Tangoe's Global Expansion Continues; Signs Partnership with Australian Sirius Telecom Print E-mail
ORANGE, Conn., October 10, 2006—Tangoe, Inc., the leading global provider of enterprise telecommunications expense management (TEM) software and services, today announced that it has signed a strategic partnership agreement with Australian telecom service provider Sirius Telecommunications Ltd, to offer TEM solutions to its large enterprise customers in Australia and New Zealand. Sirius will be reselling Tangoe's Communications Management Platform (CMP) software solution under subscription, focusing initially on the financial services market. In addition, Sirius will offer TEM-related managed services including carrier negotiations, inventory right-sizing, invoice auditing, and carrier bill processing to its customer base.

Providing a scalable technology foundation that spans a complete range of integrated TEM processes, and driven by patented technology, Tangoe's CMP provides companies with increased visibility into, and control of, their voice, data, and wireless telecommunications spend—often the third largest expense within an organization. By utilizing Tangoe's CMP, organizations experience significant savings while better managing their telecommunications resources and their associated costs.

“Partnering with Tangoe, the acknowledged global leader in the TEM space, provides us with a tremendous opportunity,” said Frank Licciardello, group CEO at Sirius. “Our wholly-owned subsidiary Phoneware has been a leader in the call accounting market in Australasia for sixteen years, and with more than 900 customers, we are ideally positioned to bring the next generation in telecom expense management to enterprises concerned about costs and control of their voice, data, and wireless networks. Combining Tangoe's technology platform with our proven expertise in the telecom services market will enable our clients to achieve benefits that can dramatically impact their operational effectiveness and their bottom line.”

“With industry analysts predicting that the global TEM market will reach $1.5 billion by 2010, its clear that the international market is embracing the unprecedented cost and management benefits derived from the latest generation of TEM solutions,” said Rich Morrison, Tangoe VP of international operations. “As an established brand in the Australasian market, Sirius Telecommunications will provide AsiaPac enterprises with solutions that will allow them to better manage their complete telecom lifecycle and reduce telecom costs by as much as 30 percent.”
