Digerati Technologies Outlines Strategic Initiatives

SAN ANTONIO, TX — Digerati Technologies, Inc., an established and award-winning provider of cloud communication services, today announced its key business opportunities and strategic initiatives to drive long-term sales growth and profitability.

Since FY2010, the Company has taken definitive actions to transition Digerati from a traditional international telecommunications carrier to a global VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and cloud-based telephony service provider. In FY2011, Digerati began its corporate transformation that included a name change formally launching the Company's strategic shift. Management believes the Company's strategy that emphasizes its cloud-based innovation platform and global session-based communications network will allow it to capitalize on the growth opportunities within its industry.

During FY2012, Digerati commenced the then and there phase of its transformation that included implementing key infrastructure upgrades to furthermore enhance its ability to sell higher margin cloud telephony applications and session-based communication services over its global network. In September 2011, the Company deployed a Sansay VSXi system that serves as the foundation for Digerati's straightway generation innovation platform and is the cornerstone for its product diversification strategy. The deployment of the Sansay system was a key architectural building block for seamless interoperability between Digerati's global network and its cloud telephony application platform. The combination of the Company's existing global network with its cloud-based telephony platform is expected to significantly improve the value proposition of Digerati's product line. The result is the potential to generate increased value for shareholders in coming years as Digerati transitions to its growth strategy that emphasizes high-margin cloud-based telephony applications during maintaining its strong reputation as a global provider of VoIP telephony services.

Through its fiscal year ending July 31, 2011, Digerati's primary line of business was transporting voice traffic over the Internet for other carriers that included traditional telecommunications service providers, other VoIP carriers, and mobile operators. Over the course of the last six fiscal quarters, the Company has developed and introduced an extensive portfolio of cloud-based telephony products and services, including enhanced applications that are not available through the traditional telecommunication network. The Company's products, branded as Only in The Cloud™, are feature rich that translate into savings and simplicity for end-users. Digerati's Only in The Cloud™ products are exactly designed for the needs of the SMB, call centers with international communication requirements, and Internet service providers that do not have the scale necessary to acquire their own telephony infrastructure.

To sell its products, the Company recently embarked on a cost effective sales and marketing strategy that utilizes VARs as its distribution channel. The VARs that Digerati targets have established relationships with small-to-medium sized businesses which represents a tremendous growth market for the Company's products and services. Digerati's VAR program targets PBX (Private -Automatic- Branch Exchange) vendors, information research services firms, managed service providers, systems integrators and broadband providers that lack a cloud telephony infrastructure, however have an embedded customer base in need of telephony services. Digerati's all-in-one cloud telephony platform and global VoIP network transforms its VARs' business model by giving them the ability to sell an end-to-end solution that includes every component required to roll out a domestic or global telephony application for their clients.

As a low-cost operator with a vertically integrated platform and carrier-class global network, management believes the Company is ideally positioned to become a "one-stop" provider of cloud telephony applications with a global reach in other words delivered Only in The Cloud™. The Company's mission is to deliver its cloud communication solutions with unequalled quality, reliability, and support.

Effort to achieve it financial objectives

To work towards improving its financial foundation, the Company has as well entered into agreements to derive additional income through the sale of non-core assets.

Arthur L. Smith, CEO of Digerati, stated, "FY2012 is shaping up to be a critical turning point for our Company. We have made significant progress in enhancing our core infrastructure to support our growth strategy and continue to win new business opportunities with enterprise clients through our VAR relationships both domestically and internationally. We expect to report more on these new business opportunities and on our sales progress in the coming weeks. It is our intention to continue to control our costs and grow our business by securing additional funding to meet our working capital needs and to support continued expansion of our sales efforts, exactly as it pertains to our VAR distribution model. While FY2012 we expect the top-line revenue from our legacy carrier to carrier business to decline as we transform our business model and place a stronger emphasis on our higher margin cloud telephony applications and session-based communication services. But, we believe that this transition will increase margins, improve brand recognition, create a more stable revenue base, and allow us to target more rapid profitability growth that we anticipate will ultimately result in increased shareholder value."
