“We have been working with the Util-Assist team for several years now, and greatly value their strategic advice and support with respect to smart metering, time-of-use billing, Smart Grid and conservation initiatives. We find Util-Assist team members to be professional, approachable and personable; every consultant that we have worked with has demonstrated an enviable and beneficial depth and breadth of knowledge in their area of expertise. We know that regardless of what the utility sector has in store for us next, Util-Assist will be a few steps ahead of the curve, ready to provide suggestions, strategies, solutions, and practical advice.”
“I don’t see how any utility could manage an advanced meter rollout without a partner like Util-Assist to provide guidance and expertise. Util-Assist’s help proved invaluable as we transformed our system to smart grid operations. Not only did Util-Assist enable our organization to be more productive and precise, but their knowledgeable consultants provided support for every step in the process—from expertly managing City Council expectations, to offering valuable insights on how to communicate complex technology to our customers.”
“How refreshing to work with a firm that isn’t looking for “extra” charges. Util-Assist stands behind the terms of their agreements—several times we thought items could be considered outside of scope, but Util-Assist insisted they were included. We have been very happy with the Sync Operator and Consulting services provided by Util-Assist.”
“Util-Assist has always put the needs of our customers first and they have done a great job managing our Residential Demand Response (RDR) program on our behalf over the past three years. With the introduction of In-Home Displays (IHDs) into the program, we felt their knowledge and expertise in both AMI and HAN would further serve our needs.”
“Util-Assist was instrumental to our success in delivering conservation programs to our customers. Util-Assist proved extremely knowledgeable on all conservation initiatives offered in our marketplace and kept us on top of regulatory changes. I strongly recommend Util-Assist to other utilities looking for professional competence and excellent service.”
“Util-Assist provided exceptional support and guidance in formulating our Conservation and Demand Management Strategy. From helping us with everything from filing annual reports to assisting with delivery agent recruitment, Util-Assist took the hassle out of what is often a time-consuming, complicated process.”
“Working with Util-Assist in the analysis of our meter-to-cash systems and processes was key to improving NBHDL efficiencies and resource utilization. The analysis identified strategic opportunities for efficiencies as well as priorities for closing gaps and mitigating risk. The final report has provided us with a detailed roadmap to implement appropriate change, reduce risk exposure and enable a best practice approach. I highly recommend Util-Assist for their approach, knowledge, and detail of report. Additionally, we have used Util-Assist to assist in expediting the closure of some of the identified gaps.”
