MELVILLE, NY – July 30, 2008 – CosmoCom announced today that Telkom South Africa has chosen the CosmoCall Universe platform, the most selected product of its kind by top-tier telcos globally, to power Telkom’s new hosted contact center on-demand service. CosmoCom partnered locally with Unisys Africa, the prime contractor, and Intelleca, South Africa's fastest growing contact center solutions provider, to deliver the project. The CosmoCom platform enables Telkom to offer dedicated or shared hosted contact center services to enterprises of every size.

According to researcher Frost & Sullivan, the number of contact center agent seats in South Africa will grow 74% over the next five years. Until now, Telkom has offered traditional premise-based contact centers. The multi-tenant CosmoCall Universe platform now enables Telkom to offer hosted contact center solutions as a flexible and cost-effective on-demand service that allows customers to adjust their contact center resources to fit demand and pay only for their actual use. In addition to a robust domestic market of local and multi-national companies, South Africa is also well positioned by time zone and language skills to serve the European market.

"Telkom’s hosted IP contact center offering (HIPCC) is a service provider managed solution for completing calls and monitoring and managing contact center activity without the need for costly equipment on a customer's premises," says Godfrey Ntoele, group executive, National Sales and Marketing Operations at Telkom. "Instead of customer premise equipment, Telkom hosts the contact center management system and applications within its network and extends this capability to a customer virtually, over a broadband connection. The HIPCC product suite will differentiate Telkom by adding unique value in the growing South African contact center market, while extending its portfolio of next-generation multimedia services in a converged environment."

The local project team members have extensive experience working with Telkom. Unisys Africa will provide project management, network and systems integration, and Intelleca will provide contact center deployment services. CosmoCom will provide the contact center platform software, licenses, and ongoing software support. The new contact center system is expected to quickly expand to thousands of agents.

"Intelleca and Unisys have partnered in the past on projects for Telkom, installing networked IVR and other integrated network services, so this is a natural follow-on project for us," says Michael Renzon, CEO of Intelleca.

"Intelleca's extensive experience with the CosmoCall Universe platform complements our expertise in system integration within Telkom's communications and network infrastructure, making this an optimal project team," adds Gerald Naidoo, Global Industries executive at Unisys Africa.

"CosmoCom is very pleased to be part of this strong team for a customer of Telkom's stature," says Ari Sonesh, CEO of CosmoCom. "Our CosmoCall Universe platform will facilitate growth for Telkom in its new hosted contact center on-demand services, and will provide enterprises and outsourcer customers with the latest in advanced contact center features and capabilities."
