Clevest Elected To MultiSpeak Advisory Board

Clevest Solutions Inc. was recently elected to the MultiSpeak Advisory Board as a Vendor Member and will be represented by Jeremy Westbrook, Technical Services Lead. Clevest has a deep working relationship with MultiSpeak that dates back to 2008 and, along with another vendor Milsoft, was the first company to be certified under MultiSpeak 4 in 2009.

Clevest is a recognized thought leader in the Mobile Workforce Management space and with staff who have well over 10 years of experience in this field. Westbrook brings a deep knowledge of utility business processes, systems and field force management needs to the MultiSpeak Board. Prior to joining Clevest, Jeremy implemented and maintained work process tracking systems at one of North America's leading Meter Deployment vendors.

"We feel that MultiSpeak is an important innovation initiative for our industry and deserves access to our best talent," says Thomas Ligocki, President of Clevest Solutions Inc. "Jeremy will help steer the technical direction of the initiative to the benefit of the hundreds of utilities that have subscribed to the MultiSpeak model of faster, more flexible and reliable interfaces."

A large part of Jeremy's role at Clevest has been standardizing Clevest's interfaces with a number of utility-focused enterprise systems. As a leader in the Mobile Workforce Management and Smart Grid Mobile field operations industry, Clevest is known for its deep vendor partnerships both with utility enterprise systems and Smart Grid technology companies. Clevest's commitment to MultiSpeak is part of a larger commitment to open interfaces with other vendors.

"Jeremy Westbrook has a rare combination of technical skills matched with business acumen," says Susan Huether, Director of Professional Services at Clevest. "The MultiSpeak initiative is important to us because it lets us build strong relationships with other vendors, which benefits our customers and the industry as a whole."
