Reading, UK - June 10th 2009 - Unified communications software developer Mettoni has announced the acquisition of hosted telephone call accounting experts Exxcom to further enhance its portfolio of software applications for unified communications systems.

The acquisition follows many years of partnership between Exxcom and Mettoni's subsidiary companies, Arc Solutions and Datapulse, who have been offering Exxcom's hosted call accounting product alongside their existing Precision call logging solution. Both sets of products enable customers to monitor, measure and manage their telecommunications costs and allocate those expenses within their organisation. The move enables the merging of the two products to form a leading edge suite of cost management tools that will be offered as a fully hosted service, a managed solution or customer premise software.

"We have been supplying Exxcom call accounting solutions to our customers for a number of years and our businesses have grown together through the emergence of unified communications" said Iain McKenzie, Chairman, Mettoni Group. "This acquisition makes complete sense as it brings together Exxcom's expertise in the growing hosted and managed services environment together with Datapulse and Arc's leading voice application market position and rapid global expansion."

Roger England, Managing Director, Exxcom, added: "Mettoni and its subsidiary companies have an impressive pedigree and have been our main route to market for some time. This move provides us all with an ideal platform on which to grow our technology and provide customers with even more ways in which to organise control and allocate their telecommunications costs.  Having worked with the Arc and Datapulse teams closely for many years, I am delighted that Exxcom is now a member of the Mettoni Group."
