Meeting Maker Extends Group Calendaring and Scheduling Integration Across
Microsoft Outlook and Windows CE/RIM Devices

Intellisync For Web XML Toolkit Provides Open Architecture To Enhance
Extensibility And Support Easy Integration Of Additional Applications

SAN JOSE, Calif. - (February 12, 2002) - Pumatech, Inc. (NASDAQ:PUMA), a
leading provider of enterprise-level software products and services that
deliver highly relevant information wherever and whenever it's needed, today
announced a licensing agreement with Meeting Maker, Inc., a leading
developer of cross-platform, collaborative group calendaring and scheduling
solutions. Meeting Maker will utilize Pumatech's Intellisync for Web XML
toolkit software to integrate the Intellisync synchronization engine into
the new Meeting Maker 7.1 group calendaring and scheduling platform. This
will enhance Meeting Maker product integration across Microsoft Outlook and
additional mobile devices, including those based on the Windows CE and RIM
platforms. The integration of Intellisync will enable Meeting Maker users to
better leverage the variety of mobile devices increasingly being used by
employees to manage personal and professional schedule, contact and task
information. In addition, through the integration of Pumatech's Intellisync
engine, the new Meeting Maker 7.1 platform will gain tighter integration
with enterprise applications, such as Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes.

"Our products are utilized in enterprise environments that encompass
extensive networks of employees using a wide variety of mobile devices and
software to manage information," said John T. Anderson, president of Meeting
Maker. "Through our relationship with Pumatech, we will be able to provide
our customers with a market-leading synchronization solution that will
enable them to leverage popular devices, including Windows CE devices and
RIM pagers, to manage personal and group calendar information in real time,
bolstering the wide array of enhanced features within the new Meeting Maker
7.1 platform. The work with Pumatech will allow us to easily add new mobile
and wireless capabilities in the future, and enable Meeting Maker to
integrate with other key enterprise applications such as Outlook and Notes."

Pumatech's Intellisync for Web XML toolkit is a quick time-to-market
solution designed to enable software developers, portals and telcos to
synchronize Web-based applications with leading PIM (personal information
management) software and mobile devices, including Microsoft Outlook and
Palm OS handhelds. Leveraging Pumatech's Intellisync for Web XML toolkit,
Meeting Maker 7.1 will be able to benefit from the same Intellisync platform
utilized by such high-profile Pumatech customers as Yahoo!, Oracle, Siebel
and nearly 200 others, providing Meeting Maker, Inc., with the potential to
integrate support for these applications in the future.

"As a growing number of enterprises work to implement infrastructure that
enables real-time information delivery and access, they are demanding
applications that support the complete range of mobile devices used by their
employees, customers and partners," said Brad Rowe, president and CEO of
Pumatech. "With the integration of our powerful Intellisync synchronization
engine, Meeting Maker demonstrates its commitment to providing customers
with a flexible, extensible platform for managing important schedule
information regardless of which device they use."
