CapRock Communications

Southwestern ICP Goes With Leading Infrastructure Solution

to Streamline Provisioning Times

CapRock Communications Corp. (Nasdaq:CPRK) has incorporated MetaSolv Software Inc.'s (Nasdaq:MSLV) Telecom Business Solution(TM) (TBS(TM)) software to enhance its Operations Support System (OSS), enabling the Dallas-based integrated communications provider (ICP) to reduce the time needed to provision new services.

MetaSolv's order management and service fulfillment solution enables next-generation communications providers to better manage and deploy their bundled service offerings. MetaSolv's TBS software is composed of subsystems supporting order management, network inventory and design, trouble resolution, service provisioning and gateway management. TBS software will enable CapRock to improve provisioning times, manage network inventory, track service orders, and ensure accuracy of information across an organization by automating a number of management business functions. The TBS solution will provide the infrastructure for full life-cycle integration of the order flow process and is a strategic component of CapRock's OSS architecture.

"MetaSolv's TBS solution will reduce provisioning timeframes as well as help establish consistent interfaces with our trading partners," said CapRock president and COO Leo J. Cyr. "TBS software will also enhance the efficient management of CapRock's diverse and growing fiber, voice and data networks while enabling us to offer superior customer care. We will leverage this capability as we continue to expand our systems architecture to support our anticipated growth."

"Streamlining the provisioning process for both voice and data requires a comprehensive back-office system that is scalable for a growing ICP," said Jim Janicki, president and chief executive officer at MetaSolv. "An integrated service fulfillment infrastructure will enable CapRock to offer better customer support and improve provisioning times."
