FileMaker Press Release
WorldSync, Inc. Opens SyncDeK 5.0 Beta to Testers from FSA Community
FileMaker Solutions Alliance Members are Invited to Apply to Test Upcoming SyncDeK 5.0, Providing Standards-based Data Synchronization for FileMaker Pro 6 and 7 --
Berkeley, CA—April 7, 2004—WorldSync, Inc.
today expanded its
beta test program for SyncDeK(R) 5.0 to include members of
the
FileMaker Solutions Alliance (FSA). Beginning today, FSA members
are
invited to apply to WorldSync, Inc. to beta test the
upcoming
bi-directional asynchronous data replication technology for data
in
FileMaker(R) databases. Interested candidates can contact
WorldSync
at <http://www.worldsync.com/betatest/>.
SyncDeK 5.0 is a standalone synchronization engine with a plug-in
for
FileMaker databases. Advancing from a history of data
synchronization
through scripting and third-party plug-ins, SyncDeK 5.0 now
operates
as an independent background service, controlled within
FileMaker
through a single plug-in, and configured through an easy to
use
developer interface. SyncDeK 5.0 is a powerful application
and
plug-in combination that together powers the synchronization
of
specified fields between distributed databases based on
configurable
rules, using commonly available Internet protocols.
"SyncDeK provides trustworthy data replication that's simple
to
administer and very powerful," explained Jason Erickson, founder
and
CEO of WorldSync, Inc. "As such, we're looking to the good men
and
women of the FileMaker developer community to help us ensure
compatibility with real-world system setups. This is an exciting
time
for WorldSync and FileMaker developers worldwide."
Designed for use by remote sites and mobile workers, often
working
offline, SyncDeK combines the power of Java-based background
services
with the flexibility of Internet communication protocols to sync
XML
data. SyncDeK 5.0 provides field-level conflict detection
and
resolution according to extensible rules, based on the
company's
mature replication expertise. Highly configurable and
scalable,
synchronization applies to individual data fields or entire
FileMaker
files across client/client, client/server or server/server
solutions.
The SyncDeK beta test is to ensure compatibility of SyncDeK 5.0
on
Mac OS X, Windows XP and 2000, and with FileMaker Pro 6,
FileMaker
Pro 7, and FileMaker Server 6.
