Cayenta CIS

Cayenta CIS is a customer information system for municipal and mid-market utilities, part of Harris Computer. Here is its module suite and where it fits as an alternative to SAP and Oracle.

Cayenta CIS is the most credible mid-market alternative to the SAP and Oracle giants for utility customer information and billing. This topic covers the Harris Computer suite, names the actual modules, and sets it honestly against SAP IS-U and Oracle CC&B.

The flagship review goes module by module and explains when Cayenta is the right call.

Before shortlisting, use the utility CIS selection scorecard to give each vendor the same billing, integration and conversion scenarios. Keep Cayenta’s own modules separate from connected Harris products when defining the proposed scope.
