BERKELEY, Calif., June 14, 2004 - WorldSync, Inc. today shipped its new SyncDeK(r) Developer Kit on Mac OS X(r), with Windows(r) XP and 2000 in public beta, now providing an environment for configuring, testing, deploying and maintaining FileMaker(r) solutions using the new SyncDeK 5.0 data synchronization technology, also announced today (see related release).

SyncDeK Developer Kit includes the new SyncDeK Developer Tool for configuration and maintenance, two set-up assistants for creating and editing the solution's replication and Version Update Management (VUM) settings, access to an unlimited number of temporary activation keys for node set-up and testing, and more. Available immediately on Mac OS X directly from www.WorldSync.com, SyncDeK Developer Kit is introductory priced at US$499 (regularly US$749) through July 31, 2004. SyncDeK Developer Kit for Windows XP and Windows 2000 is currently in beta testing.

"SyncDeK Developer Kit provides FileMaker consultants and in-house developers the tools they need to include data replication capabilities in their deployed solutions," explained Jason Erickson, founder and CEO of WorldSync, Inc. "The new SyncDeK Developer Tool gives developers an easy environment for configuring and testing replication-enabled solutions. The tool's unique VUM capabilities make it easy for developers to distribute maintenance updates to deployed solutions. Simple changes, like a new layout, can even be published by the customer directly using the copy of the developer tool which comes with either of the SyncDeK 5 starter kits."

SyncDeK Developer Kit simplifies deploying distributed database configurations that include SyncDeK Single-user Engines and SyncDeK Network Engines, also announced today on both Mac OS X and Windows(r) platforms (see related release). 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 ubiquitous Internet communication protocols to sync XML data. SyncDeK provides field-level conflict detection and resolution, and is scalable across client/client, client/server or server/server solutions.

"Including additional equipment, one project's costs to link eight branches via SyncDeK will pay itself back within months," said Glenn Singleton, beta tester and IT Manager of Cornerstone ICT. "We're very excited by the prospects because it removes every restriction of high communication costs. Even clients in small country towns can now have technology that was only possible with products like Lotus Notes but with the ease of use of the SyncDeK environment. SyncDeK is much simpler for incorporating synchronization into our existing bound applications or our consulting projects than the combination of all other tools on the market."

Simple Set-up, Advanced Developer Features

The SyncDeK Developer Tool provides a mechanism for offline development. FileMaker developers can generate fully functional, 30-day test activation keys from within the tool to set-up and test SyncDeK nodes before deployment. Updates to a database schema, layouts and community structure also replicate through the VUM module. SyncDeK Developer Tool and FileMaker Developer work together to create sync-enabled bound or runtime applications.

SyncDeK Developer Tool includes two set-up assistants - one assistant streamlines the original configuration process, and the other streamlines maintenance. The conditional setting for allowing VUM is included in the maintenance-oriented set-up assistant. Configuration is completed in six screens even for fairly complex multi-hub-and-spoke data replication installations. Encryption is selected from the standard Java cryptography extensions, and can be extended via an API.

Compatibility, Pricing and Availability

For a limited time, SyncDeK Developer Kit is introductory priced at US$499 (regularly US$749). SyncDeK Developer Kit is available today on Mac OS X for configuring, testing and deploying SyncDeK Single-user Engines and SyncDeK Network Engines on both Mac OS X and Windows XP and 2000.
