ATX Communications Selects Vero Systems' Acuite Software to Deliver Optimal Cost Routing and Margin Management Solutions

Howell, NJ – February 14, 2005 – Vero Systems, Inc. (http://www.verosystems.com), a worldwide leader in comprehensive voice cost management solutions and margin optimization for the telecommunications industry, today announced an agreement with ATX Communications to implement Vero's Acuité Software Suite.  The implementation will automate the core functionality of ATX's existing TDM network as well as its VoIP operations providing optimal cost routing and margin management tools for both domestic and international traffic, which will yield significant cost and operational efficiencies.

The implementation of Vero's comprehensive voice cost management solution for ATX is a true end-to-end solution.  It will help ATX optimally route and manage every call across the network, having a direct impact on managing voice traffic and revenue while providing granular cost visibility.  The unique features of the Acuité tools capture key cost and QoS data associated with every call that traverses the network.  Capturing these key data elements will empower ATX's management to continue to drive cost from their network, improve financial and network reporting, increase customer satisfaction and help manage and meet its business objectives.

In addition to the implementation of the Acuité software, ATX will leverage Vero's Vendor Bill Reconciliation services.  Vero's management of the data from the switching network significantly enhances the traditional VBR engagement with data not previously manageable.  The power of the data used to reconcile carrier access bills provides a proven method for identifying more potential billing irregularities, enabling more favorable dispute resolution and improving cash flow.

"The ability to quickly obtain and leverage interconnection data with Vero Systems' Integrated Optimal Cost Traffic Management solutions will improve our efficiency in inter-carrier transactions and give us the flexibility to rapidly adapt to changing business conditions," said Mike Batdorf, Director of Network Development at ATX. "We value Vero's ROI-centered approach to our business and its proven track record with other telecommunications providers, and we look forward to working with the Vero Systems team to improve our interconnect margins and achieve our critical business objectives."

"We are pleased that ATX has partnered with Vero Systems to drive down their voice cost of access and are confident that our products and services will significantly improve their business process and increase their profit margins," said Scott Einfeldt, Vice President of Sales, Vero Systems. "We look forward to a long and successful business partnership."

A super-regional communications provider with the soul of a smaller company, ATX simplifies and safeguards voice and data networks.
