SAI and Comstructure Announce Partnership to Integrate Call Accounting and Telecom Expense Management SolutionsNew Product Provides Broader Visibility into Telecom SpendEl Dorado Hills, CA—March 13, 2007 SAI today announced a strategic partnership with Comstructure LLC to incorporate SAI's award-winning Sierra Gold™ Call Accounting system into Comstructure's comprehensive suite of Telecommunications Expense Management (TEM) offerings, including iCIRT™, its unique expense management solution for voice, data, and wireless communications. The new product will provide companies a greater level of visibility into their telecom environment by enabling call details such as time, duration, employee involved, department information, call cost, and more, to be reported and analyzed. The level of call analysis, monitoring, and reporting provided enables companies to provide detailed allocation of telecom costs to individual profit centers and throughout the enterprise, and helps limit fraudulent phone activity and optimize traffic and network usage. “This combination of voice and data cost management services and products provides organizations powerful insight into their telecom usage to better manage their infrastructure and resources, and to boost employee productivity,” said SAI president David L. Schmidt. “The solution can be quickly implemented so that companies can begin to realize the needed cost reductions in a matter of weeks.” With the addition of call accounting, powered by Sierra Gold, Comstructure's telecom expense management solution can now offer 24x7 visibility into, and control over, nearly all aspects of an organization's telecom environment such as departmental and personnel telecom services usage and bill accuracy. Using a standard Web browser, managers have online access to processed reports within hours of the end of their reporting period. Enhanced features include toll fraud monitoring, ad hoc reports, operator directory, unified billing, and PBX integration. Sierra Gold VTS was the first usage management system to provide enterprise-wide call accounting capabilities with customized Web pages for instant report access via the Internet or corporate intranet. According to Comstructure's president, Mark Goettling, “I am very pleased SAI and Comstructure have agreed to integrate Sierra Gold and iCIRT into a powerful end-to-end communications management and reporting solution.
