Meet Alexandria: Smartflex AI for Intelligent Utility Operations

Alexandria brings embedded, contextual AI into Smartflex, helping utilities move from fragmented data and manual processes to intelligent, governed, and actionable operations. 

Generic AI won’t transform utility operations

Utilities manage complex operations across customer service, billing, payments, collections, meter data, field work, and digital channels. But when data lives in disconnected systems, AI becomes just another layer of fragmentation.

Alexandria brings AI into the core of Smartflex

Alexandria is the AI Agents Engine of Smartflex. It is designed to work inside utility processes, using operational context, governed data access, configurable workflows, and authorized actions to help teams analyze, decide, and execute faster.

Utilities relying on legacy CIS platforms face rising costs, rigid architectures, and slow innovation. Learn why modern CIS solutions are becoming the strategic choice for growth.
Open's 2025 Highlights
today's customers don't just prefer digital, they demand it. Their expectations, shaped by leading consumer brands, set a high bar for utilities.
Utilities are under pressure from every angle with tighter margins, stricter regulation, and competition, all while customers demand immediate resolution and seamless digital experiences. It’s no surprise that AI has become a strategic priority in almost every boardroom. However, a different reality often emerges: AI stuck in pilots, innovation labs, or isolated chatbots that never integrate into the core of day-to-day operations. Insights are generated, dashboards are built, but billing errors still occur, collections still linger, and field crews still respond to avoidable visits.
Unpaid utility bills and financial challenges are prompting utility companies to enhance their debt collection processes, as outdated approaches are no longer effective or empathetic. Utilities need automation, AI, and customer segmentation to improve collections. Through smart segmentation, automated plans, and proactive outreach, Smartflex helps utilities recover debt while maintaining customer relationships and reducing reliance on disconnection.
See how utilities can deliver AI wins now while modernizing CIS in parallel. Our Dual Innovation roadmap maps both paths low risk, faster value with Open Smartflex.
