Handhelds and Lotus Notes Mix Nicely

Puma links PalmPilot and Windows CE to popular groupware environment

Puma has made it its business to link just about any mobile computing device to anything else, including mobile, desktop, and even Internet-based computer systems. It does this by using a patented synchronization engine technology called DSX, to which it connects specialized interfaces that forms the link with the particular device.

Recently, the company once again expanded its portfolio, this time offering a link to Lotus Notes for users of 3Com’s PalmPilot, as well as Windows CE-based devices. The company says that other platforms that are part of its Intellisync family will be added at a later time.

Using the software, people will be able to synchronize information between their handhelds and PCs running the popular Notes environment. Notes forms the backbone of many corporate groupware systems, and the software should make it easier for both managers and individuals to more easily integrate handhelds into their work environment.

Both Intellisync for PalmPilot and Windows CE are expected to be available in the first quarter of this year, and will be priced at $69.95.
