5 Functional Cost Model CS IT and CIS costs Our approach to collecting cost, performance and staffing information follows customer transactions through each functional area. CS IT C I S 5
6 CIS vs. CS IT Costs CS IT (as part of Technology cost) is all the encompassing technology in a broad sense so it includes any non-cis and may include some CIS, but is specific to a functional area for example: ACD, IVR, Work Management, Mobile Data are part of CS IT and belong in their respective functional area (ACD to Contact Center etc.) If there is a DIRECT allocation or charge to a function of CIS charges (such as usage or system utilization), then that goes into the CS IT, otherwise it is part of CIS CIS is the system used to to maintain customer information, generate bills, issue service requests, and help manage customer relationships by providing utility representatives data, information and insight about each customer's accounts, individual needs and preferences. Examples of vendor's products include: Accenture's C/1 (Customer-1), Oracle Utilities Customer Care, SAP For Utilities. CIS costs may be costs allocated to or associated with Customer Service but not to specific functions, such as usage charges, data transfer charges, and/or system maintenance charges. If such charges cannot be allocated to a specific function, they would go into the CIS cost column. Everything else such as the Work Management, Mobile Data, Dispatch, ACD, IVR is Customer Service IT and should be specific to a function 6
7 Technology Cost Within Function Technology Any technology specifically used for a function such as meter reading devices, mobile data technology, telephone switch or call routing software, call monitoring software etc. Contact Center: IVR (Interactive Voice Response) ACD (Automatic Call Distributor) Scheduling Software Workforce Management (WFM) Multi-channel processing Web, Social Media technology costs VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) Web/ routers Virtual Hold technology costs 3rd party applications (OMS interface etc.) Field: Mobile data (software and hardware) Scheduling GPS (Global Positioning System) Telecommunications Routing software Dispatching software Revenue Protection Tamper plug Data mining software Meter: Handhelds Routing software Telecommunications Remote disconnect MV 90 GPS (Global Positioning System) Bills: Inserters Web/ , bill presentment C/I billing software Payment: Image processer Slitter/sorter Interface w/kiosks Routing software for off-site payments Payment Kiosks Credit: Behavioral scoring Predictive dialer Credit optimization software 7
