Rockliffe and Rodopi Partner to Provide Integrated E-mail and Billing Solution for Service Providers and Telcos

Tightly-integrated solution speeds time-to-market, reduces costs, increases revenues and improves customer services

Campbell, California and San Diego, California - (July 18, 2002) - Rockliffe Inc., the developer of e-mail and messaging infrastructure software, and Rodopi, the developer of automated provisioning, billing and customer care software, today announced that they have tightly integrated Rockliffe MailSite SP with the Rodopi Billing Software.

Service providers and telcos using this integrated solution have a single, centralized provisioning database for all subscribers. This means that service providers can reduce administration costs and increase revenues by billing subscribers quicker and more accurately. This integration also makes it possible for ISPs to offer a single sign-on (SSO) since e-mail and account passwords will be the same. ISPs do not have to duplicate any data entry or build any programmatic interfaces between the e-mail and billing systems themselves. This means that ISPs can bring their services to market much faster and they can deliver much higher levels of customer service.

Rockliffe and Rodopi have fully integrated the Rodopi subscriber database with the Rockliffe MailSite SP subscriber database. Service providers can now create a subscriber account in Rodopi and the Rockliffe MailSite SP cluster will automatically create a mailbox. As long as the account is active in Rodopi, then the subscriber will be able to send and receive e-mail through Rockliffe MailSite SP.

"We are very excited about this integrated solution for ISPs" said John Davies, Rockliffe's president and CEO. "Our customers are always looking for ways to save every penny, and a centralized provisioning database for e-mail and billing helps them cut costs significantly."

"Since both Rockliffe and Rodopi focus on the same target markets it was the logical step to take. Service providers are looking for reliable, highly scalable solutions that can automatically bill subscribers' credit cards", said Art Ekroos, executive VP for Rodopi Software. "With this partnership, we can do just that."
