Integra Telecom Unveils New Quoting Platform, Does it Measure Up to Master Agent Telarus' Offering?

Just last week, Integra Telecom (News - Alert) made some noise in the telecommunications space by introducing its MasterStream quoting solution to its master agents and reseller partners. Touted as a platform that has long been in the works due to continuous demand for it, the offering took quite some time to be released due to some quarterly losses that began around 2008.


It was that year that the company acquired Eschelon (News - Alert) Telecom, ultimately suffering when Integra was overtaken by competitors due to the lack luster promotion of its fiber products and not remaining competitive enough by slacking on introducing new next-generation services to stay ahead in the space, a recent article revealed.

Refusing to let the same thing happen twice, the company realized the sheer importance of going head to head with Telaus’ robust GeoQuote product, a high functioning quoting tool that has recently reached the 1,000,000th real-time quotes milestone.

Adam Edwards, president of Telarus (News - Alert), Inc., commented in regards to the significant achievement saying, "Reaching the 1,000,000th real-time quotes milestone is a testament to the value we are providing our partners and suppliers."

"Not only is the software the only one of its kind in the industry, its showing with all clarity the value of obtaining information in real-time from the phone companies. We are proud to be able to connect our partners and suppliers together and to help each side work with the other in a more efficient and profitable way."

Developed and patented back in 2003 by the Utah-based master agent, GeoQuote can accurately quote transaction products in a very short period of time that are then offered to enterprises by carriers. Some of these products include data T1, PRI, Ethernet over copper, cable Internet/voice/TV and more.

With an error rate of less than two percent, virtually any firm within the telecommunications space can significantly benefit from leveraging this innovative platform.

Robert Butler, VP of Sales – West, Telarus, Inc. added, "Here at Telarus, our job is to help our agents find the best solution for their clients in the quickest and simplest way possible. Using our technology, millions of archived quote records, and our collective experience (most of us used to work for many of the telecom carriers we represent) - we are able to make our agents look like all-stars. This helps them gain credibility, as well as sign contracts and new clients."

Powering high efficiency and an even higher level of customer support than any other agents currently in the vertical, Integra Telecom has quite some work ahead of it.
