CINCINNATI— Axcess Financial, one of the original payday lenders in the short term loan industry, awarded Contingent Network Services a three year contract to manage its Store Wide Area Network. Contingent will manage and proactively monitor approximately 1000 Axcess Financial locations under its popular EverWorX Managed WAN Service.
Axcess Financial is among the rapidly growing number of national and super regional specialty retailers that have abandoned their expensive and over-engineered wide area networks for fully customized, “hand-crafted,” internet-based, IPsec VPNs (virtual private networks). Contingent’s EverWorX line of Managed WAN services is PCI compliant and each version of the EverWorX network is uniquely designed to meet the exact needs of the client for whom it is deployed.
The EverWorX network is delivered with 99% uptime guarantee, automatic outage credits, 100% coverage at a flat monthly price. For Axcess Financial, the EverWorX Solution also enables services at its locations, distributed across 31 states, to be invoiced under a single bill. The deployment, which started in early 2010, provides the flexibility for Axcess Financial to host the network core in their data center while being managed and administered by Contingent. Through the customized EverWorX solution Contingent was able to reduce the cost and complexity of securely connecting distributed locations thus helping Axcess Financial improve its security, productivity and profitability.
EverWorX enables organizations to streamline their communications and maximize productivity. The service can provide for 100% coverage throughout North America with a comprehensive, scalable and worry-free package that combines all elements of design, deployment and support for a single or multi-site voice and data network with NO capital investment. Unlike other competitive systems, EverWorX provides more than telecommunications aggregation. It is a best-in-class, turn-key solution that can be fully customized to fill gaps or outsource entire network operations. Most importantly, EverWorX provides a 99% UPTIME GUARANTEE that protects clients from service interruption, regardless of the underlying carriers. If service is interrupted, the client does not pay, period.
