Wipro helped Wessex Water automate its search orders and improve team productivity with a fully integrated, scalable platform
Client Background
Wessex Searches, a unit of Wessex Water, provides drainage and water enquiry in the Wessex Water region. It also provides conveyancing searches related to coal, environment, flood, planning and local authority searches both for residential and commercial properties.
Industry Landscape
Official drainage and water search is an essential part of the conveyancing process. It provides information on water and sewerage infrastructure for prospective property buyers. The enquiry protects UK property buyers from unnecessary risks, with a clear trail of responsibility going back to the water companies. The UK water utilities, which are thus making investments in technology and training for improved property search systems, data quality and service levels to deliver effective services to property buyers.
The Opportunity
Wessex Searches needed an integrated platform to meet increasing search demand. They also needed to retain the customer base by developing a reformed search application which would help provide better customer service and improve SLAs.
Solution
Wipro, in collaboration with the Wessex team, successfully delivered Searches Transformation to improve the business landscape with a proven technical solution. The solution components included:
Highly scalable Searches platform for Searches administration and end-to-end processing of orders
XML Integration based on OSCRE (Open Standards Consortium for Real Estate) for all major customers
New secure and improved Website for end customers
Business Impact
Energy and Utility companies rely on their ETRM applications 24x7. With changes in the business, competitive and regulatory environments, ETRM application users have begun to demand, on average, three to six monthly enhancements.
The need for Energy Trading and Risk Management (ETRM) applications has seen immense growth throughout the IT boom. Initially these applications were very rudimentary, handling physical commodity deal capture and limited in terms of lack of mid and back ofce processing capabilities.
A Water Utility customer service unit deals with two types of customer enquiries and service requests. The first type relates to the retail side of business, covering billing, charges, metering and typically involve revenue and payment matters
