What Do We Mean by Information Systems?
In the utilities sector, information systems form the backbone of digital operations.
These include:
- ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) – for finance, procurement, HR, and asset management
- CIS (Customer Information System) – for billing, customer service, and account management
- CRM (Customer Relationship Management) – for customer engagement, communication, and marketing
Each of these plays a vital role in enabling efficient and customer-centric service delivery.
