BERKELEY, Calif., January 13, 2004 - WorldSync, Inc. today announced it is proud to bring home a Macworld Best of Show Award for SyncDeK® 5.0, powerful data replication and synchronization technology for FileMaker® databases.

Representing the most exciting hardware and software products announced at 2004 Macworld Conference & Expo in San Francisco, Calif., the "Macworld Best of Show Awards" are presented by IDG's Macworld, the premier Macintosh magazine and Web sites.

"Developers showed a level of imagination and integration with their products that has not been seen before," said Jim Dalrymple, editor online for MacCentral and Macworld.com.

Macworld Editors determined that SyncDeK "solves a long-standing need with distributed FileMaker databases - making sure that any changed data is synchronized between databases."

"Macworld Expo was the first time SyncDeK 5.0, as a new standalone product, was shown to the public," explained Jason Erickson, founder and CEO of WorldSync, Inc. "Originally grown from a community of FileMaker developers, SyncDek 5.0 enables intelligent, secure exchange of structured data between people using FileMaker databases. We're thrilled to be immediately recognized by the industry's leading editors for our contribution to information empowerment."

Publicly debuted for the first time at 2004 Macworld Conference & Expo in San Francisco, SyncDeK 5.0 is scheduled to ship in the coming weeks. SyncDeK 5.0 is powerful software that automatically tracks changes and synchronizes specified fields between distributed databases based on configurable rules, using commonly available Internet protocols. Designed for use by remote sites and mobile workers, often working offline, SyncDeK combines the power of Java-based background services with the flexibility of Internet communication protocols to sync XML data.

SyncDeK 5.0 is written in Java, and leverages XML to manage data exchange, transparently and securely, while providing field-level conflict detection and resolution according to extensible rules. SyncDeK's Java-based background service communicates with an accompanying plugin for FileMaker Pro, enabling developers to control synchronization directly from within FileMaker.
