(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) NATIONAL HARBOR, MD, May 13 / MARKET WIRE/ --

C3IP Communications, LLC, a
provider of hosted voice, video and data IP solutions for business, in
conjunction with BroadSoft, Inc., a leading provider of VoIP application
software, today announced that C3IP will demo its VoIP AddOn for ACT!, the
first carrier-grade voice mashup with the ACT! contact and customer
management software, at Sage Software's Insights 2008, held here from May
12-15 at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center. Insights brings
together thousands of business partners from across North America,
representing nearly all Sage Software products and services.

The VoIP AddOn seamlessly integrates Sage's ACT! solution with BroadSoft's
carrier-grade
BroadWorks? VoIP application platform, the platform of choice among
leading service providers for the delivery of hosted telephony and unified
communications. The VoIP AddOn solution enables call management
capabilities within ACT!.

The VoIP AddOn for ACT! was developed as part of the BroadSoft Xtended
program, a Web 2.0 initiative to add voice features to business and
consumer applications. C3IP and CRM Addon Factory, an ACT! addon developer,
used the BroadWorks APIs to create the VoIP AddOn. C3IP will conduct live
demos of the VoIP AddOn throughout the Insights 2008 event in Booth 320.

C3IP also announced today that it is now a Valued Vendor of Sage, offering
discounted telephony services to Sage Business Partners.

"The interest from the ACT! community in our VoIP AddOn has been
tremendous," said Cory Miller, principal of C3IP. "We look forward to
extending our carrier-grade solution to all of the Sage Business Partners.
Sage partners receive an exclusive rate to ensure cost savings and a
premium telephony solution."

ACT! has 2.8 million registered users and an additional 43,000 corporate
account customers.

The BroadWorks-based VoIP AddOn for ACT! enables:

-- Automatic screen pops from CRM database records based on Caller ID
-- Complete call history automatically embedded into each ACT! database
record
-- Note taking for each call during and/or after the call
-- Click-to-dial calling directly from within the ACT! database
-- Convenient storage of voicemails in an ACT! contact's history
-- Receipt of voicemail messages via email (as a .wav file)
-- 4-digit extension dialing from ACT!, even to co-workers in different
cities.

"C3IP serves as a great example of how service providers and application
developers are taking advantage of our Xtended program to create new
service offerings by mashing up BroadSoft voice features with other
solutions," said Michael Lauricella, director of BroadSoft Xtended. "We're
sure the VoIP AddOn for ACT! will be a hit among the Sage Business Partners
attending Insights 2008."

The VoIP AddOn for ACT! is for sale at http://www.voipaddon.com/ and the
