Rochester, NY, August 19, 2021. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE. InvoiceCloud, an EngageSmart solution for online bill payment services, today announced a strategic partnership with ESC Partners (ESC) to bring digital payment solutions to municipal tax collection and utility services. The partnership leverages InvoiceCloud’s cloud-based payment and engagement solutions with ESC’s hands-on integration, implementation, support, and services to help municipal and public service organizations streamline operational efficiency, improve customer engagement, and increase city and utility revenue.

ESC Partners, a member of the Oracle Partner network, was recently selected by the City of Dothan, Alabama for a $12M digital transformation initiative, which incorporates the integration of streamlined digital services including simplified digital permit processing, and improved employee self-services. A key feature of the project is the implementation of new online payment and account management solutions from InvoiceCloud.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with ESC Partners,” said Invoice Cloud President Tom Griffin. “This is an important recognition for our SaaS technology platform, which is now being used by more than 1,700 government entities.

The ESC Partners and InvoiceCloud partnership will include integration with ESC’s suite of digital solutions, including Utiliprise, to bring online bill pay and management services contributing to added benefit, operational efficiencies, and improved customer experience to ESC customers in public utilities and municipal operations.
