Epiphany, Inc. (Nasdaq:EPNY), a leading provider of customer relationship management (CRM) solutions for consumer-oriented businesses, today announced that Transatel, a leading European Mobile Virtual Network Enabler (MVNE), has signed agreements with Epiphany(R) and Capgemini's Telecom, Media & Entertainment industry practice to implement a new CRM system for client management. Transatel will use the Epiphany Service solution as the foundation of its CRM system to manage several million users of mobile telephony services, as well as operate CRM systems for multiple Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) in different countries. This agreement gives Transatel better capabilities to manage its rapid growth, extend its leadership position as a top-flight player in the MVNO market, and provide its clients with guaranteed support enabled by Capgemini and Epiphany. MVNOs are mobile operators that do not own their own spectrum or their own network infrastructure. Instead, MVNOs have business arrangements with traditional mobile operators to buy minutes of use for resale to their own customers. MVNEs do not have a direct relationship with end-user customers. Instead, they provide infrastructure and services as a turnkey solution to enable MVNOs to offer services and manage the direct relationship with end-user subscribers. Jacques Bonifay, Chairman of Transatel's board of directors, said, "We selected Capgemini after reviewing competitive offerings and taking into account the quality and experience with CRM systems that other integrators' teams could provide. We chose Epiphany due to the power and flexibility of its solution and, more specifically, because of its ability to manage multiple offers simultaneously." Pierre Fournier, President of Capgemini Telecom, Media & Entertainment in France, said, "Our partnership with Transatel will result in a unique solution for MVNOs that is perfectly suited to satisfy the requirements of this new market. We believe that Transatel can offer every advantage when it comes to launching a powerful white label turnkey MVNO offer rapidly and for the lowest possible cost. Transatel can do this due to its command of all the processes that an MVNO must have and its ability to implement international offers. Capgemini is glad to provide its know-how as an integrator and be part of this development." The partnership between Transatel and Capgemini includes sales development operations in Europe and the implementation of increasingly effective solutions for Transatel's MVNE platform. "Epiphany is pleased to be working with Transatel today to help address its opportunities as a provider of MVNO solutions. These agreements also extend and strengthen our already dynamic partnership with Capgemini," said Karen Richardson, CEO, Epiphany. "Epiphany solutions help consumer-oriented companies, such as communication services providers, drive profitability through intelligent customer interactions."
