Globe with Advanced Capabilities that are Setting a Higher Standard for the
Service Industry

Astea International Inc. (Nasdaq: ATEA), a global provider of service lifecycle
management and mobility solutions, has introduced a new version of the
industry’s most robust solution for service organizations. Leveraging more
than 30 years of experience, Astea Alliance 9.0 delivers extensive enhancements
and new features to empower service organizations to achieve a new level of

interactions, improved customer satisfaction and experiences, and lower total
cost of ownership, are just a few of the advantages organizations will be able
to realize with this new release.

Astea is the only solution provider that offers all cornerstones of service
lifecycle management: customer management; service management; asset management;
forward and reverse logistics management; and mobile workforce management with
enhanced work scheduling optimization. Astea’s solutions are seamlessly
orchestrated to share and leverage information throughout the service lifecycle
- removing the traditional barriers between the field and back office. With
Astea Alliance’s modularity, companies can introduce one module at a time
or deploy a seamless information backbone across the entire service lifecycle
continuum, thereby eliminating the patchwork of disparate systems that can
hamper a company’s ability to provide best-in-class service due to the
siloing of customer information.

More than 400 organizations around the world rely on Astea’s solutions to
run their service operations. Built on the latest Microsoft .NET 3.5 platform,
Astea Alliance 9.0 is one of the most open and non-proprietary solutions on the
market today. Organizations will be able to benefit from dramatically enhanced
professional services automation (PSA), business intelligence (BI), service work
order process improvements, logistics, workforce scheduling optimization,
scheduling and dispatch console enhancements, and as well as many new and
significant features added to Astea’s industry leading mobility solution.

Astea Alliance is one of the most widely-used service lifecycle management
solutions on the market today and I am very proud of this new version, said John
Tobin, President of Astea International. This is a pivotal release for not only
Astea but the industry itself, and one which will have a dramatic impact on the
way organizations deliver service as more and more companies in these
challenging economic times view and leverage service as a competitive
differentiator and revenue generator. Astea has always been in the forefront. We
continue to leverage our breadth and depth of experience and expertise to
