Sync your Exchange Public Folders and Outlook Personal Folders with Add2Exchange Enterprise

Add2Exchange™ Enterprise is an award-winning sync solution for Exchange users who need to sync public folders to users' personal folders or would like to have personal mailbox folders synchronized to a shared Company public folder.  Add2Exchange offers Exchange and Outlook folder synchronization for calendars, contacts, task, post/mail folders.  Add2Exchange is ideal for smartphone and mobile device users (iPhones, iPads, Androids, BlackBerry) who need information from the public folder synchronized to the personal folder.  Add2Exchange has been optimized to work with BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) to offer public to private and private to public sync. A fully functional 21-day trial version is available in our Downloads area.

Add2Exchange is a versatile solution. Using “information relationships”, Add2Exchange can copy and sync information 1-way or 2-way back and forth between the two selected folders. Items are automatically synchronized based on the settings you selected during the setup and the synchronization works transparently in the background.  Appointments, contacts, tasks, & posts can be sent to public folders from users, sent to users' personal folders from shared Company public folders, and synchronized private to private among users' personal folders so teams can access the information easily in Outlook at the office and on their mobiles devices. Having this information readily available improves team collaboration and productivity.

Most Common Uses of Add2Exchange Enterprise

Add2Exchange Enterprise Key Features:

Automatically create relationships based on distribution lists with Built In Relationship Group Manager

With this robust sync solution, we have simplified how to administer relationships. One of the more popular features of Add2Exchange Enterprise Edition is the ability to setup Active Directory Distribution Groups and create relationship templates to the Active Directory group. Adding new relationships is done by simply adding users to the distribution group. The next time Add2Exchange Enterprise syncs, it creates each relationship and can even create new folders for you, if necessary. You can find additional information regarding this under Relationship Group Manager in the Add2Exchange Enterprise Edition Install & User Guide.

Unidirectional GAL Sync for Contacts

Another benefit of the Add2Exchange Enterprise Edition is the automatic replication of the Global Address List. There is no need to export and import the Active Directory list anymore as is necessary in the Add2Exchange Standard Edition. Add2Exchange Enterprise Edition does it for you automatically. Global Address List synchronization allows you to treat Outlook’s Global Address List as the source of a relationship, to be synchronized with one or more destinations. GAL Sync Relationships.

New Console Interface for better relationship sorting, filtering, and management or you can switch back to the Classic View as in the Add2Exchange Standard Edition. The management of group relationships is made easier by the innovative grid view of relationships and templates. The traditional tree view of relationships is still available from the Options dialog.

Group Relationship Feature

Add2Exchange Enterprise Edition entirely eliminates the need for the relationship cloning module; Enterprise relationships created can be driven by an Account’s Active Directory memberships, therefore reducing support and ownership costs; simply “Set It and Forget It”. Group relationships allow you to manage large number of relationships on an on-going basis through relationship templates and distribution lists. Group Relationships, Lists and Templates.

Integrated Folder Cloning Feature

Add2Exchange Enterprise Edition automatically allows you to make individual folders for any new relationships which are created eliminating the need for FolderMatic. Folder cloning creates a mirror image of the folder structure from a template account to multiple destination mailboxes. This is useful when creating a new folder structure for sync purposes when you want a separate, non-default folder to receive the contents of synchronization from a source folder, but you do not have the desired folder structure in the destinations already.

Advanced Date Range Control

The “Sliding Date Range” feature for recurring appointments in the Enterprise Edition saves replication time by reducing the number of items to process which is ideal when replicating items far in the past.

License from 2 Relationships for Smaller Installations and up to Unlimited Number of Relationships

Our Add2Exchange Enterprise Edition offers flexible licensing starting from 2 relationships up to unlimited relationships. License one folder type or the full sync suite.

Mobile Devices Supported: iPhones, iPads, BlackBerry, Androids with Exchange ActiveSync or MobileSync, Windows Mobile smartphones, pocket PCs, PDAs that connect to Outlook. Your organization can use the same devices, or have a mix of mobile devices from one or multiple manufacturers and the system will work as expected.  Add2Exchange Enterprise is a non-proprietary solution which works with any manufacturer's mobile devices as long as it can sync with Outlook. For example, if in a few months or years down the road you decide to trade in your BlackBerry devices for iPhones or Android smartphones (or vice versa) or decide to add iPads, you can still use Add2Exchange instead of investing in a new sync solution. If the solution was proprietary, the sync solution would be designed only to work specifically for one brand/type of mobile device.

Type of Replication Available:

• Private to Public, AND
• Public to Private, AND
• Public to Public,
• Private to Private, AND
• Mutual 2-Way Public to Private
• Multiple Public to Multiple Personal
• OST (Offline Folder) Aware

   

Testimonial from an Add2Exchange Customer
Global Radio, home to the UK’s leading commercial radio brands, went looking for a solution to be able to put their internal Global Address list onto every corporate mobile device they provide to their staff. “After doing some research for a server-side solution to our problem, we decided on DidItBetter’s Add2Exchange Enterprise solution,” says Luke Darby, Infrastructure Network & Systems Manager at Global Radio. “The only solution we could find at a competitive price was Add2Exchange. All other solutions only addressed half the problem or were device specific... Add2Exchange is now completely transparent to our users, offering a complete end-to-end solution with no user intervention required. There are no client plug-ins required and our users are required to do nothing to make it happen.” Global Radio’s Messaging Team found Add2Exchange easy to install and configure. This, allied to the excellent support provided by the DidItBetter support team, made for an easy installation and rapid deployment cycle.
