Attunity Ltd., (NASDAQ:ATTU), a leading provider of B2B software solutions, and iConverse, a leader in the emerging wireless application market, today announced that they have teamed to provide wireless solutions that can access critical enterprise backoffice systems.

The partnership will enable customers of Attunity and iConverse to deploy web services and business transaction systems to their customers, suppliers and employees using the broadest range of wireless, mobile devices.

iConverse's wireless application platform helps companies create, deploy and maintain flexible wireless applications that enable mobile transactions and deliver critical business information in a format that provides the best experience for each individual user, regardless of device. Attunity's flagship offerings -- Attunity B2B(R) and Attunity Connect(R) -- further enhance iConverse's ability to provide wireless solutions by providing integrated access to enterprise backoffice systems and B2B web services. With Attunity's XML interface, iConverse will provide a deeper integration path to the key corporate resources necessary for a comprehensive eBusiness strategy.

Attunity Connect, which integrates applications and data sources through industry-standard interfaces, enables organizations to easily and cost-effectively connect their back office legacy systems, applications and databases to the Internet-driven, wireless eBusiness world.

"Teaming with Attunity enhances iConverse's ability to provide a powerful and simple path to delivering critical information to virtually any mobile device on the market," said Ron Matros, president and chief executive officer of iConverse.
