NASHVILLE, TN — February 24, 2004 — Equinox Information Systems announced that Union Telephone Company, a 90-year-old independent telephone company based in Wyoming, has licensed ExtractCDR for the Nortel DMS MSC wireless switch.
John C. Malone, Central Office Supervisor for Union Telephone Company, stated: "ExtractCDR is an efficient and reliable software system. Prior to this purchase, our engineers had to manually review and edit call records to prepare them for processing in our billing system. Now, ExtractCDR automates the entire process by serving as a bridge between our Nortel wireless switch and custom billing system."
ExtractCDR enables carriers to mediate call detail and billing records effectively amid changing downstream systems. The software transforms raw switch data into usable formats for export into billing systems and popular spreadsheet and database applications.
David West, Equinox Executive Vice President, commented: "Union Telephone Company required a proven software system that could be used to manage the file format of their wireless call records. Based on the initial results, ExtractCDR not only improves the reliability of Union Telephone's billing processing, but also saves its engineering team time."
