‍Solutions

Strategic Planning: We began by thoroughly understanding the client's requirement of Utilities billing charges vis-a-vis requirements stated from the regulatory body.
Solution Design: Based on the half-cooked solution implemented by earlier vendor, we devised a solution to keep the existing design to the maximum extent and yet meet the requirement of the client.
Functional and Technical implementation: Based on the solid solution design, our consultants quickly came-up with functional and technical implementation.
UAT: Barring minor defects, the solution implementation was almost first-time-right. The new billing charges and subsidies worked as per client's expectations.

Results

In mere 17 days, without a formal hand-over and documentation, Bereej Tech did a herculean job of going live with billing charges and subsidies in time. The solution implemented was robust yet flexible and compartmentalised i.e. changes in one customer segment do not have any adverse impact on another customer segment. Customer was gone-live with the ICPT charges along with their subsidies in time and with absolutely zero production defects.
