The Pageonce solution is designed to help utilities launch mobile application at low cost, drive electronic bill payment and accelerate conversion to paperless statements.

"Many utilities are beginning to think about a mobile bill payment option for their customers, and they are looking for ways to deliver more capabilities, increased choice, higher value, and more frequent interaction for an overall enhanced customer experience," said David Mysona, CEO of Blackstone Technology Group. "The Pageonce solution allows utilities to integrate with the personal finance app that their customers are already accessing daily, with minimal IT costs and effort."
