WIRE) --
Symphony Services, the global leader in product engineering outsourcing
services, today announced that Gartner's MarketScope for Telecom Expense
Management gave Symphony its highest possible rating, "Strong Positive,"
as customer demand continues to rise for Symphony's licensed and managed
services and processes.

Symphony is appearing with greater frequency on the shortlists for large
TEM opportunities and is an appropriate choice for all TEM solutions. In
2008, Symphony increased the number of mobility assets under management

infrastructure management software and services, all serviced from
Symphony's state-of-the-art data center that has been certified as
compliant with SAS 70 Type II, with Six Sigma Black Belts and Green Belts
on staff.

The Gartner MarketScope provides guidance for all Gartner customers,
regardless of the size of their telecommunications budgets. Gartner's
definition for telecom expense management "encompasses the business
processes conducted by IT and finance departments to acquire, provision
and support corporate communications services." In the report Gartner
rated market solutions ranging from software suites (tools) and Software
as a Service (SaaS) for self-management and outsourcing of specific tasks
to third-party service providers.

worldwide continue to adopt telecom expense management solutions to expand
mobile management capabilities while dramatically reducing expenses.
Symphony has addressed evolving customer needs head-on allowing
customers
to:

-- Reduce customer service costs
-- Drive cost reductions from invoice auditing and better asset
management
