Information Technology Services
During the past several years, our IT Services Division has been providing a broad range of technology related services to our customers that go beyond the scope of our standard software support. As a technology company, we have the experience to work with your existing IT staff on special projects (e.g. Email Filtering, Internet Backups, etc) or, if needed, BAS can function as your IT department. We are able to provide these services because we have the same needs ourselves. Information technology is as vital to us as it is to you and we made a commitment to resolving our own technological needs from day one.
Outsourcing your IT responsibilities to BAS will allow you to focus on your core responsibilities. Our IT solutions will help maximize your efficiencies by providing integrated support for both our applications and your network simultaneously giving you a single point of contact for your technical needs. Working with BAS means working with an organization whose sole focus is to understands the needs of municipalities.
In January of 2009, the Town of Victor installed a new water software program from BAS. The Town of Victor has approximately 4,000 water customers. Therefore, we were looking for a very efficient, user friendly program, with exceptional customer service.
BAS offered an up-to-date software program with many useful options. The bar code scan feature cuts the time it takes to enter payments in half. Another great feature of this software is the ability to reprint bills during a billing cycle. The ease in maintaining and changing ownership and meter information for water accounts has been very valuable. The ability to print bills in zip code order has made sorting for bulk mailing time effective. There is also an option to maintain work orders for each property, which makes troubleshooting possible meter problems much easier.
Along with all the great software options, the customer service from BAS is exceptional. Any time we need assistance they are able to immediately address our problems. They work efficiently and effectively with our IT support staff, meter vendors and our office to ensure that all problems are resolved. There have been occasions where the BAS staff has worked weekends and overtime just to make sure all operations were running smoothly. They are incredibly loyal to their customers and go above and beyond to ensure they are satisfied.
