SAN JOSE, Calif. (12/11/01) - Pumatech, Inc. (NASDAQ: PUMA), a leading provider of enterprise-level software products and services that deliver highly relevant information wherever and whenever it's needed, today announced a distribution agreement with Ingram Micro Australia Pty Ltd, a division of Ingram Micro, the world's largest global wholesale provider of technology products and supply chain management services. Under the agreement, Ingram Micro Australia will resell Pumatech's Intellisync family of synchronization software products and its Satellite Forms solution to resellers based in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Australia.

"Our relationship with Ingram Micro Australia will help broaden our market reach in the Pacific Rim, and enable us to further establish our enterprise-class software solutions, including the Intellisync product line, as the de facto standard for Global 2000 companies," said Steve Nicol, Pumatech's executive vice president of sales and co-founder. "Ingram Micro has an impressive track record of partnering with U.S.-based software companies to create mutual success in the Asia-Pacific region, and we look forward to leveraging their expertise to drive further adoption of Pumatech's Real-time Enterprise offerings in the Pacific Rim."

As a key component of any Real-time Enterprise infrastructure, Pumatech's powerful Intellisync synchronization technology meets the full range of enterprise needs. Organizations that want to easily implement Pumatech's desktop synchronization solution can utilize Pumatech's Intellisync 4.0 software to enable direct synchronization of calendars, e-mail, contacts, and tasks between Palm OS , Windows CE/Pocket PC, or Symbian Release 5.0-compatible handhelds and leading PC-based personal information management (PIM), contact management and groupware messaging applications. Enterprises looking to reduce the cost of implementing Pumatech's desktop synchronization software on a larger scale can take advantage of Pumatech's all-in-one site license solution, Intellisync Gold, an easy and affordable way to support a mobile workforce regardless of what devices they use. Finally, for corporations that want a more robust synchronization solution, Pumatech offers Intellisync Anywhere software, which enables remote and LAN-based synchronization between handhelds and the Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Domino enterprise groupware applications.

Pumatech's Satellite Forms software, the premier visual rapid application development tool for devices based on the Palm OS platform, is used to quickly develop sophisticated handheld applications that seamlessly integrate with enterprise data from Oracle‚ DB2, Microsoft Access and many other databases. Satellite Forms Server software integrates the core server technology used to create Pumatech's Intellisync Anywhere software with the powerful visual development tools of Satellite Forms to produce a tightly integrated software development environment, incorporating synchronization capabilities, server administration and custom application development into a single product, allowing IT managers and system integrators to easily extend critical back-end applications to handheld devices.

"PC handheld devices are now part of everyday life, it's a growth market that cannot be ignored, and applications such as Pumatech's Intellisync product line are an important focus for Ingram Micro," said Steve Rust, managing director for Ingram Micro Australia. "As PC handheld devices rapidly become wireless and telephony-enabled, Ingram Micro will be a leading distributor in this emerging category."
