Customer Service


Press Release Body = OTTAWA, Canada - June 19, 2007 - Objectworld Communications
Corp., a leading provider of Unified Communications software for Microsoft Windows
platforms, has announced the Objectworld ConnectT Interoperability Program. The
program certifies and provides support for partner products and/or services as
interoperable with Objectworld Unified Communications ServerT.
For Objectworld partners, resellers and customers, the program provides an
opportunity to deploy an open, certified and supported, end-to-end unified
communications solution. For customers, that means unprecedented choice of hardware
and software with the assurance that the pieces will work together.

For Objectworld customers, Connect makes VoIP deployment simple and flexible.
"Objectworld's commitment to interoperability singled out UC Server from a field of
mostly proprietary competitors," said Don Reece, director of information technology
at Pembina Trails School Division. "I told Objectworld we had Dell switches, and
they said, 'We can work with Dell.' I told them we'd like to use Polycom handsets
and they said, 'We can work with Polycom.' I knew we could switch handsets, gateways
or servers if we chose to down the road, and that we could rely on Objectworld's
excellent second-level support for any Connect-certified products. It made our
decision to buy UC Server that much easier."

The program also provides partners with an opportunity to increase market share,
brand awareness and revenues through joint marketing and training programs with
Objectworld. "Polycom's SoundPoint IP deskphones deliver exceptional sound quality,
an intuitive user interface and are easy to deploy," said Tim Yankey, director of
product marketing at Polycom. "Objectworld's Connect interoperability program
ensures our customers that their telephones will operate seamlessly and reliably as
part of their Objectworld UC Server ecosystem."
The program consists of two designations, Objectworld ConnectT and Objectworld
Connect PLUST. Program designations are awarded to products based on levels of
interoperability. With a Connect PLUS product, customers will be able to add the
device or service during their install of UC Server without any configuration on
their part. Connect designates a product that requires minimal configuration for a
customer to add the device or service to their install of UC Server. Objectworld
provides second-level, system-wide support for all Connect-designated products and
services.

"The Connect program offers our customers unrivalled peace of mind," said Steve
Grassie, vice-president of business development and marketing at Objectworld. "A
customer can take a Connect PLUS-certified SIP phone and just plug-it in to the
network and UC Server will find it and configure it automatically. The combination
of simplicity of deployment and choice is unmatched by any other vendor in the
industry today, period."
