RICHARDSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 3, 2003--

Sprint Selects VoyenceControl! to Automate Network Configuration

Management and Improve Overall Service to Its Customers

Voyence(TM) Inc., a leading provider of configuration management solutions for large, heterogeneous networks, today announced that Sprint Managed Network Services (MNS) has signed a multi-year, multi-million dollar contract with the company to deploy VoyenceControl!. Sprint MNS selected Voyence because it was in need of a highly scalable network configuration management solution. Due to the sheer volume of customers, number of users, and the number of devices Sprint must manage, only VoyenceControl!, with its three-tiered architecture, was able to meet the company's scalability requirements. Sprint serves almost one thousand large and medium sized customers, and manages tens of thousands of devices.

"Sprint selected Voyence to help enable the support of business demands from our large enterprise customers," said Craig Cowden, director of Sprint MNS. "The automation and standardization features in VoyenceControl! allow Sprint customers to realize immediate and long-term benefits with a more rapid network implementation, fewer outages, streamlined network change request processing, and improved firewall security management. Integration of VoyenceControl! with the existing network management platform extends the value into Sprint's operational procedures," added Cowden.

Using VoyenceControl!, Sprint has also dramatically increased the speed by which it can deploy new services on customer networks, especially with IP-based Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). In fact, VoyenceControl! has reduced the time it takes Sprint to deploy VPNs by 75%, saving Sprint MNS and its customers a significant amount of time and money. Sprint and Voyence will deliver a solution that enables Sprint customers to access value added information such as network documentation and change reports, as well as automated-provisioning and co-management.

"Our partnership with Sprint further validates that large enterprise organizations and Managed Service Providers desperately need a network configuration management solution that is scalable and flexible enough to support complex, heterogeneous environments," said Susan Nash, president and CEO at Voyence, Inc. "Sprint understands the positive economic impact VoyenceControl! will have on its business and the enhanced services it can offer customers as a result of deploying our solution. We are proud to be associated with such a forward-thinking, innovative company."

Sprint MNS has deployed VoyenceControl! in production mode and the company has already reduced the time, resources and dollars required to effectively manage configuration changes across multiple customer networks.
