Internet Synchronisation

Share the database between several remote disconnected computers, such as laptops of your sales staff on the road. Internet Synchronisation is a simple and efficient method of team collaboration when team members may not see each other in days:

• Simple to use function - each user needs only press two buttons
• No floppy disks needed
• Works with or without a central office network

Internet Synchronisation requires an FTP site which you need to procure independently.

This is how it works:
The module adds two functions to the program - "Upload Changes I Made" and "Download Data from Server".

"Upload changes I Made" saves recent changes into an update file and uploads to the FTP site. Each record has a timestamp of when it was last modified.

For example, if you added a new contact record and modified some details of an existing one, these two records will be copied into the update file.

"Download Data from Server" checks if there are any update files from other workstations, downloads them and collates with your current database. If the record from the update file already exists in the database, this function selects the record that was modified last.

Upload and Download can be performed as often as required. For example, synchronisation can be organised as follows:

1. Every evening, after completing their work, your staff upload their daily changes to the server. Each workstation will generate a single file on the server.

2. Next morning, before they commence their working day, they download the changes from the server. Each team member’s computer will automatically download and import changes made by other team members.
