ACE*COMM Corporation (NASDAQ:ACEC), a global provider of network business intelligence and advanced operations support systems (OSS) solutions, today announced that Technology Marketing Corporation’s (TMC(R)) Internet Telephony(R) magazine has designated its NetPlus(R) telecommunications management system (TMS) a winner of the magazine’s prestigious Product of the Year Awards for 2005. Internet Telephony(R) is the premier publication in the rapidly growing VoIP/IP telephony industry. NetPlus(R) integrates with IP-based vendor equipment, and extends telemanagement functionality into the VoIP platform with a migration that is transparent to end-users, the transport technology, and the equipment vendor.
“As the move to VoIP builds, a TMS built on open standards with APIs that allow other systems to access its functionality and data is required to fully realize the benefits of VoIP,” said George T. Jimenez, CEO of ACE*COMM. “NetPlus(R) is built on open standards, so that organizations can easily extend the system as new network devices are added and new services are made available. Further, as IT and telephony intertwine and merge, NetPlus(R) can track and access data in near real-time from all sources and make its data available to other IT management systems.”
According to Internet Telephony(R) editors, the selected companies demonstrate the vision, leadership and attention to detail that are the hallmarks of Product of the Year award winners. Rich Tehrani, TMC President and Editor-in-Chief of Internet Telephony(R) magazine, said, “The companies selected to receive Internet Telephony(R) Product of the Year Awards for 2005 have been instrumental in the explosive growth of VoIP and the larger IP telephony industry this year. We’re proud to reward their hard work and innovation.”
According to TMC Editorial Director Greg Galitzine, “The Product of the Year awards exemplify the best that this industry has to offer. The companies earning this distinction have demonstrated a commitment to quality, and a commitment to the further development of the IP telephony industry through their contributions. All winners deserve this great honour, and I look forward to seeing other innovative solutions from them as they continue to contribute to the future of VoIP and IP telephony.”
