InvoiceCloud and Harris Systems & Software Celebrate 10-Year Alliance Serving Local Governments and Utilities

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--InvoiceCloud, a leading solution for digital bill payment services, and Systems & Software (S&S), a leading provider of utility management solutions and a Harris Computer subsidiary, announced significant customer milestones as a result of a 10-year collaboration. InvoiceCloud serves nearly 70% of System & Software’s local government and utility customers.

“Our integration with InvoiceCloud’s SaaS solution gives our utility customers the tools and support needed to provide their bill payers with easier, more intuitive self-service payment options,” said Julie Hextell, Executive VP of Systems & Software at Harris. “We’re not only helping our customers meet their bottom lines, but also helping exceed customer expectations by making the payment experience easier than ever for a diverse customer base whose comfort paying bills online varies dramatically.”

Key benefits of the strategic relationship have included helping many mutual local government utility customers:

• Increase their Customer Satisfaction via modernized, easy-to-use payments that help make life easier for joint customers.
• Improve their Operational Efficiency via increased numbers of self-service including digital payment adoption, paperless enrollment, and AutoPay.
• Increase their Employee Satisfaction via reduced manual processes and simplified internal workflows.

“At InvoiceCloud, our focus on accelerating on-time payments and lowering costs for billers is only possible by ensuring everyone can pay bills when and how they want,” said Kevin O’Brien, CEO of InvoiceCloud. “For nearly 10 years, we have partnered with S&S to drive digital adoption for utilities and deliver a best-in-class payment experience to a range of communities.”

Many InvoiceCloud and S&S customers, including those highlighted below, have seen significant increases in total digital adoption, paperless enrollment, and AutoPay adoption after going live on the InvoiceCloud – S&S integrated solution. Multiple utilities using the joint platform have also reported seeing an increase in on-time payments as a result of smart, dynamic communications and reductions in Days Sales Outstanding.
