Vonage Partners with Synchronoss for VoIP LNP Managed Services
May 24, 2005
North America's Leading VoIP Provider Using ActivationNow to Manage LNP
Bridgewater, New Jersey (May 24, 2005) – Today, Synchronoss Technologies, Inc., (www.synchronoss.com) announced that it has signed a multi-year agreement to provide comprehensive local number portability (LNP) and e-commerce order management technology and services to Vonage Holdings Corporation. As North America's leading broadband telephony company, Vonage is aggressively acquiring subscribers who are making the switch from traditional wireline service to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP).
Vonage offers consumers and small businesses an affordable alternative to traditional telephone service and is the fastest growing broadband telephony company in North America. The company's service area encompasses more than 2,000 active rate centers in more than 150 global markets. Vonage is sold directly through www.vonage.com and e-tail/retail partners such as Amazon.com, Best Buy, Staples, RadioShack, and Circuit City.
“Customer service is of paramount importance to Vonage, and nothing could be more critical than assuring our subscribers that their phone numbers will be effectively and efficiently ported to our network,” said Dan Bemis, Senior Vice President, Customer Care of Vonage. “When it comes to a comprehensive LNP solution that automates fallout management and is backed by an industry-pioneering service level agreement (SLA), there is no comparison to Synchronoss.”
The partnership with Synchronoss offers numerous advantages to Vonage as it rapidly grows its subscriber base. Synchronoss' ActivationNow is an order gateway and a workflow management platform that tracks every VoIP transaction, identifying those that are not provisioned properly and setting in motion an efficient resolution process that ultimately increases overall productivity and helps support revenue growth. Additionally, by implementing an automated VoIP LNP fallout management system, Vonage can better inform its customers when their phone numbers will be ported with a high degree of accuracy, because Synchronoss immediately remedies any accounts that fall out of the migration process. In fact, Synchronoss is compensated based on the speed and quality with which it manages exceptions, a business model that no other company can emulate.
“Vonage is the clear market leader in the residential and small business broadband telephony market space, and we are extremely proud to partner with them to help further accelerate their growth,” said Stephen G. Waldis, CEO, Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. “LNP is critical to the consumer and small business market. Keeping your original phone number is often make or break for a successful VoIP transaction. At Synchronoss, we realized this and deployed our technology and services to develop a comprehensive approach to VoIP LNP that automates fallout resolution. Essentially, we have gone from entering the VoIP LNP business to leading it in a very brief time period.”
With the announcement of the Vonage agreement, the Synchronoss broadband portfolio now includes the #1 and #2 VoIP providers and the #1 VoIP wholesaler in North America.
