BROADSOFT'S BROADWORKS NAMED VOICE SERVER 'PRODUCT OF THE YEAR' BY LEADING INDUSTRY PUBLICATION, NETWORK MAGAZINE

Award Recognizes BroadSoft's Market Leadership and Technology Innovation

GAITHERSBURG, MD, May 23, 2002 - BroadSoft, Inc., the leading provider of voice applications and servers, today announced that its flagship product, BroadWorks, has been honored with Network Magazine's prestigious 'Product of the Year' award in the category of Telephony and Messaging. BroadWorks was named the best Voice Server product in the category. CMP's Network Magazine annually recognizes the hard work and thought leadership of the companies that have successfully delivered innovative products.

BroadSoft was selected to receive this honor by the publication's editors, who consulted industry analysts, vendors, and customers before selecting the companies that they view as impacting the industry through product innovation. Previous 'product of the year' winners include such industry leaders as Cisco, Microsoft, and Nortel Networks. The list of this year's winners is featured in the May 2002 issue of Network Magazine.

Recognized as one of the networking industry's longest running awards programs, Network Magazine's Product of the Year Awards are given to the products and services in the networking market deemed by the editors as most significant to the magazine's readers and industry experts. "The Product of the Year Awards have become an industry tradition and are eagerly anticipated each year by Network Magazine readers," said Steve Steinke, editor in chief.

BroadWorks is the industry's first complete set of integrated voice applications and servers designed to enable service providers to deliver basic and enhanced voice services to enterprises of any size. The BroadWorks product family offers carrier class scalability and reliability, enabling service providers to offer a comprehensive portfolio of voice applications such as voice mail, conferencing, and auto attendant as well as personal calling functions such as selective call forwarding and notification, call transfer, and simultaneous ringing. In addition to the comprehensive set of services, BroadWorks empowers service providers and enterprise administrators with the ability to use the web to conduct administrative functions via BroadWorks' web-based portal, CommPilot. CommPilot provides an alternative user interface for enhanced services, replacing the cumbersome flash-hook and star codes of a standard phone. For administration, patent-pending CommPilot provides multiple tiers of intuitive, easy-to-use web interfaces that simplify configuration and management of services for the end-user, group administrator, and service provider.

"We are very proud that Network Magazine has names BroadWorks the best offering in the voice server market," said Scott Wharton, vice president of marketing for BroadSoft. "This award further validates BroadSoft's market leadership and commitment to delivering the most feature-rich and innovative portfolio of enhanced voice services."
