SyncDeK 5.0 for FileMaker

, its bi-directional asynchronous data replication technology for FileMaker databases. SyncDeK 5.0 automatically tracks changes and synchronizes specified fields between distributed databases based on configurable rules (and using commonly available Internet protocols). It is being demonstrated throughout the show in both the SyncDeK booth (SIP3) and in the FileMaker booth (817).

SyncDeK combines the power of Java-based background services with the flexibility of Internet communication protocols to sync XML data. SyncDeK 5.0 is written in Java, and leverages XML to manage data exchange, automatically and transparently, while providing field-level conflict detection and resolution according to extensible rules. SynkDek offers services across client/client, client/server or server/server networks and its Java-based background service communicates with an accompanying plugin for FileMaker Pro, enabling developers to control synchronization directly from within FileMaker.



SyncDeK 5.0 also introduces a new SyncDeK Developer module for establishing and maintaining synchronization settings, controls and options. The SyncDeK Developer provides the advanced tools necessary for developers to simply configure SyncDeK for cost-effective, true synchronization in their FileMaker solutions.



SyncDeK 5.0 is scheduled for release in the coming weeks on Mac and Windows, with custom support services also available. Customers who have purchased SyncDeK since August 15, 2003 are eligible for a free upgrade. SyncDeK Developer is priced at $1,300, while SyncDeK 5.0 deployment licenses are priced at $1000 for SyncDeK Server and $200 each for SyncDeK Clients.
