DIGITERRA BROADBAND TO SUPPORT HP'S NATIONAL BROADBAND EFFORT

DigiTerra Broadband, a wholly owned subsidiary of CIBER Inc, announced that it has completed an agreement with HP to support the sale of broadband services.

As part of the agreement, DigiTerra's BroadbandCompass tool will be available on HP Pavilion desktop PCs enabling customers to qualify for and order broadband services. Among other channels, customers will have access to the tool through a new high-speed desktop icon.

With DigiTerra's BroadbandCompass, HP customers have access to a simple, one-stop shopping alternative for broadband services. At the click of a mouse, customers can identify available broadband services, compare and research services and place an order in real-time.

"By leveraging DigiTerra's BroadbandCompass, HP offers a best-in-class solution to its diverse and growing customer base."

By working with DigiTerra Broadband and other leading broadband service providers, we now offer our customers a more convenient way to obtain a high-speed connection," said Elizabeth Clarkson, Business Development Manager, HP Consumer PC Division.
