Telanetix Hires Experienced Video Sales Team, Executing Plan to Accelerate Development of Distribution Channel

BELLEVUE, Wash., Oct. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Telanetix Inc. (OTCBB: TNXI.OB), a leading IP solutions provider offering telepresence and VoIP services to business markets, delivers on plan to increase video sales by adding three veteran telepresence sales leaders who will report to J.D. Vaughn, Vice President of Worldwide Video Sales: Brice Drogosch, Western Vice Regional Vice President of Video Sales; Steve Parrish, Eastern Region Vice President of Video Sales; and Linda Bickelman, Director of Channel Development -- Video.

"After 18 years in the video conferencing business, I joined Telanetix because Digital Presence(TM) offers incredible quality and cost advantages and I believe our team can deliver significant improvements to our video sales," said Vaughn. "Over the past year Telanetix's technology and value proposition have generated tremendous interest in the videoconferencing end user and reseller marketplace, delivering superior products at prices 50% or less than the competition. Our goal is to capitalize on that interest by driving sales volumes within the end user and reseller markets. To that end, we are implementing a regional sales program supported by strong channel development and hired expert talent to execute the plan."

"While at Accord Networks, I worked with Drogosch, Parrish and Bickelman to help grow Accord from a start-up position to 80% market share in 28 months. All have held senior sales management and sales leadership roles at key videoconferencing manufacturers including Radvision and Polycom. Their aim will be to develop Telanetix's video distribution channels. Assembling this team is a tremendous win for Telanetix, and I am confident we will generate accelerated video revenue growth in 2009."

Drogosch, 47, has more than 18 years of industry experience having served as Vice President of Sales at Radvision and was a Sales Director responsible for Western Region Sales at Accord Networks and Polycom.

Parrish, 58, has held positions as Vice President for Channels for Polycom and as Regional Vice President for Accord Networks and ViewTech that is now WireOne. Parrish began his video conferencing sales and management career over 20 years ago with DataPoint and CLI.
