Ann Arbor, MI (PRWEB) May 17, 2004 -- Service Level Corporation (SLC) announces the completed delivery of the Ratchet Rating System at LecStar Telecom, Inc., an Atlanta-based telecommunications company and wholly owned subsidiary of Fonix® Corporation (OTC BB: FNIX). With a 15-year license to Ratchet, LecStar uses the Ratchet application to process call records before putting them into its billing application.
Ratchets services reduce LecStars operational costs while increasing customer satisfaction. Rating problems had frustrated customers and increased customer care staff costs," says Carl Wright, SLC President. We look forward to working with LecStar to ensure that its customers concerns about billing are eliminated in the future."
Ratchet Rating System delivers a double-barreled solution of rules-based rating with built-in data mediation facilities. Rules-based rating delivers flexible pricing and rating services to speed business change and rate plan development. Built-in data mediation adapts the rating processes to input and output formats from binary to AMA to XML without programming. Costs for interfacing to other systems disappear.
Ratchet Rating System provides a much-needed service in billing applications," says Matt Sines, Vice President of Operations at LecStar Telecom. By front-ending our billing system with Ratchet, we were able to solve a rating problem and provide improved service to our customers. We expect to use Ratchet to integrate new sources of call data currently unsupported by our billing system."
The Ratchet solution has been successfully installed without disruption to LecStars billing schedule. In addition, rating tariff updates are automatically integrated into the Ratchet solution to reduce on-going data maintenance.
