AUTSIN, Texas -- Motive, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOTV), a leading provider of management software, today announced that its broadband management products now give both cable broadband and DSL providers greater ability to consistently deliver and profitably manage their entire portfolio of digital services, including Voice over IP (VoIP), video, and high-speed data.

Motive's unique software is the first to make self-management an integral part of broadband services themselves. Regardless of where a service is installed, what it is connected to, or how often it changes, Motive's software equips the service with intelligent automation, ensuring that it is effortless to set up, use and maintain. This significantly accelerates the time to value for providers by lowering service delivery costs and creating a superior customer experience.

Many of the world's broadband leaders are validating Motive's innovative approach. In separate press releases today, Motive announced that Deutsche Telekom will build Motive software into its digital services; and Alcatel will offer Motive's broadband products as part of its DSL service management portfolio. Recently, BT and SOFTBANK BB also chose to make Motive software part of their current and future broadband services.
