Public Folder Synchronisation

There are several standard tools available to synchronise iPhone, Blackberry and Android phones with Outlook Personal Folders. So getting your personal contacts, appointments and tasks onto your phone is relatively straight forward.

Davton have solved the Public Folder synchronisation problem by creating a tool which synchronises Public Folders to Personal Folders. Once the contacts, appointments or tasks are transferred from the Public Folder to the personal folder, your standard method of synchronising personal folders automatically copies the data to your iPhone, Blackberry or Android phone.

 

Do you need 1-Way or 2-Way Sync ?

1-Way Sync: Use SyncManager (1-Way sync) where you want to ensure the integrity of the Master folder

With 1-Way sync there is a clear master folder (normaly a public folder) which never gets changed. Any changes to the Public folder are replicated to the other folder. Changes made to the Personal folder are NOT copied to the master folder.

 

2-Way Sync: Use DavSync (2-Way sync) where you want to be able to update the data from local folders as well as centrally

With 2-Way sync changes in any folder are copied to the other folder (or folders). This makes it much easier to keep the central folder up to date. It also means it is harder to control the changes being made to the data.

Personal or Enterprise?

We have stopped promoting our Enterprise Products due to the increasing complexity of setting up the required permissions for them to run on a server. We are working on a slightly different synchronisation strategy which we hope will be much simpler to set up and configure for Enterprise use.

Our personal products are still an ideal way to manage synchronisation for one user (or even two or three).

'SyncManager Personal' and
'DavSync Personal' are simple cost effective solutions installed on each user's PC. They are quick to install and in-expensive.

'SyncManager Enterprise' and
'DavSync Enterprise' are no longer being promoted. They ran as a service on a server and were centrally set up.
