POKA LAMBRO TELEPHONE COOPERATIVE UPGRADES TO COMMSOFT'S COMMVERGENCE BILLING SOFTWARE

ALBANY, NY - CommSoft, a leading provider of billing software to midsize communications companies, announced today that Poka Lambro Telephone Cooperative has signed a contract to purchase its CommVergence, CABs, Financial and Inventory software products. A long-time CommSoft customer, Poka Lambro will upgrade their software and renew a multi-year support agreement.

The upgrade to CommVergence will allow Poka Lambro to provide its customers with a single bill for their local, long distance and Internet services. Poka will improve customer service by accessing all customer care information from an integrated system that is tied to billing, rating and financials. Poka will also administer their capital credits (a system of profit sharing among cooperative members) from the same database.

“We have been using CommSoft’s products and services for the past ten years and seen their technologies evolve ahead of industry trends,” said David McEndree, general manager of Poka Lambro Telephone Cooperative. “CommVergence will give us the flexibility to add whatever future service offerings our customers demand¾and to put them on a single bill.”

“Poka Lambro has always been committed to utilizing advanced technologies to service its customers,” said Jim Jackson, chief operating officer of CommSoft. “This is a key factor in their continued success.”
