The Support You Need When You Need It

Milestone allows utilities to focus on their customers while a team of experts maintain, manage, and enhance technology.

Milestone’s Managed Services are flexible to allow for utilities to utilize the skill sets and knowledge of the Milestone team when and how the business needs it. This model gives utilities the ability to focus on the utility core business while Milestone can help maintain systems that support the meter-to-cash process, as well as enhance them.  Our support model provides one single point of contact and reporting to ensure service level agreements (SLAs) are being met. Milestone can help utilities with strategic decisions such as future planning and overall process improvements. The team can also support day-to-day operations and planned projects through our predictable and on-demand services.

The team will provide the following support with on and off-site resources through well-defined processes and clear communication:
