Utilities
Modernize your CIS and metering systems without breaking them.
Hypercubic moves utilities from COBOL to cloud in quarters — with line-level proofs every billing, meter-reading, and outage-dispatch path behaves identically, continuously audit-ready documentation for NERC CIP and PUC oversight, and the expertise of your senior engineers captured before they retire.

| Challenge | Solution |
|---|---|
Decades of CIS and rate-case logic lives in a handful of senior engineers Customer information systems carry decades of rate schedules, tariff logic, and billing edge cases built over COBOL mainframes. A few senior engineers know how it really works. They're retiring. | HyperTwin HyperTwin observes how your senior CIS and billing engineers actually work — tariff application, bill calculation, estimation and reconciliation — and turns each session into a queryable expert model. |
Rate cases and NERC audits require documentation of legacy logic no one wrote Rate-case filings with the PUC, NERC CIP audits, and PSC inquiries demand traceable documentation of every tariff, calculation, and operational control — today reconstructed under deadline. | HyperDocs HyperDocs continuously generates audit-ready documentation of every billing calculation, meter-reading pipeline, and operational data flow — with full traceability to source COBOL. Rate-case prep and audit response move from weeks to hours. |
A CIS modernization error shows up on customer bills statewide CIS replatforms are catastrophic when they fail — mass bill errors, regulator scrutiny, investor calls. Provable equivalence on every rate and tariff calculation is the bar. | HyperLoop HyperLoop produces line-level correctness proofs that every tariff, bill calculation, and meter-to-cash path in the modernized code behaves identically to the original — so you migrate without bill errors or PUC complaints. |
Nightly billing runs and outage dispatch depend on shrinking operator expertise End-of-cycle billing runs, meter-data processing, and outage-dispatch batch jobs run on z/OS schedules operated by senior engineers whose knowledge is not being replaced. | Hopper Hopper works as an AI agent on z/OS — navigating ISPF, submitting JCL, monitoring JES, and triaging incidents with SMF and RACF data. Nightly failures get resolved before they affect a billing cycle or outage response. |

Measurable Impact
Faster CIS modernization discovery
Utilities capture the full expertise of retiring grid operations and billing engineers before institutional knowledge leaves the organization permanently.
Faster CIS engineer onboarding
Automated documentation eliminates the multi-year reverse engineering phase that stalls CIS replacements, OMS migrations, and smart grid integration programs.
Faster rate-case and audit impact analysis
Accurate extraction of rate logic, outage management rules, and MDM specifications prevents the costly migration failures and billing discrepancies that derail utility modernization programs.
Common Questions
How does Hypercubic handle the regulatory requirements of utilities?
Our platform generates documentation that maps directly to regulatory requirements. When regulators or auditors need to understand how rates are calculated or how compliance rules are implemented, the answers are immediately accessible and fully traceable to source code.
Can this work with our SCADA and OT systems?
Hypercubic works with the code and configuration that defines your SCADA and OT systems. We operate at the code layer, not the operational layer, ensuring zero risk to your grid operations or critical infrastructure.
How does this support smart grid modernization?
Smart grid initiatives require a complete understanding of existing systems before new technology can be integrated. Hypercubic provides that understanding—documenting every calculation, integration, and business rule that your modernization team needs to know.
What about systems from acquired utilities?
Utility mergers often result in running multiple legacy systems in parallel. Hypercubic can rapidly analyze acquired systems, document their logic, and identify opportunities for consolidation—accelerating integration timelines.
