BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 25, 2000

Daleen Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: DALN), a leading provider of eBusiness solutions, and BusinessEdge Solutions Inc., a leading provider of eBusiness integration services and solutions, announced today a strategic alliance to provide BillPlex(R) customer management and billing software as part of a comprehensive eBusiness-enabled, Operations Support System solution for the telecommunications industry. In addition, BusinessEdge is a member of Daleen's Business Alliance Partner Program as a certified systems integrator providing development, project, implementation services for all of Daleen's e-business solutions. Daleen and BusinessEdge have worked closely together to provide convergent solutions for many integrated communications providers who offer both voice and data services. Joint customers include Gabriel Communications, FairPoint Communications, and Local Gateway Exchange.

In addition to their joint customer initiatives, BusinessEdge has selected Daleen's BillPlex solution as part of BusinessEdge's velOSSity.com, a state-of-the-art, eBusiness and OSS Integration center. BusinessEdge will premier the velOSSity.com center at the TeleStrategies OSS 2000 Conference, January 31 and February 1 in Orlando, Florida. Daleen will join BusinessEdge and a select group of partners in presenting the world's first live demonstration of web-enabled flow-through provisioning for communications services. A live demonstration of phase one of the velOSSity.com solution will be showcased at the Orlando Conference. This will include web-based flow-through ordering and provisioning through an Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier (ILEC) gateway, and package integration through enterprise application integration (EAI) middleware technologies.

&uot;Daleen has shown itself to be a leader in the OSS eBusiness market space,&uot; said Charles Perry, BusinessEdge principal. &uot;We chose BillPlex because it's a proven solution for carriers that have aggressive growth plans and require a flexible solution that offers support for voice, complex data and IP usage-based services. BillPlex's market-based packages allow us to provide rapid integration to third-party software, and the openness of the product architecture will allow carriers to adapt more quickly to the rate of industry change.&uot; He continued, &uot;These factors are crucial in providing a comprehensive solution that effectively integrates customer management and billing functions into an overall OSS strategy.&uot;

&uot;We are excited about our strategic relationship with BusinessEdge and are impressed with their commitment and demonstrated ability to deliver highly integrated OSS &eBusiness solutions,&uot; said Dave Corey, Daleen president and COO. &uot;The velOSSity.com concept is a major step forward in evolution of a fully automated end-to-end system, and we are pleased that BusinessEdge has recognized the strength of the BillPlex product and included it as part of their comprehensive solution. We look forward to continuing to work closely with BusinessEdge as they develop leading edge business solutions for our customers.&uot;
