direct/ ClientLogic: SITEL and ClientLogic Unveil New Brand and Assert Leadership Position

Business Process Outsourcing Leader Announces New Name; Rolls Out Brand to 65,000 Associates, Clients and Partners Worldwide

NASHVILLE, TN -- (MARKET WIRE) -- February 28, 2007 -- The recently merged ClientLogic and SITEL Corporation today unveiled a new brand to communicate its commitment to associates and clients and usher in a new outsourced customer care business process outsourcing (BPO) leader. As part of a new brand strategy, the company announced it will adopt the name Sitel and bring to market a new Sitel offering a broader range of opportunities for associates, clients and customers.

"This merger was not about combining two great companies to form one, large company," said Dave Garner, president and CEO of the new Sitel. "The merger was about taking two great companies and creating the best. The new Sitel will set the industry standard for outsourced customer care and re-define what it means to be an outsourcing partner."

Continued Garner, "Companies around the world will look to the new Sitel to manage their most valuable asset -- their customers. They will also look to the new Sitel to introduce new services that add value and identify ways to improve customer care beyond the bottom line. Sitel will meet and exceed these challenges in partnership with our clients and associates and together we will earn the recognition and respect the outsourced customer care industry deserves."

Analysts estimate that 85% of global customer care functions are performed in-house, presenting significant BPO market growth potential as these functions are increasingly outsourced. According to analyst group IDC, the global customer care BPO services market is expected to grow from $51.4 billion in 2005 to $92.2 billion in 2010.

-- A new company logo that visually bridges the best of both companies and symbolizes the new Sitel´s strong history and global brand leadership.

-- An executive management team with deep expertise and a proven track record of success across geographies, services and vertical markets.
