companies around the world to realize rapid cost savings and better manage

their wireless and wireline TEM processes. First introduced in 2006,

eXPERTSolutions is now powered by Rivermine 6.0, the latest version of the

award-winning and patent-pending Rivermine software platform, which was

also announced today (see separate press release on version 6.0).

“With an ever-tightening economy, it is imperative that organizations look

to reduce telecom costs — a top 10 corporate expense — through our

turnkey managed services,” said Mark Logan, president and CEO, Rivermine.

“Our eXPERTSolutions packages offer all of the automation, visibility and

control of market-leading TEM software plus the convenience and

efficiencies of managed services.”

To help organizations quickly realize cost savings, Rivermine’s new

eXPERTSolutions managed service packages streamline the customer decision

and deployment process. They utilize Rivermine 6.0, which includes new

features to expedite back-end integration and overall configuration.

eXPERTSolutions can be tailored to meet customer-specific business needs

and a seamless upgrade path ensures that organizations starting at one

package level can easily upgrade to another as their requirements evolve.

“The next step in the maturation of the TEM market is a programmatic

approach to selling service bundles,” said Eric Goodness, research vice

president, Gartner. “TEM customers will benefit from the ease of buying

managed service packages that fit their requirements without incurring the

costs of custom solutions.”

Rivermine 6.0 software automates many functions associated with enterprise

telecom order management, invoice processing and auditing, inventory

management, dispute management and reporting/analytics. The new

eXPERTSolutions packages augment Rivermine 6.0 with the following

capabilities:

--  eXPERTSilver: Provides hosted Rivermine TEM software along with

    Rivermine experts performing invoice acquisition, validation and loading

    services.

    and enterprise-wide helpdesk support. eXPERTWireless can be added to any of

    Platinum packages previously described, eXPERTGlobal gives customers the

    ability to view system screens in their native languages, including double-

    byte characters, and supports 183 global invoice formats, as well as over

    100 currencies.
