Newmarket Technology’s VoIP Subsidiary XIPTEL Communications has launched their proprietary solution for managing a company’s back office operations. XCCP, (Xiptel Customer Control Panel), the core component of XIPTEL’s intellectual property portfolio, has been running the back office functions for XIPTEL since January 2006, and is now available to selected customers.

“Customers can now get on-line access to incoming and outgoing calls whenever they want, from wherever they are,” said Peter Geddis, XIPTEL’s CEO. “Today’s VoIP based systems provide a long list of important features to customers,” said Geddis, “but unless access to useful information and control is made easy and reliable, many of those features will remain unused. Our XCCP system solves those problems, adds real value to our company, and helps set us apart from our competition. Offering new products and services, such as XCCP, is an integral step to building our revenue base to $10 million for this year and meeting our forecast for 100% growth in 2007.”

XCCP handles the back office tasks involved with subscriber management, provisioning, support ticketing, call detail reporting and mediation, and billing. The software features a multi-level security and permissions architecture to allow subscribers, customer administrators, resellers, and system billing, engineering, and executive users to view and manage those elements necessary for day to day operations and planning.
