Press Release Summary: eGain ServiceT 7.6 released in five new languages with "out
of the box" local language user interfaces

Press Release Body: Mountain View, Calif. and Slough, UK (October 2, 2007): eGain
Communications Corporation (OTC BB: EGAN.OB), provider of the industry\'s top-rated*
customer service and contact centre software for in-house or on-demand SaaS
deployment, today further demonstrated its commitment to the EMEA marketplace by
announcing the availability of eGain ServiceT 7.6 software suite in five European
languages: Dutch, German, French, Italian and Spanish, to complement the English
version.

There are plans to include support for additional languages in 2008. eGain also
plans to deploy local language versions of its website in the near future.

This development enables eGain's enterprise customers in EMEA to be able to provide
customer service and support through a local language user interface within and
across an array of interaction channels, including the phone; web self-service; web
chat and co-browsing; emails, faxes and post; and short message service (SMS).
Moreover, the solution comes with "out of the box" local language user interfaces
and enables multi-lingual customer service from a single deployment, reducing the
need for additional professional services and installations, and the total cost of
ownership (TCO) for its clients.

This announcement follows a number of recent eGain initiatives across Europe,
including the opening of a Dutch office, the signing of many European reseller and
SI partnerships and the landmark global OEM agreement with Cisco.

"This globalised version of eGain Service enhances our ability to continue to expand
in emerging markets throughout the globe. Now, non-English-speaking agents can
utilize the solution with ease, resulting in more efficient, effective contact
centre operations and enhanced customer service", said Bruce Swan, European Helpdesk
Manager at Navman.

"With a German version of eGain Service now available, eGain demonstrates the
ability to meet the specific needs of the German speaking contact centres, and is
well-positioned to expand its presence as the contact centre services market in the
region continues to mature", said Martin Hahnkamm, Manager business line Data
Services at d+s solutions in Germany.

"Multilingual customer service continues to emerge as an important differentiator
for businesses across Europe," said Andrew Mennie, Vice President and General
Manager EMEA, eGain. "We are happy to further demonstrate our commitment to the EMEA
market as a whole and to the success of our EMEA clients by delivering this
capability."
