Posted on: Wednesday, 4 May 2005, 09:00 CDT

SAN DIEGO, May 4 /PRNewswire/ -- WiredRed(R), a technology leader in enterprise real-time communications software, today announced that e/pop(R) Professional was awarded top honors by CMP Media LLC's "Network Computing." e/pop Professional was chosen as the best Enterprise Instant Messaging (IM) product in the publication's 11th annual Well-Connected Awards ceremony held May 3, 2005.

The Well-Connected Awards recognize the most outstanding technology products and services in the networking and IT world. e/pop was evaluated in CMP Media LLC's "Network Computing" Real-World Labs(R) during 2004, along with products from 134 finalists in more than 44 categories.

"We are extremely pleased to be named the winner in the Enterprise IM category," said Allen Drennan, WiredRed's Founder and CTO. "The product was originally developed to help companies and organizations communicate more efficiently, and it was built to operate within multi-office networks, firewalls, and established network infrastructure. e/pop Professional can be considered a product that pioneered the Enterprise IM market with features that hadn't been available before, such as true enterprise directory integration. WiredRed would like to thank 'Network Computing' for recognizing e/pop in the 11th Annual Well-Connected Awards."

WiredRed's e/pop Professional takes top honors against formidable competitors Microsoft Corporation's Microsoft Office Live Communications Server and Sun Java System Instant Messaging 6.1 from Sun Microsystems.

"The Well-Connected Awards are the only industry awards given by technologists based on real-world product testing and evaluation. These awards take the pulse of the technology industry and reflect the best of what IT has to offer," said Fritz Nelson, VP and Group Publisher of the Network Computing Enterprise Architecture Group. "This is an important distinction from any other award program -- the products selected in the Well-Connected Awards are unique because they have been graded with the same criteria IT professionals use to make purchasing decisions -- truly the most outstanding products and services available."
