PowerStream engaged Jolt Consulting Group in the summer of 2014 to:

• help the utility identify "best practices" for service delivery in utility companies;
• determine and chart the desired future business processes and flows for its service operations;
• develop a technology architecture map to enable the future service delivery processes;
• identify and evaluate utility specific Workforce Management (WFM) software vendors whose solutions would aid in achieving that desired future state.

A team of Jolt consultants worked closely with the project team and the key stakeholders from PowerStream during numerous onsite discovery and planning sessions.  Jolt Consulting Group evaluated several utility specific Workforce Management software solutions and recommended the most qualified vendors to PowerStream for further in-depth evaluation. Jolt Consulting Group also led efforts to diagram current and future state process flows, evaluate vendor solutions, provide vendor recommendations, thoroughly document findings, and prepare interim and final reports.

Mike Matthews, Senior Vice President of Operations & Construction at PowerStream commented: "The Workforce Management project is a major undertaking here at PowerStream. We believe it will streamline and enhance our service delivery, boost customer satisfaction, and improve our efficiency. We have been very pleased and impressed with Jolt Consulting Group's WorkForce Management expertise, timeliness, thoroughness and professionalism, and we look forward to further collaboration with the Jolt team as we continue with this critical project for our organization."
