INFONXX Chooses Superior Accuracy of LSSi’s National Directory Database
Bethlehem, PA and Edison, NJ—Information services leader INFONXX has announced it has selected the LSSi National Directory Database as a source for its directory assistance listings.
Access to the LSSi Database enables INFONXX to further improve its high-quality services to carrier customers and their callers. The LSSi Database includes 135-million residential and business listings from the United States and Puerto Rico. This “telco-fresh” database owes its extraordinary freshness and accuracy to the fact that more than 99 percent of its listings consist of service-order-level data provided daily to LSSi by the listing owners themselves, such as local phone companies.
"LSSi's data quality and accuracy made the decision to build on our already positive relationship very easy," said Margaret Scholl, INFONXX North America CEO. "Customer-focused solutions are the heart of our business, and our life's blood is reliable data."
To keep information fresh and accurate, LSSi generates a brand-new database every business night, reflecting hundreds of thousands of changes from coast to coast that day. INFONXX further augments data from LSSi and other data sources through a unique method that’s embedded in its EDAS (Enhanced Directory Assistance System). This fundamental advantage enables INFONXX to further differentiate its successful, highly rated services.
"INFONXX has earned its reputation as a provider of the highest quality directory assistance services," said Jack McMaster, president and CEO of LSSi. "We are excited by this partnership."
"We are proud to continue and enhance our partnership with LSSi," added INFONXX's Scholl.
