You know, this is one of those questions we hear carriers discuss all of the time. What is the value of your interconnect voice platform in actual dollars and cents?  

Sitting here thinking about our business and how we have grown over the years, our successes and our failures. At the core of our value proposition

Well, it’s here and it has happened. We knew it was coming, and we knew it was going to change the industry. The intrusion of cloud offerings in everything voice has officially happened.

So, how’s your interconnect voice operations and business going? Are you getting more efficient? Are you increasing revenues and margins? Is your traffic growing?

So, the time is now. You know it, your people know it, heck, even your suppliers and competitors know it.

So, just got back from the ITW show in Chicago. Chicago is a great town, and the event gives everyone a chance to meet face-to-face with

So, it’s time to start thinking about it. You know you need to, but you have been avoiding it. It seems complex, the security issues are concerning, plus you like having control, right?

So, by now we all know that the interconnect voice marketplace has become completely commoditized. According to Investopedia, commoditization refers to a process in which goods or services become relatively indistinguishable from competing offerings over time.

Okay, okay. You are probably tired of hearing us preach about how important interconnect voice is to a voice service provider. We know, we know. It’s voice. It’s so…yesterday…heck, it’s yester-century.

Ahh, chaos. It feels like the whole world is moving at such an unprecedented pace that if we look back we will break our necks from the whiplash.

There are things you can start improving now that can have a profound impact. Things like interconnect voice.  We’ve been doing interconnect voice for a long time now. It’s what we do.  

At the beginning of every calendar year, every company takes a step back and attempts to view their plans, both tactical and strategic, with a perspective that is more holistic. Here at GCS, we aren’t any different

When it comes to your network voice interconnect business, what is the goal?  Is it to improve quality?  Is it to increase margins?  Is it to increase overall traffic?

Okay, so, if you’ve visited our website, read any of our literature, received any of our emails, or spoken to any of our sales teams or our customers, you probably know that we are the “Dynamic Routing” guys.

At GCS, we sit in an interesting seat. We see how the industry has evolved and we have been not just front row audience members, but, also active participants.

When we launched our first commercial version of the GCS Dynamic Management Solution in 2009,  we weren’t sure what to expect.

One of the central components of our value proposition (increasing suppliers) is premised on our belief that ubiquitous interconnection amongst carriers is good because it promotes better marketplace efficiency and opens up opportunity.

So, by now, everyone should be aware that there is new regulation being imposed on calls that originate and terminate in the EU (see you later GB, I guess?), adding a new level of complexity to pricing, routing, and reporting.

So, you have finally come to the conclusion that you need to replace your Least Cost Routing Solution, or your Interconnect Voice Management Solution, or your Interconnect Rate Management System, or your LCR file generator, or whatever you want to call it.  

This industry.  The voice telecommunications industry surely is not the sexiest thing in the world. We can talk to each other around the world or even from space to earth, and still the voice industry is largely perceived to be boring.
