Connexn's CRA Enhances AMS' OSS Solutions by Lowering

Operational Costs and Increasing Bottom-Line Profits

for Communications Service Providers

Connexn Technologies, the industry leader in technology-based Cost and Revenue Assurance (CRA) solutions, today announced that American Management Systems, Incorporated (AMS), a global business and IT consulting firm, will offer Connexn's proven CRA solutions as part of its complete operations support systems (OSS) offering to communications service providers.

Connexn's CRA solutions bring an added component to AMS' customers that will increase their operational efficiencies, revenues and service margins by reducing cost and revenue leakage across the enterprise.

AMS' Communications, Media and Entertainment (CME) practice provides integrated solutions to address some of the most critical issues facing communications service providers today -- faster and more accurate service provisioning, accurate and timely billing, increased customer loyalty/retention and responsive customer service and account management.

With today's announcement, AMS' CME practice will now offer its customers Connexn's blend of technology, methodology and domain expertise that tackles cost and revenue leakage at its source by restoring data integrity within the communications service provider (CSP) enterprise. Connexn's holistic Detect, Correct, Ensure(TM) approach to CRA leverages automation to identify, prioritize and rectify errors in operational and usage data that result in revenue loss and unnecessary costs, and prevent the introduction of data errors on a go-forward basis.

"Connexn offers one of the most comprehensive and complementary cost and revenue assurance solutions available in the marketplace," said Robert Kamba, AMS vice president of Communications, Media and Entertainment. "Connexn's approach provides a mechanism to achieve return on investment quickly, while addressing the root cause of cost and revenue leakage.
