Building on the release of Timpani™ 8.0 in September 2007, this upgraded platform supplies unprecedented reach and intelligence capabilities to LivePerson's enterprise client base. Key highlights of the Spring '08 Update include:

  --  Account-to-Account Transfer™: This feature is designed to
      facilitate seamless handoffs and transfers between LivePerson
      accounts, enabling LivePerson clients to guide consumers through
      multi-company chat interactions and transactions quickly and easily.

  --  Data Publication Service: DPS is designed to publish comprehensive
      data and events-such as critical website visitor information, contact
      center statistics and online conversion data-in real time directly to
      the client's system of record, which may include customer relationship
      management (CRM) systems, data warehouses, reporting dashboards, and
      call center heads-up displays.


  Customer Collaboration in Product Development

The Spring Update's features were developed in direct response to customer feedback and demand. LivePerson's software-as-a-service (SaaS) delivery model allows the company to release several product updates throughout the year, adding new features and functionality and making them available to clients immediately upon release.

"Consumers are demanding more and more from the Web, and we're partnering with our customers to develop innovative tools and methods that humanize the online experience," said LivePerson CEO Robert LoCascio. "Our customers recognize that the competition is just a mouse-click away, and we're helping them thrive by differentiating their service, quality and overall online experience to gain customer loyalty."

Additional Platform Enhancements

The Spring '08 Update also extends the reach of LivePerson's enterprise platform with innovative and sought-after features including:

  --  Scheduled Callback: LivePerson's proactive click-to-call solution is
      now able to deliver delayed and scheduled callback options, which are
      dynamically displayed based on agent availability.

  --  Browser-Launched Operator Console™: Leveraging LivePerson's new
      thin client Operator Console, Mac OS users can launch the application
      from any computer meeting basic browser and Java configuration
      requirements  without downloading and installing LivePerson's Operator
      Console  software.
