EC Infosystems, a leader in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and Billing/Customer Information Solutions (CIS) for clients in the deregulated energy industry, announced today that it has successfully completed a twenty-market roll-out of its UtiliBill™ integrated EDI and CIS/Billing solution for LifeEnergy.

The installation includes electricity and natural gas utilities in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, New Jersey, and Maryland. The first phase of the roll-out for Pennsylvania went live in less than 5 weeks.

“We wanted a proven, EDI-integrated platform from an experienced vendor that could be quickly and accurately deployed in all of our retail markets,” said LifeEnergy Vice President of Operations, Neil McKellar. “We also needed a system that could easily be integrated with our upstream and downstream applications. After evaluating a number of retail energy billing systems, we chose EC Infosystems’ UtiliBill™ platform as the premier option.”

“We are very pleased to add LifeEnergy to our rapidly growing customer base of competitive energy marketers,” said EC Infosystems’ President and CEO, Mohan Wanchoo. “Our hosted application model and EDI integration make the UtiliBill™ platform a natural choice for energy retailers looking to rapidly expand into new markets.”

“The fact that we were already established and EDI certified in all five deregulated states was exceptionally attractive to a company looking for a fast entry into these markets,” said Ananda Goswami, EC Infosystems’ Vice President of Sales and Marketing, who was responsible for structuring the deal. “Our competitive pricing and low total cost of ownership were other major considerations in LifeEnergy’s decision to choose EC Infosystems.”

LifeEnergy provides electricity, natural gas, solar, distributed generation, liquefied natural gas, and energy services, in deregulated retail markets throughout the U.S. After the initial rollout into the first twenty markets, LifeEnergy plans to expand into all U.S. competitive retail markets.
