Kaspersky Lab Extends its Intelligent Virtual Agent Lena from Customer Support to the Sales Function

Expansion of Lena provides customers with a positive, consistent and
contextually appropriate customer experience

EMERYVILLE, CA - January 19, 2011 - VirtuOz, Inc., the leading provider of
intelligent virtual agents (IVAs) for online marketing, sales, and support,
today announced that Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content
and threat management solutions, has extended the mission of Lena, its
VirtuOz IVA, to online sales. By integrating Lena into its online retail
operation, Kaspersky Lab can now provide personalized sales assistance to
customers 24/7.

Originally implemented for customer support, Lena's presence has delivered
an 85 percent average customer support resolution rate, and decreased call
center inquires and emails by 22 percent. Capitalizing on this success,
Kaspersky Lab extended Lena's capabilities into its online retail function,
where she will assist customers with product selection.

"In just a few months, Lena has exceeded our sales support expectations,"
said Michael Neumeyer, director of online operations of Kaspersky Lab
Europe. "Lena's ability to provide personalized assistance in the product
selection and purchasing process has resulted in an 80 percent sales support
success rate."

Expanding Lena into Kaspersky Lab's sales operations enables her to provide
a broader scope of services to customers. By deploying her across sales and
support and integrating her with the existing customer database, Lena can
identify each client's individual needs based on their profile. Using this
information, she can also offer customized technical support and solutions
throughout the ordering and payment process, resulting in an engaging, fast,
and successful interaction that improves customer loyalty, satisfaction and
sales.

Lena's expansion corresponds with recent research stating that "The
traditional view of customer service is blurring into all areas of the
customer life cycle. Savvy eBusiness leaders recognize the growing
alignment of service, sales, marketing, and brand to engage customers in an
unfractured customer conversation," (Source: Forrester, "The Metamorphosis
to Agile Customer Service," August 23, 2011).

Kaspersky Lab has additional plans to extend Lena's capabilities into the
customer upgrade center to facilitate licensing and renewals.
