MSLV Metasolv

SAN MATEO, Calif., July 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Rearden Commerce, the world's largest marketplace for services of all kinds and Campbell Resources, one of the largest independent travel agencies in the United States, today announced that MetaSolv, Inc. (NASDAQ:MSLV) has selected Rearden's integrated commerce platform and marketplace to reduce the cost and complexity of corporate travel management -- from booking to policy compliance. MetaSolv also selected Campbell Resources, a member of the Rearden Commerce Distributor Program, to handle all travel booking for employees. MetaSolv, Inc. is a global leader in comprehensive operations support system solutions for next-generation communications service providers. MetaSolv automates the order-to-activate provisioning process for traditional and next-generation IP-based wireline and mobile service providers. MetaSolv's multi-service, multi-technology capabilities include order management, inventory management, service activation, configuration management and network mediation. More than 170 global service providers -- including Brasil Telecom, BT, Cable & Wireless, O2, Singtel, Sprint, Telstra, T-Mobile, UPC, Verizon Dominicana, and Vodafone -- use MetaSolv's solutions to achieve increased revenues, reduced costs, and enhanced customer service. MetaSolv is a global company, headquartered in Plano, Texas. "MetaSolv is pleased to announce a partnership with Rearden Commerce and Campbell Resources. Through our extensive RFP process, we learned that the combination of Rearden and Campbell will be the best fit for us to accomplish our company objectives," said Michael Thrift, senior manager, Facilities and Real Estate for MetaSolv. "Those objectives include cost containment in the area of travel and non-PO purchases including package shipping and off-airport parking. Rearden's dynamic and comprehensive approach to seamless management of these spend categories will help MetaSolv maximize the contracts we already have in place with the relative vendors. That, coupled with the full content of fares that Campbell provides, along with their ability to globalize our travel management through ownership in GlobalStar, will go a long way in reducing MetaSolv's overall spend and policy management." Rearden Commerce: One Marketplace for All Services Rearden Commerce offers the only integrated commerce platform and marketplace for services, providing employees a single secure site for buying services, while enabling companies to effectively drive compliance with procurement policy. Rearden Commerce orchestrates all aspects of corporate services on the employee's behalf, including travel, dining, entertainment, web and audio conferencing, package shipping and many others. All services are integrated with the employee's work life: booked services automatically appear on calendars; invitations and RSVPs to meetings are automatically coordinated and employees can even get a call on their cell phone if their flight is delayed, a schedule changes or when a package arrives. Rearden Commerce also manages compliance with corporate policies. Through a simple-to-use Web console, procurement managers can set and deploy policies across their entire enterprise -- including preferred vendors, pricing limits and approval/exception paths. Unlike legacy online booking and purchasing systems, Rearden Commerce is constantly adding new services to its marketplace, offering businesses a central platform for all services procurement.
