More importantly, CIS Infinity is ready to adapt as our utility evolves", says Ms. Tam.

The flexibility that CIS Infinity provides is consistent with the electric utility's forward-thinking approach to customer management. According to Sean Fuller, BEL's Senior Manager - Information Systems, "We have a strong vision of where we want BEL to go, and CIS Infinity is the most reliable, flexible way to achieve that vision."
