SAN JOSE, Calif. (6/19/01) - Pumatech, Inc. (NASDAQ: PUMA), the leading provider of software infrastructure for the mobile Internet, today announced version 5.1 of its Mind-it change detection, notification and personalization software. This latest version of Mind-it provides a host of new features including real time notification of changes made to monitored information, the ability to detect changes on protected Web pages such as personal banking information or content on secure corporate intranets, and the ability to use embedded Web page links to immediately access vital information via any WAP-capable wireless device. In addition, the new version specifically targets enterprise customers by allowing them to improve management and dissemination of internal information within their workforce, and to better monitor external information (such as competitive updates) that impacts day-to-day business objectives. Enterprises and developers are also targeted with the addition of a well-defined and comprehensive SDK that allows developers to build upon the Mind-it platform and provide their customers with customized searches that meet their business needs.
"We recognize that the enterprise environment is changing, and that professionals are no longer conducting business solely from the confines of a traditional office setting," said Brad Rowe, Pumatech's president, CEO and co-founder. "It is our mission with our infrastructure platform, and specifically our Mind-it technology, to extend knowledge out to the point where business is being conducted, and to empower professionals by providing them with instant access to critical information. With this latest version of our Mind-it technology, users will be notified of changes to essential information residing on corporate intranets or the Internet in real time. By viewing and interacting with that information, they're able to make more informed business decisions."
