	TCSI Names Four New Executives in Response to Global Growth

	New Hires Bring Additional Telecom Software Experience
	to TCSI International Operations

BERKELEY, Calif. - July 17, 1996 - TCSI Corporation (Nasdaq: TCSI), a 
global provider of software to the Telecom industry, announced today that 
it has hired four professionals to respond to the Company's international 
growth. To manage the expanding operations in the Pacific Rim, Sakae 
Murakami has been appointed project manager in the Japan office. Keith 
Miller joins TCSI as director of product marketing, operating out of 
offices in both Berkeley and England. Jim Collis and Mike McKay join TCSI's 
new European team as director of business development and director of 
engineering, respectively.

"This year, TCSI's five largest telecom customers include two North 
American regional carriers, one European carrier, and two service providers 
in the Pacific Rim. We believe the current geographic diversity of our 
customer base will create new opportunities for our software products and 
services in those markets with both existing and new customers," said Roger 
Strauch, president and chief executive officer. "Software licensing fees 
from our flagship product, Object Services Package (OSP), were up over 100 
percent last year, and we believe the addition of these four seasoned 
professionals will better position us to take advantage of our growing 
marketplace."

Each individual has expertise in the Telecom industry and will work to 
expand the Company's global sales channels and technical base. Miller, 
formerly responsible for service management with the MCI/British Telecom 
(BT) joint venture company, will spearhead TCSI's product management 
processes and help drive the Company's product portfolio as the new 
director of product marketing. Collis, previously with Computer Science 
Corporation, Tandem, and Digital, has a wide background in selling software 
solutions to the Telecom industry. He will serve to further advance TCSI's 
sales throughout the European market.

McKay, most recently with British Telecom's ServiceView in the UK, will be 
responsible for leading and expanding the European technical base and 
establishing TCSI's new "EuroCenter" in England. Murakami, a former Arthur 
Andersen consultant, will oversee the growing engineering operations in 
Japan and the Pacific Rim.
