123-Sync and Act 2010

[itgeekuk]

We are about to Deploy 123 Synchronizer to our environment. The Goal is to synchronize our Contacts, Calendar and notes from ACT into Our Blackberries and Vice Versa.

We have around 30 Act Users which 15 -20 are Remote Users with there own Remote Database which they sync with the Main database every couple of days.

Currently our plan is to Deploy a new Server to act as the 123-Sync Server which will Sync With out Main Act Database.

What effect will the Remote Synchronization have on the 123-Sync sync and Vice Versa.

You might be best off asking this of the guys at 123.

It certainly seemed ok when I did some testing of it as part of this article:

But I didn't fully test remote ACT! sync with the mix... I have tested that with Handheld Contact, which works fine

Hi Thanks,

I have asked them and they said to ask ACT.

Wow ... it's purely a question of how they are doing the data. It's something they should test.

Response like that would really make me want to look at Handheld Contact

The issue you will experience will be related tot he couple of days between syncs for your remote users, 123 Sync will be set-up on the master database and if someone enters an appointment in the remote database it will not appear in their PDA until they sync ACT. You woul dneed to get everyone to sync more regularly.
