NASHVILLE, TN — September 20, 2002 — Nashville-based Equinox Information Systems today announced that Zipcom, an independent telecom serving the United Kingdom, has licensed Collector Deluxe to interface with their Nortel DMS 100 switch. Collector Deluxe provides real-time delivery of call detail records (CDRs) from telephone switches to a carrier's local area network (LAN). The software was successfully installed within six weeks of purchase.

"After evaluating several mediation systems, we concluded that Collector Deluxe would be the optimal choice given the software's advanced features and price point," stated Fred Hills, Head of Business Support for Zipcom. "As a relatively inexpensive software system, Collector Deluxe is a secure, reliable solution to efficiently process CDRs and billing records."

"This software purchase represents an exciting step in initiating a strong customer relationship with Zipcom," said Bert Croezen, responsible for international business development for Equinox. "Collector Deluxe will be an asset to Zipcom as they grow throughout the United Kingdom."
