CaseCentral, which serves 70 of the Top 100 law firms nationally, will use Qwest's managed Web hosting services in Qwest's Sacramento, Calif., CyberCenter(TM). Qwest currently provides CaseCentral with a variety of data and voice communications services.

"Qwest has been a great partner of ours for the past three years and the team's commitment to ensuring customer satisfaction is exactly what we were seeking in a communications services provider," said Paris Georgallis, vice president of technical operations at CaseCentral. "There are other hosting providers out there, but we chose Qwest not only for the reliability and quality of its services, but also because of the company's dedication to the customer."

"Our goal is to show customers that Qwest should be their one source for communications services -- from a phone line to an end-to-end managed network solution," said Clifford Holtz, Qwest executive vice president for global business markets. "And we are committed to providing the industry's best customer service to back up our network services offerings. Our customers have their core businesses to concentrate on; we'll make sure their communications networks aren't something they need to think about."
