28 Jan 2005 - Evolving Systems Extends Its Leadership of the North American LNP Market With the Launch of LsmsXpress™

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 the launch of LsmsXpress™ - a product targeted for carriers looking to reduce the total cost of ownership for their number portability routing requirements.

The LsmsXpress solution is a full function, small footprint Local Service Management System (LSMS) that provides the interface between the Number Porting Administration Center (NPAC) and the network elements that route calls. It is designed to meet the needs of carriers who want to manage core Local Number Portability (LNP) functions in-house rather than using a service bureau.

A vendor independent solution, LsmsXpress employs an OSI stack optimized specifically for LNP transactions which, combined with its low overhead, enables carriers to implement the LNP provisioning process cost-effectively and efficiently. Evolving Systems also offers a suite of services for carriers looking to transition from the service bureau environment to a cost-effective in-house LSMS solution.

"LsmsXpress expands our portfolio to meet the needs of cost conscious carriers. It is the result of integrating product assets gained from our acquisition of Telecom Software Enterprises in 2004 with Evolving Systems' extensive experience in delivering number portability solutions," commented Stephen Gartside, president and chief executive officer of Evolving Systems. "The first deployment of LsmsXpress occurred this past December and we are already seeing a great deal of interest from the market."

Evolving Systems is the leading provider of numbering solutions, with a wide portfolio of number portability products and services deployed at carriers across North America.

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.
