Telicor, Inc., the first total telecom
managed services provider, today announced that it will provide its unified
telecommunication portfolio management services to Atlantic Coast Airlines
Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACAI), the largest regional airline on the Eastern
seaboard.
Beginning in March, Telicor will handle all provisioning, billing, network
monitoring and management, and general support for Atlantic Coast`s entire
telecommunications portfolio, including local, long distance, wireless, data,
and Internet services.  Telicor will also supply a single information portal
for Atlantic Coast to oversee billing information, trouble tickets, complete
network status and other details.
“Atlantic Coast is perfectly situated to benefit from unified telecommunications management,” said David J. Porte, chief executive officer
for Telicor.  “Telicor`s one-stop telecom management will let Atlantic Coast
concentrate resources on its primary business of serving passengers instead of
worrying about telecom.”
Telicor provides unified telecommunications services to businesses in
North America, with a single monthly bill for all products and services.
Partnering with leading national providers, Telicor gives businesses a single
point of contact for the selection, purchase, monitoring, management, support and repair of a complete telecommunications portfolio.
“By stepping into the next generation of technology solutions, our company
will be better positioned to succeed in a highly competitive environment,”
said Charles “Duffy” Mees, vice president of information systems for Atlantic
Coast. “We view Telicor`s `total management` approach to telecom as a key
component of our technology strategy.  It`s a great weight off my mind.”
