Established in 1986, Envision grew out of a rich tradition of developing innovative, comprehensive information management solutions uniquely designed to meet changing customer requirements. The company is owned by Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC), one of the five largest member-owned utilities in the United States. PEC, along with Envision's customers, has provided invaluable input into the development of product features and functionality required for utilities in a deregulating marketplace. In 1995, as the result of a customer task force decision, Envision announced its adoption of Oracle's Relational Database Management System (RDBMS®) and development tools for its Customer Information System (CIS) database platform and software tools. The company's upgrade of its previous UserBase CIS/Billing application has been in live production at PEC since February 1998. The conversion to a 100% Oracle-based system makes Envision's CIS/Billing software a leader in its class.
