SAN JOSE, Calif. (11/06/02) - Pumatech, Inc. (NASDAQ: PUMA), the leading provider of synchronization software and services and a Member Partner of the Oracle® PartnerNetwork, and Oracle Corp., the world's largest enterprise software company, today announced a powerful solution that will synchronize the Web-based Oracle E-Business Suite Calendar with Microsoft Outlook and Palm OS® handhelds. The Oracle E-Business Suite Calendar is currently available in the following Oracle E-Business Suite applications: Oracle Sales Online, Oracle TeleSales and Oracle Marketing Online.
The new solution, called Intellisync® for Oracle, leverages Pumatech's award-winning Intellisync engine to provide two-way synchronization of appointments, business contacts and to-do lists between the Oracle E-Business Suite and either Microsoft Outlook or Palm OS handhelds. Intellisync for Oracle will ensure accuracy and reliability by incorporating patented Intellisync capabilities such as conflict resolution (eliminates duplicate entries) and data filtering (allows users to sync specific ranges of information).
Intellisync for Oracle was developed using Pumatech's XML toolkit - a component of the Company's Intellisync for Web software. The XML toolkit uses XML commands, embedded inside HTTP packets, to communicate with Internet-based servers like Oracle's.
"By teaming up with Pumatech to create the Intellisync for Oracle solution, we will enable our customers to extend the power of many of the Oracle E-Business Suite applications," said Mark Israelsen, vice president, Oracle market development partner programs. "Through a two-way synchronization process, users will be able to access and manipulate essential contact, appointment and to-do information with the most popular productivity tools, such as Palm OS handhelds and Outlook."
"We're delighted that Oracle has selected Pumatech to help make the Oracle E-Business Suite an even more indispensable tool than it already is," said Clyde Foster, Pumatech's senior vice president of sales and marketing. "The combination of Oracle E-Business Suite and Intellisync will enable Oracle customers to maximize productivity and profits by dramatically reducing the time required to access essential information."
Under the terms of the agreement announced today, Pumatech will handle all marketing, sales and fulfillment of the Intellisync for Oracle software. Pricing of Intellisync for Oracle begins at $139 per seat (including Maintenance) for 5-200 users.
