New York, March 23, 2006 — Morgan Lewis is pleased to announce that it has secured an outsourcing contract for client Universal Music Group (UMG), the world’s leading music company. The outsourcing deal, with Paris-based Equant, a unit of France Telecom, will allow UMG to focus its IT resources on recording-industry IT applications instead of networking needs, and to transform its current network into a fully managed IP solution.

The five-year deal spans 48 countries and is innovative in many respects. It covers all elements of UMG’s communications infrastructure, including global WAN and LAN, managed voice and IP telephony, mobility, web hosting and vendor management. UMG has about 9,000 internal users on its network, in addition to thousands of people who work for its business partners.
