Their team took the time to understand our current and future needs, while keeping us informed of the changing technology landscape. Their product stood above others in terms of features and usability. Infinity CIS has the ability to integrate easily, and with their large number of installations we are confident this is the right solution for VGS. It was apparent from the early stages that Advanced builds relationships with their customers and we look forward to being partners for years to come.
The implementation of a comprehensive customer information and utility billing solution involves uncertainty, complexity and a lot of change in a relatively short amount of time. We use every tool in our arsenal to mitigate and combat this. This includes a combination of relying on our Project Management Professional certified project managers to lead our projects, an award-winning implementation methodology and clear, consistent communication throughout the project.
For nearly 20 years we’ve been building relationships with utility staff across California. We’ve earned their trust and business by taking the time to really understand each individual utility department’s specific concerns, business process needs and overall goals. With this in mind we’re able to configure our functionally rich software to provide solutions to any challenges our customers face. We also ensure that what we’ve put into place truly addresses each of our customer’s unique requirements.
