Emida Signs LGI Telecom to Debisys Network
FOOTHILL RANCH, California and MIAMI, Florida, March 21, 2006 (Business Wire) – Emida Technologies, a leader in the global prepayment and value transfer market, announced today that LGI Telecom has selected Emida’s Debisys platform to provide electronic POSA transaction processing to their clients.
For the past twelve years, LGI Telecom has provided services primarily to independently owned and operated stores on the West Coast through their offices in Los Angeles, San Diego, La Puente and Monterey, CA.
LGI will offer cellular and long distance products via the Debisys network. Designed to run on terminals from a wide range of terminal suppliers, Debisys will allow LGI to move from their current hard card model to electronic transactions at over 5,000 direct customer locations. Emida will also offer the LGI long distance products to its network of distributors.
“POSA is a natural evolution of the card business. It gives us less expensive, more efficient tools with which to manage sales and distribution,” said Juan Carlos Gaviria, President and CEO of LGI Telecom. “With Emida’s platform, we can introduce new products at the touch of a button, and their back office features allow us to manage our agents. Plus, we can sell additional wireless products without the need for physical inventory. It’s the best of both worlds.”
“We’re thrilled LGI selected us, and we’re looking forward having LGI up and running quickly with our Debisys network,” commented Pete Sauerborn, VP, North American Sales for Emida. “LGI will be able to offer their customers and distributors new products faster, which will allow them to be more competitive. And Debisys will help solve problems for LGI that all ISOs face – inventory and cash accounting.”
Debisys is Emida’s POSA network for North America. The Debisys network offers a single-source solution for ISOs, including ePINs, long distance, cross border value transfer, top-up, stored value, lottery, cards, phones, terminals and easy back-end management. Emida enforces a strict policy of never competing for any ISO’s business.
