Oracle Utilities Professional Services introduced Oracle Express Implementation Services to provide a faster and more cost-effective option for mid-size utilities to implement mission-critical software. Oracle Express Implementation Services implements pre-configured applications based on standard, proven business processes to enable utilities to lower implementation time and cost. Using templated business processes that represent the practice for major application areas, and tailored data conversion, integration and reporting tools, utilities can take advantage of Oracle applications' capabilities without drawn out and resource intensive implementation schedules.

Globally, customers have selected Oracle Express Implementation Services including Advanced Metering Services and Louisville Water Company. Since Advanced Metering Services' original systems did not support the growth and flexibility needed to ensure the benefits of the smart meters, AMS selected Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management Express Implementation for Electric Utilities. The resulting system will enable AMS to speed up its time to market for innovations in the way it supplies meter data to its customers, empowering its customers to better understand their energy usage patterns and take advantage of lower tariffs. Louisville Water Company selected Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing, Oracle Utilities Mobile Workforce Management and Oracle Utilities Customer Self Service to standardize its business processes and ultimately improve customer service. Using the Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing Express Implementation for Water Utilities, Louisville Water Company hopes to reduce operational costs, improve decision making, enhance customer service delivery and increase revenue and cash flow through standardization on Oracle technology and standard business processes.
