Software Magazine ranks eGain as one of the world’s largest software companies for the ninth straight year

Mountain View, CA (October 13, 2011): eGain ( NASDAQ: EGAN), the leading provider of cloud and on-site customer interaction hub software, today announced its inclusion in Software Magazine’s Software 500 ranking of the world’s largest software and service providers, now in its 29th year.

“The 2011 Software 500 results show that revenue growth in the software and services industry was healthy, with total Software 500 revenue of $541.5 billion worldwide for 2010, representing approximately 10 percent growth from the previous year’s list,” said John P Desmond, editor of Software Magazine and Softwaremag.com.

“The Software 500 helps CIOs, senior IT managers, and IT staff research and create the short list of business partners,” Desmond said. “It is a quick reference of vendor viability. And the online version, to be posted soon at www.softwaremag.com, is searchable by category, making it what we call the online catalog to enterprise software.”

“As consumers go social and mobile, businesses are struggling to consistently manage interactions across the customer lifecycle,” said Ashu Roy, eGain Chairman and CEO. “Our Customer Interaction Hub platform enables businesses to deliver differentiated and consistent customer experiences across the web, social, and phone. We are pleased to be in the Software 500 list for the ninth straight year.”

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.

Some 27 percent of the 2011 Software 500 companies are privately held. More than 100 companies are on the list in 2011 for the first time, a reflection of the dynamic nature of the industry.

Go to www.softwaremag.com/register to subscribe to be among the first to see the 2011 Software 500. It is being released first in the digital publication, to be distributed in late September.

The ranking is based on total worldwide software and services revenue for 2010. This includes revenue 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.

Leading Sales and Marketing Agency Takes the Pain Out of Their SharePoint Migration Project with Metalogix Migration Manager for SharePoint

WASHINGTON, DC, – Metalogix Software, the leading provider in content lifecycle management (CLM) solutions for Microsoft® SharePoint®, Exchange®, and legacy environments, announced today that Acosta Sales & Marketing (Acosta) has successfully migrated from SharePoint 2003 to 2007 with Metalogix Migration Manager for SharePoint with zero downtime or disruption to its business. Metalogix Migration Manager for SharePoint uses a familiar copy-and-paste-style user interface so Acosta can easily optimize its data before migrating it. They can also migrate at their own pace while maintaining full fidelity and preserving views, version chains, metadata and user-edit information.

Acosta has grown from a local food broker to become the leading outsourced sales and marketing agency serving consumer packaged goods companies and retailers across North America. With this rapid growth, the company had several hundred gigabytes of document files and found that theyneeded to use many of the advanced features in SharePoint 2003 to manage them. But, when it came time to migrate to SharePoint 2007, moving the data they were using in the earlier version was problematic. The Acosta team began to evaluate third-party SharePoint migration solutions to help automate their migrationprocess, but found that few offered the ease of use and features it discovered in the Metalogix Migration Manager for SharePoint solution.

“Our options were to do the migration manually, or leverage a solution that only handled a fraction of the content. Neither approach was viable for us because they invited risk of lost data and business disruption to our collaboration environment,” said John Morales, collaboration technology manager and platform support services, Acosta Sales & Marketing. “The Metalogix solution was very successful in handling the more advanced parts of our SharePoint content migration and we just felt at ease with Metalogix. The implementation and deployment of the product is dead simple. We deployed it in our production environment in a matter of minutes with absolutely no downtime.”

Acosta uses Metalogix Migration Manager for SharePoint as a core component of its SharePoint management process. The company finds the product to be a tremendous productivity saver, making what was once a time consuming and error ridden task of migrating their SharePoint data, painless and error free.

“Working with innovative firms like Acosta is a real win/win and we are pleased to work with firms that want to implement advanced SharePoint management solutions that enhance and add value to their existing and future content management practices,” said Steven Murphy, CEO of Metalogix. “Acosta had such a positive and easy experience migrating from SharePoint 2003 to 2007 with Migration Manager for SharePoint that they have come back to us to migrate to SharePoint 2010. We strive to offer the most advanced functionality and user-friendly migration solutions in the market that make even the most tedious tasks effortless–all without disruption or downtime for our customers.”

Expansive Public Transportation Agency Reduces its Backup Window Using Secure Online Archiving Solution from Nexsan

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., -- Nexsan®, a leading independent provider of disk-based storage systems, today announced that the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) has selected the Nexsan Assureon® to improve its object storage archive, assure regulatory compliance and seamlessly support its disaster recovery strategy. Using Assureon from Nexsan, UTA has dramatically reduced its backup window from five days to one while improving the overall performance, integrity and availability of its data, video archives, and CAD drawing archives.

UTA operates a public transportation system throughout the Wasatch Front of Utah. Transportation includes fixed route buses, express buses, ski buses, three light rail lines (TRAX), and a commuter rail line (FrontRunner) that travels from Salt Lake City to Peasant View, north of Ogden. Its main operations are based in Salt Lake City.

As with most public transportation agencies, a large volume of the data UTA must protect comes from video surveillance of the stations and vehicles it operates. Literally mountains of surveillance video can be captured every day. This combined with heavy operational usage of unstructured data was creating volumes of data that UTA needed to efficiently and effectively archive to meet compliance and regulatory requirements.

Initially, UTA utilized the Assureon secure archive to protect its archived email, scanned documents and departmental/user files produced by UTA’s ~2,000 employees. Assureon provides efficient and secure protection of unstructured data compared to the traditional backup of the same files over and over that UTA performed prior to Assureon. Now UTA protects files from day one within Assureon where they are efficiently stored for simplified recovery and assured protection. In addition, Assureon periodically audits data for file integrity and availability throughout the life of the stored data.

UTA turned to its trusted solution provider, Ramsys Computer for a solution. “UTA’s data growth was having a tremendous impact on their backup window,” said Kirby Park, President, Ramsys Computer. “It was taking them five days to perform a full backup. They needed to find a solution that could dramatically reduce the backup window without requiring heavy time investments or complex management. That’s when we recommended Nexsan Assureon. It would provide the ability to separate the backup and archive streams for the enhanced performance and optimization needed to support remote replication while scaling to multiple petabytes to meet storage requirements.”

Ramsys Computer used a replicated Nexsan Assureon system to build a tiered storage solution. The replicated Assureon system was deployed at two separate sites within nine miles of each other and connected with a fiber optic IP network for disaster recovery. UTA also deployed multiple Nexsan SASBeast® storage systems with a combination of SAS and SATA drives

“I was impressed by the Nexsan Assureon solution delivered by Ramsys,” said John Jones, Desktop and Systems Supervisor, UTA. “We found significant value in the features and were even more surprised by the price. It was a fraction of that charged by other system vendors. With Assureon we reduced our backup window and significantly improved our overall storage efficiency. It has proven to be a very capable storage archive, both simple and reliable. You just set it and forget it.”

Part of the Nexsan Flexible Storage Platform™ of products, Assureon is a secure online archive that is ideal for storage optimization, regulatory and corporate compliance, and long-term archiving. For storage optimization, Assureon offloads primary storage to free up space for active data and thereby reduces the size, time and costs of monthly full backups by completely eliminating the unstructured datasets from the backup stream. For UTA, the existing backup environment was sufficient once Assureon moved the unstructured data sets from the backup stream to the archive stream. For regulatory and corporate compliance, Assureon complies with governmental regulatory requirements including HIPPA, SOX and SEC-17 and simplifies the enforcement of company data retention, privacy and protection policies. Ultimately, Assureon delivers reliability, efficiency, and ease of management UTA needs for its archiving processes.

“Organizations that rely on Assureon often see immediate results in terms of storage optimization and performance,” said Victoria Grey, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Nexsan. “But often of even greater value is the solution’s long term scalability, support for compliance regulations and absolute data integrity. Assureon delivers multiple value propositions for end-to-end data protection by providing archiving, disaster recovery and replication in a single solution that seamlessly integrate into UTA’s existing environment.”
