CMN and Five9 share Technology Partnership award

June 2, 2006 - Convergent Media Network (CMN) and Five9 are pleased to announce that they have been recognized with the Technology Partnership of the year award at the 2006 VIATeC Technology Awards in Victoria, B.C. The two companies received the award on May 17 for their work in integrating CMN's 1to1^TM web pharmacy and MRM3^TM marketing platforms with the Five9 Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) solution.

CMN is the developer of the 1to1Pharmacy^TM and 1to1MD^TM and MRM3^TM web platforms. The addition of Five9's VoIP technology enhances the process flow, customer service and data tracking features. The addition also creates a powerful marketing engine for a combined solution used by professionals, call centers, and businesses through the on-demand platforms. Current markets of the CMN and Five9 solutions include real estate, mortgage banking and other verticals, with both companies are experiencing exceptional growth in the e-Health, interactive vertical pharmacy market.

"CMN's solutions are part of the growing momentum in vertical markets where demands for process and marketing are converging. This transition has pushed the envelope in the transition of the pharmacy market; CMN's technologies have led the global evolution for integrating health and pharmaceutical services for pharmacies, doctors and patients; which is interestingly similar to the evolution occurring in the global real estate development and mortgage markets," says Tim Vasko, Chief strategy Officer at CMN.

"Through integration with the Five9 VoIP system, the CMN platforms create on demand engines that power the independent businesses forming these vertical markets", Vasko said. "The need for increased 1to1 communication, and the solutions to establish, track and document the critical interactions between patients, doctors, pharmacies and customer service centres worldwide in e-health and other markets, are at the core of this integration between CMN and Five9 - after all, everyone in business needs to link the web with the telephone to run and grow a successful business."

"We are honoured to have CMN as a partner and excited about the challenges and responsibilities this relationship brings," says Melissa Prusky, president and CEO of Five9 Canada.
