BUSINESS INFORMATION EXCHANGE SERVICE FOR THE TELECOM INDUSTRY
Independent Research Firm Recognizes iXLink as Innovative Solution that is Facilitating Global Commerce Between Service Providers
VIENNA, Va.—October 27, 2008— iXLink, a business unit of Telarix, Inc., today announced that Stratecast, a division of Frost & Sullivan, has named iXLink as an innovative solution that is enabling communication service providers to automate business processes as well as efficiently access and share business documents among their trading partners.
In the report, “Information Data Exchange – An Old OSS BSS Problem with New Business Needs,” Stratecast notes globalization is driving carriers to provide new services, often through complex global partnerships with other service providers. As a result, the traditional manual processes and legacy systems used to manage and utilize this business information are now struggling to meet today’s dynamic business requirements and are costing the telecom industry billions annually.
As an open community of telecom carriers, the iXLink business information exchange service enables carriers to efficiently send/receive business information, reducing the costs and complexities associated with interconnection including the purchase and sales processes; international dial code management; billing; invoice validation; and settlement. iXLink’s flexible design supports fixed, mobile and VoIP service providers of any size, location or technical sophistication; is easy to implement; and provides immediate results. By electronically delivering business data and documents through a common information exchange service, carriers can streamline their interconnection management processes as well as reduce the complexity and administrative costs surrounding daily interconnect transactions.
"iXLink offers the telecom industry a new approach to solving one of their most costly business problems,” said Karl Whitelock, Senior Consulting Analyst at Stratecast, a division of Frost & Sullivan. “By electronically exchanging business data and documents in real-time, carriers are able to streamline their interconnection management processes as well as reduce the complexity and administrative costs surrounding daily interconnect transactions.”
“iXLink is fundamentally changing the way carriers conduct business with one another by enabling the real-time exchange of business information,” said Don Lynch, CEO of Telarix. “By integrating these disparate business systems and facilitating the exchange of business information, carriers are reducing costs and improving performance while strengthening their regulatory and audit compliance capabilities.”
