Synchronising Outlook, Thunderbird, SugarCRM & Mobile Devices
Using Funambol Sync Server, we are now able to Synchronise a number of sources of Contacts and Calendar. Often we hear about the need to synchronise Thunderbird and Outlook - and mobile devices.
We have finally done this using completely open source (FREE!) software - and can be done as a service (SaaS) or even on your own PC!
Here are the software items;
- Funambol 8.x - Windows or Linux
- Connectors
- OpenXchange
- SugarCRM
- Microsoft Exchange
- Lotus Notes
- Connectors
- Email Clients
- Thunderbird (Linux or Windows)
- Funambol Sync Plug-in
- SugarCRM Sync Plug-in
- Outlook (Windows!)
- Funambol Sync Plug-in
- Thunderbird (Linux or Windows)
- Mobile Devices
- Windows Smartphone
- Windows Mobile Device Sync
- Funambol Sync Client
- iPhone -> Funambol Sync Client
- Windows Smartphone
- Other SaaS Solutions
Not all of the above items need to be used or installed - it depends on your mixture and needs.
After installing Funambol Server, and any connectors, and any plug-ins into their respective software, you should be able to simply synchronise each device or PC software via the Funambol Server.
We say "via" the Funambol Server because it really just acts as a agnostic repository for the data. This is the case if you use the default Funambol sync settings.
If you change your device or PC sync settings to use SugarCRM Contacts and Calendar directly, it will by-pass the repository and sync directly with SugarCRM - based on your username.
Note: There is a slight adjustment required to be performed on the SugarCRM "Contacts" module Contacts.php file. It is explained in the documentation.
We provide the complete installation service and other options, such as custom development to integrate into your own systems, so let us know how we can help you.
Enjoy synchronising!
The Funambol Community has provided support for other desktop apps. Support is provided by the maintainers of the projects.
The Funambol Mozilla Sync Client is a Mozilla extension which allows users to synchronize address book contacts and calendar appointments, between the Mozilla applications and the Funambol server, and therefore with any SyncML compliant clients, such as mobile phones, PDA, etc.
AvatarGrabber is a Java application which allows you to search for avatars for each contact in a myFUNAMBOL portal account from social network profiles. After the grabbing phase, you can choose what avatar to assign to your contacts. There is no need to have an account on the social networks, and if you do have an account on a social network, there is no need to have myFUNAMBOL contacts added as friends.
The Funambol Client for Yahoo! is a Java application that lets you sync contacts between a Funambol server and your Yahoo! account.
The Funambol Client for Goggle Mail is a Java application that lets you sync contacts between a Funambol server and your Goggle account.
SyncEvolution synchronizes personal information management (PIM) data like contacts, calenders, tasks, and memos using the SyncML information synchronization standard. It supports all data types on Gnome Evolution and some on Maemo and Mac OS X.
