Starfish Software and PeopleSoft Team to Mobilize CRM Solutions

November 28, 2001

Today, Starfish Software, leading provider of end-to-end synchronization infrastructure and data connectivity solutions for the wireless Internet, announced PeopleSoft has selected Starfish to join their industry-leading PeopleSoft Alliances Program as its preferred mobile data synchronization partner. Starfish will work closely with PeopleSoft to integrate its TrueSync® Server-based mobile data synchronization technology into PeopleSoft’s CRM (Customer Relationship Management) solutions.

"The partnership between Starfish and PeopleSoft is significant to the advancement of mobile data. As IT managers begin to leverage the strengths of Microsoft's Pocket PC 2002 and other devices in enterprise environments, synchronization is a necessary enabler for truly mobilizing mission critical enterprise applications," said Todd Kort, Principal Analyst, Gartner Dataquest.

The TrueSync Server is a core component of the Starfish TrueSync Technology Platform – a complete infrastructure for advanced, end-to-end, standards-based synchronization solutions. Comprised of tightly-coupled server, device and desktop applications and services, TrueSync’s broad set of integrated, commercially ready solutions provide a framework to rapidly implement SyncML-conformant solutions in both wireless and wireline environments. Wireless carriers, Enterprise/IT, device manufacturers, and Internet portals deploy mobile data solutions based on TrueSync technology.

The TrueSync Server will be integrated as a key component of the comprehensive enterprise solutions offered by PeopleSoft. The integrated TrueSync solution will provide PeopleSoft’s customers with the capability to synchronize data from PeopleSoft’s CRM solution with other enterprise applications such as Microsoft Exchange; there is additional capability to synchronize with devices such as Palm, Pocket PC and wireless phones.

“We’re pleased to join PeopleSoft’s elite Alliances Program,” said Paul Sinclair, Starfish Software vice president of worldwide sales. “Starfish’s industry-leading TrueSync mobile data synchronization technology adds real power to PeopleSoft’s vision of making CRM data available anytime, anywhere. We look forward to working with PeopleSoft, and their customers, to deliver integrated, multi-point mobile data synchronization between PeopleSoft solutions and connected devices, desktops and enterprise servers.”

“PeopleSoft is delighted to have the Starfish TrueSync technology available to our customers to further mobilize enterprise applications,” said Peter LaSalle, PeopleSoft CRM Product Strategy Director. “We see this as a natural complement to PeopleSoft’s vision of ‘enabling the collaborative enterprise’ .”

Starfish TrueSync-based synchronization solutions will be available to over 5,000 PeopleSoft corporate licensees through developers and system integrators.
