Business Editors & Technology Writers

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 2, 2000

Cambio, Inc. (OTCBB:CAMB) today announced a partnership with Information + Graphics Systems, Inc. This partnership includes the collaboration between Cambio and IGS on the Telemanagement Forum's Plug-n-Play Integrated Multi-System Management Catalyst Project.

The Plug-n-Play program is working to provide integrated solutions that enable service providers to gain market share through competitive differentiation, obtain new revenue sources ahead of the competition, and leverage new capabilities quickly.

This partnership responds to the needs from the telecommunications industry to optimize new product time-to-market processes and enhance the customer experience with efficient flow through business processes. Cambio's netRunner.com(TM) family of products provides a comprehensive network management solution and is structured to be flexible, enabling the ability to fit the various needs of OSS environments and can be easily integrated to other applications in end-to-end OSS solutions. IGS provides innovative software development, implementation, and system integration services to customers in the telecommunications market. IGS' eJai(TM) is an Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) Java product capable of working with any full-featured middleware to perform protocol-neutral object model transformation services. eJai minimizes application adapter coding and maximizes reuse of integration rules across middleware and OSS application vendors. Compatible with UML modeling tools, eJai imports class diagrams as common information models (CIM) and maintains these mappings for each OSS application.

Ali Al-Dahwi, President and CEO, said, "This partnership with IGS provides the catalyst for creating a common integration framework that the industry is demanding for end to end OSS Solutions. The netRunner.com(TM) family of products continues to evolve providing service providers easy to use solutions while sustaining their needs in time-to-market and cost-effective processes."

Dave Appel, Vice President of Integration Solutions for IGS, said, "The opportunity to define TMF common model mappings for Cambio's product line truly extends the concept of current EAI pair-wise integrations for network inventory. Defining transformations in eJai's Java environment enables IGS to leverage TMF common models and Cambio to integrate faster across middleware platforms."

netRunner Configuration Management/Provisioning(TM) is designed to directly improve the telecommunication's time to service metrics. Its end to end network modeling capabilities, ease of operations, bandwidth management, provisioning, and field operations allows users and managers to streamline workflow and manage network information accurately, assisting them in enhancing their capital utilization. netRunner CMP(TM) integrates to other applications such as HP's OpenView Communications/Service Assurance, and Changengine. It runs on Windows 95/98(TM) or Windows NT(TM) operating systems and supports an industry standard relational database running on Windows or UNIX environments.
