INDIANAPOLIS -- Interactive Intelligence Inc. (Nasdaq:ININ), a global developer of business communications software, was featured in BusinessWeek's Equity Investor's Micro-Cap Review Special Advertising Section in its 2007 "Where to Invest" issue based on the company's strong stock performance over the past year.

BusinessWeek's Equity Investor's Micro-Cap review, which was published in the Dec. 25, 2006issue, names Interactive Intelligence as one of six top companies with market capitalization between $20 million and $500 million based on 12-month share price performance for the period ending Oct. 31, 2006.

During the 12-month period, the Interactive Intelligence share price rose 246 percent, from $5.15 to $17.80.

"Our company's performance has been strong now for the past two years with accelerated growth this past year, and we're pleased to see our share price reflective of this," said Dr. Donald E. Brown, chairman and CEO of Interactive Intelligence. "The adoption of voice over IP (VoIP) has fueled much of this growth within our target markets, and we're taking full advantage of this trend by entering complementary markets and positioning ourselves as the number one choice for large enterprises and contact centers."

Interactive Intelligence placed in the top five percent of approximately 3,000 domestically traded companies with market capitalization between $20 million and $500 million based on key performance indicators, thus representing an investment opportunity worthy of close consideration.

Key Interactive Intelligence 2006 nine-month-ending performance indicators included a 31 percent revenue increase, a 548 percent operating income improvement, and a $6.6 million operating cash flow improvement compared to the same period last year. The company continues to carry zero debt.
