BEDFORD, Mass. -- Empirix® Inc., which helps organizations adopt complex communications solutions with confidence, announced today that ThinkTel, a provider of wholesale voice over broadband solutions and advanced voice applications for Canadian ISPs, IT integrators, cable operators, and carriers, has implemented Empirix's Hammer XMS. ThinkTel selected the Empirix solution for analyzing VoIP signaling and network troubleshooting, helping it to reduce support and resolution times and improve its overall network quality.

Founded in 2003, ThinkTel has grown over the last five years into a national provider of wholesale trunking for business-to-business solutions. As business grew, so did the need to conduct more call analysis. As a result, ThinkTel began using Empirix's Hammer XMS and has since relied upon the VoIP diagnostic tool to provide a complete, clear and accurate picture of what was happening for every call in the network at any given point in time.

Specifically, within only two months ThinkTel noticed a difference in how Hammer XMS was able to augment its operational efficiency. Problem resolution rates increased by 40%, and there was a reduction in per call problem identification time of ten minutes. In addition, ThinkTel noted an added benefit of being able to send call diagnostics directly to the customer and share complete and detailed information about the cause of the issue.

"After reviewing several diagnostic and monitoring options, it was clear Empirix's Hammer XMS solution was the most comprehensive offering that fit our needs," said ThinkTel President and CEO Dave Damer. "Simply put, with Hammer XMS, first time problem resolution numbers are up and we've also been able to use Hammer XMS as a sales and marketing tool since it demonstrates very clearly our capability to diagnose, identify and resolve issues. As a growing company, we're focused on partnering with other organizations that can scale to our growth, and Empirix has proven it will be an asset as we continue to expand."
