Happy SilverBlaze Customer
SilverBlaze is a valuable resource for our customers and reduces the workload for our internal staff. The staff are easy to work with and shows a desire to enhance our functionality and improve our customers experience. An overall great team to interact with.
Pros
Simple platform to use for our customers. Had the features needed to assist customers and was easy to work with to add new functionality. Features we like for our customers: Graphs, Access to Bill and Notice Documents, Comparison to neighbors, Extension options, and Ability to sign for or disconnect services.
Cons
Would like to see an expansion of software for internet and telecommunication services. Also would like to see AMI data for water services and more specialized information for Industrial customers such as reporting and real time data.

SilverBlaze was easy to work with when setting up our new customer portal.
Greater ease of use for our customers and staff. We never had to option before to check the status of customer login, so it definitely reduces issues and faster resolution with customers. The option to allow each User to change the customer login was requested and Capricorn actually programmed and put the changes in place, quickly. Training was easy to setup and staff were comfortable once we started testing.
Pros
Easy to use, when managing our customer base. We like the ease of the Customer Services reps helping customers online, whether it's sending them another email or changing the status of their login.
Cons
Not sure if it's a good idea, but somehow need to view customer password? Capricorn ratings come in daily, a list of the ratings based on screen the customer commented would be helpful.

The staff is very easy to work with from demo, purchase, to implementation and ongoing support.
Pros
This software is very easy to navigate with a lot of information available at your fingertips. The interface is modern looking and intuitive. Our customers can better manage and keep track of their consumption for water and electricity, view copies of their bills and pay online which helps lower call volume in the office.
Cons
There really isn't much that I don't like about the software! We use export tables from our CIS system which means the data is not real time information. We are currently working to use available API's to help with a real time integration. User classes had to be setup to determine which tabs to 'show' for each customer for the different services. I would like to see the software determine which tabs to show based off the information in the tables that is available.

This is a full featured reasonably priced web portal.
At OMU we wanted a web portal that was full featured plus. Our customers expect the standard information and functionality, such as bills and payments. However, with Capricorn our customers get so much more. The bill analytics with graphs are outstanding and really help our customers evaluate their utility usage. We are very pleased with the Capricorn web portal and its continuing development.
Pros
The bill analytics with graphs are outstanding. The team at Silver Blaze is easy to work with, and keeps our best interest in mind.

Engaging customers with self-service tools using Capricorn customer portal for utilities
PowerStream's My Account portal has received top marks from our customer focus groups for its design and ease of navigation. Regardless of the device being used, our customers are impressed with the self-serve options and 24/7/365 availability of the Capricorn energy management and account inquiry tools.

Great Product
Pros
Utility is available 27/7. This flexibility makes it capable of allowing customers to perform their work with the utility when it is most convenient for them and not the utility. Very interactive and ensures that all information is collected.
Cons
I have no real concerns at the present time. We are working on expanding the services and expect it to be even better than the existing
