TECNOMEN RECEIVES NEXT GENERATION MESSAGING ORDER FROM SWISSCOM

Tecnomen has received a Next Generation Messaging order from Swisscom AG, and in
addition has entered into a strategic partnership with the company. The delivery
includes an upgrade to Swisscom's existing Voice Mail system that will both     
replace current call completion services as well as converge fixed and mobile   
customers onto a single platform. The deployment also includes the Tecnomen     
Telco Server, Media Gateway that provides connection to Next Generation         
Networks. The open standards basis of the NGM solution also enables Swisscom to 
connect its own applications to the Tecnomen platform, achieving significant    
consolidation benefits within Swisscoms's value added services environment.     

In addition, Swisscom and Tecnomen have entered into a strategic partnership for
developing future call completion services for Swisscom's customers.            

“Swisscom is facing an increasingly competitive environment in Switzerland. We  
are highly motivated to reduce our operational expenses as well as improve our  
ability to quickly develop and launch new services in response to dynamic market
conditions. We achieve these goals by investing in Tecnomen's NGM Platform. The 
successful long term cooperation with Tecnomen and the importance of call       
completion services encouraged us to intensify our relationship with Tecnomen   
into a more solid partnership.” says Markus Doetsch, Head of Product IT,        
Swisscom AG.                                                                    

The success of Tecnomen's strategy of providing open solutions to operators that
enable them to both consolidate and prepare their infrastructure for future     
value added services has been proven by recent NGM and Telco Server deployments 
to operators worldwide. “This agreement with Swisscom is a significant milestone
for us. It benefits our customers and ourselves to ensure further innovative    
development of services and platforms.” says Miika Reinikka, VP Messaging in    
Tecnomen.
