ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Tone Software Corporation, a global provider of end-to-end monitoring and management solutions for converged telecommunications and IT infrastructures, today announced an exclusive partnership with Intersel, a leader in call accounting software solutions in Mexico. Under the partnership, Intersel will utilize Tone's ReliaTel([R]) Management Solution as the foundation of its new managed services offering to the Mexican telecommunications market. ReliaTel's strong multi-platform management and single pane of glass network visibility were key elements in Intersel's selection.

"We've successfully provided carriers, service providers and integrators with customized call accounting software and services for years.

By utilizing Tone Software's ReliaTel technology, Intersel can now provide carriers, service providers and integrators in Mexico with a comprehensive solution to monitor and manage IT and voice services, including both time division multiplexing (TDM) and voice over IP (VoIP) / IP telephony management capabilities in a single solution.

The strongest aspect of Intersel's decision was ReliaTel's design, which provides extensive flexibility in how connectivity and data collection are accomplished, making it ideal as a foundation for building comprehensive managed services offerings in mixed environments.
