Data Sync Components

Users have the ability to work disconnected in the field (on a laptop or tablet pc) when not connected to the network. When the user returns to the office, a synchronization process is started to send/retrieve data, which merges data into the central database server. This transfer can take place via a network connection, VPN, AirCard or internet connection. To use this feature, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition or higher is required for the Server Setup.
