PEOPLES TELEPHONE SELECTS COMMSOFT'S INTERFACE ENGINE

ALBANY, NY - CommSoft, a leading provider of billing software to midsize communications companies, announced today that Peoples Telephone Cooperative has selected CommSoft's Interface Engine (CIE) for digital switch provisioning and record auditing. Peoples will use CIE to automate processes, eliminate redundancies, and recover charges that are not billed due to discrepancies with the switch.

By automating telephone account activations and feature changes, Peoples will be able to offer quicker, more efficient customer service that will also result in quicker revenue recognition. The CIE solution will shrink overhead costs by reducing the need for switch technicians to manually activate feature changes. CIE will also find and report unbilled charges due to discrepancies between the switch and billing resulting in increased revenue assurance.

"CommSoft's Interface Engine will allow us to reach a level of service and accuracy that is simply not attainable through manual order processing and provisioning," said Lance White, Peoples' MIS director. "This investment will benefit our operation on many levels from reducing revenue leaks to increasing customer service."

"We are pleased to provide Peoples Telephone with a sophisticated technology solution that will simplify their operations through process automation," said Jim Jackson, CommSoft's chief operating officer.
