Utility Digital Experience Study

Every interaction a customer has with their local electric, gas and water utility reflects their overall experience. It is critical for utility companies to provide services that delight customers at every touch point—from reviewing account information online, to making a payment on their mobile app, to resolving an issue through email. Consumer behaviors and expectations are changing, and companies must be able to provide services when and where their customers want them. Utilities that understand their digital strengths and weaknesses will be better positioned to improve customer satisfaction by deploying resources to enhance areas that will have the most impact.
