BOSTON, Mass., March 2 /PRNewswire/ -- GetConnected(TM), Inc. (GCi), developer of the market-leading transaction processing platform enabling the sale of digital services, today announced it will hold an engineering career fair at its Boston headquarters on March 5, 2007. GCi plans to hire more than 20 additional software engineers, a sizeable increase in development staff, to support the company's continued growth. This expansion will accelerate enhancements to GCi's acclaimed architecture in order to deliver a commerce engine for the future of the digital services economy.

Integrated with more than 25 of the nation's largest service providers such as Comcast, AOL and Verizon, GCi's platform provides an end-to-end order management infrastructure that enables retailers, e-tailers and call centers to effectively sell video, voice, data and entertainment services.
