Press Release iTelGroup to Speed Enhanced Telephony Services to Market with LignUp's FastLign
iTelGroup Joins FastLign Partnership to Reduce Deployment Time, Implementation and Operating Costs San Jose, Calif. – March 14, 2006. LignUp Corporation, a leading provider of converged communications solutions, today announced that iTelGroup will provide managed services as an operator of the LignUp FastLign platform and that VoiceEra, the VoIP service provider wing of professional services firm Invisatech, will be their first joint FastLign customer. The two companies will showcase an iTelGroup solution available to FastLign service provider customers this week at the Spring VON 2006 show in San Jose, March 14th to 17th, in the LignUp booth, #1037. FastLign is an industry alliance founded by Level 3, LignUp, NexTone and other industry leaders to accelerate deployment of converged communications services. FastLign allows service providers to quickly and cost-effectively build IP telephony services on a fully interoperable, ready-made reference architecture managed and supported by FastLign operator and network partners. Because customers license components within the FastLign reference architecture, they have more control over these assets to develop service solutions meeting specific customer needs. "FastLign can reduce deployment timetables and operating costs for providers by delivering the advantages of a managed and supported wholesale service," said Jeff Meacham, vice president of engineering at iTelGroup. "We are pleased to join with LignUp and the FastLign Alliance to help next generation service providers like Voice Era deliver communications services that will define how businesses of the future communicate." iTelGroup's suite of hosted telephony offerings allows businesses to focus on their core competencies and revenue generation at extremely affordable pricing points. The LignUp Communications Platform provides flexible development capabilities for service providers customizing hosted applications, including FastLign-powered services. As services, these hosted applications allow these businesses to stay ahead of services commoditization, ensuring long-term delivery of competitive, high-margin solutions. "Wholesale managed services tend to offer 'vanilla' services that can’t differentiate themselves in the end marketplace," said Kevin Nethercott, founder, president and COO at LignUp Corporation. "LignUp is pleased to team with iTelGroup and our other FastLign partners to deliver a cost-effective managed services platform and the development flexibility service providers need to stay ahead of the competition and sustain their businesses far into the future.” For more information on FastLign, please visit www.fastlign.com .
