ALBANY- CommSoft, a leading provider of activation, billing & OSS

the former Connexn Technologies’ service activation and automation
platform. CommSoft acquired The Connexn (TC) business, which is based
in Denver, CO, from RLEC Holdings, Inc. Financial terms of the acquisition
were not disclosed. Azure Solutions Inc., a leading revenue assurance

across its voice, video, data and wireless offerings. The Connexn (TC)
technology allows CommSoft to assist communication providers in improving
their operating margins by automating mission critical business processes.

share, serve the increasingly complex activation and billing needs of
cable, mobile and wireline providers, and to further extend its single-source
solution approach.
“The Connexn (TC) platform has proven itself as superior technology
in serving the needs of service providers of all sizes,” said Larry
Davis’ CommSoft’s president and CEO. “The customers
we spoke to were extremely positive about the functionality and productivity
gains made using this technology and we are very pleased to acquire this
platform.”

Tier I, II and III segments. CommSoft’s customer list now includes
industry leaders such as Citizens Communications, NTELOS, Fairpoint Communications,
CT Communications, Cavalier Telephone, Madison River Communications, and
many others.

The Connexn (TC),” said Duane Breeden, vice president of information
technology at NTELOS. “The platform is a vital interfacing component
