Intelis Announces Transaction oriented Pricing for its Enhanced Operator services platform
INTELIS IS NOW OFFERING NEW CUSTOMERS THE OPTION OF IMPLEMENTING NEXT GENERATION TOLL AND ASSIST SOLUTIONS WITH MINIMAL CAPITAL EXPENDITURE.
NORCROSS Georgia, April 14, 2004 – Intelis Inc., a leading provider of Toll and Assist Operator Services platforms and solutions to RBOC’s, ILEC’s, CLEC’s and IXC’s, today announces a new transaction-based “pay as grow” pricing program.
The Intelis Enhanced Operator Services (EOS) platform is utilized by many telecom service providers offering subscribers and customers a variety of revenue generating applications including; Directory Assistance, Local and Long Distance (O+ / O-) Operator Assisted, Answering Service, Find Me, Pre and Post Paid Calling Card and Caller ReDirect.
“It is no secret that the industry is migrating from legacy TDM networks to next generation IP based networks”, said John Marshall, President and CEO of Intelis. “To date, large platform manufacturers have focused solely on next generation network elements and have ignored the needs of Toll and Assist Operator Services Providers. Our customers truly want an alternative to high-maintenance legacy TDM platforms, and the Intelis EOS solution will allow them to enjoy the benefits of a next-generation platform. These benefits include the potential to grow revenues, improve labor efficiencies and reduce operational expenses. However, the significant capital required to modernize has proved prohibitive for many. Therefore they have no alternative but to continue to pay high annual maintenance fees, forced software upgrades and reoccurring right to use (RTU) fees”, added Marshall.
The Intelis EOS platform, which integrates with a variety of CLASS4/5 switching elements, was designed as a feature rich and cost effective replacement to legacy platforms from traditional switching vendors. The payment program announced today gives service providers the ability to deploy Intelis’ next-generation EOS platform today with minimal up front costs. “We are hearing the industry loud and clear,” said George Georgiou, Vice President, Sales and Marketing for Intelis. “This program gives service providers the ability to serve subscribers and aggregators in a manner that makes financial sense given the need to control expenses, and preserve existing capital. Current legacy platforms have become a heavy financial burden to service providers, alternatively the Intelis EOS uses the most current technologies thereby lowering the total cost of ownership significantly.
This transactional-based pricing model is a partnership program in the truest sense. Our priority is to ensure our customers success, then and only then do we share in common financial gain”.
