With approximately - 120 million (just under $1 million) in capital, IDC Solutions is a leading provider of calling card, aggregation and data services. Five VPS/is IVR systems with the Periphonics Calling Card Platform (PCCP) support the Love Love Home Card T System, a commercial pre-paid and post-paid credit/calling card service. The systems are connected to a DMS-100 switch and a Sun Ultra 2 host. "Our calling card services were previously supported by IVR systems that were unable to meet the demands of our market growth," says Shinji Sakamaki, general manager, sales, at IDC Solutions. "The Periphonics calling card solution provides us with the flexibility and functionality we need to manage our increasing call volume." "We are pleased by this affirmation of our PCCP solution," said Gary Strzinek, vice president of international operations at Periphonics. "We are confident that our open system architecture and robust platform will allow IDC Solutions to easily expand and enhance their calling card services in the future, as the needs of their customers continue to grow."
