NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Feb. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at the annual CompTel
2000 trade show for telecommunications professionals in Long Beach, Calif.,
SM&A Corporation (Nasdaq: WINS) introduced BillTamer(TM) -- a complete cost
management solution for telecommunications companies (telcos), including long
distance carriers, wireless carriers and data providers.
BillTamer(TM) automatically audits and analyzes complex Carrier Access
Billing System (CABS) bills, permitting telcos to reduce these costs in the
range of 5-10%. In America's highly competitive telco environment, the
savings for long distance carriers, data providers and wireless carriers could
reach billions of dollars annually.
Michael Piraino, SM&A's President and COO, explained that BillTamer(TM)
will become a key cost-cutting component for many telecommunications
companies. "BillTamer(TM) can increase long distance carrier profits
significantly. With its high performance and ease of operation, backed up by
our full-time Customer Care Center, we expect BillTamer(TM) to rapidly become
the industry standard," he said.
BillTamer's(TM) highly modular design is well suited for telcos of varying
sizes, from new telecommunications companies taking advantage of industry
de-regulation to mature industry players. The modular quality of the software
allows companies to purchase the modules they need to begin achieving
immediate return on their investment, and then continue to add on as their
needs mature and expand. In addition, the software has been designed to
easily integrate with mainstream accounts payable systems, allowing for faster
installation and implementation than most enterprise-level software solutions.
The base list price is $375,000; additional modules are available for $100,000
to $150,000.
Gary Markle, President and General Manager of SM&A's Information
Technology Solutions Group (ITSG) based in Colorado Springs, CO, said,
"BillTamer(TM) is fully functional and operating in various customer sites
today. Because BillTamer(TM) features an interface similar to many standard
programs, such as Excel, users can quickly and easily learn and use the
software."
