SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 21, 2003

600 Medical Representatives Use Mobile Devices in the Field, Both

Online and Offline, to Increase Efficiency and Streamline Sales

Everypath, a leading provider of mobile task automation software, today announced that Bayer Yakuhin, Ltd., Bayer's pharmaceutical subsidiary in Japan, has deployed Everypath MTA products for use by 600 mobile professionals. Everypath MTA provides Bayer Yakuhin's medical representatives interactive access to their Siebel ePharma application using Toshiba Pocket PC handheld devices. The medical representatives are now able to access and input key information through their PDAs while in the field on sales calls, regardless of connectivity. This is resulting in improved employee productivity, shortened sales cycles and increased visibility into the sales process.

"In today's competitive pharmaceutical market, having customer information at our fingertips is essential to success, but our field force is generally away from the office during these critical moments," said Dr. Mithat Mardin, information systems coordination manager of Bayer Yakuhin and head of organization and information of Bayer HealthCare in Asia/Pacific. "To ensure that time and place are never the limiting factors in our sales process, we've armed our team with mobile computing devices and have deployed Everypath MTA to make sure the information necessary to secure and maintain customer satisfaction is always at hand," said Mardin.

Bayer Yakuhin, with about 1600 employees, is a pharmaceutical manufacturer headquartered in Osaka, Japan, and a subsidiary of Bayer that employed approximately 123,000 people and had sales of approximately about $28 billion in 2002. With limited meeting times with medical personnel, Bayer Yakuhin's sales representatives found laptops too cumbersome and too slow to work effectively in the field. Bayer Yakuhin selected Everypath to mobilize its Siebel ePharma application on PDAs for several reasons:

-- Everypath's ability and expertise in developing mobile

applications, including those that access multiple data

sources.

-- The strength of Everypath's relationship with Siebel Systems

and its Siebel-validated solution.

-- Everypath's ability to provide both online and offline

communication through mobile devices.

-- Everypath's compatibility with almost any mobile device and

the ability to work on multiple devices.

"We are seeing tremendous growth in sales in the pharmaceutical market, " said Mark Tapling, CEO of Everypath. "Our technology is allowing Bayer Yakuhin to make its sales force more effective and we are providing their team with critical information needed to close deals and keep customers happy. We are pleased to help Bayer Yakuhin translate customer information into strategic value, leading the evolution of mobile computing in the pharmaceutical industry and proving that information really is power," said Tapling.
