Somos, Inc. Announces Partnership with AGNITY to Deliver Toll-Free Routing Data

Feb 14, 2019

EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J., February 14, 2019 — Somos, Inc., a leading registry management and data solutions company, announced today its partnership with AGNITY. As the first Somos Authorized Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Partner for RouteLink®, AGNITY will provide its customer base with a modern and affordable option for bringing Toll-Free routing data to the market.

AGNITY is a leading provider of intelligent business communication applications and infrastructure for the telecommunications industry. Their Core Network Applications include several product offerings that are highly synergistic with RouteLink®. With this partnership, AGNITY has incorporated RouteLink®, a Somos service that provides direct access to authoritative Toll-Free routing data into their Intelligent Call Routing (ICR), a core network applications offering. The ICR allows the execution of a service flow by the underlying routing engine, specifically utilizing RouteLink’s Application Programming Interface (API) to reduce both the cost and complexity of the Toll-Free routing process.

AGNITY customers can now download a full copy of Somos’ authoritative routing data, sourced from the SMS/800 Toll-Free Number (TFN) Registry. This information is available in a “Plug and Play” format that requires minimal deployment and system integration. Customers can then apply their business intelligence to determine the fastest and most efficient possible route for the delivery of a Toll-Free call.

“AGNITY’s portfolio of best-in-class Call Routing solutions make them an ideal partner for RouteLink® services,” said Ryan Karnas, Director, Product Management at Somos. “We look forward to enhancing return on investment for AGNITY’s customers and providing them direct access to authoritative Toll-Free routing data and the ability to store it locally.”

“AGNITY is committed to delivering superior solutions that enhance and optimize Call Routing for its existing and future customers,” added Uday Choudhury, VP Product Management at AGNITY. “With this partnership with Somos, AGNITY’s Solution is pre-integrated with RouteLink® and enables customers to access authoritative Toll-Free routing data locally and efficiently. This not only streamlines the entire process; it provides a huge benefit over interworking with the legacy SMS/800 platform.”
