"As many of our clients have experienced, great customer support isn't always easy to come by with the major telecom providers," said Andy Coan, president and CEO, Splice Communications. "Add in the complexity of working with multiple telecom providers and managing your network can become a frustrating, time-consuming process. Splice created Customer Connect to save customers time and money by putting all the information they need in one easy-to-access location. From order updates to billing history, our customers can find everything in one place, any time, using any browser."

Customer Connect offers the following customer benefits:

• Visibility into network services - Enables real-time management and viewing of all pending, installed and disconnected circuits.

• Simple, convenient telecom billing - Provides a gateway to billing, enabling customers to make a single payment for all their telecom services, browse past invoices and obtain details on prior payments. The portal is a great resource in which to analyze telecom billing and expenses and to identify overspending and billing errors.
