COMMSOFT ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF COMMNEXTION SUITE OF PRODUCTS
The next generation in web-based customer self-care and provisioning for telecom companies

ALBANY, NY - March 31, 2006 - CommSoft, a leading provider of billing and OSS software announced today that they have released CommNextion, a new suite of enhanced web solutions to the telecom market. This web based customer service framework offers control and process management tools to help telecom companies market services in new and efficient ways utilizing the Internet. CommNextion’s flexible architecture allows it to integrate with any independent peripheral system including switches or BSS/OSS solutions.

CommNextion boosts customer satisfaction levels as well as increases internal operational efficiencies by providing subscribers with the ability to shop on-line, select add-on services, pay bills, report troubles, and view service history. CommNextion also takes the next step and automates the provisioning of these services.

“We wanted to provide our customers with the most powerful next generation tools we could to reduce churn, simplify internal process, and increase accuracy. We feel CommNextion does just that.” Said Gary Martini, CommSoft’s VP of Sales and Marketing. “Also, by offering the ability to pick and choose exactly what components of this suite are important to them, each provider can really tailor this solution to compliment their internal customer service strategy.”

The CommNextion framework consists of five customer service focused modules. These offerings can be implemented on a standalone basis, or in tandem, increasing features and accessibility for their customers. The framework can be implemented with any switch, billing system or existing PBX, allowing providers rapid start up and flexibility to implement the entire framework or just components most desired.
