Vistula Communications
Services, Inc. acquires Goodman Blue Limited
October 11th, 2006 New York
– Vistula Communications Services, Inc. (“Vistula”)
(OTCBB: VSTL), a global supplier of flexible and reliable
Voice over IP (“VoIP”) services to major telecommunications
carriers and Internet Service Providers, announced today that
it has acquired Goodman Blue Limited (“Goodman Blue”),
a UK systems integration and software house.
Goodman Blue provides a software package that allows service
providers, of any kind, to deliver real-time, self-service
and fully automated, provisioning, rating, billing, service
management and reporting of telecom and other services. For
Vistula and its customers this software sits on the outside
of V-Cube™(1) so that service providers can create hands-off
management of their customers’ billable activity. The
Goodman Blue solution is called - Order to Cash (“O2C”).
Vistula will be marketing O2C to V-Cube™ and non-V-Cube™
clients and has already received significant interest in the
product. The particular benefit to Vistula’s clients
is that it allows them to address the high cost of sale issues
common with relatively low-value, high-volume client bases
requiring complex solutions. This changes the service provider’s
business model to the positive.
Rupert Galliers-Pratt, Chairman and CEO of Vistula commented
“Goodman Blue’s solutions address two markets:
end-to-end automated provisioning with book to bill service
for telecoms service providers and automated self-service
provisioning, rating and billing of telecom and ancillary
services for the Serviced Office market.”
Mr. Galliers Pratt went on to say, “As well as delivering
greater service options for Vistula’s clients, the acquisition
of Goodman Blue provides new opportunities for VCSI in the
telecoms sector. This establishes within Vistula a proven
systems integration capability to support the automated order
portal deployment into our customer’s OSS/BSS. We expect
the acquisition of Goodman Blue to have an immediate positive
cash flow impact on our business.”
Scott Goodwin, the owner of Goodman Blue, who is remaining
as a consultant to the company said, “The future of
Voice and Internet-based services will become dependent upon
integrated order-to-cash systems. For the last four years
Goodman Blue has focused on the creation of low-cost, easy
to use O2C portals. Joining with Vistula’s sophisticated
VoIP platform and global reach creates a unique combination
in this rapidly expanding marketplace that will significantly
benefit Vistula’s customers and shareholders.”
(1) V-Cube™ - a uniquely featured Internet Protocol-P-B-X,
or “IP-PBX,” that facilitates full contact communication
services including voice, video, conferencing, call center,
interactive voice response systems, and multi/sub-domain and
unified messaging across enterprise and public networks.
