(OTC Bulletin Board: CGSY)), the world's leading telecommunications information and logistics company, today announced that its "Strategic Sourcing" line of business delivered strong 2009 results, positioning the company for continued growth in 2010. Global Capacity leverages its Knowledge Engine, a proprietary telecom industry information and automation tool across 195 countries and 6 continents, to enable its clients to make intelligent buying decisions. The Strategic Sourcing products, "One Marketplace" and "Network Novation Services," allow customers to design, price, build, optimize and manage both standard and customized worldwide data movement.

The annual growth rate for One Marketplace in 2009 through November is a robust 163%.

Sales growth in Network Novation Services in the same time period was an impressive 46%. The novation approach combines Global Capacity's network engineering expertise with the Knowledge Engine to build new network configurations that improve costs through circuit alteration and carrier selection. These strong growth rates were driven by exceptional client positioning and consultation to optimize value for both Enterprise customers and the many leading global telecommunications suppliers served by Global Capacity.
