MetraTech Wins 2009 Best Overall at the World BSS Awards


BOSTON, Massachusetts and LONDON, June 24 /PRNewswire/ --     MetraTech Corp. (http://www.metratech.com/), the innovative charging,
billing, settlement and customer care product provider has won the Best
Overall prize at the prestigious World BSS Awards. The award was presented to
two companies, MetraTech and Oracle Corporation at a ceremony during IIR's
BSS Summit 2009 in Amsterdam from June 8-11, 2009.

The World BSS awards are widely regarded as the highest industry
recognition of BSS excellence and are now in their 13th year. MetraTech was
nominated as a finalist in three categories. In addition to its victory in
the "Best Overall" category, its groundbreaking Software and Services
deployment at Microsoft Online was voted runner up in the "Best
Billing/Charging Implementation Project." Chairman of the judges, Hugh
Roberts, noted that this deployment was the equal to the category winner, but
competition rules prevent two shared awards, therefore, MetraTech was given
Runner Up in light of the company's victory in Best Overall.

In addressing MetraTech's victory in the main category, Roberts noted
that "Best Overall" was given to the company doing most to innovate and to
lead the industry through a period of transformation. He pointed out the
large number of exciting deals the company had concluded in the past 12
months as bearing witness to how the market had come to understand
MetraTech's vision. He also expressed the hope that its breakthrough year
would see that vision cemented in 2010.

The victory further underlines why, recently, Ari Banerjee, vice
president of next generation software systems at consultancy Yankee Group
noted in an interview published in DestinationCRM Magazine on May 8, 2009,
"MetraNet has unique characteristics that you don't see with [competitors]
today." He added, "Others will eventually catch up, but what [MetraTech] has
today is compelling. MetraTech can come in and work with existing billing
platforms. The company's flexibility impresses me."
