Item 1.01               Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Forgent Networks, Inc. (“Forgent”) has entered into an agreement to acquire iSarla, Inc., a Delaware corporation doing business as “iEmployee” (“iEmployee”).  Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 11, 2007 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Forgent, Cheetah Acquisition Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forgent (“Merger Sub”), iEmployee, and the Principal Stockholders of iEmployee party thereto, Merger Sub will merge with and into iEmployee (the “Merger”).  iEmployee, as the surviving entity, will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forgent.  iEmployee is a software company that provides on-demand human resources management software and services.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and subject to certain adjustments and elections, the consideration for the Merger is $10,700,000, at least $5,600,000 of which is payable in cash and up to $5,100,000 of which is payable in shares of Forgent common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) (as determined by calculating an average of the closing prices of the Common Stock for the period preceding the Merger).

The cash portion of the merger consideration shall be paid with Forgent’s cash on hand.  The stock portion of the merger consideration will be paid in shares of unregistered Common Stock.

Forgent will deposit 15% of the merger consideration to be held in escrow and distributed to the iEmployee stockholders within eighteen (18) months of the closing of the Merger, subject to certain adjustments, holdbacks and offsets.

In connection with the Merger, Forgent will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement with certain iEmployee stockholders, which provides certain registration rights to such stockholders in the event that Forgent subsequently registers certain securities.

The consummation of the Merger is subject to certain conditions, including, among other things, the approval of the Merger and related matters by iEmployee’s stockholders.  The Merger is anticipated to close in Forgent’s current fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2007.

Pursuant to Instruction B.4 to Form 8-K and applicable regulations and releases, a copy of the Agreement reported under Item 1.01 will be filed as an exhibit not later than  the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for Forgent’s current fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2007.  All summaries and descriptions of documents set forth above are qualified in their entirety by the documents themselves, filed as an exhibit or exhibits to a later report.
