Arbinet-thexchange and PricewaterhouseCoopers Create Full-Service Bandwidth Trading Solution

NEW YORK – August 7, 2000 – With the launch of its Global Delivery Platform, Arbinet-thexchange, the full-service trading solution for buyers and sellers of telephony bandwidth, today announced the completion of the first phase of an extensive collaboration with PricewaterhouseCoopers, the world’s largest professional services organization. PricewaterhouseCoopers provides thexchange with business process consulting, systems integration and programming support for the project. Specifically, PricewaterhouseCoopers helped identify and integrate the best-of-breed components to provide the ultimate carrier-grade systems implementation to facilitate automated trading, dynamic delivery and consolidated settlement and billing. In situations where off-the-shelf components weren’t available, PricewaterhouseCoopers custom developed proprietary software, such as the settlement and reconciliation package, that tie together all these pieces into a reliable, world-class package.

“Providing a full-service solution that automates a complex, multi-step process for an industry is an ambitious undertaking, the value proposition to our members depends on these components working together seamlessly,” stated Anthony L. Craig, Arbinet-thexchange Chairman and CEO. “PricewaterhouseCoopers’ depth of experience in the communications industry was crucial in helping us develop a solution the world’s leading carriers can trust to provide an efficient, utterly reliable solution for their telephony bandwidth trading needs.”

“Arbinet-thexchange has a laser focus on ensuring that members are able to realize reduced costs and ber profitability by conducting real-time buy and sell transactions of telephony bandwidth on a reliable, full-service platform,” said Mike Reuschel, Management Consulting Services partner and COO, New World Network, of PricewaterhouseCoopers. “PricewaterhouseCoopers was very pleased to team with Arbinet-thexchange to build one of the most advanced, automated, full-service business process solutions in the market today.”
