Satyam (NYSE: SAY), a leading global business and information technology services company, is participating as a silver sponsor at the Management World Middle East, an event organized by TM Forum, the world's leading trade association that focuses on the world of communications, information and entertainment services. The company is showcasing its end-to-end telecoms solutions and proven expertise in integrated BSS/Billing, service and network assurance, telecom analytics and next-gen telco portals and platforms at the event, which opened yesterday (March 3, 2008) at the Le Meridien Hotel, Dubai. Under the theme, 'Delivering Winning Solutions for Service Operations', the three-day forum focuses on the increasing opportunities in the highly active telecoms sector.       

As an end-to-end systems integrator for communication service providers, Satyam is showcasing the Telco xPress, which offers pre-integrated solutions for telecommunication companies to acquire customers, provision services, generate revenues and manage businesses. In addition, Bhanu Murthy Nallagonda, Practice Head - BSS/OSS and Digital Convergence served as a panelist at the 'Revenue Management Assurance' debate session, which was held on the first day. Further, the company is also highlighting its undertakings with the telecom sector, the most recent of which involved implementations of large co-sourced and outsourced engagements in BSS/OSS systems integration, service/subscriber portals, analytics and decision support, IT consulting, and application development and maintenance.

"The telecommunications sector in the Middle East is at its peak, offering outstanding opportunities for service providers to maximize the highly favorable market climate by introducing innovative management solutions, which support telecom companies amidst the increasing number of customers," said  Virender Aggarwal, Director and Sr. Vice President for Satyam's Asia-Pacific, Middle East, India and Africa operations. "Through our participation in this event, we expect to expand our current networks, broaden our perspective on the current market scenario through the outstanding array of services, which will be showcased at the event, and generate significant awareness for our own high value service offerings."

In addition to an exhibition of the latest technology-driven solutions from various companies, the event also features conferences and training sessions to provide its visitors with the latest industry facts, and professional advice on how to build winning management solutions to remain profitable within the ever-growing market. Further, the forum will reveal findings from real-world case studies of highly successful telecom companies such as Vodafone, Etisalat, Sabafon, STC and Zain and the advantages of implementing TM Forum technical programs within their operations. With the presence of the biggest names in the global telecoms industry, the organiser expects a larger presence of service providers in the 2008 edition of the event, which is being projected to exceed the participation of 75 companies last year.

TR Anand, Director and Senior Vice President, Head - Telecom, Infrastructure, Media and Entertainment Business Unit, said, "This decade is one of the most exciting times for the telecommunications business, especially in the Middle East and Africa. The breadth and depth of services now available to consumers is driven by both business and technology innovation, and we are proud to be a systems integration partner that builds a top notch range of service delivery platforms for leading telecom service providers in the region."

"Our participation in this high impact event is part of our aggressive movement towards establishing Satyam as a leading name not only in the telecom sector but also across the region's fastest growing industries. The outstanding profile of this event complements the assertive manner by which we intend to build our reputation in the regional market, and we are optimistic that our presence will afford us significant mileage to further augment our standing among regional and global clients," concluded Aggarwal.

Satyam recently announced that it has achieved over 100 per cent growth in its year-on-year revenues and added over 20 per cent in its quarter-on-quarter numbers for the third quarter of its fiscal year 2007-2008, which marks the highest jump in revenues for the company in its 12 years in the region.
