Press Release Body = Mountain View, Calif., November 7, 2006 - eGain Communications Corp. (OTC BB: EGAN), a leading provider of customer service and contact center software for on-premise or on-demand deployment, today announced that the company is seeing strong adoption of its chat and cobrowse products.
According to Forrester Research, customer experience is becoming the sole differentiator in more industries, particularly in consumer-facing industries like communications, technology, and financial services, helping leading companies to attract and retain customers, as well as continually increase wallet share of those customers.

Many of eGain\'s marquee clients are using the company\'s chat and cobrowse solutions to deliver memorable customer service experiences and increase sales. These solutions enable businesses to help customers find information, fill out enrollment forms, complete shopping transactions, get advice, and learn to use web self-service.
eGain provides the industry\'s most comprehensive and robust set of integrated solutions for a broad range of web collaboration needs including the following:
. eGain® ChatBotT for automated chat . eGain® ChatT for agent chat, which includes page-pushing, proactive chat, and click-to-call capabilities . eGain® CobrowseT - Standard Edition for rapid deployment of standard cobrowse capabilities . eGain® CobrowseT - Advanced Edition for proxy-based cobrowsing
Some of eGain\'s clients are innovating in web collaboration, combining phone interactions with concurrent cobrowsing, to deliver unique customer experiences. Furthermore, eGain plans to enable cobrowsing for rich internet applications by adding support for the following standards in 2007:
. AJAX® in Spring 2007 . Adobe® Flash® and Adobe® FlexT in Summer 2007
\"As web collaboration products become more robust, they create a fuller experience for the customer, and you have a lot more options to work with than just text chat,\" said John Ragsdale, VP of Research for SSPA (Society of Service and Support Professionals). \"My long-term view is that full web collaboration (remote access, screen sharing, joint form fill, page push, etc.) can even be a better experience than phone support.\"
\"We continue to co-innovate with our clients, delivering best-in-class applications and enabling competitive advantage for these clients,\" said Ashu Roy, CEO of eGain. \"Stellar examples of this co-innovation, our web collaboration solutions are an integral part of the eGain Service customer interaction hub suite.\"
