San Antonio, Texas - January 18, 2012 - Digerati Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:DTGI) (OTCQB:DTGI), an established and award-winning provider of cloud communication services, today announced it has selected Global Convergence Solutions' (GCS) Dynamic Route & Rate Management Solution as its operational system to support its global session-based network.

The deployment of GCS' system will create operating efficiencies which will allow Digerati to scale its business rapidly while maximizing revenues and margin for its global VoIP services.
Digerati extensively evaluated other back office systems before selecting the GCS system. The highly-scalable GCS solution will be delivered via GCS’ cloud operating environment and is an essential component of the Company's system architecture that will meet its objective of reducing operational costs while providing streamlined network operations.

The GCS platform will also provide Digerati with several critical features and capabilities that will enable the Company to better serve its customers.
Neal Axelrad, CEO of GCS, remarked, “Our next-generation management solutions have been helping dozens of carriers improve their revenues and margins while automating 90% of the operational burden and costs associated with the back office functions that managing a global next-generation network commands. The GCS Dynamic On-Demand Solution will provide Digerati with the most comprehensive set of tools available in the market to manage their global business.”
Ken Ryon, Sr. Vice President of Engineering at Digerati, stated, "We discovered that GCS has the platform and domain knowledge that automates many of the time consuming manual tasks of adjusting routes and rates based on standard business practices within our industry. Providing us the ability to define a set of QoS metrics for individual routes was key to scaling our operations group to support the exponential growth of our enterprise customer base both here in the US and abroad. Allowing our sales channel and customers access to real-time statistical reports was a well appreciated bonus.”
