Press Release Summary = Software Magazine ranks eGain as one of the world's 500
largest software companies

Press Release Body = Mountain View, Calif. (October 25, 2006): eGain Communications
Corp. (OTC BB: EGAN.OB), provider of the industry\'s top-rated* customer service and
contact center software for in-house or on-demand deployment, today announced its
inclusion on the Software 500, Software Magazine's list of the world's foremost
software and services providers.

The Software 500 is a revenue-based ranking of the world's largest software and
services suppliers targeting medium to large enterprises, their IT professionals,
software developers, and business managers involved in software and services
purchasing. The ranking is based on total worldwide software and services revenue
for 2005. This includes revenues from software licenses, maintenance and support,
training and software-related services and consulting. Suppliers are not ranked on
their total corporate revenue, since many have other lines of business, such as
hardware. The financial information was gathered by a survey prepared by King
Content Co. and posted at www.Softwaremag.com, as well as from public documents.

"The software industry continues to be dynamic with more than 90 new companies on
the list this year," says John P. Desmond, editor of Software Magazine and
Softwaremag.com. "The Software 500 helps CIOs, senior IT managers and IT staff
create the short list of business partners. It is a quick reference of vendor
viability."

"Being part of the Software 500 for the fourth year in a row is a great honor for
eGain," said Ashu Roy, CEO of eGain. "Moving up almost 30 spots from last year
shows the increasing importance of customer service as a business differentiator and
the growing demand for robust customer interaction hub software."

The \"Software 500\" list is published online at www.softwaremag.com.
