What is synchronization?

Synchronization is the process of importing or exporting information to and from your site. You can do one-way imports and exports or synchronize. Synchronization compares the data in your site to the data in Outlook or Palm, and then makes any necessary changes to both systems to make sure they contain the same data.

What can I synchronize?

For example, you can:
- Export your web office member list to Outlook or Palm
- Import all the contacts you have in Outlook into your site
- Synchronize events on your Palm with events in your web office calendar
- Synchronize tasks in your site with those in Outlook
