Industry’s Most Complete On Demand CRM Solution Honored for Outstanding Innovation and Value

Bozeman, Mont (January 03, 2006) –

RightNow® Technologies (NASDAQ: RNOW) today announced that RightNow CRM(TM) 7.5 has been honored with Customer Inter@ction Solutions’ 2005 Product of the Year award.

This is the sixth consecutive year that RightNow has won the magazine’s Product of the Year award.

RightNow CRM is the industry’s most complete on demand CRM solution. It delivers unmatched breadth, depth and integration of functionality across marketing, sales and service processes–uniquely enabling organizations to optimize the lifetime value of their customer relationships and the end-to-end quality of their customer experience.

RightNow CRM’s three applications–RightNow Marketing(TM), RightNow Sales(TM) and RightNow Service(TM)–are seamlessly engineered with a common database, common business rules management, and a common workflow engine. By automating such a broad range of processes and eliminating the boundaries between customer-facing departments, RightNow CRM provides critical and tangible business advantages: marketing leads can be automatically routed to salespeople, data from service interactions can be used to improve marketing campaign targeting, and salespeople can avoid being surprised by open service incidents and/or active marketing promotions.

RightNow’s on demand model eases implementation, accelerates time-to-benefit and increases ROI by eliminating many of the costs associated with conventional enterprise software deployments.

“Each year Customer Inter@ction Solutions magazine bestows its Product of the Year awards on companies that have demonstrated excellence in technological advancement and application refinements,” Nadji Tehrani, executive group publisher and editor-in-chief of Customer Inter@ction Solutions, said. “RightNow has demonstrated to the editors of Customer Inter@ction Solutions that it has gone the extra mile to help improve both the customer experience and ROI for the companies that use its technology.”

Customer Inter@ction Solutions, which is published by Technology Marketing Corporation, is highlighting its 2005 Product of the Year Award winners in its January and February 2006 issues.

“As this award demonstrates, RightNow continues to lead the CRM industry in ways that directly and quantitatively drive value for our customers,” Greg Gianforte, CEO and founder of RightNow, said. “We are fully committed to developing CRM solutions that enable organizations across all markets to deliver a competitively differentiated customer experience, grow revenue, and achieve greater efficiencies across their marketing, sales, and customer service operations.”
