Brookside's U.S. Voice & Data Subsidiary Secures Communication Technology Agreement With Payment Alliance International

Brookside Technology Holdings Corp

. ("Brookside" or the "Company") (OTCBB: BKSD) 

U.S. Voice & Data

 subsidiary is pleased to announce that it has secured a contract with 

Payment Alliance International (PAI)

 to implement new communications technologies for its four PAI Operating Centers in the United States. This decision comes after several months of identifying business opportunities within the Company's existing systems, researching available options, and ultimately choosing a networked system of 

NEC

 platforms to serve centers in 

Louisville

, KY, 

W. Palm Beach

, FL, 

Billings

, MT and 

Jackson

, MS populated by 

260 employees

 and servicing in excess of 

80,000 customers

.

PAI, the world's largest ATM Management Services company looked to address numerous issues including: disparate phone systems at each remote location, three separate contact centers with limited contact center applications, no failover option or survivability in the event of failure, and increasing operating costs for outdated technology.

"U.S. Voice & Data, NEC, and Zeacom worked as a team to address each one of PAI's concerns," commented Brookside President, George Pacinelli. "As a result of these efforts, PAI will now enjoy a multitude of benefits including, but not limited to: 'single image' system, extension to extension dialing across their enterprise, (eliminating long distance calling charges between locations), centralized voice mail / unified messaging platform, routing of calls to personnel based on skill sets; reporting on the efficiency and productivity of the handling of calls, faxes, emails, and chat sessions and a communications system that is completely survivable in the case of an outage at or between locations."

"Working with USV&D and NEC on this new communication solution will not only drastically reduce overall monthly spending, but it will assuredly make the entire company more efficient, give managers better information, and provide access to applications to significantly improve customer service and increase sales," said Gregory Sahrmann, COO of Payment Alliance International. Mr. Sahrmann continued, "Furthermore, the flexibility and scalability offered by the new NEC platform will more than accommodate the significant growth that PAI foresees in the near future. Simply put, we're thrilled to now have the opportunity to experience what US Voice and Data refers to as 'Telefficiency™.'"
