Intellisync Corporation was a provider of data synchronization software for mobile devices, such as mobile phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs). The company was acquired in 2006 by Nokia.
Puma Technology (known as Pumatech) was based in San Jose, California. It was founded in August 1993 by Bradley A. Rowe and Stephen A. Nicol. Three rounds of venture capital included investors Greylock Partners CSK Venture Capital, and Intel. In April 1996, Puma acquired IntelliLink Corporation for $3.5 million. It announced an initial public offering on the NASDAQ on 6 December 1996. It raised about $37 million and was traded under the symbol PUMA. Pumatech acquired SoftMagic in July 1998, ProxiNet in October 1999, NetMind in February 2000, Dry Creek Software in July 2000, and The Windward Group in October 2000. In March 2003, it acquired the Starfish Software division of Motorola.
Pumatech acquired the Alpharetta, Georgia based Synchrologic in late 2003 and renamed itself Intellisync Corporation (after its IntelliSync product family) in 2004. The company developed mobile software and data synchronization software. It was traded under the symbol SYNC. On 31 January 2006, stockholder approval was secured for Intellisync to be acquired by Nokia. On 10 February 2006, Nokia completed its acquisition. In November 2006 Nokia announced integration with Exchange ActiveSync and its Eseries products.
After the Nokia acquisition, the Intellisync headquarters in San Jose closed and all employees moved to the Nokia office in Mountain View, California. The company had development offices in Alpharetta, Georgia, Bulgaria, New Delhi, Tokyo and Cluj-Napoca. Nokia announced that the IntelliSync Desktop product was discontinued and the last date available to order the product was 19 July 2008. Product support was provided through 19 July 2010.
