October 17, 2001

Today, Starfish Software, leading provider of end-to-end synchronization infrastructure and data connectivity solutions for the wireless Internet, announced TrueSync technology platform support for Microsoft's Pocket PC 2002.

Starfish's solutions include TrueSync Synchronization Server, TrueSync Plus desktop synchronization software, and TrueSync for Devices -- all part of a complete, end-to-end infrastructure for data mobility. Starfish's TrueSync solutions are integrated with enterprise applications to provide anywhere, anytime access to any type of corporate data.

TrueSync solutions provide mobile enterprise users with a seamless data synchronization experience between a host of supported wireless and wireline devices, including Palm OS devices, smart pagers and mobile phones, Microsoft Exchange Server, Lotus Notes, corporate applications, and desktop personal information managers (PIMs). Extending TrueSync support to Pocket PC 2002 enables corporate IT managers to rapidly integrate this new generation of enterprise-focused devices into their existing data mobility infrastructure.

"Although consumer adoption of PDAs has driven the market to date, the next phase of the connected information device usage curve will be driven by enterprise deployments," said Diane Law, director of product management for Starfish Software. "The Starfish TrueSync technology platform provides for rapidly deployed, secure enterprise mobile data sync solutions and highlights the enterprise-focused strengths of Pocket PC 2002 devices."

Starfish's TrueSync solutions include support for data synchronization with Pocket PC 2002 devices in a variety of methods, including local networking connectivity (cabled, 802.11b/Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) and remote networking via over the air (OTA) connectivity using carrier networks, including General Packet Radio Service networks (GPRS).

TrueSync Server accesses standard corporate databases including Oracle and DB2 via common APIs: ODBC, JDBC, SQL, and supports popular transport interfaces including TCP/IP, HTTP, SyncML and XML. LDAP and Active Directory interfaces are also included, enabling customization.
