Press Release Body = Mountain View, Calif. (March 21, 2006): eGain Communications
Corporation (OTC: EGAN.OB), provider of the industry\'s top-rated* customer service
and contact center software for in-house or on-demand deployment, announced today
that The LoanLink Center (TLC), a credit union system owned contact center
outsourcer, has selected eGain KnowledgeAgentT and eGain MailT, from within the
eGain OnDemandT customer service software suite, to improve customer service and
consumer experience by increasing the speed, consistency, and quality of responses.

The industry\'s first-ever on-demand eService software, eGain OnDemandT has been used
by companies of all sizes, including large enterprises, for over eight years. TLC
will implement on-demand versions of eGain\'s knowledge management and email
management applications to better route, track, and resolve consumer inquiries and
increase overall customer satisfaction.

TLC selected eGain over other vendors because of its expertise in the financial
services sector and the multidepartmental capability of eGain OnDemand, which
enables TLC to lower the overall cost of ownership and also partition the knowledge
base to meet the unique needs of each of its 400 credit union clients, while
allowing agents to share common parts of the knowledge base across credit unions.
The eGain knowledge base enables agents to provide quicker responses with greater
accuracy and consistency.

Flexible deployment and integration options were also a key requirement for TLC.
With eGain OnDemand, TLC will be up and running quickly and has the option of
bringing the solution in-house later. eGain CTI AdapterT provides easy integration
with TLC\'s existing phone system, enabling the display of the appropriate credit
union screen and content based on call origination and other factors.

\"With eGain we will address our primary service pain-points first and then build out
our contact center capabilities to support our rapidly growing business,\" Sean
Hicks, TLC\'s General Manager, said. \"eGain\'s solutions and services play a key role
in our future success.\"

\"Effective, efficient, and consistent multichannel customer service is now more
essential than ever in the financial services industry sector,\" said Ashu Roy, CEO
of eGain. \"We are happy to welcome TLC to a long list of eGain OnDemand clients.\"
