CodeWarrior Wireless Enterprise Studio to Speed Development of

J2ME Wireless Applications for the Enterprise

AGEA, a leading provider of business acceleration software, and Metrowerks, a leader in wireless development tools and services, today announced CodeWarrior(tm) Wireless Enterprise Studio, an advanced software solution that significantly decreases the time it takes enterprises, system integrators, and application vendors to develop and deploy powerful wireless applications that integrate into the enterprise.

CodeWarrior Wireless Enterprise Studio will use AGEA's Business Acceleration technology to drive the rapid development of applications that connect enterprise systems and applications to a full range of wireless devices and channels, including e-mail, cell phones, pagers, and personal digital assistants (PDAs). By making enterprise systems -- from contact managers to CRM applications -- accessible to employees anytime and anywhere, companies can speed up decision-making and respond faster to business-critical issues, ultimately saving significant time and costs.

The major hurdle companies face in creating wireless applications is obtaining integrated development tools and technologies to support their existing infrastructure. "By leveraging Metrowerks' development toolset in CodeWarrior Wireless Enterprise Studio, we are providing the industry's first integrated solution for building scalable, reliable, secure wireless applications," said Russell Glass, president of AGEA.

By partnering with AGEA to develop CodeWarrior Wireless Enterprise Studio, Metrowerks' developer customers can penetrate the enterprise market with crucial wireless applications, while reducing the amount of time required for front-end development tasks. AGEA's Business Acceleration platform provides developers with pre-built components that dramatically simplify enterprise application development. These components include modules for authentication, notification and messaging, event management, personalization, and device, user and session management. Support for a wide array of databases, application servers, and Web servers allows customers to make technology choices that align with corporate standards.

"With AGEA's technology, Metrowerks can offer a truly unique development solution that allows our customers to focus on the business requirements of their wireless applications," said Jim Welch, CEO of Metrowerks.

With CodeWarrior Wireless Enterprise Studio developers can create J2ME technology applications that leverage the Business Acceleration platform components and services. Running on mobile devices such as Java technology enabled phones and PDAs, these applications take advantage of the J2ME technology features of CodeWarrior Enterprise Studio, including a messaging smart client, security, XML parsing, directory services and Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) compatible applications. Combining Metrowerks' industry-leading development tools with AGEA's Business Acceleration software, CodeWarrior Wireless Enterprise Studio will allow application developers to build, test and deploy applications more quickly and efficiently. With CodeWarrior Wireless Enterprise Studio developers can:

-- Use pre-tested templates to reduce front-end development tasks

-- Build applications that run on all devices and across all communications
channels

-- Use out-of-the-box assets to build J2ME applications faster and more easily

-- Provide user control and personalization

-- Test applications across myriad devices prior to deployment

-- Customize application presentation according to the specific device
capabilities

-- Employ the standards-based J2ME platform for rapid integration into existing
systems and processes
