COMMONWEALTH EDISON SOLUTION
BACKGROUND
Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) manages a portfolio of commercial and industrial energy efficiency incentive
programs known as Smart Ideas for Your Business®. In 2010, ComEd began to focus on segment-based strategies
and coordinated, multi-party outreach to increase program participation among business customers.
FINDING THE RIGHT SOFTWARE SOLUTION

manner, ComEd wanted a verticalized customer relationship
management (CRM) system that would:
Manage relationships effectively across multiple parties
Accurately track the outreach pipeline and results in real time
Streamline the opportunity assessment process
Fully coexist with existing IT paradigms
Continually adapt, evolve and scale to meet ComEd’s needs
COMMONWEALTH EDISON ADOPTS ENERGYORBIT

three weeks of contract signature, and over a
series of iterations enabled ComEd to:
