Combines Highdeal Transactive[R] with Salesforce.com to Create a World-Class Business Support System

NEW YORK & PARIS -- Highdeal, the world's leading provider of Pricing & Rating solutions, today announces that Bandwidth.com, a leading provider of complete business communications solutions, has chosen Highdeal Transactive as its best-of-breed billing solution.

Bandwidth.com, a company that serves both SMB and enterprise customers, chose Transactive after a comprehensive search. Having evaluated the leading billing & OSS vendors in the industry, Bandwidth.com quickly identified Highdeal Transactive as the ideal solution for its business needs.

Recently named by Inc. Magazine as the 16th fastest growing private company in the U.S., Bandwidth.com powers the voice and data sales initiatives for some of the largest players in telephony equipment distribution including CDW, Mitel and Allworx. Bandwidth.com has set itself apart by offering customers premier business-class VoIP solutions including SIP trunking and hosted VoIP products designed to complement its suite of data and managed network services.

According to Scott Barstow, CTO of Bandwidth.com, "When we reviewed Highdeal's capabilities and product architecture, we quickly realized that we would greatly benefit from a best-of-breed approach, allowing us to leverage other best-in-class solutions, such as Salesforce.com for customer relationship management (CRM) and salesforce automation (SFA). Highdeal Transactive meets all of our short-term and long-term business needs while ensuring accurate and timely invoices and easily integrates into our existing infrastructure."

While end-to-end solutions address baseline requirements, a best-of-breed billing solution is a necessity for market leaders with multiple business models and innovative service offerings. "Our choice of Highdeal has proven to be a real success," said Henry Kaestner, CEO of Bandwidth.com. "We required a robust business infrastructure to meet the needs of our customers and our business partners. Highdeal's pricing and rating capabilities are exceptional and serve as the ideal best-of-breed business platform."

"We are pleased to welcome Bandwidth.com to our valued community of Highdeal customers," said Camilla Dahlen, President, Highdeal Inc. "Their team clearly understands the critical role that pricing & rating plays in the overall success of their business. We look forward to a long and mutually-beneficial business relationship."

Barstow and Dahlen will present a session at Billing & OSS World event in Chicago on Thursday, April 26th, entitled, "Combining SaaS Apps with Internal Apps to Create a Next-Gen BSS/OSS". Interested parties are welcome to visit Highdeal at the event in booth #706 or call 1(212)332-2144 to learn more.
