WEBWIRE

Boston/Mount Laurel/Oslo/Paris – July 6, 2005 - Netonomy, the leader in customer self-service solutions for the communications industry, and Telesciences, a leading mediation and revenue assurance provider, have announced today that they have formed a strategic alliance. As part of an OEM agreement, Telesciences will tightly integrate Netonomy’s award-winning customer self-service application, MyNetonomy, together with its mediation and revenue assurances product, Sterling Mediation. Telesciences will be targeting Voice over IP (VoIP) and convergent triple-play (voice, data and video) providers with the bundled solution, called Sterling Customer Self Service.

Service providers will rapidly realize benefits from the joint solution, through:
• Automation of back-office processes for quick deployment of new convergent services, without changes to their current billing infrastructure
• Lower implementation costs from the pre-integrated solution
• Improved customer service without increasing costs as service centers handle growing service requirements
End-users of the joint solution will benefit from a number of self-service features, including:
• Signing up for VoIP, broadband, video and other services and ordering IP phones, VoIP modems and other products
• Activating and managing new services and account information
• Resolving and reporting problems
• Viewing individual call details
• Monitoring and analyzing quality of service delivered
• Assuring service level agreements are achieved

John Loughlin, Senior Vice President of Business Development and Sales at Telesciences said, “Cable operators and other providers need to deliver high quality sales and support for new services, without raising their costs. Increasingly the preferred channel for operators and customers alike is self-service. When it came to choosing a partner for this technology, we naturally looked to Netonomy as the leaders in customer self-service for communications.”

“We are delighted to be working with Telesciences,” responded John Hughes, EVP and co-founder, Netonomy. “Bundling mediation together with self-service and e-billing will provide enormous value to convergent and VoIP service providers and their customers. Operators will be able to quickly rollout their new convergent services, while maintaining their current billing infrastructure and limiting the growth in operational costs. At the same time, customers will benefit from having greater control of their relationship and the quality of service they are receiving. Telesciences’ understanding and strength within this exciting, dynamic market make them the ideal partner to capitalize on this growing area in communications.”
