SYWARE, Inc.’s New Software, “businessMobile 360 Suite”, Fills Void in Marketplace for All Small-to-Medium Size Companies -- Provides Market With Award-Winning, Unsurpassed Capabilities for Mobile Database and Application Development, Mobile Wireless Connectivity and Mobile Printing

CAMBRIDGE, MA, U.S.A. – October 31, 2005 – SYWARE, Inc. today announced the availability of businessMobile 360 Suite for the small-to-medium businesses (SMB) marketplace. The new suite empowers SMBs to use powerful, mobile database and application development software that delivers database computing to users in the field. The businessMobile 360 Suite provides easy-to-use mobile printing and wireless connectivity capabilities on any Windows Mobile Pocket PC or Windows CE device for use in all industries. The businessMobile 360 Suite includes: 4 developer licenses of SYWARE’s award-winning Visual CE 9 and Report CE 4; 100 runtime wireless licenses for mEnable 2; unlimited run time licenses for Visual CE 9 and Report CE 4; 1 year on-line and phone support; all point product upgrades and next major upgrade; on-site rapid deployment support at $6,750.

SYWARE’s businessMobile 360 Suite allows customer and sales information, previously trapped on corporate or regional computers, to be instantly delivered to workers in the field. Orders or customer inquiries can be taken at any time, anywhere, and other user-specific data can be downloaded, collected, displayed, modified and automatically synchronized. Industry-leading judges at MobileVillage recognized the value of SYWARE’s software when they honored SYWARE with the prestigious international annual Bright Star Award, Enterprise Software, Database Category, 2005.

“Many firms take a piecemeal approach for providing business mobility solutions in the marketplace. The businessMobile 360 Suite ties in a wide number of features and capabilities to provide a robust, comprehensive solution to address the specific needs of SMBs and workers in the field at a price that makes sense for this market,” said Sy Danberg, President, SYWARE, Inc. Users can opt-out of using dated, inefficient processes for easy-to-implement solutions that enable people to: collect data remotely and view critical information locked in back-end servers; have better communication between the office and representatives in the field; and print reports directly to paper from Pocket PC devices in the field, wherever the user needs to work, without having to go back to the office or print from a device located in the vehicle. All of this can be accomplished, with no programming, using the businessMobile 360 Suite.

businessMobile 360 Suite Sets Stage for SYWARE to Offer Enterprise-Class Features and Benefits not Offered in Previous Software Versions

The businessMobile 360 Suite will establish a platform that will allow SYWARE to provide powerful, enterprise-class offerings, including SYWARE’s Deployment Management Tool. Enterprises commonly have hundreds of employees using myriad of devices and applications. However, the enterprise does not readily know what forms reside on each device, or which applications are used on certain Pocket PCs. IT executives at corporate headquarters are not always attuned to how mobile workers in the field commonly customize their individual applications to suit specific uses. If a worker’s Pocket PC goes down, either temporarily or permanently in the field, IT departments cannot restore the worker’s customized applications and forms as they did not have a view into that user’s device. SYWARE’s Deployment Management Tool will enable IT staff to view, monitor and track the disparate versions of applications and forms each user employs for their mobile needs. This will allow IT departments to: backup, recover and restore mobile applications and forms; understand which devices are running what versions of software, what devices are deployed in the field, and how they are used. As a result, the businessMobile 360 Suite will provide greater flexibility, enabling companies meet the needs of mobile workers in the extended enterprise.
