Press Releases - 2003

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – June 19, 2003 – PointBase, the leader in Java embedded database products for managing and synchronizing enterprise data across all platforms, today announced that readers of MobileVillage’s Go Mobile® Wireless & Mobile Technology Newsletter have voted three 2003 Mobile Star Awards to PointBase for its Mobile Database products. A Gold Star award went to PointBase UniSync as Best Data Synchronization Software, while Silver Star awards went to PointBase UniSync for Mobile Device Management and to PointBase Micro in the Customizable Database category.

The annual Mobile Star Awards recognize “organizations that use, build or integrate the best in mobile and wireless and achieve outstanding customer satisfaction and overall success.” Double award-winner and technology leader PointBase UniSync can bi-directionally synchronize a full copy or only changed data between mobile devices and a master database, allowing mobile users to access and update data even while offline, then synchronize the latest data when convenient. Silver award-winner PointBase Micro, with its ultra-small memory footprint, provides effective data management for rapid and efficient mobile enterprise applications on a variety of current and emerging Java-enabled devices.

"Readers of Go Mobile from MobileVillage are technically astute and are involved in extending their business and professional reach into the field through mobile computing," said Bruce Scott, president and founder of PointBase. "We deeply appreciate such a readership’s awarding, not one, but three top 2003 Mobile Star Awards to PointBase’s data management products for enterprise mobility.”

“With over 5000 mobile technology companies, IT buyers and consumers need help spotting the best products and services,” said Jon Covington, chairman and founder of MobileVillage. “Mobile Star Award winners are chosen by Go Mobile’s readers, a very savvy group of mobile technology users, and represent only the very best of today’s mobile products.”

In addition to the winning PointBase Micro and PointBase UniSync, the full PointBase Java-based product line also includes PointBase Embedded, designed for applications that require a full-featured Java relational database.
