Press Release Internet Solutions Partners with BroadSoft and Dimension Data to Lead South Africa's Voice Over the Internet (VoIP) Market South Africa's Premier e-Business Provider First to Market with Carrier-Grade Solution that Supports Aggressive Pricing and Next-Generation Services STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN, VON EUROPE, May 24, 2005 - BroadSoft®, Inc., the leading provider of VoIP application software, today announced that Internet Solutions (IS) chose Dimension Data (LSE:DDT) as their systems integrator to deploy advanced VoIP enterprise services based on the BroadSoft BroadWorks® VoIP application platform. The new service, called Voice over IS (VoIS), is a culmination of IS's long-term support of market deregulation and the development of best-of-breed information technology services that enable South African companies to compete more effectively.

With BroadWorks at the core of the VoIP network, VoIS is also positioned to lead the VoIP market forward with the most advanced set of next-generation services, such as click-to-dial, voicemail-to e-mail, and find-me-follow-me, that end users can easily control from BroadWorks' proven web-based portal. "We chose BroadSoft's BroadWorks platform because it enabled us to quickly respond to a changing regulatory environment with a nationwide, carrier-grade VoIP service that supports our long term commitment to growing South Africa's VoIP market," said Greg Hatfield, general manager of Voice Solutions at Internet Solutions.
