WORLDSYNC RELEASES SYNCDEK 5.1 UPGRADE

BERKELEY, Calif., June 14, 2005 - WorldSync, Inc. today released SyncDeK(r) 5.1 for FileMaker Pro, adding several new features to their award-winning distributed data integration software. Typical uses for SyncDeK include supporting workgroups with multiple offices, mobile laptop users, heterogeneous systems and other complex data sharing requirements.

SyncDeK's intelligent bi-directional data replication technology automatically tracks changes and synchronizes specified fields between distributed databases, including FileMaker Pro 6 and/or 7. SyncDeK uses standards including Java, XML and JDBC for flexible data integration and communication across the Internet.

"SyncDeK 5.1 is really designed to improve the productivity of developer who need to support systems for data distribution," explained Jason Erickson, founder and CEO of WorldSync, Inc. "This release fills out the SyncDeK 5 version and provides a very stable and efficient environment to build distributed solutions."

The SyncDeK 5.1 product line includes the following feature enhancements:

SyncDeK Engine 5.1 - a Java-based background application for data integration and replication.

High-performance Caching - SyncDeK's internal cache, used to ensure data integrity between nodes, has been overhauled to reduce storage space by approximately 85%.
Continuous synchronization - Synchronization for all database tables can be controlled from within FileMaker Pro, triggered through a single script, and now continuously performed at specific intervals, without requiring any additional scripting or external plug-ins.
New Communication options - SyncDeK 5.1 adds support for new messaging, authentication, encryption and compression options for communicating synchronization data across WAN, LAN or Internet. This enables secure and efficient transfer of data between distributed users and servers.

File management Plug-in functions - New options for writing, reading and moving file data outside of FileMaker Pro, including methods to manage distribution of Container field data, and distribution of database version updates.
Logging, Fault tolerance - Added support for plug-in driven log entries, control over logging levels, and new plug-in function: "Sync:Errors".
