Exhibit 99.1

[COMPANY LOGO]

                    Astea Reports First Quarter 2008 Results

      HORSHAM, Pa., May 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Astea International Inc.
(Nasdaq: ATEA), a global provider of service management solutions, today
released financial results for the first quarter of 2008.

      For the first quarter ended March 31, 2008, Astea reported revenues of
$7.0 million compared to revenues of $9.5 million for the same period in 2007.
Net loss for the first quarter was $425,000 or $.12 per share, compared to a net
profit of $3.0 million or $.83 per share for the same period in 2007. License
revenues were $1.4 million compared to $2.8 million in 2007. Total service and
maintenance revenue decreased 17% to $5.6 million. Due to the effects of the
restatements announced last year and earlier this year, quarter to quarter
comparisons may not be an effective gauge of the trend in Astea's performance,
and reference should be made to the relevant quarterly and annual filings for
further detail.

      "Although our first quarter results were unsatisfactory, we remain
confident in our ability to achieve our goals for 2008, as our pipeline is
strong in North America, Europe and the Asia Pacific regions. We have
strengthened our infrastructure and hired additional sales and marketing
personnel in both our APAC and EMEA offices. As a result of this investment and
focus, we expect to see an incremental increase in revenues and a strong
contribution to our ongoing financial performance." stated Zack Bergreen, CEO of
Astea International. "Despite a still uncertain economic climate, we continue to
aggressively execute demand generation and brand awareness campaigns to stay on
top of the minds of those in our target market. We are definitely seeing more
and more companies taking a closer look at leveraging technology to transform
their service business from a cost center to a profit center, especially when
declining product profit margins and competition are making it harder to survive
in today's economy. Because of our leadership position and more than 29 years of
experience, we continue to be the vendor of choice that organizations turn to
when they want to make that transformation and take their service business to
the next level."

      FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

      --    The quarter included new customers such as a leading mechanical and
            electrical contractor that installs heating, ventilation, and
            air-conditioning (HVAC), electrical, and plumbing systems in
            commercial, industrial, and multi-family residential buildings, as
            well as additional licenses to existing customers, for both the
            Astea Alliance and FieldCentrix solutions, as they continue to
            expand configurations and deploy additional users.

      --    Released Astea Alliance 8.0 SP2 which delivered more than 30 new
            back- office features as well as mobility enhancements.

      --    Maintained strong position on Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Field
            Service Management.

      --    Unveiled and demonstrated a fresh focus on reverse logistics at the
            Reverse Logistics Conference & Expo in Las Vegas in February 2008.


      Astea will host a conference call that will be broadcast live over the
Internet on May 16, 2008 at 11:00 AM EDT to discuss the Company's first quarter
financial results. Investors can access the call from the Company's Web site at
