Phoenix, Ariz., August 29, 2005 - FileMaker Developer Conference - WorldSync, Inc., leading provider of tools for synchronization between FileMaker® Pro databases, today announced its new SyncDeK® 6.0, shipping Sept. 6 upon return from FileMaker DevCon. WorldSync today also announced SyncDeK 6 is compatible with the FileMaker 8 product line.

Now for the first time, FileMaker developers can provide centralized synchronization in SyncDeK-enabled solutions with a totally new SyncDeK Server. Streamlined for easier installation and configuration, SyncDeK 6 now also offers JDBC support, direct synchronization for FileMaker Server Advanced, enhanced Version Update Manager (VUM), and much more.

"SyncDeK gives FileMaker consultants and developers the tools they need for intelligent bi-directional data replication in modern solutions for today's mobile working communities," explained Jason Erickson, founder and CEO of WorldSync, Inc. "SyncDeK 6 is another huge leap forward in our quest to make data replication accessible, while powerful. We have greatly reduced the installation requirements to configure your solutions for synchronization. SyncDeK Server, JDBC, enhanced VUM, and other technology advances make SyncDeK 6 a compelling component of any FileMaker solution."

SyncDeK provides the techology to deliver solutions that distribute data to mobile workers, remote users, multiple sites, and customers and prospects all over the globe. SyncDeK revolutionizes data synchronization and replication with cost-effective, powerful technology that is elegantly simple for users, and now easier than ever to set up and administer.

New SyncDeK Server and Set-up Made Simpler

SyncDeK Server centralizes the direct, encrypted synchronization of data from an unlimited number of distributed database users and servers. SyncDeK 6 also continues to support its original email protocol-based, decentralized data distribution method.

Now, for developers of solutions based on FileMaker Pro versions 7 and 8, new JDBC support enables continuous synchronization executed completely in the background for both networked and single-user environments. SyncDeK 6 now also enables solutions built on FileMaker Server Advanced to directly synchronize as a background service, either on the host machine or from a secondary machine across the network or Internet.

Enhanced VUM capabilities in SyncDeK 6 now support automatic version updates for remote FileMaker Servers. SyncDeK's Server VUM capabilities allow developers to automatically distribute changes to the database structure as pre-scheduled events using the FileMaker Server scheduling mechanism, or manually either from the local machine or remotely.

Radically streamlined, the installation and configuration process for SyncDeK 6 requires significantly less expertise and effort than ever before. Now, installation with SyncDeK 6 involves the addition of four required fields, the creation of a single FileMaker account with xDBC access, and the addition of a single SyncDeK database file that designates a table occurrence for each table to be synchronized.

"SyncDeK has been recognized as a terrific migration tool for developers moving from FileMaker 6 to either FileMaker 7 or FileMaker 8," continued Erickson. "For server users, particularly, SyncDeK 6 is uniquely equipped to make the transition more smooth."
