ENCIRQ Data Foundation Framework - Telematics Edition Unveiled at Telematics Update 2005

High Performance Data Management Solution Reduces Costs and Complexity of Building Telematics Applications

DETROIT, May 16 -- TELEMATICS UPDATE -- ENCIRQ Corporation, the leading provider of high performance data management solutions for embedded systems, today announced the availability of the ENCIRQ Data Foundation Framework -- Telematics Edition. This complete data management framework enables automotive software developers to easily integrate complex, real-world information from both inside and outside a vehicle to create new functionality, new business models, and unique consumer experiences -- all within the challenging constraints of a fiercely competitive marketplace.

"Modern telematics systems are becoming the gateway for vehicle communications as data and information from inside and outside the vehicle are increasingly integrated," said Mark Vogel, chief executive officer, ENCIRQ. "Achieving interoperability between software applications in a highly networked automotive environment requires an entirely new approach to data management. ENCIRQ is delivering unparalleled innovation in automotive data management, offering solutions that facilitate much more than the standard data access from a single system. We're providing solutions that integrate data across multiple, heterogeneous subsystems. In doing so, we're enabling new capabilities, new experiences and new business models -- even after a solution is deployed in the market."

The Telematics Edition of ENCIRQ Data Foundation Framework is designed to reduce the cost and complexity of building and deploying advanced telematics applications. It incorporates an entirely new class of data management services that have been optimized for embedded systems.

The Telematics Edition enables developers to build higher performing solutions faster by generating application-specific data management components for their software applications. It includes pre-written code, common data implementations, functions and interfaces that enable rapid application development. It represents the current best practices in the use of data management technology as a foundation for sophisticated Telematics applications.

Nominated for the 2005 Telematics Update Horizon Award, the ENCIRQ Framework is unique in that it offers developers complete architectural flexibility. There are no proprietary APIs or forced architectural implementations. For example, it can provide data management services within the confines of a single software application, as a shared system service for all applications simultaneously or across multiple software applications selectively.

Integrating seamlessly with existing C/C++ and Java applications, the ENCIRQ Framework protects and leverages manufacturers existing software investments. It also works with or without a real-time operating system and supports multiple microprocessor architectures -- all the way from 8-bit microcontrollers to 64-bit high performance computing engines.

Availability

The Telematics Edition of ENCIRQ Data Foundation Framework will be available in June 2005. Please contact ENCIRQ for specific pricing or visit http://www.encirq.com/ for more information.
