FTVentures and Menlo Ventures Raise Stake In Growing Telecom Expense Management Leader

San Diego, CA – February 22, 2007

ProfitLine, the leading provider of outsourced telecom expense management (TEM) solutions, has secured a $7 million expansion financing with FTVentures and Menlo Ventures. Proceeds from this financing will be invested in the next generation of ProfitLine’s integrated source-to-pay offering for wireline and mobility telecom expense management.

“ProfitLine recognized the need for an integrated wireline and mobility TEM solution more than eighteen months ago, and stepped forward with our acquisition of a mobility Business Process Outsource (BPO) provider,” said ProfitLine President and Chief Executive Officer Stephen T. Hundley. “We continue to evolve our solution based on real experiences managing more than 100,000 mobile devices. This funding will accelerate the development of our next generation TEM solutions for the integrated BPO services the market is demanding.”

Hundley said that both the market and the ProfitLine team recognize the position of industry leadership the company has assumed with a series of major contract wins in 2006. “We are very pleased to have solid investor and board support in driving our strategic agenda forward,” continued Hundley. “This further investment by our existing partners underlines the exciting progress we have made in establishing ProfitLine as the industry leader in TEM. This capital will help us continue to enhance our services within our Total Lifecycle Management (TLM 360™) model.”

“ProfitLine is quickly becoming the outsourcing partner of choice in telecom expense management as the firm is uniquely positioned to meet the complexities that today’s large enterprise faces,” said Eric Byunn, FTVentures Partner and member of ProfitLine’s Board of Directors. “ProfitLine has been extremely effective in targeting key industry verticals, such as the financial services industry, where the company successfully completed major client contracts with AIG Technologies and Countrywide.” “The TEM industry is now universally accepted as being at the “right time” in the “right place” to answer a pressing need for large enterprises,” said Douglas C. Carlisle, Managing Director Menlo Ventures. “ProfitLine’s management team, technology and experienced staff are leading this industry’s growth, and Menlo is proud to partner with them in delivering the most comprehensive services for managing important and costly telecom resources.”
