Telcordia Integrated Inventory Wins IEC InfoVision Award

Telcordia announced today that Telcordia Integrated Inventory, the
powerful combination of its market leading Telcordia(R) Granite
Inventory and Telcordia(R) Network Engineer solutions, has been named
the 2008 InfoVision Awards winner in the Network and Services
Management and Operations category. The award, presented by the
International Engineering Consortium (IEC) at Broadband World Forum,
recognizes technologies, applications, products, advances, and
services judged to be the most unique and beneficial to the
telecommunications industry and consumers globally.

"Telcordia Integrated Inventory offers a strategic advantage to
operators worldwide," said Michael Anderson, President, Global
Solutions, Telcordia. "Telcordia has long held the view that the
industry needs an approach that goes way beyond point solutions and
offers a more comprehensive approach that helps them understand their
network, manage it effectively, but most importantly, prepare it for
the dynamic demands of IP and subscriber service demands. Operators
need a strategic partner to help guide their network evolution and we
believe this view has been validated with this industry
acknowledgement."

Telcordia Integrated Inventory combines detailed, real-time
logical and physical inventory data to provide a single, federated
view that is necessary for operators to make rapid and far reaching
business decisions on how to use their network to deliver new
services. In a world where operators must meet subscriber demand to
offer IP-based services quickly, efficiently and effectively,
Telcordia enables them to make instant decisions based on complex
business rules. By streamlining and automating multiple business
processes into a single, coherent process to ensure that the network
is fully utilized, services are delivered rapidly and the underlying
network architecture is optimized for delivering those services. As a
result, operators realize faster order cycle times, less rework, fewer
truck rolls, and increased customer satisfaction by fulfilling the
orders correctly the first time, every time, leading to increased
profitability.

"We'd like to congratulate Telcordia for its Integrated Inventory
that was chosen for this highly-competitive, prestigious InfoVision
Award," commented IEC Vice President of Conference Development Tom
Costello. "I'm sure these innovative products and services will have a
long-lasting positive impact on the industry and we look forward to
customers enjoying the benefits of these innovations."

Winning this industry award is further validation of Telcordia's
innovative approach. The winners were selected by a panel of judges
chosen from the Broadband World Forum Europe 2007 Technical Program
Committee. Entries were judged on value of service, overall quality of
innovation and contribution to technology advancement, originality and
vision, contribution towards positive industry growth and service,
market success and contribution to end-user quality-of-experience and
service efficiency.
