PRTC, a South Carolina-based telecommunications cooperative, is the initial joint customer to implement the new integration between CDG's MBS OSS/BSS platform and Calix Cloud Through the integration and flow of real-time subscriber billing information, PRTC support and marketing teams gain immediate access to insights to ensure an exceptional subscriber experience, while also automating and streamlining manual processes to help rapidly complete orders and provision services.

According to Chris Green, Director of Network Engineering at PRTC, "This breakthrough integration is empowering our business to create a truly differentiated experience both for our subscribers and our employees. Our subscribers are immersing themselves in the services we have taken to market, like APEX WIFI service, and the control they have over them, while our support personnel are seeing a reduction in both ISP support calls and support call duration."
