Experience with outsourced telco tier 1 support, Jcurve?

We're considering using a company known as JCurve (www.jcurve.com) to fulfill Broadsoft customer and telco outage initial issues after-hours and relieve some of the strain on our on-call staff. If anyone has used this company and has relevant feedback that they could share, please contact me off-list. Similarly, if there's another company that they recommend, that information is appreciated as well.

They are local to me and have a strong reputation, but I have not been their customer. They are considering buying SIP connectivity from us and our engineers have been out there. From that perspective they run a solid operation and really seem to take quality seriously (they are not at all trying to cheap out on engineering).

We had looked seriously at them a couple years ago and were generally impressed but ultimately decided against using them because [1] they required direct access to our internal systems and we were not willing to grant such access and [2] we had concerns with their ability to scale and continue a high level of service. The scalability comment is related to #1 because as they grow their people would need to be adept at many, many different CRM and/or ticketing systems. I am not sure if this is still how they operate but was how they were doing it a few (3-ish?) years ago. If they had used a single system for themselves and instead were willing to write a web service to connect to their customers' systems we probably would have done business with them.
