Berkeley, CA—April 7, 2004—WorldSync, Inc. today expanded its
beta test program for SyncDeK(R) 5.0 to include members of the
FileMaker Solutions Alliance (FSA). Beginning today, FSA members are
invited to apply to WorldSync, Inc. to beta test the upcoming
bi-directional asynchronous data replication technology for data in
FileMaker(R) databases. Interested candidates can contact WorldSync
at <http://www.worldsync.com/betatest/>.

SyncDeK 5.0 is a standalone synchronization engine with a plug-in for
FileMaker databases. Advancing from a history of data synchronization
through scripting and third-party plug-ins, SyncDeK 5.0 now operates
as an independent background service, controlled within FileMaker
through a single plug-in, and configured through an easy to use
developer interface. SyncDeK 5.0 is a powerful application and
plug-in combination that together powers the synchronization of
specified fields between distributed databases based on configurable
rules, using commonly available Internet protocols.

"SyncDeK provides trustworthy data replication that's simple to
administer and very powerful," explained Jason Erickson, founder and
CEO of WorldSync, Inc. "As such, we're looking to the good men and
women of the FileMaker developer community to help us ensure
compatibility with real-world system setups. This is an exciting time
for WorldSync and FileMaker developers worldwide."

Designed for use by remote sites and mobile workers, often working
offline, SyncDeK combines the power of Java-based background services
with the flexibility of Internet communication protocols to sync XML
data. SyncDeK 5.0 provides field-level conflict detection and
resolution according to extensible rules, based on the company's
mature replication expertise. Highly configurable and scalable,
synchronization applies to individual data fields or entire FileMaker
files across client/client, client/server or server/server solutions.

The SyncDeK beta test is to ensure compatibility of SyncDeK 5.0 on
Mac OS X, Windows XP and 2000, and with FileMaker Pro 6, FileMaker
Pro 7, and FileMaker Server 6.
