TCSI Appoints John C. Bolger to Chairman of the Board;
Adds Dr. Norman E. Friedmann as New Board Member
ALAMEDA, CALIFORNIA - February 25, 1998 - TCSI Corporation (Nasdaq: TCSI)
announced today that John C. Bolger has been appointed as Chairman of the
Board, filling a vacancy in that position. Bolger, 51, now a private
investor, served as Vice President, Finance and Administration and
Secretary of Cisco Systems, Inc. from 1989 until his retirement in 1992.
He has served as a member of TCSI's Board since July 1992. TCSI also
indicated that Dr. Norman E. Friedmann, 68, has joined as a new TCSI Board
Member. Friedmann, who holds a Ph.D in Engineering from UCLA, was
Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Herbalife, Chief
Executive Officer of Daisy Systems, and Founder, Chief Executive Officer,
and President of Los Angeles-based Cordura Corporation. He has served as a
consultant to TCSI for the past year.
TCSI develops and supports the SolutionCoreTM and SolutionSuiteTM family of
software products that enable telecommunications equipment manufacturers
and service providers to create scalable, flexible software solutions for
their operation support system (OSS) requirements. According to Dr. Ram
Banin, TCSI's President and Chief Executive Officer, these new appointments
significantly fortify the Board's strengths in both the financial and
operational areas, as well as providing new insights and direction for
determining and supporting growth strategies in the coming years.
"John Bolger knows our company well, providing guidance as a Board member
throughout the past six years." said Dr. Banin. "We look forward to his
continuing association with the company in the coming years."
TCSI's newest Board Member, Dr. Norman E. Friedmann, combines a strong
technical background with extensive business management expertise. The
author of over 40 publications and presentations on various topics in
engineering, computer applications, marketing, and business management, Dr.
Friedmann has served on the Board of Governors of the UCLA Foundation since
1987 and was a Consultant to the U.S. Secretary of Defense from 1982 to
1987. He is the Donor of the Friedmann Chair in Knowledge Sciences, UCLA
School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and was the 1986 recipient of
the UCLA Distinguished Service Award.
"Having someone of Dr. Friedmann's stature join our Board is exactly what
we were hoping for," says TCSI's Banin. "His long-term familiarity and
involvement in the Internet, Fibre Channel, and Telecommunications market
sectors will be invaluable as we roll our products out to the new markets
that are developing all over the world."
