Ceon, Highdeal and Visionael Launch Joint End-to-End B/OSS Solution That Seamlessly Supports New Product Delivery

At TeleManagement World 2007, Ceon, the leading provider of
product lifecycle management software; Highdeal, the world leader in
pricing and rating solutions; and Visionael, the leading provider of
next generation IP service automation and delivery management software
and services, today announced a joint end-to-end B/OSS solution. The
combined solution enables convergent service providers to seamlessly
and cost-effectively launch and manage new innovative and
combinational multi-play offerings on a regular basis. This enables
them to maximize revenue and monetize investments for their next
generation network infrastructures.

Today, carriers need to deliver new and integrated services, both
quickly and cost-effectively. They face significant challenges when
implementing service bundles that might include video content, mobile
transactions on top of the data and voice services. These include high
customer expectations for service quality, and the need to manually
make wholesale changes every time a new offering is introduced.

The new solution from Ceon, Highdeal and Visionael offers service
providers a one-stop B/OSS solution that launches new services faster,
while simultaneously reducing costs of delivery and change management.
It combines each of their core software application capabilities to
deliver an end-to-end solution to support "flow through" product
introduction. The solution includes components for service and
resource inventory, sophisticated pricing configuration, product
lifecycle/catalog management, provisioning and rating/billing.

"Introducing new products quickly and efficiently will require
operators to configure, manage and process technical and commercial
product data more seamlessly across all the systems that support their
key business operations," said Peter Burke, CEO of Ceon. "The combined
solution from Visionael, Highdeal and Ceon eliminates inconsistencies
and gaps in critical resource, pricing and product information, and
provides all the key components to enable operators to rapidly deploy
new offerings."

The new solution relies on Visionael's Systems Orchestrator,
Provisioning Services Manager, and Network Resource Manager for
product fulfillment, and modeling of physical and logical resources,
plus supported technical services. It uses Highdeal's Transactive for
defining innovative price plans in the rating application, and rating
utilized services. Ceon's Product Control Center constructs the
product offering and reflects the price plan and technical service
building blocks. The combined solution also includes components for
service and resource inventory, sophisticated pricing configuration,
product lifecycle/catalog management, provisioning and rating/billing.

"Highdeal is extremely excited to be partnering with Visionael and
Ceon. Our joint best-of-breed solution provides operators with the
right toolset to react rapidly and efficiently to market demands for
new and innovative services, products, and packages," said Eric
Pillevesse, Co-founder and CEO of Highdeal.

"Our joint solution will enable operators to launch and manage
product offerings of many variations much faster, retire products
quickly, and match them to specific market segment needs and consumer
lifestyles," said Craig Nichols, president and CEO of Visionael. "We
continue to listen to our customers and the market and are excited to
bring this joint offering to market."

Ceon, Highdeal and Visionael will be hosting a cocktail reception
at TeleManagement World 2007 in Nice on Wednesday, May 23 at 12:30
p.m. Interested parties are welcome to attend. For more information or
