Focus on Go-to-market Plans as Company Prepares to Launch Unified Communications Platform for Enterprises

Cupertino, CA, August 23, 2005 - Adomo Inc., provider of a new generation of multi-vendor and technology-independent voice and messaging solutions for the enterprise, today announced two key management appointments. Andrew Feit, Senior Vice President of Marketing will be at the helm of all Adomo marketing programs and staff. Rob Farris, Vice President of Sales will lead the company's sales force and business development plans.

"Adomo is truly excited by these extraordinary additions to our management team," said Adomo CEO Jeff Snider. "Andy Feit's rich background in marketing to the Global 2000, and particular expertise in taking companies from start up concepts to industry leaders, will serve Adomo well as we introduce a new paradigm in unified communications. Rob Farris brings incomparable experience in executive sales management and business development within the communications environment that further strengthens our management team. Rob's strategic relationships with Fortune 1000 Enterprise accounts, Service Providers, and extensive channel management experience promise to realize the Adomo future envisioned by our founders and investors."

A former marketing executive with Verity, Inktomi, and Infoseek, Feit has taken several products from concept to run-rate revenue in both established and emerging markets. As Chief Operating Officer of Quiver, Inc., Feit drove the company's entry into the enterprise market, and positioned the start-up for a strategic acquisition by Inktomi. Earlier, as Vice President and General Manager of Infoseek's Software Division, Feit grew the enterprise software business from its inception to more than $20 Million in annual revenues and an installed base of 1,500 customers. After Infoseek was acquired by The Walt Disney Company, Feit led the sale of the software subsidiary, also to Inktomi, for more than $340 Million. Prior to joining Infoseek, Feit served as Director and Principal Analyst with Gartner Group, and spent more than 10 years with Digital Equipment Corporation where he held a variety of positions in Sales, Marketing and Product Management.

"Adomo has been quietly building the perfect solution for enterprises looking to save costs and reduce risks as they roll out next generation converged networks based on VoIP and wireless technologies" Feit said. "I'm incredibly excited about the opportunity to bring this product to market, to continue to expand our product offering, and to deliver significant value to customers in this dynamic environment."

Farris most recently ran a thriving consulting practice specializing in the development of sales infrastructure and scalable sales plans for many start-ups and companies in Silicon Valley. Previously he was Vice President of Worldwide Sales at WebEx Communications where he grew revenues significantly, by expanding the sales organization to support new international, Enterprise, and indirect markets. During his career, Farris has led and successfully scaled communications companies and sales teams, including executive positions at IBM/Rolm and US West Information Systems. Notably, Farris spent 7 years as Vice President and General Manager at Lucent Technologies/Octel Messaging Division where he led the US Sales and Customer Support organizations, managing more than 400 employees for the leading voicemail solutions vendor.

"Voicemail and unified communications are absolutely business-critical to every organization," said Farris. "As companies migrate to VoIP to take advantage of new converged applications, the irony is the transition actually puts existing functionality at risk. Adomo has a cost-effective and reliable platform which delivers advanced functional
