NEWS....SCCX moving nicely SPRINT SELECTS SCC COMMUNICATIONS TO PROVIDE 9-1-1 MANAGEMENT SERVICES BOULDER, Colo., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- SCC Communications (Nasdaq: SCCX) announced today that it has signed a three-year agreement to provide Sprint with SCC's 9-1-1 Clearinghouse Services when Sprint begins introducing the Sprint Integrated On-Demand Network(SM). Each time Sprint signs up a new subscriber, it must make sure that each subscriber's location and telephone number is forwarded to the right 9-1-1 database. The information in the 9-1-1 database is critical because it helps public safety agencies find the location of a 9-1-1 caller quickly and dispatch the appropriate emergency services. SCC's 9-1-1 Clearinghouse Service allows Sprint to outsource the 9-1-1 data management process efficiently and cost effectively. "SCC currently provides Sprint PCS wireless E9-1-1 services, and we're proud to add another member of the Sprint family to our growing list of customers," said John Sims, SCC Chief Operating Officer. "SCC Communications is the only company in the industry that can provide a wide range of 9-1-1 solutions for carriers who are active in both wireline and wireless markets." SCC Communications provides 9-1-1 Clearinghouse services to 14 carriers. The number of 9-1-1 subscriber records that SCC manages in its Clearinghouse Services has increased four-fold since the beginning of this year, representing one of the fastest growing segments of SCC's business. "When we begin introducing services in 1999, it's important that we can offer our subscribers accurate and reliable 9-1-1 service," said Carol Bussing, SPRINT vice president of National Integrated Services. "SCC's Clearinghouse Service gives us tremendous flexibility because it provides a single point of contact for 911 data exchange and will allow us to meet our customers' 911 requirements."
