Daleen Scores Another Key Win With Regional Data and Voice

Competitive Local Exchange Services Provider

Daleen Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: DALN), a leading provider of eBusiness solutions, announced today that it has been chosen to provide its BillPlex(R) customer management and billing software system to IP Communications (IPC), a fast-growing, Dallas-based provider of high-speed network and Internet access solutions for residential and business customers. This important win builds upon a series of customer awards for Daleen in the DSL market, which is one of the fastest-growing segments of the communications service provider market.

New Paradigm Resources Group (NPRG) predicts that the DSL market in the US will grow to $36 billion in 2005, or over 40% of the total market for local exchange services. &uot;The convergence of voice and data will continue to rise over the next few years, increasing revenues while decreasing the costs of deployment. DSL affords data services to small and mid-sized businesses and residential customers and affords a data strategy to CLECs who see enormous opportunities in the market for convergent services,&uot; said Steven Weinberg, Analyst with NPRG.

IP Communications' network is expanding into 125 markets within Texas and will grow rapidly into other states. By March, the company anticipates that its services will be available to more than five million businesses and households.

IPC was founded to offer enhanced services at competitive rates with local support, providing access to the Internet, corporate Intranets, frame relay networks, and voice communications services. The company offers a variety of high-speed data and voice services from 128 Kbps to more than 6 Mbps, including: symmetric DSL (SDSL), ISDN DSL (ISDL), asymmetric DSL (ADSL), and G.Lite a recently approved International Telecommunication Union standard that supports concurrent data and analog voice over the local copper loop.

For residential customers, IPC's services are ordered through Internet Service Providers (ISPs) or Network Service Providers (NSPs). To ensure a high level of customer service, IPC will be electronically linked with its ISP and NSP partners to facilitate quick and accurate service provisioning.

IPC's Rick Barry, Vice President Information Systems, commented about the recent selection, &uot;We chose BillPlex because it will allow us to support our aggressive deployment plans for integrated data and feature-rich telephony services. Our requirements for a billing solution included the flexibility to handle complex usage-based IP services and BillPlex was the best choice. Its scalability and convergent nature will enhance our ability to provide our customers with integrated, high-speed voice and data services now and into the future.&uot;

&uot;The high-speed DSL market is one of the fastest-growing, most exciting segments of the communications market, and IP Communications is a key player,&uot; said Dave Corey, president and chief operating officer of Daleen Technologies. &uot;IPC's selection further confirms that BillPlex it is a perfect match for DSL providers that have aggressive growth plans and a need for truly convergent and scalable billing and customer management solution that supports complex usage-based IP and data services. We're looking forward to working with IP Communications and are committed to their future success.&uot;
