-- ASP Transchannel operating PeopleSoft applications for data services provider--

Atlanta, GA (December 4, 2000) - Transchannel, Inc. today announced it is providing operational management, support, maintenance and hosting of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications for another enterprise client, e^deltacom, the Atlanta-based division of ITC^DeltaCom, Inc. (NASDAQ/NM: ITCD)

Transchannel, a leading application service provider (ASP), is dedicated to hosting existing PeopleSoft ERP implementations for the enterprise market. Transchannel services large companies that have already installed PeopleSoft ERP applications and want to realize the full benefits of their enterprise software investment without adding additional staff and infrastructure.

e^deltacom, an outsource provider of information technology services, offering data center services for server colocation, web hosting, and managed services, selected Transchannel in August of this year to maintain and operate its PeopleSoft financial and distribution applications.

"Transchannel allows e^deltacom to take full advantage of the functionality in our ERP solution," said Ivor Fredrickson, vice president and treasurer of ITC^DeltaCom. "By partnering with Transchannel, we have achieved innovative solutions and a high level of service. They provide us with a seamless solution, allowing us to concentrate on our core business functions without worrying about maintaining our ERP applications."

Transchannel transitioned e^deltacom's PeopleSoft environment into Transchannel's application hosting model in less than eight weeks. According to Sara Plunkett, ITC^DeltaCom's vice president of finance, "The Transchannel consultants assigned to the cutover project were very qualified, dedicated and focused on a successful transport. Their professional attention to the smallest of details made the transition a smooth one," said Plunkett.

"Landing a leading infrastructure solutions provider is a significant addition to our business. It strengthens our presence in both the communications and technology industries," said George Valentine, chief executive officer of Transchannel. "Moreover, being selected by an infrastructure outsourcing firm to effectively outsource their ERP application is a strong testimonial to the overall value we bring to the table."
