Press Release Body = Bangalore,29th November 2006 -LogicaCMG has today announced the
latest release of its Short Message Service Centre, the Next Generation IP SMSC,
incorporating new unique, market-leading features and best ever price-performance.
The new release is completely IMS-ready and entirely interoperable with fixed and
mobile Instant Messaging (IM) platforms, fully preparing operators today for the
future demands of messaging - at twice the speed than before.



LogicaCMG's Next Generation IP SMSC is the most feature-rich solution available in
the market globally. Its unrivalled feature set includes IM interoperability,
extended personalisation for users, advanced content provider support, marketing
reporting and operational management. In contrast to some industry views that SMSCs
are a 'legacy' solution, LogicaCMG is applying its leading messaging domain
expertise to ensure high levels of SMSC innovation, now enabling network operators
to pro-actively link SMS to internet-based messaging.



With the advent of mobile IM, global SMS traffic growth is predicted to continue
until at least 2010* and LogicaCMG's latest SMSC release caters for this by
processing messages at twice the speed for a significantly reduced cost. Future
price-performance improvements are guaranteed due to the use of industry-standard
Intel Itanium based multi-core processing platforms.



Operators are under increasing competitive pressure and they are looking to exploit
internet opportunities. They need, therefore, to differentiate their SMS offerings
in order to sustain revenue growth. LogicaCMG's new SMSC release meets this operator
need through a rule-based service logic capability which provides a high level of
flexibility in managing and personalising the subscriber's SMS experience, in
addition to efficiently introducing differentiated charging and value-added
services.



Henk de Boer, senior vice president, mobile messaging, at LogicaCMG, said: "As
operators prepare for the convergence of networks and services, the ability to
innovate and improve existing services such as SMS is crucial in order to stay ahead
in this competitive environment. We are convinced that service differentiation and
personalisation are key to ensure continued messaging success and our latest SMSC
release is an indispensable component in this evolution. With over 17 years of
experience in SMS research and development LogicaCMG is already the undisputed SMS
expert globally and we want to continue to lead the market by introducing cutting
edge platforms, advanced features and concerted efforts in helping operators
increase growth in this area."
