Utility Billing Services Should Save You Money, Not Cost You Money
Utility billing is a cyclical process. There are busy times and slack times. This up and down cycle allows Diversified Technology to maximize use of its staff by moving them from one client’s peak work load to another client’s peak work load without the need to continue to incur staffing expense during non-peak times. This economy of scale also allows better utilization of printing equipment, mail handling equipment and bill processing equipment.
The result is a cost structure that no single utility can match. When compared to the cost of operating an in-house billing department, Diversified Technology’s utility billing service can offer significant savings.
