WORLDSYNC, INC. SHIPS NEW SYNCDEK 7
– Patented Data Replication Technology for FileMaker Developers Is Now the First and Only Tool to Facilitate Intelligent Inclusion of SQL Data Sources with FileMaker-based Solutions –
In another first, remote administration of SyncDeK is now possible
using a web browser, and FileMaker developers using FileMaker Pro
8.5 Advanced can utilize the Web Viewer feature in FileMaker 8.5 to
configure and control SyncDeK all from within their database
solutions. SyncDeK 7 is available today, directly from
<http://www.worldsync.com/>.
"The combined abilities in SyncDeK 7 for incorporating
SQL data sources and for leveraging the powerful Web Viewer feature
in FileMaker 8.5 provide FileMaker developers with some stunning
technological advances," said Jason Erickson, president
and CEO of WorldSync, Inc. "Recently granted a patent,
SyncDeK provides bi-directional, asynchronous data replication for
the rest of us. Up until now, 'the rest of us'
included FileMaker developers working with FileMaker-based data
sources, but with SyncDeK 7 FileMaker developers can now also
involve SQL data sources."
"Our staff work in the field and synchronization with our
SQL backend is very important, so, keeping our Oracle databases in
sync with our FileMaker 8.5 databases is a real
lifesaver," explained Mark Stuller, IT specialist for
Information Systems, Oregon Dept. of Agriculture.
"WorldSync has a real winner here, especially for the
enterprise where SQL backends dominate. SyncDeK 7 was easy to setup
with ongoing low administrative overhead providing a key metric for
success."
SyncDeK provides the technology to deliver solutions that
distribute data to mobile workers, remote users, multiple sites,
and customers and prospects all over the globe. SyncDeK
revolutionizes data synchronization and replication with
cost-effective, powerful technology that is elegantly simple for
users, and flexible for developers, now utilizing any combination
of FileMaker and SQL data sources.
Expand Your World, Blow Their Mind
SyncDeK 7 now provides support for data synchronization between
FileMaker Pro databases and SQL data sources, such as MS SQL,
Oracle, Access and MySQL. The SQL support in SyncDeK 7 works with
any combination of data sources and is not limited to those options
that are pre-configured in SyncDeK Developer but can also include
other JDBC/ODBC-accessible data sources.
For developers using the latest FileMaker Pro 8.5 Advanced and
FileMaker Server 8.5 Advanced, new, included SyncDeK 7 Web Viewer
objects can replace the SyncDeK Developer tool and allows for
web-based administration. For other developers, the new SyncDeK 7
Developer tool represents a total user interface overhaul with a
new project-style approach. The new SyncDeK Developer interface
design facilitates rapid, direct access to SyncDeK's power
and easier configuration management of any data sharing community.
For all developers, performance is noticeably faster during
'subscribe' operations. SyncDeK 7 also now provides
automatic deployment of SyncDeK updates so end-user nodes always
use the latest maintenance version.
