Cistera Networks Broadens Sales Channel By Joining New Cisco Partnership Network.

Discounts and other incentives reward partners for integrating Cistera's enterprise applications

DALLAS -- Cistera Networks, Inc.[R] (OTCBB: CNWT), a leading provider of enterprise application platforms and engines for IP Communications, today announced that it has strengthened its enterprise sales channel by joining Cisco's Industry Solutions Partner Network (ISPN). Cistera is now an authorized Cisco ISPN partner for vertical markets including government, education, healthcare, finance and retail. This should create significant new sales opportunities because Cisco partners now have new incentives to sell Cistera application services that leverage Cisco's intelligent networking infrastructure.

The Cisco ISPN engages, enables and rewards a global community of channel partners, application providers and device manufacturers to jointly deliver industry-specific solutions that address the business needs of customers. For the first time ever, Cisco is offering resellers additional discounts for incorporating solutions from select, pre-qualified Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) such as Cistera Networks.

Also, to further enhance its channel program, Cistera has named Darlene Smith as global channel programs manger to focus on the Cisco ISPN, and other programs designed to increase partner revenue contribution and profitability. Smith has an extensive background in electronics, having developed her skills in the U.S. Navy, working with various communication networks. Her civilian telecommunications background includes sales management positions for Ericsson and Ericsson Hewlett-Packard, where she consistently built profitable alliances.

"Cisco recently completed an independent study concluding that resellers significantly increase their profitability and customers see enhanced return on investment for their IP Communications purchase when a business application is added to the IP phone system solution offering," said Derek Downs, president and CEO of Cistera Networks. "We're proud to be one of the first ISVs selected by Cisco to drive the ISPN initiative. We are already seeing very positive results from our participation in the program."

Cistera demonstrated its application services at Cisco's ISPN Worldwide launch in Dublin, Ireland, with an IP Communications success story highlighting the city of Opelika, Ala. (related video available at http://www.cistera.com/go/ispn).

Cistera, a Cisco Unified Communications enterprise application services provider, and Digitel Corporation, a Cisco channel partner, provided a complete Event Alerting and Notification solution for Opelika with application services delivered via the award-winning Cistera ConvergenceServer[TM]. Using this solution, Opelika's city services and emergency personnel can now communicate with each other seamlessly over the Cisco Unified Communications system, while digitally recording and archiving each transmission. Emergency response is faster and more efficient, while post-event analysis is now possible due to the recording and archiving features.

"Without a doubt, applications are driving this market forward, and through programs like Cisco's ISPN, Cistera will have more opportunities to collaborate with Cisco partners," Downs added. "The ISPN program benefits Cistera and creates value for partners who can differentiate themselves from competitors by offering our enterprise application services, enabling them to solve complex business problems that no one else can address."
