Bomgar Selected as Finalist for Red Herring 100 Award

Summary: Award Recognizes the 100 “Most Promising” Companies Driving the Future of Technology

San Francisco, CA - April 28, 2008 - Bomgar Corporation, the leading provider of appliance-based virtual support solutions, today announced that it has been selected by Red Herring as a finalist for the Red Herring 100 Award, a selection of the 100 most innovative private technology companies based in North America.

The Red Herring editorial board diligently surveyed the entrepreneurial scene throughout the North American region and identified the top 200, out of more than 800 closely evaluated companies, that are leading the next wave of innovation.

"We can see the exciting evolution of the technology sector reflected in the quality and variety of exceptional companies that we had to choose from in putting our list together," said Joel Dreyfuss, editor-in-chief of Red Herring. "It was tough to choose just 200 finalists from such a large list of excellent contenders, and we are very happy with the quality of the companies we selected as finalists."

Bomgar's appliance-based remote support software allows enterprises and call centers to virtualize staff resources to provide end users with faster, more accurate technical assistance. Bomgar's software works by allowing a support technician to gain access - with permission - to an end user's machine to view and resolve software-related problems. The Bomgar Box can support end users on various operating platforms, such as Windows, Linux, Mac and Windows mobile. Its software also integrates with service desk systems, such as BMC Remedy Service Desk, making it ideally suited for enterprise environments.

"With more people relying on computers for business and personal use, the more opportunity there is for something to go wrong. And users no longer have time to wait to get these issues resolve," said Joel Bomgar, CEO for Bomgar Corporation. "Being named as a Red Herring 100 finalist certainly validates the industries need for better remote support options."

The 100 winning companies will be announced at the Red Herring North America event. The CEOs of the winning startups will present their innovative ideas and technologies to an audience of leading entrepreneurs, financiers, and corporate strategists at the event in San Jose, California, on May 12-14 at the Fairmont. This year's Red Herring 100 North America event marks the 11th anniversary of the Red Herring 100 Awards. In celebration, the event will feature keynote addresses from legendary VC investors and CEOs of leading Internet, information, and communications companies. Register online
