TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 6, 2000

DataMirror Corp. (TSE:DMC), a leading provider of business data integration software, today announced that its award-winning Transformation Server software now supports wireless administration of data via smart-phones and mobile Internet devices.

With iTransmit, DataMirror's wireless Enterprise Administrator, any Transformation Server administrator with a micro-browser-equipped wireless phone or mobile Internet device can access, monitor and manage data replication between multiple databases and computing platforms from anywhere and at any time.

iTransmit allows IT administrators to select subscriptions from a list of connected agents, view the replication status, check logs for informational messages, and perform basic functions such as starting and stopping data replication. Future releases of iTransmit will be enhanced as the capabilities of wireless devices mature.

"Access to information via the Web with simple wireless devices is revolutionizing the way organizations think about, manage and publish their enterprise data," said Nigel Stokes, chairman, president and CEO of DataMirror.

"As we enter the post-PC era, smart-phones and wireless Internet devices are becoming indispensable tools for keeping mobile IT people constantly in touch with their responsibilities. iTransmit takes the DataMirror customer experience to a new level of convenience and efficiency by enabling access to and management of an organization's replication network anytime, anywhere with no wires or impediments."

DataMirror Transformation Server has become a critical component of the IT infrastructure for many of the company's customers, supporting e-Business, business intelligence and other distributed data applications. Customers need to be able to continuously monitor the status of data replication and act quickly to respond to replication needs.

DataMirror's Enterprise Administrator for Transformation Server, or EA, has already changed the way the company's customers manage the end-to-end flow of business data throughout their organizations. DataMirror's wireless Enterprise Administrator capability further enhances the overall ease of use of Transformation Server and can significantly reduce total cost of ownership.

Other administration tools require that the IT administrator go to the actual system where the database or replication software resides. iTransmit saves time while improving quality of service and overall availability by enabling administrators to respond immediately -- no matter where they happen to be.

iTransmit is the latest in a series of DataMirror wireless initiatives. DataMirror recently became a supporter of the SyncML Initiative to develop and promote a new open industry specification to allow synchronization of remote data and information across corporate servers, Web servers, computers, laptops, PDAs, handheld computers, mobile phones and other mobile devices.

DataMirror Transformation Server for PointBase is a pure Java product that seamlessly integrates business data between mobile or wireless devices equipped with the PointBase database and enterprise data stores on a wide variety of computing platforms.
