Telligent, a leading enterprise software company that enables customer and
employee collaboration, announced today that veteran software entrepreneur and
executive Patrick Brandt has been named chief executive officer and a member of
its board of directors, effective immediately. Brandt succeeds Rob Howard,
Telligent`s founding CEO.

Howard, who founded Telligent in 2004 and has been the company`s chief executive
officer since its inception, has been named chief technology officer. This will
enable him to focus on product development and strategy. Under his leadership,
Telligent was the first to introduce a fully-integrated community platform and
advanced social analytics.

"We are fortunate to have Patrick," says Howard, "Evident by his track record,
Patrick has exemplary leadership skills and a keen focus on operational
excellence which will help shape Telligent as we continue our growth and global
expansion. In addition to being a decisive leader, Patrick has demonstrated a
unique commitment to customers, corporate culture, and the community, which
makes me proud to have him beside me in leading Telligent."

"I feel privileged to join Telligent at such an exciting time," says Brandt.
"Rob is a visionary in the technology industry. Working alongside someone as
thoughtful and innovative as Rob will be exciting and rewarding."

Prior to joining Telligent, Brandt was the founder and chief executive officer
of Skywire Software. During his eight-year tenure at Skywire Software, Brandt
led the company through organic growth and acquisitions, building a diversified
software company that employed over 600 people and served more than 2,400
customers worldwide. In July 2008, Brandt led and negotiated the sale of Skywire
Software. Most recently, he served as Chairman and CEO of iWave Software, a
spin-off of Skywire Software. Brandt will retain the role of Chairman with iWave
Software.

Patrick Brandt has earned several accolades for his business acumen, leadership
and community service, including the Ernst & Young 2008 Southwest Area
Entrepreneur of the Year Award. An active community volunteer, Brandt serves on
the boards of several non-profit organizations focused on promoting education
and entrepreneurship among at-risk youth and encouraging philanthropy to
