e^deltacom is an outsource provider of IT solutions in the growing digital economy, providing solutions, services and the digital infrastructure businesses need to survive and thrive in the digital community. e^deltacom's first Data Center location, scheduled to go live in Atlanta in November 2000, will provide state-of-the-art advanced server hosting and colocation capabilities to companies requiring a web presence as well as for ISPs (Internet Service Providers) and ASPs (Application Service Providers). As a division of ITC^DeltaCom, e^deltacom is backed by the resources, experience and infrastructure of one of the premier integrated telecommunications providers in the Southern U.S. and is built on ITC^DeltaCom's extensive ten-state fiber network.

Campbell Lanier, III, chairman of the board of ITC^DeltaCom, is enthusiastic about the new venture. "Starting e^deltacom supports our overall vision of where we see the telecommunications industry going. ITC^DeltaCom has proven to be a strong, solid provider in the Southern region and this new division will help bring our customers into the information age with a company they know and trust well," he said. Drew Walker, vice chairman, president and CEO of ITC^DeltaCom, added, "ITC^DeltaCom has focused on customer service and has been very successful in working with customers in helping them to make decisions that affect their needs in today's marketplace. With the launch of e^deltacom, ITC^DeltaCom reconfirms its commitment to helping companies meet their communications demands. We are excited about this introduction of managed and professional services and know that it will provide a solution for numerous companies ­ big and small."

In addition to a suite of colocation products, e^deltacom will be offering customers a wide array of managed services, including enhanced monitoring, managed security, storage management and hardware maintenance management. For customers with unique requirements or those wanting to design and implement a complete e-business solution, e^deltacom's Professional Services Group comprised of over 100 experienced engineers and consultants can provide custom solutions that address project management and methodology, system design, implementation and deployment services, as well as maintenance and support.

"In the initial discussions about developing this division, we decided e^deltacom needed to be a true full-service operation. Yes, we would build a carrier class facility, but we wouldn't stop there," says Steve Johnson, General Manager and senior vice president of e^deltacom. "The Professional Services Group and managed services are a significant point of difference from other data centers offerings", said Johnson. "We focus on our customer's technology allowing them to focus on their business" he adds.
