Neomar Releases New Versions of Server and Microbrowser Software for Wireless Handhelds

Software offers over-the-air real-time updates to data, application integration

Neomar, a leading developer of wireless enterprise software solutions, today announced enhanced versions of the company's Neomar Enterprise Server (NES) software and Neomar Microbrowser with Intelligent Client Engine(tm) (ICE) for wireless handheld devices. The new releases include over-the-air real-time data support for handheld devices and other enhancements that improve the performance and value of enterprise applications deployed on Palm OS, Pocket PC, J2ME, and RIM BlackBerry handhelds. The new Neomar software is available immediately.




Enhancements to the Neomar Microbrowser and Neomar Enterprise Server v. 3.1 include improved support for offline forms and data, and APIs (application programming interfaces) enabling applications to share real-time data as it is received by the device, transparently in the background and via programmable alerts.

The enhanced features enable enterprise users to interact with corporate applications on an intermittently available basis, whether the users are in or out of coverage, and integrate over-the-air data updates to make those applications more accurate, useful, and convenient for mobile workers.

"The enhancements to the Neomar Enterprise Server and Neomar Microbrowser with ICE are all very user-focused," said John Troyer, Neomar's Chief Strategy Officer. "By linking browsing and alerts with applications and forms already on users' devices, the NES can now send data to mobile workers transparently whenever they're in coverage, and the Microbrowser with ICE will make that data available in its most convenient form. Enterprise handheld users have new ways of maximizing productivity 24x7."

"We believe that both enterprise software developers and internal corporate developers will appreciate these new features," said Martin Buhr, Vice President of Business Development at Neomar. "The focus of these releases is to enable developers to create applications that take advantage of always-available, always-updated data on enterprise users' handhelds, and to make sure that the data is 100% secure. With these features, Neomar's software opens up a whole new

world of possibilities for wireless application delivery and integration."

The enhanced features are available to corporate and third-party developers through Neomar's recently expanded developer program. The program assists developers in creating and testing applications compatible with Neomar's popular server and handheld software, including Palm OS, Pocket PC, J2ME, and all RIM BlackBerry wireless handheld devices. The Microbrowser with ICE supports such advanced features as push alerts, background push, and off-line availability of saved pages and forms, all of which are critical to enhancing the productivity of mobile workers accessing enterprise applications remotely.
