Palm Delivers HotSync Server
The number of owners of handheld personal digital assistants such as the Palm and HandSpring is growing at an enormous rate. For many business professionals a PDA is not a luxury, but a requirement. Four of five handhelds are said to be manufactured by Palm, Inc. Today, they delivered a solution to synchronizing corporate data with its revolutionary product.
Synchronization involves transferring data from your PC such as schedules, various documents, and programs for the mini-system, onto the PDA for use and easy portability. Until now, a solid solution for transferring corporate databases did not exist. Now Palm has Palm HotSync Server to make things easier.
According to Palm, Inc., HotServer allows the synchronization of handheld data with existing corporate databases and "mission-critical applications" such as Lotus Notes. The devices can now be treated like any other network machine.
The server is completely customizable, allowing for corporations to create proprietary software solutions for problems or routines in the company. It also allows for tracking handheld usage, the creation and management of user profiles, and standardization of builds and applications, as well as application deployment.
