Our mobile sync application works in a similar way as the service to sync Blackberry with Outlook data. The big difference is that our solution works on nearly every mobile phone on the market.

Our mobile technology is divided into two main applications:

• Our sync webserver stores each subscriber's emails, contacts, calender items and tasks. This central set of data is then used to keep other datasources of the subscriber in sync with one another.
• One or more datasources which the subscriber wants to keep in sync. These datasources are typically email clients such as Outlook on the one hand and a mobile phone on the other hand.

As soon as a change is detected on one of the datasources, the Sync server will download the changed element(s), and distribute the changes to the other datasources of the subscriber.

To utilise this sync functionality,the following is required:

• An internet connection on each device which needs to be kept in sync
• Mobile software which must be installed on the subscriber's cellphone
• Pc software which must be installed on the subscriber's computer

This software will notify the Sync Server of any changes on the respective device, and will then facilitate the transfer of the data changes to and from the Sync Server.

The sync mechanism is based on 'Push' technology. This means that data is only exchanged between the devices and the server when a change is made/detected.

Most of the sync software has not been created using customized software development , but instead it is based on Open Source standards meaning that there are no license fees to be paid.
