The Problem: BlackBerry and iPhone/iPad devices easily sync with each user's Outlook Contacts folder, but there is no built-in way to sync the GAL to BlackBerry devices or iPhones, or to sync a Public Folder containing contacts. This means that address book entries saved by users rapidly become out of date.
The Solution: Epicenter Server, from Connected Software, gives your users their own local copy of the corporate address book. Once the contacts are in each user's mailbox in Outlook, their smartphone can synchronize with it. Updates are automatically updated and distributed to keep contacts are kept up to date. No additional software is required on the BlackBerry or iPhone.
How It Works: On a scheduled basis, Epicenter Server synchronizes a copy of the GAL to a contacts folder in each user's mailbox. Then BES or ActiveSync synchronizes those changes to each user's device.
You install Epicenter Server on a single computer. During installation, you configure Epicenter Server by telling it which address book to distribute, who should receive the address book, and how often to send updates. The address book could be your Exchange GAL, an Exchange address list, or an Exchange Public Folder.
Once you've configured Epicenter Server, updates are sent automatically on your given schedule. Users wirelessly receive updates, which appear in the address book on their BlackBerry or iPhone. No user involvement is required.
