iMobile Data Synchronization Recognized for Reducing IT's

Strain and Increasing Mobile Workers' Productivity by

Extending Enterprise Applications

Corporate IT is burdened with the task of distributing data and supporting thousands of mobile users. In recognition of easing this challenge, the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office has awarded a patent to Synchrologic Inc. for its iMobile Data Synchronization, a key component of iMobile Suite infrastructure software for mobile computing devices. The patent office's decision signals a milestone in the advance of mobile computing and acknowledges the technology requirements unique to supporting mobile users.

The patent, titled "Database Synchronization and Organization System and Method," was issued on May 1. iMobile Data Synchronization is the only product that lets IT managers send complex, corporate data without having to reconfigure applications or databases. Before iMobile Data Synchronization, IT had to write thousands of lines of code to distribute and maintain data and had no flexibility to adapt to the dynamics of its constantly changing organization and market. Mobile workers can now access mission-critical back-end data formerly locked within enterprise walls and accessible only by LAN-connected users.

With iMobile Suite's Data Synchronization, mobile workers can spend more time focusing on selling products, collecting data, or interacting with customers rather than struggling to gain access to the information they left back at the office.

"This patent is a testimony to our product's unique contributions to mobile computing," said Bill Jones, Synchrologic's vice president of product management. "We have dedicated over 160 man-years of development commitment to solving this tough problem so that workers on the road can gain the priceless competitive advantage of anytime, anywhere access to mission-critical data while simplifying administration."

This novel technology has been granted U.S. Patent No. 6,226,650 by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. Synchrologic also has several other patents pending for other elements of its synchronization technologies.
