Techstep signs SmartDevice agreement with Nortel for all their users

[Oslo, 15 June 2022]. Techstep has signed an agreement with new customer, Nortel
AS, a challenger in the Norwegian mobile and broadband B2B market, to provide
Techstep Expense, a part of Techstep's managed mobility portfolio, SmartDevice,
to all Nortel's customers and users.

Techstep Expense is a solution to manage mobile subscription costs providing
visibility, control, and certainty for the organisation. Through a defined
mobile policy, the cost is split between company and employee, providing freedom
of mobile usage.

SmartDevice is the complete and sustainable portfolio to help enterprises
integrate and manage all mobile devices from procurement to end of life. Users
are empowered to choose, fix, and replace mobile devices whilst enterprises have
visibility and cost control over their mobile fleet.

All Nortel's customers will have Techstep Expense included in their subscription
plans, commencing from the fourth quarter 2022. The agreement is set to enhance
Nortel's offering and add new benefits to its customers.

Simultaneously, Techstep will become a Nortel distribution partner, offering
Nortel's products to Techstep's customers in Norway, starting from the third
quarter 2022. This extends Techstep's product offering by giving customers more
flexibility and optionality.

"We are very pleased with this agreement. It allows Nortel's customers to
benefit from Techstep's mobile expense management software, while at the same
time giving Techstep's customers the option to buy Nortel's connectivity
products. This will enhance the experience for both companies' customers", says
Techstep's Chief Executive Officer, Børge Astrup.

"As a challenger in the Norwegian B2B market, Nortel has had a strategy of
building a broad partner and distribution network, and the agreement with
Techstep significantly strengthens our competitiveness. The agreement is of
great importance as the collaboration is an extensive two-way model. Techstep
will provide solutions, subscriptions and services from Nortel bundled with
Techstep's quality solutions for mobile device management and MEM solutions. We
are looking forward to the collaboration", says Christian Pritchard, CEO of
Nortel.

Techstep estimates the annual recurring revenue (ARR) value of the agreement to
a minimum of NOK 3 million, with an initial contract period of three years.
