## Description
OVERVIEW OF REQUIREMENT 
Energia is seeking an experienced and forward-thinking Supplier to partner with on a transformative journey: delivering a cutting-edge, SaaS based billing and CRM platform (CRMB Platform), along with expert system implementation services and long-term support services. 
This procurement includes:
•	A SaaS based CRM and billing platform (CRMB Platform), with a managed service
•	Systems implementation services
•	Ongoing post-implementation support services 
Current Context
The decision to transition to a CRMB Platform is driven by our strategic need to future-proof our operations in a rapidly evolving energy landscape. In addition, moving away from traditional on-premises systems eliminates the need for major infrastructure upgrades in the future, reducing long term operational risk and enabling the business to focus on delivering enhanced value to customers and stakeholders. 
The current billing systems integrate with a number of internal, external and customer facing systems. These systems are critical to Energia and include (but not limited to); Market systems (which facilitate the sending and receiving of market messages, customer and payment information), customer communications management systems (to send and store all letter and email communications that are sent to customers as well as bills generated by the billing systems), customer account management (online and app solutions), online self-service journeys (to support key processes such as change of supplier, change of tenancy etc), as well as internal and external reporting (Qliksense, Qlikview, Power Bi). 
A detailed overview of the current system architecture is provided in Appendix 2, Scope of Services.
The platform must be able to integrate with other key business and market systems.  Customer Experience is a core part of our Positive Energy Strategy, so the platform should enable us to deliver seamless customer journeys, with channels including telephony, email and chat. While also supporting our agents by utilising AI and advances in technology to service customers. 
Additionally, the platform should support our needs around energy transition to support customers with their core energy supply and future product offerings.
Migrating to a CRMB Platform will allow Energia to;
•	Be at the forefront of the Energy Transition in Ireland and maintain market position through innovative product propositions, demand management and integration with renewables & flexibility markets
•	Implement regulatory changes with minimal disruption to business operations
•	Maintain our low cost to serve and excellent customer service credentials
Scope Clarification 
Energia intends to procure a CRM and Billing Platform capable of supporting both residential and commercial customers. However, depending on market conditions and the outcomes of this procurement, Energia may initially elect to contract for a residential only implementation. Energia reserves the right, at its sole discr...
