Executive Team Strengthened With Technology Veteran
               Spearheading New Business Initiatives

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 27, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shango(R), an industry
leading Integration-as-a-Service provider, today announced that Tim
Meier has joined the company as its new Vice President of Business
Development. He will be responsible for strategic planning and market
development efforts to rollout Shango's cloud-based service
orchestration software solutions designed to enable VoIP service
providers.

"Tim brings many years of success and expertise from the B/OSS industry
to Shango at a critical time in the evolution of our company-- we
recently changed our identity to emphasize our move away from retail
channels. He will help drive the company's new brand which is providing
innovative cloud-based carrier solutions along with our core wholesale
VoIP services aggregation," said David Walsh, CEO and founder of
Shango. "Tim's deep knowledge of the many telecom business models and
associated back office challenges will be instrumental in the growth of
our organization."

Meier has over 20 years of telecom sales and sales management
experience with 14 years in B/OSS software solutions for regulated and
unregulated service providers. He has extensive knowledge of various
telecom business models and the operational challenges facing today's
service providers from network and operational infrastructure to
managing trading partners, channels, customers and stakeholders. In
addition, he played a key role in launching the first CLEC in Austin,
Texas for Metro Access Networks/Brooks Fiber. Prior to joining Shango,
Mr. Meier served as Vice President of Sales for CHR Solutions where he
led the sales efforts for software, engineering, consulting and managed
IT services to communications service providers. His other previous
sales roles include marketing interconnection trading partner gateway
solutions and B/OSS solutions to RBOCs and CLECs at Wisor Telecom and
Aptis/Billing Concepts.

"The opportunity to come back to Austin and work with such a strong
entrepreneurial leadership team on the Shango vision was more than
compelling itself. However, being at the intersection of both evolving
network technologies and B/OSS software infrastructure is what really
excited me," said Tim Meier, Vice President of Business Development at
Shango. "Shango has all the ingredients for success including a dynamic
team of forward-looking individuals that aren't afraid to challenge the
status quo, and a solution platform born out of years of being a
service provider. Shango is a shining example of proverb saying that
necessity is the mother of innovation."
