VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 11, 2001

Psion Teklogix, a leader in mobile computing solutions for the enterprise, and SyVox Corporation, a leading provider of speech-based applications for industrial markets, today announced an agreement to jointly develop and market RF-based speech-powered solutions for organizations deploying the SAP(R) Logistics Execution System (SAP LES).

The two organizations will work together and combine the experience of Psion Teklogix' Integration Services Group in developing and delivering wireless solutions for the SAP(R) R/3(R) business solution with SyVox' competence in designing speech applications for the warehousing and logistics industry. This successful collaboration brings together Psion Teklogix' TekRF(TM) 2.0, the SAP-certified Cross Application-Advanced Data Collection (CA-ADC)/Mobile Computing interface software, and the SyVox SpeechNet(R) Logistics application. Joint development has been completed on a new set of collaborative tools and technologies, which will be co-marketed as TekRF for SpeechNet.

Developed exclusively for integration with the mySAP.com(R) e-business platform, TekRF for SpeechNet provides specific functionality for picking, putaway and inventory counting in warehousing operations. Psion Teklogix seamlessly interfaces TekRF and SpeechNet subsystem functionality with SAP R/3 software by utilizing SAP interface technology.

TekRF leverages the open and stable SAP interfaces to bring the functionality of SAP R/3 to the mobile user via a speech enabled data collection terminal, the Psion Teklogix 7035S. This advanced speech data terminal is used to connect mobile, front line workers directly to the SAP solution in real time. Ultimately impacting the customer's bottom line, inefficient and error-prone manual process steps are eliminated which result in significant time and cost savings. Organizations also enhance productivity by achieving faster response times.

"To be competitive in today's market, companies need to react quickly to new opportunities and situations by offering the flexibility to add new technology and features easily," emphasizes Duncan Smith, Psion Teklogix Vice President of Integration Services. "Integration of this advanced input capability clearly demonstrates TekRF's flexibility in incorporating new technologies and allows new and existing customers to take advantage of the high speed operational characteristics of hands free speech applications. We believe our partnership with SyVox will make integration of speech technologies into the SAP warehousing environment much more manageable for our customers."
