Fortune 150 Manufacturer Selects Asentinel for Telecom Expense Management

MEMPHIS, Tennessee, May 6, 2006 - One of the world's leading Manufacturing corporations has selected Asentinel's patent-pending software for telecom expense management (TEM), David C. Perdue, Asentinel CEO, announced today. The Fortune 150 company employs more than 50,000 people around the world and boasts more than 300 locations in North America and Europe.

"This company chose Asentinel to manage TEM based on our significant experience working with Fortune 500 companies," said Perdue. "Asentinel's reputation for strong customer service and its ability to support the entire TEM life cycle made it the perfect TEM solution."

Asentinel will satisfy the four major pillars of a complete TEM solution for this company: invoice processing, inventory management, service provisioning/change management and Web-based reporting. The Asentinel solution will support all telecom assets, including wireline, wireless, data and equipment.

Asentinel's customer-hosted deployment model will directly integrate with the company's financial management systems and other enterprise applications, allowing the company to see immediate results. The knowledge, power, control and automation gained from using the Asentinel software will improve employee efficiency and lower cost, adding to the company's overall bottom line.

Written in Java, the Asentinel software automates the process of telecom invoice management in real time, analyzing every invoice against vendor contracts, hidden costs, active inventory, and flagging every exception. Since these errors often reoccur each month and can go back for years, getting an expedient return on investment from Asentinel is not difficult. In the long term, clients' ongoing telecom expenses also decline while internal processing time is greatly reduced.

Asentinel's Web-based software has more than 50 cumulative years of development behind it. Asentinel continues to grow its list of Fortune 1000 companies and government entities that realize the power of automated telecom expense management.
