Event to Focus on Implementing Trusted Customer Communications, Enforcing Government Regulations and Corporate Best Practices, and Boosting Consumer Adoption of Electronic Channels
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/06/2006 -- eGain Communications Corporation (OTC BB: EGAN), provider of the industry's top-rated* customer service and contact center software for in-house or on-demand deployment, today announced that it will host an online seminar on Thursday, February 16th, from 11:00 am to noon PST, featuring speakers from Gartner, eGain and Adobe Systems. The webinar will focus on trends, issues and best practices on managing security and compliance when financial services companies communicate sensitive information to their consumers and business customers, without losing effectiveness and efficiency.

Speakers will include Esteban Kolsky, director of CRM research at Gartner; Scott Lehrbaum, manager of business development at Adobe Systems; and Fred Szponer, director of financial services solutions at eGain.

Email and online customer service are critical differentiators for financial services companies across banking, insurance, brokerage, asset management, and related sectors. However, trusted electronic customer communications and document security present a challenge due to the sensitivity of information as well as government regulations that span content, transactions, processes, people and information transport. Moreover, information breaches such as phishing attacks are on the rise, further adding to the challenge and inhibiting adoption of online communication channels.

Attendees will learn how to:
-- Communicate securely and efficiently with consumers, business
customers, and prospects.
-- Increase customer trust and adoption of electronic channels.
-- Enforce content, process and people compliance with industry
regulations and trusted best practices while communicating with customers.
-- Manage the security of sensitive documents such as electronic
statements, financial transaction information and other sensitive
information across their entire lifecycle -- creation, transport, use, and
expiration.
-- Capture customer wallet share through innovative and unique customer
service.
