03 Feb 2009 - German Broadband Operator M-net Chooses Evolving Systems for Triple-play Service Activation

ENGLEWOOD, Colorado - Evolving Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ-EVOL), a leading provider of software solutions and services to the wireless, wireline and IP carrier market, today announced that German broadband operator, M-net Telekommunikations GmbH, has selected the Company's Tertio™ Service Activation solution for triple-play activation.

M-net provides TV, fixed, broadband and ISP services to the Bavarian region of Germany as well as mobile telephony. The carrier was providing service activation functionality using a number of internally developed activation modules which were becoming both time-consuming and costly to manage. In order to streamline the business and reduce costs, M-net decided to consolidate their current activation infrastructure into a single unified provisioning layer.

After a competitive evaluation, M-net selected Evolving Systems' Tertio Service Activation solution to provide a single convergent provisioning platform across their entire network. The deployment will be staggered with voice and internet services being provisioned initially, followed by services such as email, web space, virtual server and intelligent network services in a later stage.

"There were a number of factors that contributed to our decision to select Evolving Systems" said Markus Niedermeier, Head of Networks at M-net Telekommunikations GmbH. "The Tertio solution, which includes the Tertio™ Content Connector module, will provide us with a unified provisioning platform and the flexibility to become more self- sufficient. In addition, compliance with our requirements, deployment on Linux, VMware support, local representation and good regional references were also contributing factors" he added.

"M-net is Evolving Systems' second German broadband customer" said Thad Dupper, President and CEO of Evolving Systems. "It is an exciting time for M-net, as they look to expand their operations significantly over the next year. Evolving Systems' Tertio solution will provide them with the added flexibility required to scale and grow" he added.

Key to Profitability

An effective activation system is critical to an operator's profitability. The activation system is involved in providing every service to every subscriber - voice, data, content, information or messaging. The volume of activation transactions handled by operators is huge - and still growing. The activation system needs to support many new network technologies and increasingly complex activation processes as more data and content services are introduced.
