Evolving Systems Continues Its Expansion in Africa With the Addition of Three New Operators

ENGLEWOOD, CO--(Marketwire - October 2, 2008) - Evolving Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVOL), a leading provider of software solutions and services to the wireless, wireline and IP carrier market, today announced that one of its global wireless customers will expand the deployment of its Tertio™ Service Activation solution across an additional three operating companies in Africa.

Tertio Service Activation is a proven solution that easily and cost-effectively provisions each operator's service offerings across a multi-vendor, multi-technology network infrastructure including IP and 3G services.

Evolving Systems will supply end-to-end delivery and support of the implementations. Once in production, Tertio will provide a single convergent service activation platform that enables the provisioning of advanced services, including prepaid and post-paid voice, voice-mail, MMS and other advanced services on the carrier's GSM networks.

"This global carrier continues to experience tremendous growth in the Asian, Latin American and African wireless markets," said Thad Dupper, president and CEO of Evolving Systems. "Building on the success of the initial seven country selection in 2007 and earlier this year, we are pleased to announce the expansion of our Tertio solution into an additional three operating companies. This takes our operations within the group to ten properties and increases our footprint in Africa to eight countries across three separate operators. This clearly illustrates Evolving Systems' leadership position in this high growth market."
