Puma Technology(TM), Inc. (NASDAQ:PUMA), will provide synchronization support for the recently announced 3Com Palm III(TM) Connected Organizer through its broadly embraced Intellisync software family. For the past two years, Puma has provided both individual users and corporate workforces with the world's most advanced synchronization solution for each of the previous generations of Palm Connected Organizers. The company intends to do the same for the new Palm III device through the currently shipping Intellisync For PalmPilot version 2.03, available directly from Puma or at computer retail stores nationwide for $69.95. INTELLISYNC - THE STANDARD IN ADVANCED SYNCHRONIZATION SOLUTIONS Intellisync is the engine driving intelligent synchronization between the popular Palm Connected Organizers, leading PC-based personal information management (PIM) and corporate groupware software applications. Puma's patented Data Synchronization Extensions Technology (DSX(TM) Technology), found in every Intellisync offering, provides advanced synchronization capabilities such as field mapping, filtering and conflict resolution. Not only do these features enable the most seamless user experience, they also help to optimize the device itself. Intellisync also helps extend the usefulness of the 3Com solution through support for the broadest array of PIM and groupware applications used everyday by corporations and consumers alike. Intellisync has also been lauded by the computer trade and business media for its full-scope synchronization support. "With our patented technology and unmatched multi-device and application support, Puma personifies the business of synchronization," said Puma President and CEO Brad Rowe. "We do synchronization for a living and our advanced synchronization solutions have helped deliver on the promise of mobile computing, especially in Corporate America where Intellisync is dominant. At the same time, we view 3Com as a leader in driving the rapid adoption of innovative handheld devices such as the new Palm III. With more memory, enhanced usability and a new focus on synchronization, this device has tremendous potential. We are committed to building on the success of 3Com's Connected Organizer product line by providing robust synchronization solutions regardless of the application being used either at work or at home." ADVANCED SYNCHRONIZATION SOLUTIONS MAXIMIZE MOBILE COMPUTING 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, Windows CE-based offerings, the REX PC Companion, Sharp Electronic Organizers and smart phones such as the Nokia 9000i and AT&T PocketNet service. Synchronization, which has become synonymous with Puma's Intellisync family, provides 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 in the desktop computing world. In supporting the widest range of PIM and groupware solutions, Intellisync for PalmPilot meets the needs of virtually all individual and business users. To date, Intellisync offers support for virtually every popular PIM and groupware solution. In the same fashion as Microsoft's Windows CE solutions, 3Com has helped validate the increasing importance of synchronization by including two application-specific synchronization conduits as part of Palm III's bundled sample software. These conduits provide a degree of synchronization support for Outlook and ACT!. While the application-specific synchronization conduits accompanying the Palm III help further the overall concept of synchronization, they most likely will not address large segments of individual or corporate user needs. "These sample conduits are ideal to bring the issue of synchronization to the forefront," continued Rowe. "At the same time, they may not provide the power required for advanced individual users or corporations which historically standardize on full-scale offerings from a single, leading vendor. We expect that the inclusion of conduits with handhelds, whether in the Palm III or in Windows CE solutions, will continue to bring new users to the Intellisync family." MEETING TRUE USER NEEDS Unlike limited solutions, Intellisync provide features derived from two years of real-world user feedback that deliver the accuracy and convenience required by mobile professionals. For instance: -- Intellisync's custom filtering allows the user to control exactly what information is to be synchronized, thereby accelerating the process and optimizing the limited storage capabilities found in most handheld devices. -- Accurate conflict detection/resolution and field-level synchronization helps avoid duplicate records that the user would otherwise have to sort out manually. -- Confirmation prompt dialog let the user see exactly what will be added, changed, and deleted before it happens. -- Convenient field mappings place correct application fields into correct device fields according to user choice. -- Intellisync offers a unique ability to simultaneously synchronize multiple applications to the Palm III device -- Intellisync uniquely supports the broad range of popular personal information management and group scheduling software applications, including Microsoft Outlook 97/98, Microsoft Schedule+ 7.0/7.0a/7.5, Lotus Organizer 2.1/97/GS, Day-Timer Organizer 2.1/98, Goldmine 3.2/4.0, NetManage ECCO 4.0, Novell GroupWise 5.2, On Technology Meeting Maker, Oracle InterOffice 4.1, Starfish Sidekick 95/97/98, Internet Sidekick, and Symantec ACT! 3.07/3.08. At the core of all Intellisync solutions is Puma's patented DSX technology which is protected by four United States patents and is the subject of other patents pending. DSX is responsible for the accurate synchronization of information between the PC-based application and the device. ABOUT PUMA TECHNOLOGY Puma Technology, Inc.

Puma Technology Recognized by the Business Journal as One of the Top Ten Fastest Growing Public Companies in the Silicon Valley SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 15, 1998-- Leader in Synchronization Software Placed Ninth Out Of 100 Companies Researched For Most Rapid Market Growth In The Silicon Valley Puma Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:PUMA), 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.
