San Francisco, CA - January 16th, 2002 - Technology Marketing Corporation's (TMC^TM) Internet Telephony Magazine rewards Indigo Software's forward-thinking product, the Indigo PIM Client^TM, pioneer of SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)-based Presence & Instant Messaging solutions with the 2001 Product of the Year Award.

The Internet Telephony Magazine Product of the Year Award is designed to honor products and services that have made a remarkable impact on the convergence of voice and data. "The Indigo PIM Client^TM is a clear leader in the innovative product sector of the IP communications industry. We are proud to recognize Indigo Software's hard work and vision with a Product of the Year Award for 2001," said Rich Tehrani, president of TMC.

The Indigo PIM Client^TM is a Presence & Instant Messaging application based entirely on SIP. A world-first, it was forerunner to Microsoft's Windows^® Messenger and the award is strong validation of Indigo's industry vision that the demand for Presence & Instant Messaging services would explode in the coming years. Indeed, according to IDC market figures, from the estimated 133 million IM users in 2000, the market is set to more than triple by 2004 and reach a whopping 427 million users.

"In order to remain at the forefront of this trend, Indigo Software designed the Indigo PIM Client^TM as an initial part of its Presence & Instant Messaging product strategy, which is currently evolving into a general SIP-based presence offering," said Nicolas Dramais, Product Manager at Indigo Software.
