   Ptek Holdings to Change Its Name to Premiere Global Services;
            Company to Market Its Services Under One Brand

    ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 1, 2004--Ptek Holdings, Inc.
(NASDAQ:PTEK)(www.ptek.com), a leading provider of innovative business
communications services, today announced plans to change its corporate
name to Premiere Global Services, Inc. on January 3, 2005. The Company
anticipates adopting Premiere Global Services(SM) as a unified brand for
its operating units, Xpedite and Premiere Conferencing, during the
course of next year.
    Management believes the new name better communicates the Company's
mission of providing business communications services to global
enterprises. The continuing convergence of voice and data has elevated
the purchasing of communications services to a more central source in
many customers' IT departments. By marketing its full suite of
collaboration and data communication solutions as a single brand, the
Company hopes to take advantage of this trend to sell additional
services.
    "Changing our name to Premiere Global Services marks an important
milestone for the Company," said Boland T. Jones, Ptek's Founder,
Chairman and CEO. "More than ever, our 40,000 plus corporate accounts
are increasingly recognizing us as a single source provider for their
business communications needs."
