BOULDER, Colo., Jan. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- SCC Communications Corp.
(Nasdaq: SCCX) reported that all systems in its nationwide network performed
flawlessly during the turn of the century, processing over 65,000 9-1-1 data
requests during the critical time periods before and after midnight across the
U.S.  SCC manages the 9-1-1 records of more than 83 million telephone
subscribers across the U.S. and is the largest provider of 9-1-1 support
systems in the world.
    SCC's network consists of twenty plus database nodes interconnected by a
network of hundreds of circuits provided by multiple telecommunications
carriers.
    In the months leading up to New Year's Eve, SCC performed hundreds of
tests to assure all systems were prepared for Y2K. SCC's fail-safe, fault
tolerant network operates twenty-four hours, seven days a week supporting more
than 2500 public safety agencies. These services are critical to the
successful operation of 9-1-1 systems.
    SCC used industry and partner contacts to monitor the global progress and
impacts of Y2K.  Personnel were placed at critical remote locations for
on-site monitoring.  "We were fully staffed through out the night to cover any
contingency and to support our clients across the U.S., said Stephen Meer,
SCC's chief technology officer.  "The good news is that through each Time
Zone's New Year our systems performed exactly as planned."
    From its headquarters in Boulder and satellite centers throughout the
country, SCC provides 9-1-1 Operations Support Systems(SM) to wireline and
wireless telephone carriers.  These systems assure that 9-1-1 caller
information is accurate and gets to the correct emergency call center when a

technology systems and software products for the public safety community.
