Posted on: Monday, 27 October 2003, 06:00 CST

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- KnowNow, Inc., a leading provider of Internet solutions that connect people, applications, and services in real-time, today announced the availability of LivePDA(TM), new publish-and-subscribe software that delivers real-time data to mobile devices. KnowNow's LivePDA extends the reach of the KnowNow Event Routing Platform(TM), enabling real-time data delivery and collaboration on a range of mobile devices. With LivePDA, workers using Microsoft Pocket PC are continuously connected to real-time information, giving them visibility into critical business events, increasing productivity and allowing organizations to become more agile and responsive.

KnowNow's LivePDA automatically delivers live updates over the Internet, enabling wireless mobile workers to receive key changes to information from corporate systems as they occur. For occasionally connected mobile users, updates are queued and instantly delivered when they re-connect to the network. LivePDA also enables users to engage in live Internet chat sessions.

"Many knowledge workers who are key to keeping a business dynamic and responsive are often out of the office or working in remote locations," said Richard Treadway, vice president of marketing for KnowNow. "Our new LivePDA offering is designed to meet the needs of these mobile workers and enable them to respond to events that require immediate attention."

Key features of LivePDA include:

-- Easy-to-Use -- simple APIs allow developers to be up and running

quickly

-- Disconnected Operations -- auto-synchronization for use when not

connected to the network

-- Firewall-Friendly -- works over the Internet and through firewalls so

partners and extended teammates can collaborate

-- Enterprise Connectivity -- live two-way connect to corporate systems to

publish and subscribe information changes to all users and systems

-- End-to-End Security -- any or all communications can be encrypted using

industry-standard 128-bit SSL, and KnowNow is compatible with SSL

acceleration products. Simple access control is available and security

modules take advantage of authentication and authorization systems

already in place

"Mobile applications often have a need for event-driven design and an infrastructure capable of sending events effectively," said Roy Schulte, analyst for Gartner Group. "Remote connectivity is an important element in the event architectures of an increasing number of companies."
