London Hydro Selects SAP & WIPRO to Develop New Computer System
   
 
London, Ontario, June 28, 2007
London Hydro announced the selection of the SAP IS-U system for their new Customer Information System and Wipro as the system integrator.

After extensive research and a public request for proposal process, London Hydro management has reached an agreement with SAP and Wipro to begin building and implementing the new system.

"With the introduction of smart meters and the increased complexity in the billing processes for our customers, London Hydro recognized a new system would be required to meet the growing demands," says Bernie Watts, CEO. "Our management team has worked hard to find a software vendor that could meet our needs and expectations within the required timeline, and provide the flexibility for future changes, and we are very pleased with our selection.

Installation of a new CIS system will support implementation of smart meter technologies, time of use billing, demand side management and future initiatives.

"SAP is pleased to have been awarded the contract to work with London Hydro in developing the new CIS system and we're happy to be a part of the transition to a flexible customer information system that will help London Hydro meet the growing needs of their customers ensuring that they continue to provide excellent service to their customers," says Paul Carreiro, Executive Vice President, SAP Canada Inc.

Bala Pandalangat, Country Manager for Wipro Technologies says, "London Hydro is already recognized as a technology leader in the province of Ontario and Wipro is particularly excited to be able to participate in the next big leap from the existing CIS system to the latest solution from SAP. We are pleased to help London Hydro leverage the Wipro global delivery model to assist a Canadian utility which as a result will help other companies in the region."
