Exhibit 99.1
Vistula
Communications Services, Inc. acquires Goodman Blue Limited
October 11th, 2006 New York - Vistula Communications
Services, Inc. ("Vistula") (OTCBB: VSTL), a global supplier of flexible and
reliable Voice over IP ("VoIP") services to major telecommunications carriers
and Internet Service Providers, announced today that it has acquired Goodman
Blue Limited ("Goodman Blue"), a UK systems integration and software house.
Goodman Blue provides a software package that allows
service providers, of any kind, to deliver real-time, self-service and fully
automated, provisioning, rating, billing, service management and reporting of
telecom and other services. For Vistula and its customers this software sits on
the outside of V-Cube™(1)
so that service providers can create hands-off
management of their customers' billable activity. The Goodman Blue solution is
called - Order to Cash ("O2C").
Vistula will be marketing O2C to V-Cube™ and
non-V-Cube™ clients and has already received significant interest in the
product. The particular benefit to Vistula's clients is that it allows them to
address the high cost of sale issues common with relatively low-value,
high-volume client bases requiring complex solutions. This changes the service
provider's business model to the positive.
Rupert Galliers-Pratt, Chairman and CEO of Vistula
commented "Goodman Blue's solutions address two markets: end-to-end automated
provisioning with book to bill service for telecoms service providers and
automated self-service provisioning, rating and billing of telecom and
ancillary services for the Serviced Office market".
Mr. Galliers Pratt went on to say, "As well as
delivering greater service options for Vistula's clients, the acquisition of
Goodman Blue provides new opportunities for VCSI in the telecoms sector. This establishes within Vistula a proven
systems integration capability to support the automated order portal deployment
into our customer's OSS/BSS. We expect
the acquisition of Goodman Blue to have an immediate positive cash flow impact
on our business".
Scott Goodwin, the
owner of Goodman Blue, who is remaining as a consultant to the company said, "The
future of Voice and Internet-based services will become dependent upon
integrated order-to-cash systems. For the last four years Goodman Blue has
focused on the creation of low-cost, easy to use O2C portals. Joining with
Vistula's sophisticated VoIP platform and global reach creates a unique
combination in this rapidly expanding marketplace that will significantly benefit
Vistula's customers and shareholders".
