Eftia Included in Industry Roundup of Leading
OSS Products (June 5th, 2002 Ottawa, Canada) Eftia, a leading provider of operational support systems (OSS) solutions for wireless and wireline service providers, today announced it has been included in the 2002 OSS Service Delivery Report published by Telestrategies, Inc. In examining Eftia's product, the report rates MasterScribe highly for "strong breadth and depth of functionality that is pre-integrated but also modular. The modules, such as the service order system, can be geared to solve specific operational problems, or can be delivered as a package. Users have many options by which they can custom configure and continually refine the usability of the application. The wealth of data the system captures about the network and the business can provide a strong basis for process analysis and optimization." Joe McKinnon, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Products at Eftia, commented that "Telestrategies is a leading publisher of industry reports, premiere OSS conferences and trade magazines focused on the OSS and billing industries. They are known for their resources, knowledge and expertise to objectively provide an assessment of each OSS vendor." The report includes an application description, markets served and supported services, functionality, pricing, licensing and cost for each product reviewed. Eftia conducted an in-depth product presentation for the author of the report to provide a detailed demonstration and overview of their suite of products. The report notes that "Eftia's inclusion of an interconnect option shows that the suite is supply-chain aware. The way it is designed to separate ordering/business functions from network details makes the application very useful for fostering communication and synchronization among customer-facing and network-facing organizations for service creation". "We have always been confident that we would rise to the top of our industry," says, Eftia CEO and President, Mr. Stephen Parker. "Our continuous market feedback process has assured that our next generation service management products meet the rapidly changing face of the OSS industry and has lead us to the position of providing the broadest, most functionally rich product, with the best value for our customers, in OSS today. 2002 OSS Service Delivery report is available for purchase directly from Telestrategies, Inc. and can be found online at www.telestrategies.com About Eftia Master.Scribe is an integrated suite of OSS solutions that enables
