  GAITHERSBURG, MD, Apr 29 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
BroadSoft, Inc., the worldwide leader in VoIP applications, today
announced that Technology Marketing Corporation's (TMC(R)) Unified
Communications magazine (www.uc-mag.com) has named the company's Hosted
Unified Communications solution a recipient of its 2008 Product of the
Year Award.

    "BroadSoft(R) has proven they are committed to quality and excellence
while addressing real needs in the marketplace. Unified Communications is
pleased to grant a 2008 Product of the Year Award to their Hosted Unified
Communications (UC) solution," said Rich Tehrani, TMC President and
Editor-in-Chief of Unified Communications magazine. "We're proud to honor
their hard work and accomplishments and look forward to more innovative
solutions from BroadSoft in the future."

    BroadSoft's Hosted UC enables service providers to deliver powerful
communications solutions to enterprises in a software as a service (SaaS)
model. It combines the Microsoft Solution for Hosted Messaging and
Collaboration (HMC) Version 4.5 with BroadSoft's Hosted Business
Telephony. The solution provides one platform for voice, presence,
instant messaging, video or web conferencing, allowing an employee to
work anywhere and collaborate in real-time.

    "UC is quickly becoming the holy grail of enterprise communications for
its ability to transform business processes and increase workforce
productivity. Unfortunately, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are
unable to realize its power due to the high cost and complexity of
deploying an on-premise solution," said Alex Doyle, senior director of
solutions at BroadSoft. "BroadSoft's hosted solutions eliminate this
burden, thus enabling companies of any size to reap the benefits of
advanced communications solutions. UC is not just for large enterprises
anymore."

    "In the current economic climate, it's important that SMBs have access to
UC solutions that help them enhance their productivity with the resources
they have," said Alex Danyluk, industry director, global telecom business
for the Communications Sector at Microsoft Corp. "Hosted UC from BroadSoft
and Microsoft allow service providers to offer the advantages of software
plus services, enabling SMBs to decrease infrastructure costs, improve
productivity, and enhance communications integrated with their
applications and processes."
