Ptek Holdings' Conferencing Unit Reaches Another Milestone

With Its Automated Service

Premiere Conferencing, an industry leader for enhanced and automated conferencing solutions and a business unit of Ptek Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PTEK)(www.ptek.com), announced today that more than one million ReadyConference minutes were processed through the company's automated conferencing service on September 14, 2000.

Premiere Conferencing has experienced tremendous growth in its automated conferencing traffic, with the ReadyConference service usage increasing 148% year to date through August 2000, compared to the same time frame in 1999. Nearly 20 million automated conferencing minutes were processed in August. According to a report by Frost & Sullivan, it is projected that on-demand audio conference calls will comprise 78.2% of all automated calls by 2004.

"We're proud of our team for the million-minute accomplishment, and continue to see strong growth potential with our automated conferencing services," said Ted Schrafft, President of Premiere Conferencing. "Our customers' continue to embrace these new ReadyConference and Web-based services. In fact, as of the end of August, we exceeded last year's total volume of automated conferencing minutes by more than 30 million minutes."

Premiere Conferencing's automated ReadyConference services, including ReadyConference OnDemand, Scheduled ReadyConference, and Web Reservations, allow for the conferencing user to be in direct control of a meeting by eliminating the need for an outside operator. These services were developed via proprietary conferencing hardware and software designed by Premiere Conferencing.

ReadyConference OnDemand enables organizations to have 24/7 access to automated conferencing services. ReadyConference customers are provided with a passcode-protected, dedicated dial-in telephone number that is always available, acting as a "virtual conference room." Users are only billed for minutes used, and there is no set-up or subscription fee.

ReadyConference includes unique features such as allowing moderators and participants the ability to mute and "un-mute" a line, increase or decrease the conference volume and increase or decrease the volume of each conferencing participant's line. The service also offers moderator billing code features, which enables firms to bill back to their clients the time and cost spent on individual conference calls. Next month, the ReadyConference service will offer customers recording and playback capabilities.
