SimCall
Celebrates
10 Years of Revenue & Service Assurance at the Switch
Unlike
call generation systems or manual test calling, SimCall quickly pinpoints
all problems in the network’s switches offline – the only such solution
for 10 years this month
Wayne,
N.J., November 1, 2002 – Especially
because the telecom industry has been hit so hard financially this past
year, executives are increasingly turning to revenue and service assurance
measures to get the most out of their existing network assets.
There are many ways revenues can slip through the cracks.
Specializing in revenue and service assurance at the switch, OSS and
billing vendor ATS’ flagship solution, SimCall,
has found large amounts of such leaking revenues – to the tune of
approximately $1 billion during its 10 years in existence.
This
month ATS celebrates SimCall’s 10th anniversary with “instant
discounts.” Often a sales
cycle can take months from a customer’s expression of interest to
completion of a sale. With its
“instant discount” program, ATS is offering discounts to those new
SimCall customers who sign up for SimCall between now and the end of the
year.
“SimCall
has been our ‘bread and butter’ since day one and our SimCall clients
have always been very pleased with its value,” says Randall Guthrie,
ATS’ president. “Now we
want to make it more widely available at a time when the telecom industry
can really use it. In that
regard we’ve recently teamed up with NECA Services to offer SimCall to
smaller customers than we’ve traditionally served.
Now, we want to celebrate SimCall’s 10th with discounts
to make it available to everyone else who can benefit.”
About
SimCall:
SimCall quickly and completely tests local switches for switch translations
errors. Unlike call generation systems and manual testing that place actual
calls on a network, SimCall works “offline” to test switch
translations (switch programming) that govern the routing and charging of
all calls. Because testing is
done offline, there is no burden on the network and fewer ancillary costs. Because the process is automated, the entire switch can be tested in minutes once
the databases and process are put in place. Using SimCall’s preset
and user-defined output reports, telecom companies can increase billing
accuracy, avoid serious revenue losses and reduce customer churn.
