KPMG Consulting to
Feature DSET
E-Commerce Solutions
In Digital Broadband Solutions Centers
Bridgewater, NJ - April 3, 2000 - (NASDAQ: DSET) - DSET Corporation,
a leading supplier of business-to-business e-commerce connectivity
solutions for the telecom industry, today announced that KPMG
Consulting, LLC, a leading provider of Internet integration
services, will offer DSET's software products. These products
were selected by KPMG Consulting and will now be available
for interactive demonstrations to potential customers at KPMG
Consulting's Digital Broadband Solutions Centers nationwide.
The DSET products selected by KPMG Consulting include the
ezLocal ordering gateway, which can be used by competitive
telecom service providers to facilitate service offerings
that range from conventional voice to digital subscriber line
(DSL) and other high-speed services.
"Our experience building and testing CLEC-ILEC interconnection
made it clear that new telecom service providers needed a
very rapid implementation approach to bring their new product
offerings to market," said Ray Sears, Senior Vice President,
KPMG Consulting. "Integrating the DSET gateway into our
COTS based standalone and Configure to Fit architecture solutions
allows KPMG Consulting to bring a CLEC from zero to product
launch in a quick, efficient, and cost-effective way."
"We're very pleased that KPMG Consulting has chosen
to include our solutions in its telecom architecture,"
said Bill McHale, president and chief executive officer of
DSET. "Although it's been little more than a year since
we introduced our ezLocal gateway, DSET has become the premier
supplier of pre-order, ordering, and post-order solutions
for the competitive telecom market. We're interconnecting
facilities-based carriers with trading partners in virtually
every part of the country, and our products now support UNE-P
operation to address the needs of an even larger market segment.
We look forward to an evolving relationship with KPMG Consulting
that will give people in the industry a 'hands-on' introduction
to DSET's expanding product line."
