Everypath Extends Leadership With New Mobile Offering; Breakthrough Product Overcomes Critical Barriers to Adoption of Mobile Applications by Enterprises

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 17, 2004--Everypath today unveiled the next generation of its market-leading, mobile task automation offering, Everypath MTA 5.0. The new product introduces packaged MTA components enabling mobile applications that automate sales, service and supply chain tasks to be easily deployed and managed. Everypath MTA 5.0 also features multi-mode connectivity, enabling a new class of "always-on" mobile enterprise applications that seamlessly blend real-time wireless access to corporate data with the ability to manipulate information stored locally on a handheld device.

"Everypath is one of the few companies that understands that technology innovations must be aligned with business process objectives in order to generate lasting value for customers," said Brent Iadarola from Frost & Sullivan. "Everypath MTA 5.0 architecture provides a low total cost of ownership while new multi-mode connectivity ensures enterprise users will have state-of-the-art mobile application functionality," said Iadarola.

"Everypath remains focused on our mobile task automation strategy and making mobility simple for the enterprise," said Mark Tapling, president and CEO of Everypath. "Everypath MTA 5.0 was shaped by the knowledge we gained from the real-world experience of our customers and will address enterprises business needs while exceeding their expectations," said Tapling.

Delivering Compelling Mobile Applications

Everypath MTA 5.0 advances MTA application functionality with the introduction of a family of MTA application components. MTA application components dramatically streamline the performance of tasks by mobile sales, service and supply chain personnel, targeting the life sciences, consumer and industrial products sectors. Everypath MTA 5.0 includes components for a wide variety of mobile tasks such as activity management, detailing, order entry, inventory look-up, call reporting and much more. To address specific business process requirements, Everypath MTA application components can be easily configured to adjust task sequences, user interfaces and functional requirements. A key design goal of each component is to leverage logic and data from existing applications rather than duplicating functionality by creating separate stand-alone applications.

Meeting the Needs of Occasionally Connected Users

Everypath MTA 5.0 applications combine real-time (wireless) and store-and-forward (offline) interactions in a single software framework, dramatically reducing the cost and complexity of providing an "always-on" mobile user experience. For example, a mobile sales representative can retrieve customer contact information replicated onto a handheld device while looking up order status information located in a corporate database accessed using a real-time connection. The new multi-mode support enhances Everypath's unique ability to seamlessly blend data from multiple sources into a single application and deploy on virtually any device, including PDAs, Tablet PCs, and smart mobile phones.

Comprehensive Life Cycle Management

Addressing one of the largest barriers to deploying new applications in the enterprise, Everypath MTA 5.0 also introduces an MTA repository and life cycle management capability. The product permits "point-and-click" binding of application components from the MTA repository to existing applications to dramatically reduce the complexity of data integration. Applications are published from the repository to the Everypath MTA server for centralized distribution of new or updated applications. A browser-based management console enables end user, application and device management including extensive security, performance monitoring and help desk capability to support every aspect of an MTA application's life cycle.

Everypath MTA 5.0 is available immediately with license pricing beginning at $100,000.
