Press Release Summary: Leading customer service software provider recognised for
assessing the "state of customer service" in the UK and offering free benchmark
analysis for enterprise contact centres

Press Release Body: Mountain View, CA and Slough, UK, February 6, 2008: eGain
Communications (OTCBB: EGAN.OB), a leading provider of multichannel customer service
and knowledge management software for in-house or on-demand SaaS deployment, today
announced that the company was named to the 2007 Call Centre Focus (CCF) Hotlist.
eGain was recognised for its propagation of call centre best practices by conducting
a "state of customer service" research study and offering a no-cost benchmark
analysis to enterprise call centres. Nominated by its peers, eGain is the only
multichannel customer service and knowledge management software company to be
included in the list.

Over the years, the CCF Hotlist has played an important role in recognising
companies that have contributed to the contact centre industry. Released in January
2008, the list recognises 39 companies and individuals who are striving to improve
the call centre industry.

Claudia Hathway, editor at CCF commented: "Here at CCF, we strongly believe that the
Herculean effort made by call centres every day should not go unnoticed, so the
Hotlist acts as a run-down of these heroes - as nominated by their peers. We hope
that it will serve not only as a reminder of what a fantastic industry we work in,
but also as a guide to the innovation and strategy that can be employed to achieve
the seemingly impossible."

eGain's "state of customer service" research assessed the responsiveness, quality
and capabilities of 125 major UK companies in email customer service and web
self-service. The free benchmark analysis gives qualified companies an opportunity
to benchmark their customer service practices against industry best practices, and
develop a roadmap to achieving \"best in class\" performance. The list also recognised
two eGain clients, Barclays Business Banking and Vodafone.

Andrew Mennie, General Manager and Vice President EMEA eGain, commented: "We have
been serving the call centre industry for over a decade. The selection of eGain and
our clients to this important list not only recognises our ongoing initiatives to
propagate best practices but also the customer service excellence we have enabled
for our clients."
