Impressive Revenue Growth Also Yields Regional “Top 100” Distinction

TORRANCE, Calif., August 22, 2008—LiveOffice, a leading provider of software-as-a-service (SaaS),email hosting, email archiving and email continuity solutions, has earned a spot on this year’s Inc. 5000, a prestigious annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in the country. This ranking reflects LiveOffice’s three-year growth rate of 176.7%, which has been fueled by the increasing demand for the company’s SaaS email archiving, compliance and e-discovery solutions. LiveOffice also ranked among the Top 100 Businesses in the Los Angeles region.

“Being recognized as one of the fastest-growing companies in the nation is a huge honor for us and great validation for the growing interest in SaaS solutions,” said Nick Mehta, chief executive officer of LiveOffice. “We have big growth plans for the coming years and are thrilled with the progress we’ve made to date. This award also provides us with the perfect opportunity to thank our clients, many of whom have been with us since the beginning, for their loyalty and to reaffirm our commitment to providing them with the best technology and service levels possible.”

Cofounded a decade ago by Alexander Rusich and Matt Smith, who now serve as chief visionary officer and chief operating officer respectively, LiveOffice was one of the first technology companies in the financial services industry to recognize that software could be effectively and securely delivered as a service via the Internet. Today, the company has grown into one of the leading email archiving and compliance providers, helping more than 7,500 clients across a range of industries manage their messaging needs.

“Our research suggests that 34% of medium sized organizations are using a SaaS-based solution, while another 24% plan to adopt one or more solutions in the next 24 months,” said Brian Babineau, senior analyst with Enterprise Strategy Group. “The critical nature of email has led many companies to seek out services that help them control storage costs, meet compliance requirements and prepare for legal discovery requests. For the first time, many of these organizations are discovering that SaaS is an effective way to satisfy their email archiving and compliance needs, which is raising visibility for providers like LiveOffice. With their consistent revenue growth, we believe LiveOffice is well positioned for continued success as SaaS offerings become more mainstream.”

The 2008 Inc. 5000 list measures revenue growth from 2004 through 2007. To qualify, companies must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit and independent (not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies) as of December 31, 2007, and have had at least $200,000 in revenue in 2004, and $2 million in 2007.

TORRANCE, Calif., August 7, 2008—LiveOffice, a leading provider of software-as-a-service (SaaS),email hosting, email archiving and email continuity solutions, announced today that it has appointed Frank J. Sansone as its chief financial officer. Sansone fills this newly created position to help support the company’s ongoing growth and expansion into new markets. He brings 15 years of experience in financial management, compliance and e-discovery, and will oversee LiveOffice’s finance, administration and human resource divisions. As part of his new role, Sansone will also serve on the company’s board of directors.

“LiveOffice is poised for unprecedented growth in the next few years, and talented leaders like Frank are an integral component to achieving our long-term goals,” said Nick Mehta, chief executive officer of LiveOffice. “We are thrilled to welcome Frank to the LiveOffice family and our executive management team. His in-depth experience in the e-discovery space and understanding of complex compliance and legal issues are invaluable as we continue our leadership in the financial services industry and gain a stronger foothold in new markets.”

Sansone has extensive experience working for both public and private companies in the software and services industry. Most recently, he served as chief financial officer at Guidance Software (NASDAQ:GUID), where he oversaw the company’s worldwide financial planning and analysis, accounting, treasury and tax functions. Sansone joined the company as it began shifting its focus toward external sales through a successful initial public offering. Guidance Software received several top rankings in both the software and service provider categories of the 2008 Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey, and its EnCase product is the highest-rated e-discovery software for search, collection, identification, preservation and processing of electronically stored information.

TORRANCE, Calif., July 30, 2008 — LiveOffice, a leading provider of software-as-a-service (SaaS),email hosting, email archiving and email continuity solutions, announced today that it has been named a top 10 Electronic Discovery Software provider in the prestigious Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey. Using LiveOffice’s technology, companies are able to rapidly respond to e-discovery requests for emails and attachments without having to search backup tapes and PCs individually.

“With the growing focus on email as evidence, companies facing the prospect of litigation, regulatory actions and internal investigations are looking for more effective ways to organize and search email,” said George Socha of Socha Consulting LLC. “Our Identification category recognizes companies who rank highly in this area, based on our analysis of information obtained from 155 organizations that consume or provide electronic discovery services and software.”

LiveOffice earned distinction as a top Electronic Discovery Software Provider in the Identification category for its ability to help organizations locate emails and attachments that they may have the legal responsibility to preserve and potentially disclose in a prospective legal proceeding. Plus, LiveOffice’s SaaS delivery model means that clients are up and running in hours or days, not the traditional weeks or months required for on-premise deployments, giving legal counsel ample time to review and tag case-relevant emails before meeting with the opposing party.

“No organization can afford to ignore the possibility of being involved in litigation. But for companies already in the midst of litigation, the need for an email archiving solution is often immediate, and they don’t have the luxury of waiting weeks or months to deploy an on-premise solution,” said Walt Kasha, director of product management for LiveOffice’s archiving solutions. “With LiveOffice, organizations can respond quickly to an e-discovery request without suffering painful deployment delays or incurring considerable legal expenses.”

The Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey was created by consultants George Socha and Tom Gelbmann and examines the size, scope and growth of the electronic discovery market. The 2008 rankings will appear in the August issue of Law Technology News (http://www.lawtechnews.com/).

At the same time, they are able to help their clients rapidly deploy messaging solutions that meet their unique business, storage, compliance and legal requirements.”

According to a February 2008 Forrester report titled, SMB SaaS Adoption: Road Bumps Ahead in 2008, “In 2007 SaaS adoption in the U.S. SMB sector jumped a remarkable 58%.” In addition, Gartner notes that, “All companies should be doing some kind of email archiving. “Aligned with these trends, LiveOffice Mail Archive puts a SaaS email archiving solution at the fingertips of VARs, who are able to couple the offering with their valuable consulting expertise, which so many SMBs demand. By combining this know-how with LiveOffice’s advanced archiving solution, VARs are able to deliver tremendous value to their SMB clients, many of whom are grappling with overflowing mailboxes and immediate e-discovery demands. Mail Archive is especially attractive, since it requires no investment in hardware or software and can be deployed in just days.

TORRANCE, Calif., June 16, 2008 —To complement its existing financial services email archiving offering, LiveOffice, a leading provider of software-as-a-service (SaaS), email hosting, email archivingand email continuity solutions, today announced the release of LiveOffice Mail Archive. This new email archiving service is designed for businesses and public organizations of all sizes that need the benefits of e-discovery and mailbox management solutions, but are unable to devote the significant internal financial and IT resources required to deploy an on-premise system.

“With the amendments to the U.S. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the unrelenting explosion in email volume, interest in email archiving has expanded from the financial services giants to nearly every organization worldwide, large or small,” said Nick Mehta, new CEO of LiveOffice and former vice president and general manager of the market-leading, on-premise email archiving product, Symantec Enterprise Vault. “Speaking from personal experience, an increasing number of organizations with limited IT resources need an email archiving solution, but are struggling with the cost, complexity and risk of an internal deployment.”

LiveOffice Mail Archive’s proprietary archiving platform leverages the latest Web 2.0 and cloud computing technologies to deliver an intuitive, Microsoft Outlook-like user interface, rapid search and retrieval in seconds and a flat monthly cost per user, regardless of storage amount or retention period. Plus, with Mail Archive, customers are up and running in hours or days, not the traditional weeks or months required for on-premise deployments.

“More and more businesses are selecting SaaS email archiving solutions to satisfy their message retention, mail server management and legal discovery requirements,” said Carolyn DiCenzo, research vice president for Gartner, Inc. “In addition to meeting this immediate business need, companies are also realizing benefits unique to the SaaS delivery model, including rapid deployment, zero investment in IT infrastructure, guaranteed network availability and a reduced burden on in-house IT resources.”

Mail Archive Features

Simplify Mailbox Management: Users access, search and restore historical email from an unlimited archive using an intuitive, Microsoft Outlook-like interface, helping IT staff to:

• Reduce storage costs and backup windows through tight email server limits
• Minimize help desk calls by allowing users to restore email via self-service search
• Eliminate the need for users to create PST files (which result in IT management issues)

Protect Your Organization: Email is automatically and securely captured without user intervention. The emails and attachments are then archived and indexed, enabling organizations to:

• Enforce regulations and internal policies around email retention
• Quickly and cost effectively search, hold and produce email for e-discovery purposes
• Proactively monitor email for inappropriate language and intellectual property theft

Shift the Burden, Maintain System Control: Most importantly, LiveOffice Mail Archive is not software - it’s software-as-a-service, ensuring clients benefit from:

• No upfront hardware, software or ongoing maintenance costs
• No delays in getting their organization up and running on an archiving solution
• No worries with 99.99% uptime and geographically dispersed data centers

“Our focus at all levels is to continually improve the experience we provide our guests, which we accomplish by setting and meeting measurable goals. Over the last year, we have been migrating from on-premise applications to SaaS solutions,” said Christopher Moyson, director of IT for Give Kids The World, a non-profit resort for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families with a staff of over 130. “As part of this initiative, we needed an email archiving and compliance solution that was compatible with our current enterprise messaging and mobile servers, reduced total cost of ownership by eliminating time-consuming backups and provided search and tag capabilities, while allowing our IT department to focus on Give Kids the World’s corporate goals and business plan. LiveOffice met all these requirements, plus we were able to rapidly deploy the system.”

Pricing and Availability

Available today, LiveOffice Mail Archive starts at $8/mailbox/month with unlimited storage and retention. For more information about today’s announcement, please visit our online press kit at:http://www.liveoffice.com/newsroom/press-kit.asp.

TORRANCE, Calif., May 15, 2008 - LiveOffice, a leading provider of software-as-a-service (SaaS),email hosting, email archiving and email continuity solutions, today announced the appointment of Nick Mehta as CEO. Mehta, who joined the LiveOffice board in January 2008, succeeds company Cofounder Alexander Rusich as CEO. Rusich will continue as chairman of the board and assume the new role of chief visionary officer (CVO), overseeing the company’s long-term strategy and technology development. LiveOffice Cofounder Matt Smith remains as president and chief operating officer (COO).

“Given his wealth of experience, we are thrilled to have Nick join the executive team and are confident that he will play a pivotal role in LiveOffice’s expansion into new markets,” said Rusich. “Nick’s extraordinary energy, keen understanding of the messaging industry and commitment to continuing the company’s strong operating performance are all highly critical to our long-term success.”

For the better part of the last decade Mehta built his reputation in the email and messaging space, holding senior operating roles for public and private companies in the enterprise and consumer technology markets. He spent more than five years at Symantec Corporation (NASDAQ: SYMC) and Veritas Software Corporation (acquired by Symantec in 2005), where he served as vice president and general manager of the Enterprise Vault (formerly KVS) information archiving and discovery software business from its acquisition in 2004 until 2007. During this time, the business grew from $23 million in annual sales to over $200 million and received recognition from ESG, Gartner, Forrester, IDC and Radicati as being the leading product in the “on-premise” email archiving market.

“LiveOffice provided me with a tremendous opportunity to join a fast growing and profitable software-as-a-service (SaaS) company in the messaging industry that I’m so passionate about,” said Mehta. “I appreciate the capital cost and complexity inherent in even the best of onsite solutions, particularly for organizations with limited IT resources. I am a big believer that the SaaS model will become prevalent in messaging, as we have seen in other software categories.”

According to Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) research, organizations will archive more than 8,000 petabytes of email data between now and 2010. “This capacity is phenomenal, especially given that email archive solutions are only used by 35% of organizations,” said ESG Senior Analyst Brian Babineau. “This indicates to me that the market is ripe for innovative archiving solutions, especially for small to midsize enterprises that need a managed services approach to reap the benefits of lower storage costs, improved compliance processes and enhanced litigation readiness. This is where a company like LiveOffice comes into play, because they are well positioned to deliver the value of email archiving without requiring IT departments to buy, install, configure and maintain on-premise software solutions.” Babineau added, “Given his success in the on-premise archiving market, Nick’s decision to join LiveOffice validates that there is a huge opportunity for managed service providers.”

Prior to his role as general manager of Symantec’s Enterprise Vault, Mehta held other positions leading product management for all email-related businesses at Symantec and previously for CommandCentral, a suite of storage management solutions. Prior to Veritas, he ran product management at XDegrees, a venture-funded storage software startup that was acquired by Microsoft. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Biochemical Sciences and a Master’s degree in Computer Science from Harvard University.

• Associate Engineered to reward IT consultants and VARs for their referral activities. At this level, associates earn commission for each successful referral.
• Reseller Geared toward mid-level/regional resellers, including service providers, specialty VARs and technology/solution providers, who want to expand their service offerings. Partners in this tier benefit from private-labeling options, higher margins and recurring revenue streams.
• Strategic Designed for national and global partners who want to offer the highest value to their customers by integrating or private-labeling LiveOffice services with their existing products. This tier provides the highest levels of profit margin, client support and jointly created marketing programs.

Compare the benefits of each tier side-by-side. Or, if you are interested in becoming a LiveOffice partner, please complete the Partnership Inquiry Form.
