Centre Clients

Press Release Body = Slough, United Kingdom, January 4, 2007: eGain Communications
Corporation (OTCBB: EGAN), a leading provider of customer service and contact centre
software, is today announcing it has been selected by N-Allo to implement eGain
KnowledgeT software to enhance the customer service N-Allo\'s contact centre agents
deliver on behalf of customers.

N-Allo is today one of Belgium\'s leading customer contact centres. N-Allo has
selected to implement eGain KnowledgeT to strengthen its customer service
proposition.

eGain was selected following a competitive tender process. In the first instance,
eGain implemented a proof of concept knowledge management solution to support
incoming calls for the social energy supply network of Flanders.

N-Allo will implement eGain Knowledge across a selection of suitable clients in its
target markets in 2007. eGain Knowledge will help N-Allo capture the knowledge of
its most experienced agents and centralise this knowledge across all applications,
by integrating with N-Allo\'s existing state-of-the-art technology infrastructure, to
include its CRM and back-end systems, current knowledge management system, Intranet
and website.

The pilot delivered a number of clear benefits. eGain worked with N-Allo to design
the knowledge base from a consumer enquiry perspective as opposed to a technical
delivery perspective, making the knowledge easily accessible to everyone and
intuitive to use. This has resulted in more knowledgeable, accurate and faster
customer service delivery and increased agents\' ability to fluidly communicate with
consumers. Time taken to make system changes has been slashed by 20%.

The benchmarking within eGain KnowledgeT has helped identify potential efficiencies
in the grid operators\' processes and the ease of change has delivered greater
flexibility to them. The software has also delivered improved reporting for the
operators on query resolutions. eGain Knowledge will initially support telephone
communications.

Pepijn Gerckens, Knowledge Manager, N-Allo, commented: \"The pilot implementation
alone has delivered numerous clear benefits. The agents using eGain Knowledge have
been hugely enthusiastic about the flexibility it has brought, so too have the grid
operators themselves. We are looking forward to bringing these same benefits to all
aspects of our service delivery for a number of clients.

\"We believe working with eGain will strengthen our offering and enable us to take
advantage of the impending deregulation of the utilities market. We do however also
plan to integrate eGain Knowledge with our non-utilities customers too.\"

Andrew Mennie, Vice President and General Manager EMEA, eGain, stated: \"N-Allo
offers state-of the-art contact centre facilities to its clients, as such we are
delighted that eGain Knowledge has been selected as N-Allo\'s knowledge management
solution of choice. Following a successful pilot, we are looking forward to
providing benefits across the full spectrum of N-Allo\'s service offering.\"
