LOUISVILLE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 28, 2004

Raindance Communications(R), Inc. (Nasdaq: RNDC), a premier provider of integrated web and audio conferencing services, today announced that Don Detampel will join its leadership team as Chief Executive Officer. Don was most recently the chairman and CEO of OneSecure Inc. and a former executive with Global Crossing, and he currently sits on Raindance's board of directors.

"A great deal of thought has been given to Raindance's long-term strategic direction and we're strengthening our company in every way necessary to be a significant force in business communications," said Nicholas Cuccaro, Raindance's Chief Financial Officer and Interim President and CEO. "Don is the best person to lead us forward. His vision, familiarity with our goals and industry expertise will enable Raindance to exploit our technological advantage, and add to our roster of achievements. We've accomplished quite a bit this past year and our fundamentals are strong. With Don at the helm, I have no doubt our category influence will extend with the enormous opportunities ahead as Web conferencing becomes a mainstream technology."

Detampel was CEO of OneSecure, Inc., a leading provider of network security products, from April 2000 to February 2002, and he continued to serve as chairman of the company's board of directors until September 2002. Under his leadership, OneSecure raised $92 million in equity capital before the company was eventually acquired by NetScreen. Previously, Detampel held a variety of executive positions at Global Crossing, including president of its wholly owned subsidiary GlobalCenter, Inc., where he grew revenues from $28 million to $200 million within two years. GlobalCenter was eventually sold to Exodus, now Cable & Wireless, for $6.5 billion. In addition, Detampel was a board member for Global Crossing Ventures, president of Frontier Communication's Enhanced Services Group, president of ConferTech International and president of LinkUSA Corporation. Early in his career, Detampel founded and was named president of Schneider Communications.

"I am thrilled to have the opportunity to join the Raindance team. After serving as one of its board members for more than a year, it's apparent to me that the company has tremendous assets heading into a period of significant potential. My mission for the coming year is clear -- expand our market presence, build our technology lead with the future release of Raindance's next-generation service, and continue to meet or exceed our customers' expectations, all within the context of a business that is financially strong. I'm looking forward to working with each and every one of Raindance's talented employees to make this company great," said Don Detampel.
