SYDNEY, December 8, 2009 — Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories, an Alcatel-Lucent company (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU), received Dimension Data’s New South Wales ‘Vendor of the Year’ award.

Genesys was chosen for its continued commitment to delivering outstanding results and for its strong focus on a collaborative and successful partnership with Dimension Data.

“The New South Wales Vendor of the Year Award is recognition that Genesys is a great company with which to do business, a value we place at the centre of our organisation and one that drives our behaviour with customers,” said Sean Coleman, Genesys Australasia Managing Director. “We’re pleased Dimension Data recognised those efforts in what we know is a very competitive field. Our successful relationship with Dimension Data is long standing and one that has been built on collaboration and mutual respect. These awards are an important acknowledgement for the team and we look forward to growing this partnership in 2010.”

Pete Murray, Dimension Data NSW State Manager, said: “Genesys is a true partner in every sense of the word and winning this award is testament to the strong relationship we have developed over the years. Genesys’ commitment to deliver and how they go about their business has ensured another very successful partnership and year together. We congratulate Genesys and look forward to 2010.”
