iLinc Selected By Altiris For Enterprise Web Conferencing

Software Company Standardizes on iLinc for Organization-Wide Web Conferencing

PHOENIX, Arizona (August 02, 2006) –

iLinc Communications, Inc. (AMEX:ILC), developers of Web conferencing software and audio conferencing solutions, today announced that Altiris, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATRS), a pioneer of service-oriented management solutions, has entered into an agreement to license iLinc’s Enterprise Unlimited Web Conferencing program. Altiris intends to use the iLinc platform for internal purposes such as virtual classroom training courses, online sales presentations, Webcasts, and to provide online technical support.

Altiris had been using several different Web conferencing providers to meet the specific requirements of various departments, however, Altiris has selected iLinc to standardize its conferencing needs throughout the organization while delivering a comprehensive platform that incorporates data security and administrative control suitable for enterprise-wide deployment. Altiris has taken advantage of the iLinc Enterprise Unlimited licensing program to provide flexible conferencing options for the global software manufacturer.

“The iLinc technology offers some special features we wanted for online meetings, customer support, training, and Webcasts that match the most common ways we use Web conferencing as a company,” commented Heman Smith, Director of Data Center Operations for Altiris, Inc. “And importantly, they also offer better options for management of users and content, as well as bandwidth controls and point-to-point data security. The new Enterprise Unlimited program should help us realize considerable savings while providing our staff with continuous access to Web and audio conferencing tools.”

iLinc recently received the 2006 Excellence in Technology Award from industry analyst Frost and Sullivan. iLinc won the prestigious award by providing “…breakthrough technology that addresses real issues facing organizations deploying Web conferencing enterprise-wide. The iLinc software has been carefully constructed to be easily deployed, it integrates very well with existing business systems, and it contains enterprise deployment tools that truly give administrators control of their Web conferencing system.” The award also acknowledged the company’s technological superiority in developing a behind-the-firewall collaboration solution for users from both inside and outside the network, and for iLinc’s unique data security method.

“Altiris is another example of an organization that had individual departments using different Web conferencing providers, but when they decided to move to a standardized conferencing solution, they chose iLinc,” noted James M. Powers, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of iLinc Communications. “One of the reasons that our organization has been successful in growing relationships with customers such as Altiris is that we offer licensing structures that are cost-effective for organizations with Web conferencing usage that ranges from very light to very heavy, and for all points in between. We offer a clear migration path that enables companies to move from per-minute Web and audio conferencing users to concurrent license purchasers and ultimately, to Enterprise Unlimited accounts as their needs grow. We also provide award-winning technology that is built to address the stringent requirements of the IT organization and designed for enterprise-wide deployment.”
