Intec signs its biggest Middle East deal with Lebanon's GSM operator Alfa



London/Beirut, 28 September 2007: Intec, a global provider of Operations Support
Systems (OSS) for fixed, wireless, and IP/Next Generation networks, today
announced that it has signed a multi-million dollar deal in Lebanon with
government owned GSM provider Alfa. Under the terms of the agreement Intec will
supply Alfa with its integrated customer care, charging and billing solution, a
scalable business support system designed to meet the growing demands of today's
wireless operators.  Alfa has selected the Intec Mobile Business Solution,
including its Singl.eViewTM Customer Management, Billing and Financial
Assurances modules which, combined, will help Alfa manage the customer care and
billing of its latest value-added, next generation services as well as offer
integrated charging, invoicing and reporting across its network. The contract is
the biggest that Intec has ever signed in the Middle East and is the result of a
successful collaborative effort with its strategic regional partner Midware Data
Systems (MDS), a leading provider of IT infrastructure solutions and services.



"The decision to upgrade our network with Intec's Mobile Business Solution is
testimony to our commitment to best serve our customers," said Ms. Ineke Botter,
Managing Director and CEO of Alfa. "The installation of Intec Mobile Business
Solution and its core modules will give us the billing flexibility and
scalability to roll out the most advanced service offerings that we are planning
to launch in the course of 2008. Upgrading our billing system is a sound
investment for our future business growth and we look forward to using Intec's
technology to help us deliver a continuous high quality of service."



Alfa is one of two GSM providers offering wireless services in Lebanon and is
managed by Fal Dete Telecommunications, which is a joint venture between Detecon
International, a wholly owned subsidiary of T-Systems (Deutsche Telekom) and Fal
Holdings Arabia, a Saudi-based Company. As Lebanon's telecommunication industry
prepares for future deregulation, Alfa's investment in Intec's technology will
help the operator to compete in an open market with lower operating costs,
improved efficiency and better priced services for customers. This will be
achieved by using Intec's solution to replace Alfa's existing legacy system,
which is expensive to run and offers limited flexibility to bill customers for
different services. Intec's powerful, automated solution is capable of managing
different network systems efficiently and in real-time, and will help Alfa to
deliver seamless and accurate bills to its growing customer base.



"Despite the economic and political challenges that Lebanon recently faced, the
country is on track with rebuilding and modernising its mobile infrastructure
and reclaiming its status as the commercial and financial centre of the Middle
East," explains Christian Ciupek, Intec's regional Business Development Director
for Africa and the Middle East. "Intec is proud to be part of the redevelopment
of the country's communications sector, which is still one of the most forward
thinking and progressive in the region, and we are confident that Alfa will be
pleased with the commercial results that our technology will provide."



Lebanon's recent political turbulence has not deterred investment into the
country, thanks to its reputation as a resilient and reliable commercial hub in
the Middle East. Since 1994, the nation has been a pioneer in wireless
communications, becoming one of the first countries in the Middle East to build
GSM networks and to become a well-established market for the latest value-added
services such as GPRS and WiFi. Further breakthroughs have also occurred in 2007
with the introduction of DSL broadband and the appointment of a regulatory
authority to assist in the deregulation of the communications sector.



Mr. Ciupek explains how Intec's solution will help Alfa prepare for Lebanon's
future in a liberalized mobile market, particularly with regard to the
competition it will bring with the entry of new GSM operators: "Intec is
renowned throughout the industry as a provider of world class, flexible and
future-proof charging & billing technology. With the help of Intec's Mobile
Business Solution, Alfa will have the chance to lower operating costs through
more effective billing and invoicing, and to use this extra saving to invest in
new services, which will ultimately help the operator stay ahead of competitors.
"



Intec's win in the Middle East was facilitated by its partnership with MDS, a
strategic integration specialist in the region and a key contact for Intec as it
continues to expand its operation in Lebanon and its neighboring countries. "
Intec has created a formidable alliance with MDS and we believe that this
partnership will play an important role in our future in the Middle East," added
Mr. Ciupek. "MDS's professionalism and expertise is impressive and we look
forward to many more successful wins together."
