Integrated Research’s PROGNOSIS monitoring and diagnostics software
provides visibility into large-scale Avaya IP telephony deployments

Integrated Research (ASX:IRI), developers of PROGNOSIS system performance
monitoring and management solutions, today announced that its PROGNOSIS IP
Telephony Manager software has passed compliance testing through the Avaya
DeveloperConnection Program. The software is now compliant with key IP
telephony solutions from Avaya (NYSE:AV), a leading global provider of business
communications applications, systems and services.

A market leader with more than six year’s experience in large-scale
enterprise and managed service provider IP telephony deployments, PROGNOSIS
gives deep visibility into the state of key system components that can impact
call quality and service reliability, and provides an efficient tool that can
significantly reduce the cost of operations.

PROGNOSIS enables operational staff to monitor, diagnose and troubleshoot
their IP telephony environment in real time. PROGNOSIS also tracks system
performance and usage over time to help companies make better decisions about
capacity requirements as their deployment grows. PROGNOSIS allows operations
and management staff to better evaluate the expenses associated with deploying
their IP telephony system, such as ongoing operational costs and future
investment requirements.

"Achieving Avaya compliance demonstrates our commitment and progress with
our strategy to support multiple IP communication platforms.” said Keith
Andrews, Chief Executive Officer of Integrated Research. “Avaya is one of the
leading providers of IP telephony systems and this certification will enable
our enterprise customers and managed service providers to monitor, diagnose and
troubleshoot their Avaya, Cisco or hybrid environments with a single, proven
and effective tool.”

As a member of Avaya’s DeveloperConnection program, Integrated Research is
eligible to submit products for compatibility testing by the Avaya Solution
Interoperability and Test Lab. There a team of Avaya engineers develops a
comprehensive test plan for each application to verify whether it is Avaya
compliant. Doing so enables businesses to confidently add best-in-breed
capabilities to their network without having to replace their existing
infrastructure—speeding deployment of new applications and reducing both
network complexity and implementation costs.

"By offering compliance testing to the many innovative companies like
Integrated Research who are members of our DeveloperConnection program, Avaya
promotes fully interoperable solutions that help businesses unleash powerful
new possibilities," said Eric Rossman, Vice President, Developer Relations and
Technical Alliances, Avaya. "They are able to use Intelligent Communications to
connect employees and customers to information from wherever they are, over
whatever device they have available – getting more out of their network and
delivering new value to their bottom line."

Integrated Research will be demonstrating PROGNOSIS IP Telephony Manager at
the Avaya Asia Pacific Partner Conference in Macau in late January 2007 and at
VoiceCon Spring 07, March 5-8, 2007, at the Gaylord Palms in Orlando, Florida,
USA.
