GRIC Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: GRIC), a leading global provider of secure mobility solutions for global enterprises, announced that GRIC MobileOffice was named Best Enterprise Solution at EnterpriseVision 2003, held July 28-30, 2003 in Pasadena, California. EnterpriseVision awards are based on nominations made by IT solution providers attending the event. GRIC MobileOffice provides mobile and remote professionals with secure and reliable access to corporate networks, enabling them to increase productivity while away from their offices.

"Because EnterpriseVision attendees are so strongly connected with IT buying decisions, it is truly a tribute to GRIC that they were selected," said Sally Hewett, event director for EnterpriseVision. "Recognition through a Best of EnterpriseVision award signifies that technology vendors have achieved the admirable goal of delivering products that answer a pressing need from the enterprise community."

"We are honored to receive this prestigious award, recognizing the innovative advances that GRIC MobileOffice brings to enterprise customers. As the number of remote and mobile workers steadily increases, their needs will only become more complex, and it is imperative that technology meets the challenge. GRIC's secure access solutions for outside the firewall combine robust management and unmatched coverage. As a result, our corporate customers realize lower total cost of ownership, increased control, significant risk reduction, and enhanced productivity for mobile employees," said Bharat Dave, GRIC's Chief Executive Officer and President.
