Davton Synchronization Solutions
Public Folders are a great place to store shared information -
Company Contacts for example. But taking an up to date copy of that
information with you when you leave the office can be tricky.
Davton's Synchronization products enable users to take a copy of
their Public Folder data with them on their phone. They work by copying
the data from the public folder to the users local mailbox - which
allows the users usual synchronisation software to copy the data to the
phone.
Davton have several products, each designed for different scenarios.
- Server based tools for large numbers of users which require no
installation on the user's PC.
- Client based tools which can be installed quickly and easily on
one users PC.
- One way synchronisation tools which protect the integrity of the
central store.
- Two way synchronisation tools which allow any changes made while
mobile to update the central store.
All our products can be customised if you have particular
requirements which are not in the standard product.

Is Two-way synchronisation better than One-way synchronisation?
Davton offer both one way and two way synchronisation tools. There
are benefits with both methods, but Davton work on the premise ' Keep it
Simple'. On that basis we recommend using One-way synchronisation unless
you have a specific requirement for Two-way synchronisation. One-way synchronisation
- There is a clear 'Master' folder where
information is stored and managed.
- Only users with access to the master folder can change
information.
- Simple to set up and understand
- Easier to manage
- Ideal for large implementations where many users require a copy
of central information
Two-way synchronisation
- Any user can update and change information
- Information can be kept up to date by users
- There is no 'Master' folder - all folders (and
users) are equal.
- There is a greater possibility that information may get changed
or overwritten by mistake.
- Set up needs to be carefully planned
