Primal Solutions, Inc. and TMNG Partner to Tackle the Challenges of IP Transaction Management

Alliance Enables MSOs to Deliver New IP-Based Services and Revenue Recognition

Primal Solutions (OTC BB: PSOL), the leading provider of IP transaction platforms, and The Management Network Group (TMNG) (NASDAQ: TMNG), a leading provider of management consulting services to the global communications industry, today announced a new strategic partnership. This relationship combines Primal Solutions' IP Correlytics(TM) platform with TMNG's Digital Services Assurance(TM) program to deliver a revenue assurance solution for the cable industry as it moves to sustain market leadership in an aggressively competitive marketplace.

In this new environment, cable operators and other advanced communications and new media companies are offering new IP-based services and content. Increasingly, delivery of these new services necessitates complex relationships and delivery models that create revenue assurance challenges. The TMNG and Primal Solutions partnership addresses these challenges by offering an end-to-end program designed to maximize revenues, by linking all stages of product planning and deployment, to ensure successful launch, operations, and profitability.

"We are very excited about this relationship because TMNG and Primal Solutions bring together the technology, people, processes and professional services required to address these complex and growing business challenges," said Bob Richardson, executive vice president of operations at Primal Solutions, Inc. "By coupling TMNG's experience in revenue assurance and strategic consulting with Primal Solutions' IP Correlytics platform and solution delivery services, we now offer comprehensive solutions to enable cable providers to more effectively manage transactions and assure revenues and margins."

Today, ensuring accurate charges from trading partners is a growing challenge, churn is fast becoming an issue for Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP), and consumers are increasingly intolerant of IP-service delivery problems. As operators continue to roll out new services that leverage the power of today's IP networks, these challenges will only increase as operators encounter transaction management and revenue assurance problems created by the complexities of these new services and the business models by which they are delivered. Only Primal Solutions and TMNG together offer a total solution for understanding and simplifying IP transaction management and for assuring revenues and margin from those transactions.

"After listening to our MSO clients, TMNG chose Primal Solutions because we believe its IP Correlytics platform is best in its class, and unique in its abilities to enable our clients to maintain the integrity of their revenue streams as they launch new voice, video, high speed data and content services," said Bill Opet, principal and vice president of TMNG's cable practice. "Primal Solutions' technology will power TMNG's Revenue Assurance solution, part of its Digital Services Assurance (DSA) program, the first-of-its-kind to provide end-to-end professional services and solutions for cable companies in North America and the United Kingdom."
