PEREGRINE SYSTEMS COMPLETES ACQUISITIONS OF TELCO RESEARCH AND BARNHILL
MANAGEMENT GROUP LEADING PROVIDERS OF
TELEPHONY INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
ACQUISITIONS DELIVER ON VISION OF END-TO-END INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT,
PEREGRINE TELCO UNIT IS FORMED
SAN DIEGO, APRIL 3, 2000 -- Peregrine Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRGN) the leading
provider of Infrastructure Management software and e-Infrastructure solutions,
today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Telco Research
Corporation Limited, acquiring all of the outstanding shares of Telco Research.
The acquisition brings extensive telephony infrastructure management
capabilities to Peregrine Systems Infrastructure Management product line.
Under the terms of the agreement, Telco Research has become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Peregrine Systems, which shall be named Peregrine Telco during the
initial integration period.
Telecommunications costs can represent the third or fourth highest variable
expense for a corporation. These costs have experienced 15% annual growth rates
resulting from the impact of new services such as voicemail, inter-office
networking, Internet access, teleconferencing, data and facsimile transmissions
and rate adjustments. The combination of Peregrine Systems applications
ServiceCenter(R), AssetCenter(TM) and FacilityCenter(TM) with Telco Research
offerings, including the TRU product line will enable customers to manage the
cost and performance of every significant component of infrastructure.
In addition, Peregrine Systems, Inc. announced the completion of the acquisition
of privately held Barnhill Management Group. Barnhill had previously been a
services and solutions delivery partner for Peregrine Systems infrastructure
management products, with extensive experience in the telecommunications
industry. Barnhill will become part of Peregrine Systems North American sales
and professional services operations with a particular focus on the
communication and media industry.
"Peregrine Systems vision of infrastructure management includes the management
of every resource used by companies to deliver on their business missions," said
Steve Gardner, president and CEO of Peregrine Systems. "We started with IT and
expanded our solutions to encompass facilities, transportation and knowledge
resources. The addition of Peregrine Telco to our Infrastructure Management
portfolio adds the ability to manage voice and data telecommunications resources
for our customers in every market segment as well as the core competency to
support them in that effort. With the further addition of Barnhill Management
Group, we are creating a strong team to deliver end-to-end solutions for
communication and media industries."
"Peregrine Telco will build upon Telco Research's best of breed voice and data
network management products as well as our 25 years of experience in network
accounting and billing," said Paul Cleckner, newly appointed General Manager for
Peregrine Telco. "The complementary product lines will benefit both Peregrine
Systems and Telco Research customers."
Mike Whitt, President of Barnhill Management Group, commented, "We are delighted
to be part of the Peregrine Systems team and all of our customers, especially
those in the communications and media industries, will soon see a rapid
expansion of our capability to deliver even more comprehensive infrastructure
management and employee self service solutions." Mr. Whitt and other Barnhill
executives will join the North American operations of Peregrine Systems under
the terms of the transaction.
