XTNDConnectTM Server Makes Data More Accessible

Corporate America is realizing the need to integrate and manage mobile computing devices in the enterprise environment. Synchronization solutions that support standard groupware applications and ODBC databases, as well as a wide range of mobile devices, are a key element in helping IT departments develop and deploy a secure and flexible mobile information management strategy.

XTNDConnect Server (formerly known as ASL-Connect) synchronizes Windows CE and Palm Computing mobile devices with Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes/Domino servers and custom ODBC-compliant databases. Users can connect locally or remotely using cable, infrared, LAN, WAN or modem connections.
