At Oracle Utilities, we know this industry. You're navigating complex regulations, aging infrastructure, and evolving cybersecurity threats—all so you can deliver great service and an exceptional experience, to set your organization up for success.

Our Customer Success Managers (CSMs) understand these pressures firsthand, having worked alongside utilities organizations from around the world through the complexities unique to the industry. That experience means they can offer guidance and advice that’s anchored by real-world understanding.

Customer success defined

At its core, we define customer success as enabling you to achieve your most important business goals through your investment in Oracle solutions. It’s more than satisfaction; it’s about measurable results that move your organization forward. When you work with the Oracle Utilities Customer Success team, you can expect transparency, proactive advice, and insight grounded in industry experience.

The role of your Customer Success Manager 

Your Customer Success Manager is your trusted advisor—someone who understands both the utilities industry, and your chosen Oracle Utilities solutions. They work closely with your team, and help you make informed decisions throughout your journey. It’s worth noting while your CSM can advocate for your needs and help connect you with the right people, they don’t handle technical support or manage Service Requests (SRs). For technical questions or SRs, Oracle Support takes the lead. Your CSM is focused on your overall experience and helping you to achieve your desired outcomes.
