Our Mission
We help utilities operate with confidence through accurate billing, secure systems, and technology built to perform over time.
Our Foundation
What Defines Us
Heritage That Compounds
50+ years of production use means the enQuesta platform has encountered and solved every billing scenario a utility can design. This is not theoretical. It is tested, refined, and running live at utilities across the country.
Constellation Software: Built to Hold
As part of Constellation Software (TSX: CSU), Systems & Software operates under a long-term ownership model with no exit pressure and no pivot to a different market. Patient capital funding sustained product development — and it shows.
People Who Stay
The experts who implement your system are the same people who support it long-term. No handoff to a generic support desk. No turnover that erases institutional knowledge. Relationships measured in years, not ticket queues.
History
50 Years in the Making.
Founded in Burlington, Vermont. Local contractors, Burroughs hardware, and the start of a 50-year run in mission-critical billing software.
Dave Willey designs CUPS, the company's first significant software pivot. Target shifts from contractors to credit unions in Massachusetts.
Banking clients follow. The Willsboro Savings engagement codifies a practice that persists to this day: process deposits before withdrawals.
Vermont Electric Co-op becomes the first utility customer. The direction that defines everything after this point.
A deliberate expansion into New York State municipal utilities. Fund accounting, general ledger, and the full complexity of public-sector billing.
Burroughs to IBM. Dave Decker leads the platform migration without disrupting existing customers or losing institutional knowledge.
The year that matters. CIS written from scratch. Milwaukee is the first large-scale installation. The same core architecture powers enQuesta today.
Y2K compliance work for ten large customers. PC workstations and terminal emulation deliver continuity without forcing replacement.
Winfast delivers the first GUI screens. The user experience modernizes. The production-tested platform underneath stays intact.
Browser-native interfaces, lakehouse analytics, and continuous platform investment. Modernization without reimplementation.
Platform expansion accelerates. MeterSense MDM, enQuestaLink, Capricorn Portal, and enQuesta Lakehouse launch as integrated modules around the enQuesta CIS core — completing a full utility operations suite under one vendor.
Systems & Software launches a new brand identity. A cleaner story, a rebuilt web presence, and a sharper articulation of 50 years of expertise.
Version 7 in active development. A rebuilt architecture designed for the next decade of utility operations. The same mission. The next chapter.
