Puma Technology Recognized by the Business Journal as One of the Top
Ten Fastest Growing Public Companies in the Silicon Valley
Leader in Synchronization Software Placed Ninth Out Of 100 Companies Researched For Most
Rapid Market Growth In The Silicon Valley
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 15, 1998-- Puma Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:PUMA - news), the leading
provider of advanced synchronization solutions for the handheld device marketplace, was recognized by The Business Journal
as the ninth fastest growing public company out of the top 100 companies in the Silicon Valley. At a private reception held
yesterday at the Hyatt St. Claire in downtown San Jose, The Business Journal honored the top 10 of the 100 fastest growing
public companies in the Silicon Valley. Puma Technology's placement was determined after extensive research conducted by
William O'Neil &Associates -- the same company that has ranked the fastest growing public companies on a national basis for
Fortune Magazine -- proved that Puma's revenues have dramatically increased over the past five years. This revenues increase
dramatically exceeded hundreds of companies in the Silicon Valley.
In addition to the recognition Puma received from The Business Journal and other influential attendees at the awards reception,
Puma will be profiled in the May 18, 1998 special issue of The Business Journal's focus on the ''100 Fastest Growing
Companies'' in the Silicon Valley. In this corporate profile, co-founders Brad Rowe and Steve Nicol illustrate how Puma
became a quick success in the mobile computing marketplace and how the two were able to achieve a dominant position in the
industry.
''Steve Nicol and I have worked hard to make Puma's Intellisync(R) products a successful adjunct to the mobile device
market,'' said Puma's President and CEO Brad Rowe. ''A key to the company's success has been our concentration on
making partnership deals with major market players including handheld device vendors like 3Com, notebook PC manufacturers
such as IBM and Toshiba, and leading phone providers like Nokia and AT&T. We continue to develop strategic relationships
with key players and have successfully been able to provide intelligent data synchronization support to the broadest number of
devices in the industry today. As a result, our Intellisync product family is the defacto standard for synchronization and we have
made an impact around the world with our Intellisync solutions. Recognition from such a prestigious news source as The
Business Journal is truly rewarding in that it illustrates how our efforts in pushing hard to become a leader in the industry have
paid off.''
Puma views synchronization as one of the most critical driving factors propelling the growth of the mobile computing market,
which encompasses organizers such as the new Palm III, the REX PC Companion, Windows CE devices, smart phones, and
other such devices. Puma provides the broadest support for handheld devices and applications in the market providing users
with the ability to easily and seamlessly update contact, calendar, memo and to-do list data in an intelligent fashion between a
handheld device and PC-based applications. Without this ability, handheld devices are ''islands'' of information unable to
effectively interact with other Personal Information Management (PIM) software applications in the PC world.
The Intellisync family of synchronization software supports a wide variety of devices, including the 3Com PalmPilot connected
organizers, the IBM Workpad, the Franklin REX PC Companion, the AT&TPocketNet Service-based phones, the Nokia
9000 and 9000i Communicators, the family of Sharp personal organizers, the Texas Instruments Avigo and family of personal
organizers, all Windows CE-based handheld PCs, notebook computers and others.
