Atreus Systems Expands Industry-Leading
Service Library with Voice Over IP

Atreus xAuthority ™ Enables Service Providers to Reduce the Time and Cost
in Delivering IP Centrex to Business Customers

, May 3, 2004 - Atreus Systems™, a leading provider of software solutions for the rapid creation and delivery of new communications services, today announced support for Voice Over IP (VoIP). Atreus xAuthority™ shortens a service provider’s time-to-revenue for profitable IP Centrex and other VoIP offerings targeted to business and residential customers.

In a related announcement, Xspedius Communications, an Integrated Communications Provider serving small and medium-sized businesses, has selected Atreus xAuthority‘ Service Fulfillment to deliver VoIP, VPN (Virtual Private Network) PC Back Up and Antivirus services to their marketplace. The Atreus solution allows Xspedius to efficiently and rapidly activate IP services for its small and medium-sized business customers across its entire footprint - including 20 states, plus the District of Columbia, for a total of 55 markets.

The Atreus service fulfillment solution enables flow-through activation and provisioning of leading softswitch, application server and media gateway vendors in support of advanced VoIP services. Through self-service web portals, Atreus’ solution offers VoIP ordering, fulfillment and group management, dramatically reducing operating expenses and improving customer satisfaction. With Atreus, service providers maximize the revenue potential of VoIP by creating differentiated packages and up-selling to target customers.

" As profits from traditional voice continue to decline, service providers need to expand their portfolios with higher-margin, value-added services. Providers are faced with a myriad of operational challenges as they strive to deliver complex service bundles to their business and consumer markets,” explains Leif Hoglund, Director of OSS Research, RHK. "Atreus xAuthority helps service providers increase revenue per customer by extending their existing systems to automate the creation and provisioning of VoIP and other advanced data and application services.”
