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.”
