REORGANIZATION DESIGNED TO ACCELERATE TIME-TO-MARKET AND
IMPROVE CUSTOMER SUPPORT
Tel Aviv, Israel, January 12, 2000 -- RADVision (NASDAQ: RVSN), the leading
provider of award-winning, industry-standard products and technology for

has been consolidated into one global organization. Gene Wolf, president of

decided to step down from his current position of Chief Operating Officer and
take an extended leave. Mr. Gordon will be available to work with Ami Amir,
RADVision's chief executive officer, on special projects. The company has no
plans to fill the position of Chief Operating Officer at this time. Mr. Raviv,
Mr. Barak and Mr. Wolf will report directly to Mr. Amir.
"Having two business units allows us to be more nimble and responsive to the
different market dynamics and product requirements that drive the development of
our enabling technologies for developers and the development of our networking
solutions for customers who are deploying IP-centric networks," said Ami Amir,
RADVision's chief executive officer. "Boaz and Avinoam bring strong leadership,
focus and vision to their respective teams, enabling us to maintain and
strengthen our current market leadership position."
Mr. Amir continued, "By putting in place a seamless global sales and support
organization, we will be able to better coordinate our distributed resources and
improve our delivery of customer support to our multi-national customers. Gene
has done an outstanding job of building our business in the United States, and
we are confident that he will be able to bring a consistent level of sales and
customer support execution to Europe and the Asia Pacific region."
