Access One Deploys Equinox Protector Application
Nashville-based Equinox Information
Systems announced that Access
One, a business technology and
communications services provider
offering a full range of hosted PBX, voice, data,
managed IT and cloud solutions, has selected
and deployed the Equinox Protector fraud
management system (FMS).
As part of Access One’s commitment to
award-winning customer service, it continually
seeks to improve its fraud management process.
The search to further automate its FMS efforts
ended with Access One licensing the Protector
solution. Processing hundreds of millions of call
records per day, Protector is recognized as one
of the industry’s most reliable and affordable
tools for combating telecommunications fraud.
“At Access One, we strive to provide our
customers with the absolutely best experience
in the industry,” said Matt Gray, switch engineer
at Access One. “Equinox gives us the same
personalized attention and care that we offer our
customers, so it’s a pleasure to work with them.
And their Protector system provides first-rate
monitoring and detection tools that automatically
alert us to, and stop, unwanted network events.”
The most installed FMS in the United States,
provides real-time fraud protection
by instantly notifying analysts when suspicious
activity occurs, with higher risk incidents trig-
gering more frequent, escalated alerts, including
the ability to shut down activity automatically
when warranted.
The web-based FMS also includes integrated
case management tools to speed investigation
and incident closure. Protector’s reputation is
well-earned, having saved carriers hundreds of
millions of dollars in fraud losses last year.
“Equinox’s goal is to be the leading fraud
management solution supplier to the telecom
industry,” said Equinox Executive Vice President,
David West. “We are confident in Protector’s
market-proven abilities to benefit Access One
not only in loss mitigation, but also in employee
productivity and customer satisfaction gains.”
