Press Release Body = Mountain View, Calif. (April 18, 2007) - eGain Communications
Corporation (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 Design Within Reach, Inc., a nationally recognized provider of
distinctive modern furnishings and accessories, has upgraded its previous deployment
of eGain ServiceT customer interaction hub (CIH) software.

Design Within Reach believes that modern design is a 21st century movement, the
mission of which is to serve a broad audience without sacrificing personalization,
using current technologies and production methods. The company sells primarily to
high-value customers, who look for great customer experience while interacting with
the merchant. The company therefore views customer service as a critical element to
its business growth.

Satisfied with the business value delivered by the email management application in a
previous version of eGain's CIH suite, the company recently upgraded to eGain
Service 7 to continue to provide superior speed, quality, and consistency in email
customer service as well as internal employee communications. With advanced
workflow and service level management capabilities in eGain Service 7, Design Within
Reach is routing and tracking customer service and internal employee inquiries, and
are meeting service levels on a more consistent basis. While the solution improves
agent productivity with features such as "auto-suggest" and "auto-respond", its
knowledgebase, also enables consistency of answers across agents. Design Within
Reach plans to add other interaction channels such as chat, cobrowse, and web
self-service to its eGain deployment.

"As a multichannel provider of furnishings and accessories, Design Within Reach
believes in delivering integrated and memorable customer service through online and
offline interaction channels," said Bethany Kemp, director, IT Project Management at
Design Within Reach. "With eGain, we deliver responsive email customer service
today and plan to add other interaction channels to build out an eGain-enabled
customer interaction hub for a unified multichannel customer experience."

"Working with an industry innovator such as Design Within Reach is rewarding and
validating," said Ashu Roy, eGain CEO. "We look forward to enabling continued
