Deltek Announces Licensing And Distribution Agreement With Pumatech
SOURCE: Deltek Systems, Inc.
Solution Will Enable Deltek Clients To Synchronize Microsoft Exchange And Lotus Notes Personal Information Management (PIM) And E-mail Data With Deltek Vision
HERNDON, VA--(INTERNET WIRE)--Apr 29, 2002 -- Deltek Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:DLTK - news) today announced that it is the first vendor to license Pumatech, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:PUMA - news) industry-leading server-to-server connectivity and synchronization technology. The solution will enable users of Deltek's newest Web-based professional services automation solution (PSA), Deltek Vision, to synchronize their calendar, contacts, tasks and e-mail between Deltek Vision and Microsoft Outlook (via Microsoft Exchange), between Deltek Vision and Lotus Notes (via Domino), and between Deltek Vision and PDA and wireless devices.
Pumatech is the leading provider of enterprise-level software products and services that deliver highly relevant information wherever and whenever it's needed, and Deltek is the leading provider of business software, solutions and consulting to more than 7,500 professional services firms and project-based businesses worldwide.
Under the terms of the agreement announced today, Deltek is purchasing a license to create server-to-server connectivity between its Deltek Vision software and Pumatech's Enterprise Intellisync Server product using Pumatech's XML toolkit. Deltek is also purchasing a license to distribute a version of the Enterprise Intellisync Server that will enable Deltek clients to deploy a wireless device synchronization solution throughout the enterprise, creating "three-way" synchronization capability among Deltek Vision, the Enterprise Intellisync Server (Lotus Notes and Microsoft Exchange), and Palm OS(R) or Pocket PC/Windows CE handhelds.
"One of the greatest challenges facing firms today is how to better manage corporate information in ways that help employees do their jobs effectively, while at the same time ensuring that information is easily accessible to those who depend upon it," said Deltek's Vice President of PSA Design and Product Management, Scott DeFusco. "By integrating Deltek Vision with Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes, and popular devices such as Palm(R) or Pocket PC/Windows CE handhelds, we are enabling our customers to leverage their groupware investment while providing real-time and offline access to their critical corporate information."
"Our clients will also benefit from Pumatech's new server-to-server synchronization technology because no additional software is required," DeFusco adds, "and because automating the synchronization process ensures that they have ready access to the most current and essential information when and where they need it."
Deltek Vision is a fully integrated Web-based PSA solution that automates all of the core business functions and processes of professional services firms, making them significantly more efficient, collaborative and profitable throughout the entire project lifecycle from proposal inception to project completion. It delivers these benefits by seamlessly combining applications that automate financial accounting and billing; time and expense management; resource scheduling and project management; client relationship management and proposal automation; and human resources. The product can be purchased and deployed as a fully integrated solution or by its individual applications that can be integrated with a user's existing systems.
Enterprise Intellisync Server - a major component of Pumatech's Enterprise Intellisync, Second Edition package - provides a single resource for synchronizing PIM, e-mail and custom database information, both locally and remotely, between desktop PCs, servers and mobile devices - and for managing handheld software and devices from one centralized location.
"Like many successful software companies, Deltek has chosen to rely on Pumatech to provide core technology that connects their solution to enterprise groupware. This agreement is the first of many that will connect successful enterprise software solutions to our next-generation Enterprise Intellisync Server," said Brad Rowe, Pumatech's president, CEO, and co-founder.
