Intellisync Anywhere ships with such a utility. In XtndConnect's other authentication method, users may be authenticated against user lists held by Notes or Exchange, thereby alleviating the tedium of creating individual accounts for synchronizing users. Here again, the configuration support that the software provided was thin, making setup more difficult than necessary. Once we cleared the setup hurdles, the synchronization process was smooth. XtndConnect offers a large variety of options to customize the synchronization tasks.
Administrators can limit data to be synchronized by size, date, content and other criteria.
In the same way, XtndConnect synchronizes data from ODBC-compliant data bases to handhelds. Administrators can create separate groups for synchronization actions, making it possible for mobile employees to receive only data that is relevant to their tasks. Handhelds running the XtndConnect client can access the XtndConnect server directly through LAN or WAN connections or remotely through a modem. This sort of freedom from the desktop PC can be a boon to handheld users, particularly those who wish to use intermediate-size portable devices, such as Series 7 or IBM's z50, in lieu of a laptop. Easy Administrators will appreciate XtndConnect's comprehensive handheld reporting features, which provides information on the battery and memory state of devices with which it has connected as well as detailed information on the physical characteristics and operating systems of connecting devices.
