Authentidate Announces Strategic Initiatives

For Second Half of Fiscal 2008

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J.— January 14, 2008— Authentidate Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: ADAT), a worldwide provider of secure workflow management software and web-based services, today announced a comprehensive plan intended to accelerate revenue growth and enhance shareholder value in the second half of fiscal 2008. The plan, set forth in a series of strategic initiatives, follows a detailed assessment of the company’s business strategy and operations by senior management and the Board of Directors.

“We are taking strategic action in the second half of fiscal 2008 to improve both the top-line and bottom-line performance of the company,” stated Ben Benjamin, President of Authentidate. “These initiatives will allow us to drive revenue growth, eliminate costs and accelerate our forecast for reaching cash flow breakeven.”

Enhance sales and service

Authentidate plans to leverage its existing resources to enhance its sales and customer service capabilities in the U.S. Existing personnel will be repurposed to ensure broader sales, service and customer solutions capabilities throughout the organization. An expanded sales and customer service force will enable Authentidate to build a more robust sales pipeline and more efficiently meet demand for the company’s software as a service offerings.

Expand market opportunities

Authentidate will refocus its marketing and sales efforts in the U.S. on an expanded marketplace, beyond home health agencies and durable medical equipment providers. Over the next several months the company plans to extend the benefits of its highly flexible and customizable Inscrybe platform beyond the current addressable market, by adding new services and penetrating new segments of the multi-billion dollar healthcare industry.

Reduce costs

Authentidate will implement several measures to reduce operating costs including downsizing the current management team and certain product development resources. Overall, the company plans to reduce headcount at its U.S. operations by more than 20 percent and to aggressively manage such costs moving forward. The company expects to incur severance costs in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2008 as a result of the recent and planned headcount reductions. However, such costs should not have a material impact on the company’s ability to execute its plan.

Mr. Benjamin concluded, “The operational improvements we are implementing will help us improve revenue growth and open untapped markets. Over the past year we have experienced improved momentum and traction in the sales and marketing of our software as a service offerings, however, we believe that the most significant market opportunities remain in front of us. With a broader, dedicated sales force and a more streamlined, cost-efficient infrastructure we are well positioned to meet our goals and rebuild shareholder value.”
