ashville-based Equinox Information

Systems reported that Call One, a

full-service technology/telecommu-

nications company providing total managed

solutions for carriers, has licensed and

deployed the Protector fraud management

system (FMS) from Equinox.

More than 60 leading carriers rely on Call

One for unified voice, data and communica-

tions solutions. Call One selected Protector

as part of a search for a best-in-class FMS.

Processing hundreds of millions of call

records per day for customers around the

globe, Protector is recognized as the indus-

try’s most reliable and affordable tool for

combatting telecommunications fraud.

“Call One offers consolidated solutions,

aimed at simplification so our customers have

more time and energy to focus on their core

business. Similarly, the Protector FMS allows

us to concentrate our efforts on continuing to

accomplish our mission,” said George Pitsou-

lakis, director of Operations and Product

Management for Call One. “Also, Equinox

is quick to provide the resources and real-

time updates necessary to make sure we get

maximum benefit from the system.”

The most installed FMS in the United

States, Protector provides real-time fraud

protection by instantly notifying analysts when

suspicious activity occurs, with higher risk

incidents triggering more frequent, escalated

alerts, including the ability to automatically

shut down activity when warranted.

The FMS also includes integrated case

management tools to speed investigation and

incident closure. Protector’s reputation is well

earned, having saved carriers hundreds of

millions of dollars in fraud losses last year alone.

“Adding Call One to our customer roster

further strengthens Equinox’s position as a

leader across all segments of the telecom-

munications industry,” said Equinox Executive

Vice President David West. “We share the

same dedication to personal customer care

as Call One does and look forward to working

alongside them in the fraud management

trenches for many years to come.”
