Cross-Industry 2009 Wins for Asentinel Confirm Leadership in Managed, Professional Services

Customers Choose Asentinel for Full-Service Telecom Expense Management Solutions

MEMPHIS, Tennessee (January 14, 2010) – Asentinel, a leader in the Telecom Expense Management space since introducing its groundbreaking software solution in 2001, is showing its prowess once again by winning customers from a broad cross-section of industries in 2009 based on its stellar Managed and Professional Services suite of solutions.

In 2009, Asentinel won a wide variety of customers who sought Managed and Professional Services, self-managed, and/or Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) solutions to meet their telecom needs, while still providing cutting-edge TEM technology through its Asentinel 6.0 software, for which the company is well-known.

"Asentinel is uniquely qualified to handle TEM needs across various industries," said David C. Perdue, Asentinel CEO. "Our highly configurable software powers everything we do, allowing our Managed and Professional Services to fill the need where companies need it most. Our recent customer wins, in this economy, further validate our decision to expand our solution set to include Managed and Professional Services and BPO."

Among the new Asentinel customers are three organizations with different TEM needs, each of which chose Asentinel for its superior Managed and Professional Services:

• Customer: Fortune 150 company that required best-in-class enterprise software and a best-in-class team to manage the company’s daily TEM in an outsourcing infrastructure.
  Asentinel Provided: From policy and plan management, to implementation and application configuration, Asentinel handled this company’s full range of TEM needs. This company required 100 percent invoice management, auditing, dispute management, business intelligence and analytics for executive reporting, forecast and budget preparation, and detailed cost reports for each cost center manager. Asentinel was able to deliver a fully-configured solution to the exact requirements of the company – both from a people and a technology perspective.
• Customer: A retailer with 12,995 locations throughout the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany that required superior Managed and Professional Services to handle thousands of invoices from various carriers each month.

Asentinel also works with the client to consolidate the thousands of invoices received each month into one centralized repository, where data and reports are available 24/7 in real-time for review and approval.
• Customer: A leader in communications, engineering and integration solutions for defense, commercial and government industries.

"We were able to win these new customers and others in the 2009 economy because of our breadth of knowledge and experience in Managed and Professional Services, as well as the world-class technology Asentinel 6.0 uses to power all of our solutions," said Perdue.
