(NASHVILLE, TN) December 17, 2018—Business assurance solutions leader Equinox Information Systems is pleased that independent cooperative Blue Valley Tele-Communications has chosen them as their fraud management solution (FMS) provider. As the most installed FMS in the U.S., Protector is widely recognized as the industry’s most reliable and affordable system for combatting telecommunications fraud. Earlier this year, Blue Valley Tele-Communications embarked on a relationship with Equinox by deploying the Protector system to monitor their Metaswitch traffic. As part of the project, Blue Valley Tele-Communications extended the system licensing to include automatic blocking at the switch to further safeguard their customers and network.
“Equinox has a reputation as a reliable partner in the telecommunications industry,” explained John Smith, COO at Blue Valley Tele-Communications. “The protection offered by their fraud management system coupled with our personal experience with the Equinox team were key factors in choosing them as our vendor on this project.”
Currently processing hundreds of millions of call records per day, Protector provides real-time fraud protection for companies around the world. The automated FMS instantly notifies analysts when suspicious activity occurs—with higher risk incidents triggering more frequent, escalated alerts—and offers automatic blocking / shut down capabilities when warranted. The FMS also integrates browser-based case management tools to speed investigation and incident closure from any location. Saving carriers hundreds of millions of dollars in fraud losses annually, Protector’s reputation is well earned.
“With over three decades of market-proven results behind Protector, we are confident in its abilities to deliver both immediate and year-over-year results for Blue Valley,” stated Equinox EVP David West. “We are thrilled to welcome Blue Valley Tele-Communications to the Equinox community and look forward to serving their FMS needs for many years. It was especially great to have their team participate in the 2018 Protector User Group earlier this year in Nashville just as the project got rolling!”
