iTest 3.3 Recognized for Outstanding Innovation

Mountain View, Calif.—May 18, 2009— Fanfare announced today that Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) has named Fanfare's iTest® as a recipient of a 2008 Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award.

iTest 3.3 is a comprehensive testing solution for heterogeneous system and device testing. It builds on the capabilities of earlier versions to integrate test assets and automate complex system testing using hardware and software from a variety of different vendors. iTest 3.3 also enables broader use across the quality chain, from the development stage through to customer testing sites. The result is a strong test automation platform for sharing test assets that reduces product release cycles while enhancing the overall quality of product being released to the marketplace.

"We are pleased that TMCnet has recognized the strategic and valuable contribution that iTest is making to the quality process," said David Gehringer, vice president of marketing for Fanfare. "Carriers and equipment manufacturers are adopting iTest at an increasing rate in response to the poor economic conditions, not only to do more with less, but to position themselves favorably for the market's eventual recovery."

"Fanfare has been recognized with a 2008 Product of the Year Award for their excellence in the advancement of voice, data and video communications," said Rich Tehrani, TMC President and Group Editor-in-Chief. "Fanfare has proven they are committed to quality and excellence in solutions that benefit the customer experience as well as ROI for the companies that use them. I am pleased to honor their hard work and accomplishments and look forward to more innovative solutions from them in the future."

The Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award recognizes the vision, leadership and attention to detail that are the hallmarks of the prestigious award. The most innovative products and services brought to market in 2008 were selected as recipients of this year's Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award for their groundbreaking achievement.

The 2008 Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award winners can be found on the INTERNET TELEPHONY and Customer Interaction Solutions Web site.
