Interconnect Services Group

Interconnect Services Group was founded as Target Telecom in 1984 by Jon Kaufman, who remains as owner and President today. Target was an interconnect company which provided business phone systems to clients in the New York tri-state metropolitan region. In 1990 the company entered the long distance arena as a reseller of network products from several major carriers. By 1996 with a national presence, strong independent distribution channels as well as direct sales, Target had grown into TTI National, the largest WorldCom reseller, with annual sales of $80 million. In 1996 WorldCom purchased the TTI National name and customer base, and hired ISG to run the business for several years. When WorldCom finally migrated the customer base to its own systems, ISG retariffed under the NBS name (Network Billing Systems) and reentered the long distance market.

With its own systems for electronic provisioning, customer care, and flexible billing, ISG interfaces with several major carriers including WorldCom, Qwest, Global Crossing, and Focal. ISG provides support for its own retail customer base as well as back-office support for wholesale clients ranging from small resellers to large carriers. ISG also maintains its own switches for calling card, debit card, and specialized applications. ISG still leads the field with knowledgeable personnel and sophisticated systems designed to support agents.

Today ISG provides a wide variety of telecommunications products to a diverse customer base that includes residential, small business, and large corporate clients. ISG remains privately held, debt free, and profitable.
