Cavalier Telephone Selects Equinox Software to Streamline Mediation
and Billing Processes
Nashville, TN — June 7, 2005 -
Nashville-based Equinox Information Systems today announced
that Cavalier Telephone, a leading telecommunications provider
of integrated local, long-distance, Internet and data services
in the Mid-Atlantic region, has licensed both Collector Deluxe
and ExtractCDR. These applications with interface with a network
of Lucent 5ESS switches to allow Cavalier to streamline the
processing of their call detail records (CDRs) for billing and
customer service.
"After
a thorough evaluation, we elected to implement both Collector
Deluxe and ExtractCDR so we can quickly move CDRs off of our
switches to our billing system," noted David Vernon, Director
of Billing Operations for Cavalier Telephone. "These applications
play an important role in allowing Cavalier to bill our customers
in a timely and accurate manner."
Collector
Deluxe provides real-time delivery of CDRs off of most telephone
switches via X.25, TCP/IP, or file transfer protocol (FTP) communication
protocols. In addition to real-time CDR transmission, the system
also offers automated tools for data verification and alarming.
ExtractCDR transforms raw switch data and billing records into
usable formats. For Cavalier Telephone, the application will
convert records from a binary AMA format to a format that can
be processed by Cavalier's billing system.
"We
are delighted with Cavalier's decision to trust Equinox to provide
software applications critical to their daily operations,"
said David West, Equinox Executive Vice President. "This
decision demonstrates Cavalier's commitment to adopting the
latest technology to improve billing and customer service."
