MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - July 17, 2007 - eGain Communications Corporation (OTC BB:
EGAN.OB), provider of the industry\'s top-rated* customer service and contact center
software for in-house or on-demand SaaS deployment, today announced that eGain
ServiceT, the company's software suite for customer service, has received the
"Designed for EMC Documentum" logo designation, a mark of quality and value that
customers insist on in enterprise applications. The "Designed for EMC Documentum"
accreditation demonstrates that eGain Service has successfully met a comprehensive
set of criteria for good design, development and implementation. eGain is the first
customer interaction hub software provider to receive this accreditation.

Enterprises often want to use one content management system to store all content
including customer-related documents such as orders, loan applications, contracts
and new account requests. The Designed for EMC Documentum accreditation enables
attachments in customer emails in formats such as Microsoft® WordT, Adobe Acrobat®
ReaderT and others, to be archived in storage infrastructure allocated to the EMC
Documentum platform - all from within eGain Service customer service software.
Contact center agents are able to retrieve these documents into eGain Service, when
they subsequently interact with customers.

eGain Service received design accreditation by meeting high standards for
application design, development, configuration, installation processes and overall
quality. As a member of the Designed for EMC program, eGain received specialized
design consultation and guidance, along with access to dedicated EMC content
management technical resources. eGain will also be able to include specialized
"Designed for EMC Documentum" logos on packaging, marketing collateral, and other
promotional materials pertaining to their accredited offering, signifying to
customers that eGain Service meets high standards for architectural compliance with
the Documentum architecture and leverages development best practices.


"By providing eGain Service as a packaged offering on the EMC Documentum platform,
eGain is enabling contact centers to boost performance and customer experience,
while curbing costs, by helping them leverage existing content assets in the
enterprise," said Randy Ziegler, Director, Developer Platform Programs, EMC. "The
offering's status as 'Designed for EMC-accredited' demonstrates eGain's commitment
to the Documentum platform and the quality of their offering. Partners such as
eGain build solutions on the Documentum platform to enable customers to leverage the
