New AI capabilities in the Oracle Utilities Customer Platform help call centers better manage volume and quickly deliver smart, personalized assistance

PHOENIX
, May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Innovate UtilityCX — Today, Oracle announced new AI-powered call summarization and tagging capabilities in the Oracle Utilities Customer Platform, bringing intelligent automation to utility call centers. By helping reduce manual work, these innovations are expected to empower agents to focus on delivering fast issue resolution, personalized service, and real human connection at scale. Oracle is working to help utilities streamline call center operations, lower operating costs, and elevate the customer experience for millions of people around the world. The new AI capabilities are planned to be available at no additional cost to utilities using Oracle Utilities Customer Cloud Service.

Gas South is leading the way in exploring with Oracle how to deploy AI capabilities best. “At Gas South, we are always looking for new ways to leverage data and automation to deliver better service, improve efficiency, and support our employees,” said Greg Dunavant, vice president of customer operations at Gas South. “We are excited to integrate new AI capabilities, with a focus on enhancing the customer experience, empowering our agents, and driving continuous improvement across our organization.” Gas South serves nearly half a million customers across 14 states.

Modernizing customer-agent experiences
The AI capabilities in Oracle’s customer platform help utilities address today’s most pressing call center challenges, including long wait times, inconsistent customer experiences, and tedious, inaccurate data capture. Soon, utilities will be empowered to benefit from built-in listening tools that aid in customer interactions to allow agents to focus on the conversation versus worrying about documentation. This will enable agents to provide faster, more proactive service by better anticipating customer needs before they arise and foreseeing potential issues or opportunities. By lowering total average handle time, the new features also are expected to help support utilities’ average speed of answer (ASA) to help meet address requirements.

Many utilities struggle with data limitations that make it hard to understand what is driving call volume and inquiry types. Typically, this is determined by the customers’ selections made in the interactive voice response (IVR) or based on the agents’ post-call categorization. The new AI capabilities are being developed to add call tags for each call to note billing issues, service interruptions, and other inquiries unique to each call. Utilities will have the ability to choose their own set of categories, make changes any time, and track data such as seasonal or temporary changes in call volume to understand the impact and underlying cause.

The new AI capabilities in the Oracle Customer Platform are also planned to support:

• Industry jargon recognition: The AI recognizes commonly used industry and corporate jargon, as well as utility-specific business language, to help generate more accurate, contextually relevant call summaries.

• Personally Identifiable Information (PII) protection: The AI assists in automatically removing PII from call summaries to help protect customer privacy and address compliance with utility policies. Agents can still modify summaries as appropriate.

• Obscenity and noise filtering: The AI automatically filters out background noise and irrelevant language so that call summaries reflect clear, professional conversations between agents and customers.

“Utility call centers are under constant pressure to handle heavy call volume and provide the fast, accurate service and experiences customers expect, but they have lacked the real-time tools required to be successful,” said James Steadman, global head of customer product strategy, Oracle Utilities. “These new AI features are planned to empower agents with essential capabilities and deep insights to understand and proactively address customer issues faster than ever. AI can be a game changer for customer operations. If we can help save 20-30% of spending on customer operations annually (estimated at $124 billion per year industry-wide), that could result in up to $37 billion in savings across the industry.” 

In addition to natively embedding AI in SaaS offerings, on-premises customers can also benefit by accessing these innovations via a rich set of APIs. Next, Oracle plans to equip agents with AI-generated customer snapshots before calls start, helping speed resolution and improve the customer connection. In addition, Oracle plans to add full call transcripts to automatically generate comprehensive summaries for agents, to reduce manual processes and help improve call note accuracy. This can enable call center leaders to analyze trends and review call information for agent training and quality assurance. Oracle is building on these new AI capabilities with even more Customer Platform innovations designed to help streamline utility work, reduce utility operating costs, and elevate utility customer service. 

To see these AI capabilities in action, visit Oracle at Innovate UtilityCX at Booth #1205 or learn more by visiting Oracle.com/utilities or LinkedIn.

Class of 2025 Graduates, Including 11 Doctoral Students and Several Award Winners, Will be Recognized during Two Days of Events at the Gaylord National Resort

CHARLES TOWN, W.Va.
, May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — American Public University System (APUS), which offers online degree and certificate programs through American Military University (AMU) and American Public University (APU), will celebrate some 18,100 graduates from all 50 states and several countries at one of its largest-ever commencement events on May 9-10. The ceremonies will be live streamed here for those who cannot attend in-person at the Gaylord National Resort in National Harbor, Md.

Click here for more information on the two-day celebration.

The Class of 2025 – one of the largest graduating classes ever – includes 11 doctoral degree recipients, over 4,600 master’s degree recipients, 9,600 bachelor’s degree recipients, and 3,900 associate degree recipients. Some exciting facts about the 29^th annual commencement:

• The oldest graduate is 81 years old; the youngest one is 17.
• 10%, or almost 2,000 graduates, are under 25 years old; nearly 3% are 55 or older.
• There are over 1,155 first-generation students (self-reported, based on commencement attendees).
• Over 4,200 graduates are earning their second AMU or APU degrees or certificates.
• 66% of graduates are active-duty military, National Guard or Reservist; over 19% are veterans; 4% are military spouses or dependents; almost 11% are non-military.

At commencement, inspiring keynote speakers, including two graduating students, will share powerful success stories, invaluable advice, and motivating words.

“While my story is my own, I am certain it sounds similar to many others: distractions, stress, and life, all competing for our time and making us choose what is really important in our lives,” stated Seth Casey, an AMU student speaker who earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Management, in prepared remarks. “This is what I found to be special about my journey with the American Military University: seeing just how many other people are in the same boat, going through the same struggles, encouraging each other to continue on, finishing what we set out to do, and building our legacies.”

“As we reflect on how far we’ve come, let’s take a moment to honor ourselves and each other for the perseverance and strength we’ve shown,” said Kristina-Amy Jean-Mehu, an APU student speaker who earned her Master’s Degree in Public Health, in prepared remarks. “We didn’t just earn degrees; we learned to balance life’s challenges and rise stronger with each one. As we move forward, let’s carry these lessons of resilience and hope, using our knowledge to make a positive impact and face whatever lies ahead.”

Keynote speakers include U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Lori E. Reynolds (retired), who has commanded Marines at every rank over the course of her distinguished, 35-year career, including as a General Officer and as commander of the Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command.

“In a world that is swirling with bad information, guard your thoughts. Be careful with your words. Prove through your actions every day the kind of leader or teammate you want to be. Listen to understand and not to respond. Focus on those habits that truly represent the character you wish to have,” stated Lt. Gen. Reynolds, APUS Board of Trustees Vice Chair, in prepared remarks. “…Our country needs you today. It needs your energy, your wisdom, your leadership and your character.”

Other speakers encouraged graduates to be proud of their accomplishments.

“The odds of you being here today, just as you are, are close to zero. The odds of this group, sitting in this room together, are nearly a cosmic accident. So, what do we do with this miracle? We make the most of it,” stated APUS President Nuno Fernandes in prepared remarks. “We take care of ourselves. We support each other. We stay grounded in our values. And we lead with courage and compassion.”

“You’ve earned your degrees at a time when some voices in the media and public discourse question higher education’s value. Let me be clear: education has never been more important than it is today,” stated Dr. Mary Papazian, an APUS Board of Trustees member, in prepared remarks. “In an era of misinformation, technological disruption, and complex global challenges, your educational foundation provides the critical thinking, ethical framework, and specialized knowledge essential for navigating uncertainty. Your degree doesn’t simply change your trajectory; it positions you to transform countless lives.”

Award Winners
During the commencement celebration, the University will also recognize outstanding students, faculty, and alumni who have made remarkable contributions to the University community.

“We proudly recognize those who have made a lasting impact and helped shape our University into what it is today,” said APUS Provost Dr. Elizabeth Johnson. “We celebrate their noteworthy accomplishments, hard work, perseverance, and dedication to excellence.”
