Integra5's Meredith Flynn-Ripley named 2007 Mass High Tech All-Star

CEO earns telecom industry distinction with publication's 12th annual awards

BURLINGTON, Mass. – October 26, 2007 – Integra5, the pioneer in enabling service providers to blend quad-play bundles into converged services for simultaneous delivery across TVs and PCs , today announced that its Chief Executive Officer Meredith Flynn-Ripley has been named a 2007 Mass High Tech All Star by Mass High Tech magazine. Flynn-Ripley was selected as an All Star in the Telecom category from among leaders throughout New England.

This year's ceremony recognized 16 influential and dynamic leaders from across New England's innovation economy. The 2007 All Stars were recognized for their accomplishments across several technology and business sectors: Internet, Interactive Media, Media Web, Telecom, Finance, Robotics, Software, Hardware, Networks, Medical Devices, Storage, Energy, Information Systems, Life Sciences and Defense. Flynn-Ripley and the other 2007 Mass High Tech All Stars were honored at an awards ceremony and reception on Oct. 25, at the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel in Boston.

Flynn-Ripley was recognized by Mass High Tech for her role in substantially increasing Integra5's customer base since joining the company in 2005. Under her direction, Integra5's award-winning i5 Converged Services Platform (i5 CSP) is rapidly becoming the standard for enabling cable and IPTV service providers to “blend their bundle” by combining voice, video, data and wireless features into real-time converged services that drive revenue and enhance customer value.

She has helped expand the company's product line from TV Caller ID to more advanced converged services that span multiple devices – such as PC Caller ID, SMS to TV and Visual Voicemail – all powered by the ultra-scalable, network-based i5 CSP. While many operators are in the early stages of rolling out basic converged services like TV Caller ID, Integra5 customers are already one step ahead of the competition – leveraging the i5 CSP to deploy additional services, like PC Caller ID and Customer Care Alerts.   

“This award validates Integra5's leadership in the converged services market, through cutting-edge product innovation and highly skilled management, sales and engineering teams – versus the efforts of just one person,” said Meredith Flynn-Ripley, CEO of Integra5. “We are honored to be recognized for our accomplishments in the telecom arena by our peers in the Massachusetts technology community.”

Flynn-Ripley has more than 20 years of technology management experience, with the last 10 years focused exclusively on the marketing and delivery of broadband cable networks, applications and services. She has served as president and CEO of three private broadband software companies in the Boston area, and has held senior management positions at Road Runner, MediaOne and Ogilvy & Mather Direct.
