FAIRFAX, VA - March 8, 2010 - Razorsight Corporation, the only Cloud Computing provider of profit analytics solutions for communications service providers (CSPs), today announced the launch of its new Profit Enhancement Center ™(PEC) 6.0 release. This is a major release delivering substantial benefits for Razorsight's customers. PEC 6.0 will be deployed FREE of charge to all existing customers as part of Razorsight's SaaS/Cloud Computing delivery methodology. PEC 6.0 leverages a web-based portal to deliver a suite of applications to support the management and analysis of all cost, revenue, network, and off-net inventory data for CSPs. PEC 6.0 provides customers with improved business intelligence and analytics through powerful dashboards that track real time key performance indicators (KPI's) related to network cost, revenue leakage, and operational efficiency.

In addition to delivering new and innovative features and solutions, PEC 6.0 integrates solutions acquired by Razorsight in 2009 which complement its existing flagship Cost Management, Data Capture and Analytics products. PEC 6.0 provides significant enhancements focusing on productivity, navigation, automation, and ease of use. Razorsight's integrated solution suite provides one-stop shopping and intuitive, easy to use and efficient access to all Cost, Usage, Inventory, and Revenue data.

PEC 6.0 becomes the first of its kind -- a highly flexible, modular platform that clients can use for point solutions such as automated data loading and master data management, or more expansive needs like workflow automation (Invoice Receipt to Payment) as well as full revenue and cost management. A key benefit of PEC 6.0 is the integration of new modules to include inventory analysis, detailed usage analysis, and revenue assurance. "Razorsight is offering a wealth of new solutions to help clients better manage modular components of their business around Costs, Wholesale Revenue Leakage and ultimately Profitability and Margin Management," said CTO Suren Nathan. "We're excited to provide a FREE, 30-Day Test Drive to showcase the power and utility of 6.0 enhancements."

FAIRFAX, VA — January 19, 2010 — Razorsight Corporation, the only Cloud Computing provider of profit analytics solutions for communications service providers (CSPs), today announced record revenues and growth for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. The company’s revenues have grown for nine consecutive years, and the company recorded its best sales bookings year ever. In addition, Razorsight’s Analytics software revenue grew 37% year over year during a global recession. Driven by innovation, Razorsight continued to increase its market share due to its ease of deployment, low startup cost and exceptional ROI.

"Our performance in 2009 in light of the continued economic turbulence was particularly rewarding and indicative of the value we deliver to our customers" said Charlie Thomas, CEO Razorsight. "Given the need for CSPs to reduce COGS during a period of flat revenue growth, Razorsight’s customers have recognized the value of deploying a Cloud based solution that delivers immediate ROI by lowering off-net costs as well as the operational expense of managing such."

Razorsight improved its leadership position in the market as numerous CSPs chose Razorsight’s highly scalable Cloud based platform over competitive offerings. The company's key achievements in 2009 include:

Strong Customer Retention and Growth Across Market Segments
Razorsight entered into multi-million dollar agreements with a large number of CSPs, including three of the world’s top ten telecommunications carriers. Razorsight also won several customer renewals and maintained its 100% retention rate for Analytics customers. Razorsight won numerous significant new contracts as it continued its market leadership across all sectors of the telecommunications industry including LECs, RLECs, CLECs, MSO, VoIP, and data service providers. Every new customer entered into a multi-year commitment to Razorsight, reflecting the exceptional value clients achieve with its innovative Cloud Analytics platform.

Solutions Expansion
Razorsight continued to broaden the value it brings to customers by adding several new solutions in 2009 including Revenue Analytics, Inventory Analytics, and Usage Analytics – all delivered as a package or as individual solutions under Razorsight Profit Enhancement Center™. The company completed its first acquisition when it announced it had acquired SingleTusk in July.

New Investor
In June Razorsight secured an additional $3 million investment from MMV Financial, further strengthening the company’s balance sheet. This brings the total institutional capital invested in Razorsight to $25 million.

Successful User Conference
In September, the company hosted a very successful Annual User Conference at the Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center at the Washington National Harbor which attracted over 100 Razorsight customers and partners, and featured an information-rich agenda with educational and informative presentations by industry thought-leaders including executives from IBM, Accenture, Comcast, Granite Telecommunications, IP Magazine and Kelley Drye.

Razorsight Sponsors Informative Webinar On Access Reform

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:00:00 +0000

FAIRFAX, VA - November 24, 2009 - Razorsight Corporation, the market-leading provider of on-demand financial business intelligence and analytics solutions for Communications Service Providers (CSPs) today announced the availability of an informative webinar delivering a concise examination of the issues surrounding pending FCC changes and their impact on network costs. The webinar is organized by Razorsight partner CCMI, and sponsored by Razorsight.

Across the board, stakeholders in the industry agree the current access charge regime is hopelessly out of step with the technological and competitive changes that have transformed the industry. Yet, despite years of proceedings and discussions, there has been no substantive action by the FCC. Now, with a newly constituted FCC in place and economic and technical pressures greater than ever before, industry insiders agree that the FCC will act. The critical questions now are: how soon will the FCC act; how profound will the changes be; and how quickly will they be put in place. The answers to these questions are the driving factors in network costs. CSPs must be prepared to take action when access charge reforms are finally put into place.

Industry veteran Andy Regitsky breaks down this issue - fundamental to the economics of every carrier and service provider - and provides a concise examination of:

The underlying flaws in the current system, many which lead to harmful (and expensive) rate arbitrage
The critical link between access charge reform and the Universal Service Fund
The industry access charge reform proposals now before the FCC
The changes in the access cost structure and rate elements - like unified termination rates, alternative costing methodologies, changes to originating access and more
The length and pace of transition plans

CSPs interested in viewing this webinar can register immediately at:

Andy Regitsky is the President of Regitsky & Associates, a consulting firm providing regulatory policy expertise to local and long-distance carriers. Mr. Regitsky's 26 years of experience in access charges, interconnection, universal service and telecom regulation make him the industry's foremost access and interconnection expert. Prior to forming Regitsky & Associates, he held senior positions at MCI and AT&T and also served as COMPTEL's Vice President of State Affairs.

Razorsight Achieves 8th Consecutive Year of Revenue Growth in 2008

Mon, 26 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +0000

FAIRFAX, VA — January 26, 2009 — Razorsight Corporation, the market leading provider of on–demand financial audit and analytics solutions for communications service providers (CSPs), today announced record revenues and growth for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. The company’s revenues have grown by 2,048% over the last five years, and Razorsight maintained an exceptional win record over the competition in 2008 as the company won many multi–million dollar deals with marquee CSPs. In addition, Razorsight’s application software revenue grew 48% year over year in 2008 and profitability improved 58%. Driven by innovation, Razorsight continued to increase its market share during the year, reinforcing its reputation as the state–of–the–art solutions provider in the industry.

"Our performance in 2008 in the face of a global recession was remarkable. The recurring revenue nature of our on–demand Software–as–a–Service (SaaS) model, outstanding customer base, and our business relationships with strategic partners position us for another strong year in 2009" said Charlie Thomas, CEO Razorsight. "In light of continued pressure on CSPs to manage costs and streamline operations, Razorsight’s customers and partners have recognized the value of deploying an on–demand solution that delivers significant savings, while lowering the overall cost of managing intercarrier costs. As the premier cost management and margin optimization solutions provider in the industry, Razorsight is the only company that can completely eliminate paper from the supply chain and ensure 100 percent visibility into network cost and important gross margin elements, while seamlessly integrating with existing back office systems."

Razorsight improved its leadership position in the market as the nation’s leading CSPs and system integrators chose Razorsight’s highly scalable web–based platform over competitive offerings that are neither able to eliminate paper–related inefficiencies nor able to manage the challenges and opportunities of next generation networks. The company's key achievements in 2008 include:

Strong growth across market segments
Razorsight entered into multi–million dollar agreements with a large number of CSPs, including three of the country’s top five telecommunications carriers. Razorsight also won significant new contracts with leading companies in all aspects of the telecommunications industry including LECs, RLECs, CLECs, CATV, VoIP, data service providers and international telecommunications carriers. Every new customer entered into a multi–year commitment to Razorsight, reflecting the exceptional value clients achieve with its innovative SaaS platform. In addition, Razorsight had three replacements of competitor systems.

Strategic partnerships with IBM Corporation and Others
Razorsight entered into a teaming agreement with IBM Corporation for its Telecommunications Industry Financial practice. Under the terms of the agreement, which builds on the existing PartnerWorld relationship, Razorsight and IBM telecom–focused solutions are now available to customers on IBM platforms through joint sales efforts. By combining their solutions’ strengths and domain expertise, Razorsight and IBM will be able to provide unprecedented margin improvement opportunities for CSPs. Razorsight also reached a joint marketing agreement with the world’s largest consulting firm.

Activations at Top Tier North American Carriers

Deployed AIM Analytics at Largest U.S. Wireline Carrier
Initiated deployment of AIM Capture at Largest U.S. Wireless Carrier
Deployed AIM Analytics at 2nd Largest Canadian Wireline Carrier

Application Expansion via Partners
After analyzing the best of breed solutions for usage analytics and network optimization, Razorsight entered into strategic partnerships with the market leading companies in these respective complementary areas. Connectiv Solutions, www.connectiv–solutions.com, offers a highly sophisticated SaaS Solution to help carriers analyze detailed call records to engineer and ensure route optimization for all switched traffic. Connectiv Solutions is deployed at several of the top tier carriers in North America. Global Capacity, www.globalcapacity.com, has established an exhaustive database of tariff rules, pricing and location data across a wide variety of carriers around the globe. Combining this database with its sophisticated optimization software, Global Capacity assesses and identifies additional network optimization opportunities for carriers.� Both company's solutions further enhance the scope and capabilities of Razorsight’s AIM Analytics software platform, as opposed to competitor offerings comprised of multiple outdated and disparate products.

Industry Recognition through a number of awards
Razorsight’s rapid growth was recognized with several industry awards including:

Entrepreneur Magazine’s Hot 100
- America’s Top Fast–Growth Businesses
Deloitte Technology Fast 500
SmartCEO 100

International Expansion
Razorsight won its first international customer in 2008 by adding a Tier 1 International Carrier to its client list. The company expects to add several additional international clients in 2009 based on its partner efforts and pending sales opportunities.

NTS Communications Chooses Razorsight’s On-Demand Solution to Automate Network Cost Management and Enable Financial Business Intelligence

FAIRFAX, VA — Jan 6, 2009 — Razorsight Corporation, the market-leading provider of on-demand financial business intelligence solutions for communications, media and entertainment companies, today announced that NTS Communications, a premier provider of triple-play services, has selected Razorsight to automate its network cost management functions and provide related analytic capabilities. Razorsight’s solution ensures NTS will realize the optimal blend of internal staff and systems to achieve the maximum Network Cost Score™ — a unique formula created by Razorsight to benchmark how communications service providers balance the blend of internal staff costs, systems and third-party providers to obtain the lowest possible network costs.

With Razorsight’s AIM solution, NTS Communications is able to gain 100 percent visibility into network cost details with zero touch. This was previously a lengthy, manual process; the new process is based on systematic workflow from invoice receipt to payment. AIM Analytics enables NTS to conduct on-demand, automated audits of every dollar spent on the network every month. AIM Analytics also automates the process of generating monthly financial reports.

Razorsight’s unique and powerful AIM Capture solution creates the first ever, 100 percent electronic network cost management process which seamlessly integrates all cost data into a single database for auditing. The zero touch automation frees valuable staff to perform high-yield functions, including network optimization, inventory verification, claims negotiations and settlements. AIM Analytics is the leading solution in the market today offering a combined approach to network cost automation and business intelligence, while delivering a return on investment in less than 12 months.

“NTS Communications delivers an array of communications solutions making it essential for us to have the best systems to manage our internal processes through automation and flexibility,” said Brad Worthington, COO at NTS Communications. ”After an extensive evaluation of other solutions, we selected Razorsight’s web-based AIM solution because it provides the best capabilities not only today, but to scale to take on the growth in business we expect to achieve”, added Brad.

“Razorsight is pleased to add NTS Communications to our growing list of customers,” stated Charlie Thomas, CEO of Razorsight. “Razorsight’s AIM Capture and Analytics will give NTS Communications a greater competitive edge through lowering operational costs, and dashboards and reports that will provide management with a better understanding of their cost structure to make more informed business decisions as their network grows.”

Razorsight Launches AIM 5.0 Next Generation Architecture

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 00:00:00 +0000

Las Vegas, NV – NXTcomm Booth SL6520 – June 17, 2008 – Razorsight Corporation, the leading provider of on-demand financial business intelligence solutions for communications, media and entertainment companies, today announced the launch of its new AIM 5.0 Next Generation Architecture. AIM 5.0 supports Razorsight’s mission of delivering on-demand solutions customized to support and automate the delivery and management of a plethora of next generation network offerings. AIM 5.0 uniquely leverages a single repository that contains all cost and revenue data, thereby providing customers with improved business intelligence and analytics while also delivering powerful executive dashboards to track real time key performance indicators (KPI’s) related to network cost, revenue leakage, and operational efficiency.

Razorsight is also unveiling the new releases of its flagship products AIM Capture and AIM Analytics, which are built on the AIM 5.0 Next Generation Architecture. Razorsight AIM Capture supports over 3,000 carrier billing formats and is the industry’s first, and only application that extracts, translates and loads line item details trapped in paper invoices, contracts, and other documents, thereby automatically bringing every Communications Service Provider (CSP) into a Zero Touch, 100 percent electronic environment for all cost data. AIM Analytics provides the first and only next generation platform for on-demand workflow automation, cost management and automated auditing and analysis. AIM Analytics allows Network Cost and Revenue Management groups to conduct audits, perform complex analyses, manage disputes, reconcile invoices, automatically allocate costs to general ledger accounts, and feed into accounting and ERP systems for automation of payments. Razorsight provides a comprehensive set of robust, automated audits for increased dispute savings and provides an exceptional ROI in less than a year.

By leveraging the AIM 5.0 Next Generation Architecture and the ease of its on-demand structure, AIM Capture and AIM Analytics can immediately be integrated into a CSP’s existing cost management and revenue assurance ecosystem by seamlessly integrating with order management, inventory, fulfillment, ERP, and usage feeds and systems.

“We’ve been working on this solution for several years, and I’m excited about delivering AIM 5.0, given the significant market share and momentum we’ve already captured with the previous platform,” said Charlie Thomas, Razorsight CEO. “AIM 5.0 is a revolutionary platform that further distinguishes Razorsight’s innovation and uniquely positions the company for successful global expansion. AIM 5.0 is the only solution that provides comprehensive support for the plethora of new NGN services CSPs are rolling out.”

New AIM Capture and AIM Analytics features enabled by the AIM 5.0 Next Generation Architecture include:

International Support – Enables support for global carriers through international invoice formats, multiple currency types and exchange rates, value added tax (VAT) details and allocation of VAT at the circuit level.

Executive Dashboards – Provides graphical trending of key metrics such as Global Expense Management, Dispute Resolution, Analyst Performance, and Financial Impacts directly to the desktop. Additionally, Razorsight’s Network Cost Score^TM is a standard component in the dashboard that gives CFOs immediate access to significant performance metrics representing hundreds of millions if not billions in cost. AIM 5.0 also delivers a new package of standardized reports developed from best practices within Razorsight’s marquee customer base. These reports include an entire suite of cost and revenue management information for all cost and revenue data.

Plug and Play – More robust, extensible interfaces from the AIM 5.0 Razorsight Platform, make activations much easier with a highly configurable toolkit that allows seamless integration to a multitude of legacy systems that include inventory, order management, network usage, billing, supplier management, financial, ERP and others.

Web 2.0 – A close integration with Razorsight’s new user community portal facilitates the exchange of ideas, best practices, audits, shortcuts, and results comparison.

Supplier Management – A new supplier management portal provides a much easier and more automated invoice tracking, supplier performance management, and overall supplier management process.

Improved Product Integration - Single Sign On capabilities allow one set of credentials to be used for any AIM 5.0 application.

Intuitive Workflow – An entire new workflow schema and paradigm has been applied as a result of third-party consultants designing system layout, process, and end user functions around ease of use, making performing any function an intuitive, easy process.

Razorsight is demonstrating AIM Capture and AIM Analytics at booth number SL6520 at NXTcomm. Several customers are already utilizing the new releases and full deployment to all customers is scheduled for July.
