Mountain View, Calif., April 5, 2007 - eGain Communications (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, announced today that CRM magazine has named eGain as the “One to Watch for 2007” in the web-support services category.

The award was based on a combination of measures that included revenue, year-over-year growth, and reputation for customer satisfaction, depth of functionality, and company direction.

“The ‘One to Watch’ award was given to eGain for its continued innovation in software and services for implementing customer interaction hubs. I look forward to seeing their continued growth,” said David Myron, Editorial Director, CRM magazine.

Jointly conceived and developed by eGain and its blue-chip customers, eGain Service™ directly addresses the mindset of today’s consumers, who expect a broad choice of communication channels and superior service quality when interacting with their favorite brands.
