MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and OREM, Utah - March 17, 2005. LignUp Corporation, a provider of web services based converged communications solutions, and Alianza Global Communications Services, a provider of hosted VoIP services, today announced that Alianza will migrate its existing and future business customers to a VoIP service platform powered by the LignUp Communications Solution.

Alianza plans to introduce new VoIP-enabled services, bringing more value to its customers and making the company more competitive in the marketplace. Lignup's platform allows Alianza to customize its products to better fit its customer's needs.

"As a service provider in a competitive space, we are constantly confronted with three basic challenges," said Brian Beutler, the president of Alianza. "First, we need to develop and deliver services cost effectively, so we can break into the market without breaking the bank. Second, we need to make money month after month. And third, we need the confidence that we can grow and scale as the business grows and new opportunities develop. LignUp gives us the flexibility we need to innovate, differentiate and deliver solutions that allow us to be successful."

The LignUp Communication Solution includes the LignUp Communications Platform, including LignUp Call Director, LignUp Media Server, and LignUp SDK, and IP-Centrex, Voice Mail, Unified Messaging, and IVR applications built on the powerful web services based LignUp platform. With the LignUp solution call routing and management settings can be simply configured and new applications can quickly be built using the VoiceXML, LignUp Call Control XML (CCTRL), and LignUp Media Control XML (MCTRL).

"Innovation is the lifeblood of service providers in Alianza's position," said Kevin Nethercott, the president and chief operating officer for LignUp Corporation. "LignUp allows Alianza to avoid service commoditization by continually building new web applications that enhance their offerings."
