LAKE WORTH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 31, 2002

New Add-on Conduit Enables HanDBase Mobile Database Users the Ability to Seamlessly Sync With Microsoft Access, Sybase or Most Other

ODBC Data-files

DDH Software, Inc. today announces the launch of HanDBase Sync Exchange for mobile database users of either Palm OS or Pocket PC platforms.

With HanDBase Sync Exchange, companies and personal users alike now have the ability to synchronize their HanDBase databases with most backend database programs.

HanDBase's Sync Exchange was designed as a solution for companies seeking to effortlessly collaborate data between its mobile team and corporate data-files. The concept of a company saving valuable time and money by syncing data-files with its mobile sales-force, repair technicians, auditors, and the like is now an affordable reality.

One of the most robust features of Sync Exchange is its scalability to support multiple users, making it possible for a company to collaborate data-files on the server with handhelds for its entire mobile team. The result of a scalable solution that can sync to a central server makes it feasible for a company to reduce the time it normally takes to collect and consolidate field data. For example, a company can collect audit data, sales orders, and call reports from its field team members at the end of each day into a consolidated database where queries can be run on the data to produce summary reports, order fulfillment, and more with ease.

Companies can also save time and money by passing important data-files electronically to its mobile team's handhelds. Information such as product catalogs, inventory, and client and employee lists, traditionally printed then distributed to field staff members, can now be synced with corporate databases and accessed directly on handhelds. This capability saves valuable time and reduces costly printing expenses.

HanDBase will support three versions of the program: Sync Exchange for Microsoft Access, Sync Exchange for FilemakerPro (Macintosh), and Sync Exchange for ODBC data-sources. DDH Software is marketing the Sync Exchange program in bundle packages.

-- HanDBase Professional offers the handheld and desktop versions of HanDBase, Sync Exchange for either Microsoft Access or FilemakerPro (Macintosh), and the HanDBase Forms developer programs. The introductory retail price for HanDBase Professional is $39.99.

-- HanDBase Enterprise includes the same applications as the Professional bundle, but includes the Sync Exchange for ODBC data-sources instead, and the HanDBase ODBC Driver that enables users to access to live data for queries, reports, forms, charts, and mail-merge without having to perform any file-type conversions. The base retail price for this version is $99.99.
