Demand Surges for iXLink® and ‘All-In-One’ Service Solutions
VIENNA, Va. — August 12, 2010 —Telarix, Inc., the leading provider of business information exchange and interconnect OSS/BSS solutions for content providers, IP service providers and global fixed and mobile operators, today announced it beat its own growth expectations during the second quarter, achieving a 267% increase in year over year new customer sales bookings compared to the same quarter last year and a 62% increase in revenue for the same period.
“This quarter’s results demonstrate that iXlink has become the business information exchange for the global service provider marketplace and that the company’s OSS/BSS solutions are fast becoming industry standard around the world,” said Glen Kazerman, Chief Executive Officer, Telarix. “And as Telarix OSS/BSS solutions are adopted and utilized as the industry standard, we are seeing a corollary and exponential increase in demand for our services.”
Kazerman said Telarix saw growth across all its iXTools software modules that enable Tier-1 service providers such as Verizon, T-Mobile, KDDI and others to optimize their networks with real-time intelligence, route traffic across multiple platforms, as well as track settlement charges, partner invoice reconciliation and other processes to improve efficiency and lower costs.
Telarix’s iXLink business information exchange, which provides service providers with a secure, best-in-class business-to-business exchange platform to automate their interconnect management systems, also experienced strong demand during the quarter. iXlink has begun to facilitate the true globalization of the Service Provider marketplace, which is demonstrated by the 1200 Service Providers around the globe who are currently participating in iXLINK.
“Telecommunications companies are not holding back on IT spending on Telarix OSS/BSS solutions,” said Kazerman. “Our iXTools and iXLink services are providing companies the means to increase productivity, efficiencies and achieve lower operating costs in a challenging environment.” For the first fiscal half of 2010, Kazerman said customer bookings are up 54% year over year and demand for all solutions are at an all time high.

The new funding will support the continued growth of the Telarix iXLink business.
