Survey Underscores Users Believe Productivity and Decision Making

Would Improve with PDA Access to Corporate Portals/Intranets

AvantGo, Inc. (Nasdaq:AVGO), the leading provider of mobile enterprise software, today introduced AvantGo M-Business Server(TM) 5.0 Web Edition, a mobile web-based solution that increases information access, improves employee communication and streamlines information dissemination by mobilizing existing business information located on corporate portals and intranets.

This new product comes at an optimal time for those looking to mobilize their corporate portal. According to a recent survey of PDA users conducted by AvantGo, 68% believe that having access to their corporate portal or intranet via a PDA would improve their productivity. An additional 47% of respondents felt it would improve their ability to make better decisions. When asked how they would rate the importance of being able to access their corporate portal or intranet on their PDA, 68% felt it would be important or very important. And, what do they want to access most? Respondents rated corporate/personnel directories (56%), training/education materials (43%), company news/press releases (41%), corporate policies/guidelines (36%) and product information (34%) as their top picks.

By mobilizing product information, business intelligence, financial and sales data, corporate directories, company policies, press releases, competitive news and other web-based information, forward-thinking enterprises can now affordably provide their employees with powerful mobile technology to their competitive advantage.

The demand for accessing corporate portal/intranet information on mobile devices is high according to the PDA users surveyed. A full 92% of the survey respondents said they would access their intranet at least once per day if they had it available on their PDAs, and over 74% of respondents said they would find accessing their company's corporate portal/intranet more or as useful to them on their PDA as on their desktop PCs.

Web Edition Extends Existing Content and Applications to Mobile Devices

AvantGo M-Business Server 5.0 Web Edition is designed to extend the web to mobile devices, making web-based content and information simply and efficiently accessible to employees, customers and/or partners. Corporate IT staff can quickly create handheld-friendly "channels" of information in hours or days, instead of months, using their existing web-based content development tools and publishing systems, such as Macromedia Dreamweaver, Microsoft FrontPage, Vignette or Interwoven. The AvantGo M-Business Server 5.0 Web Edition supports HTML 3.2, graphics, tables and pull down menus, plus online and offline forms collection and submission. Once channels are developed, administrators can remotely subscribe individual end users to content channels from a centrally accessible, web-based, administration console. Channels can also be made generally available to individual mobile device users who subscribe to content channels using a self-service web-based configuration application.

"AvantGo M-Business Server 5.0 Web Edition is a straightforward solution for organizations to quickly, effectively and inexpensively mobilize their corporate portal or intranet," said Richard Owen, AvantGo's CEO. "AvantGo M-Business Server 5.0 Web Edition is a completely complementary product to our high-end development platform for mobile enterprise applications, Application Edition, which enables web services, XML, a database API, JavaScript and more for those developing rich, interactive enterprise applications."

AvantGo's solutions support mobile devices based on the Palm OS, Pocket PC and RIM BlackBerry Wireless Handheld(TM) devices, including those manufactured by HP/Compaq, Symbol, Palm, Sony, Handspring, RIM and others. By supporting a variety of mobile operating systems, AvantGo's solution provides organizations with the flexibility to use devices that best meet their business requirements and the ability to support new devices as they are introduced. Additionally, AvantGo software provides the ability to deliver web-based information or robust applications wirelessly and offline -- enabling end users to access and interact with the application in any location, regardless of whether or not they have access to a wireless service.
