AAC Utility Partners is pleased to announce TriSummit Utilities’ successful deployment to a new customer information system, including Apex Utilities, Heritage Gas, and Pacific Northern Gas.

TriSummit Utilities Inc. operates as an integrated utility company based in Calgary, Alberta, and serves just over 130,000 customers in Alberta, Nova Scotia, and British Columbia. The Company comprises a unique diversified portfolio of high quality, strategically located Canadian utility and renewable power assets.

AAC Utility Partners led TriSummit Utilities through an assessment and selection process for a new customer information system. TriSummit selected VertexOne as its vendor of choice, and AAC worked with all parties to develop and negotiate the NavigateOne™ Statement of Work. The NavigateOne™ Statement of Work served as the foundation for the implementation, defining responsibility and accountability to ensure a unified collaborative effort to meet TriSummit’s requirements and business objectives. The project team was challenged to bring three separate utilities, on two disparate legacy CIS systems, together under a common solution. AAC provided project implementation leadership services for the TriSummit transformation project, guided by AAC’s NavigateOne™ methodology. The implementation was completed entirely remotely during the pandemic, and go-live was successfully achieved on August 3rd.

TriSummit’s Project Sponsor, Mike Stock, commented, “This was a major transformation for our Company, and we are very proud of our team’s accomplishment in this unusual and necessarily remote working climate. We applaud the direction provided through AAC Utility Partners and VertexOne’s flexibility and commitment. The project was truly a team effort, working together to maintain a smooth process in completing this complex undertaking. We look forward to the benefits the new CIS will allow us to deliver to our customers and internal operations.”

Edwin Crow, AAC Managing Partner, expressed, “We gratefully acknowledge TriSummit’s commitment to the success of this project. It takes a collaborative effort by all parties to successfully undertake a major digital transformation. Congratulations to TriSummit and the entire project team, of which we are proud to be a part, for a quality and successful deployment.”
