iPass Customer Base Surpasses 400 of the Forbes Global 2000

Some of the World's Largest Companies Trust iPass for Enterprise Mobility


REDWOOD SHORES, CA--(Marketwire - August 8, 2007) - iPass Inc. (NASDAQ: IPAS), a global provider of services that unify the management of enterprise mobility, today announced that it now serves more than 400 of the Forbes Global 2000 list of the world's largest public companies. Of those customers, 50 are among the 100 largest corporations in the world, according to Forbes. iPass customers on the Global 2000 list include industry leaders such as Sony, Nokia, General Motors, eBay, Scania and Reuters.

iPass services have broad appeal, with customers spread across all of the 27 industry categories in the Global 2000, and over 10 percent customer penetration in 25 of these sectors. The markets where iPass has shown particular strength include "drugs and biotech," "software and services," and "aerospace and defense." Recently iPass has seen marked growth in the "consumer durables" and "insurance" sectors, reflecting expanding interest in mobility within industries not usually characterized by a highly mobile workforce.

A global, channel-oriented business strategy has been key to the company's success. Nearly half of its Global 2000 customers are served by an iPass solution partner, with 73 percent of those companies added in 2007 having been delivered through the channel. In addition, with over half of its Global 2000 customers headquartered outside the US, the diversity of the iPass customer base illustrates the importance of mobility to organizations around the world. iPass has seen the highest penetration in North America and Europe, where roughly a quarter of Global 2000 companies use iPass.

"iPass is dedicated to solving the mobility management problems of the world's largest companies, and has developed expertise in addressing the complexities of serving globally-distributed multinationals," said Joel Wachtler, vice-president of marketing and strategy at iPass. "Our ability to win and grow relationships with these marquis customers is a testament to the value we bring in powering their strategic mobility initiatives."
