PR Newswire (US)
JERSEY CITY, N.J., May 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Last Mile Connections
(LMC), the premier bandwidth exchange and solutions provider for
Last Mile Connectivity, announces today it is now offering the LMC
Exchange Pro(sm), the first client- controlled platform enabling
clients to maintain complete buying control while managing and
procuring their bandwidth services. Members can customize the
platform to quote and auction privately with their preferred
carrier suppliers. In contrast to buying and selling using LMC
traders on the public LMC Exchange e-marketplace, the LMC Exchange
Pro customers maintain control of their valuable direct carrier
relationships and use the branded Exchange Pro platform to lower
their network access costs. Customers directly manage an unlimited
number of their approved carrier suppliers or "members", located
anywhere in the world. The unique, customer interface includes
network locations, preferred sellers and fixed-pricing rates. In
addition, Exchange Pro customers can access the first, real-time,
location look-up, revealing the competitive providers available in
a selected location anywhere in the United States, the local
serving office (LSO) for the incumbent local carrier and the
proximity to any customer's network locations and carrier hotels.
Exchange Pro customers can place Request for Quotes (RFQs) in a
standardized format to its preferred sellers via an auction bidding
process. With just a few clicks, customers can award Request for
Services (RFSs), and report on all seller relationships, pricing
and ordering immediately. The Exchange Pro also maintains a history
of all the customers' quotes to help users build on their own
pricing database, for future reference and ease of use. The unique
online reverse auction system, enabled by Exchange Pro, creates an
effective effervescence among the customer's suppliers to deliver
true market pricing in record time. "It is becoming mission
critical for carriers to have the ability to operate an instant,
online automated system which can provide carrier on-net building
data while simultaneously managing quotes and orders," states
Andrew Morawski, President of Telstra Incorporated. "The LMC
Exchange Pro(sm) is a valuable and efficient resource tool for
Telstra Incorporated." "The LMC Exchange Pro is the perfect answer
to our sophisticated customers who desire to benefit from our
e-marketplace while keeping full control of their carrier
relationships with assorted agreements and their direct ordering
and provisioning process," states James Martino, President and CEO
of Last Mile Connections. "Exchange Pro customers manage their own
preferred sellers and for out-of-markets requests, they still have
the option to benefit from the LMC Exchange community of 150
network-based suppliers." The LMC Exchange Pro customized platform
includes first-to-the-industry technology, including location
services, pricing intelligence, quoting management, procurement
applications and seller management services. About Last Mile
