iLinc Web Conferencing Software Chosen by E-Z Data to Replace Multiple Web Conferencing Solutions

Company Standardizes on iLinc for Unlimited Web Conferencing

PHOENIX, Arizona (November 14, 2006) –

iLinc Communications, Inc. (AMEX:ILC), developers of Web conferencing software and audio conferencing solutions, today announced that E-Z Data, Inc., a leading provider of front-office systems for insurance companies, banks, broker-dealers, general agents, agents, and investment advisors chose iLinc to replace several Web conferencing products including WebEx(TM) and Microsoft LiveMeeting(TM).

Prior to standardizing on iLinc, E-Z Data had deployed a combination of Web conferencing products and was overspending to maintain multiple systems. Also, the company wasn’t reaping the communication improvements that stem from connecting through a single solution. E-Z Data examined several leading products as part of its standardization initiative, but only iLinc Web conferencing software met all of the company’s pricing, usability, and technology requirements.

“Our clients are very large financial institutions, so we often encounter firewall issues and other security concerns,” said Morgan Underwood, Vice President, Marketing, E-Z Data. “If we are at a client site doing a Web conferencing demo, it is critical for us to be able to quickly launch the session and smoothly change leader control back and forth. By the time we found iLinc, we understood the issues of Web conferencing,” explained Underwood. “We had used Web conferencing technologies for years and knew exactly what we wanted. iLinc satisfied our immediate needs as well as our future requirements for a solution that would grow with us.”

Approximately six months after implementing iLinc, E-Z Data upgraded to the iLinc Enterprise Unlimited licensing program to expand the benefits of iLinc to more users and more areas of the business.

Underwood summarized E-Z Data’s iLinc experience, “We experienced enough value in the initial license package to allow us to confidently invest in the Enterprise Unlimited program. Company-wide we have experienced cost reduction, better communication, and improvements in sales, development, and support processes.”

“iLinc’s Enterprise Unlimited program makes it easier for companies like E-Z Data to increase Web conferencing usage while reducing overall costs,” said James M. Powers, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of iLinc Communications. “E-Z Data joins several hundred recent organizations that have switched from our competitors’ products because as they expand their conferencing usage they continue to reap business advantages and long-term savings.”
