Casahl Technology Releases Collaboration Products For Microsoft Exchange.DANVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 12, 1998-- Replic-Action-based Products Give Data Integration, Synchronization (1) See synchronous and synchronous transmission. (2) Ensuring that two sets of data are always the same. See data synchronization. (3) Keeping time-of-day clocks in two devices set to the same time. See NTP. and Workflow Triggering Options to Microsoft Exchange Users Casahl Technology, Inc., the leading provider of software for integrating groupware with corporate database systems, announced the releases of RA.Synch, RA.Transport and RA.Interchange -- three products based on their award-winning Replic-Action technology. RA.Synch is a two-way synchronization product built specifically for integrating corporate database systems with Microsoft Exchange Messaging and groupware software for Windows from Microsoft. Exchange Server is an Internet-compliant e-mail system that runs under Windows NT/2000 and Windows Server 2003. It can be accessed by Web browsers, the Exchange client, versions of Outlook and the earlier Windows Inbox. . For example, a company has or wants to create a customer tracking system in Exchange for the purpose of sharing and collaborating on this information throughout their sales force. The company has an invoicing system in Oracle and requires essentially the same customer information (billing address, contact, etc.). Instead of manually creating and maintaining the same customer information in two separate places (Oracle and Exchange), RA.Synch can integrate the two so that changes are automatically kept in sync. Even workflow triggers or transformations can be generated as a result of changes made in one or the other system. RA.Transport is similar to RA.Synch except it is a one-way synchronization product. RA.Transport is designed for companies who wish to integrate database systems with Exchange in order to make corporate information available to end users, but don't require changes from Exchange users to be integrated back into the corporate system. For example, a company has product information in their SQL Server An earlier relational DBMS from Sybase and from Microsoft. Sybase introduced SQL Server in 1988 for various Unix versions. In that same year, with help from IBM, Sybase created an OS/2 version that Microsoft licensed and branded as Microsoft SQL Server. database and want their remote field sales people to be able to see the latest specifications, pricing and availability. RA.Transport can synchronize See synchronization. the SQL Server database with an Exchange public folder application, which then enables remote users to synchronize with their off-line stores, giving them up-to-date information when making calls on their clients. RA.Interchange is a product designed to enhance Exchange Server synchronization. It enables companies using Exchange to synchronize folders between Exchange Servers belonging to different organizations. With RA.Interchange, companies can also perform selective synchronization -- only selected fields, selected forms and documents matching a specific selection criterion will be synchronized syn·chro·nize v. syn·chro·nized, syn·chro·niz·ing, syn·chro·niz·es v.intr. 1. To occur at the same time; be simultaneous. 2. To operate in unison. v.tr. 1. . For example, a company has an HR application in Exchange that only HR personnel have access to because of the sensitivity of the information. The company would like to publish an employee telephone directory in Exchange. RA.Interchange can be used to synchronize the Employee Form of the HR application with the telephone directory and screen out all sensitive fields. And if the company has departments or remote offices with Exchange Servers belonging to different organizations, RA.Interchange can keep them in sync. RA.Synch, RA.Transport and RA.Interchange represent three of seven offerings in the Replic-Action family of products. Other products include Replic-Action for Lotus Notes Messaging and groupware software from IBM Lotus that was introduced in 1989 for OS/2 and later expanded to Windows, Mac, Unix, NetWare, AS/400 and S/390. Notes provides e-mail, document sharing, workflow, group discussions and calendaring and scheduling. , RA.DBMS (DataBase Management System) Software that controls the organization, storage, retrieval, security and integrity of data in a database. It accepts requests from the application and instructs the operating system to transfer the appropriate data. , RA.GroupwareLink and RA.ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) An integrated information system that serves all departments within an enterprise. Evolving out of the manufacturing industry, ERP implies the use of packaged software rather than proprietary software written by or for one customer. . Replic-Action for Lotus Notes is the market-leading data integration product for Lotus Notes and was recently awarded the Editor's Choice "Gold" Award by Lotus Notes and Domino Advisor Magazine. RA.DBMS enables users to share data between heterogeneous database systems A Heterogeneous Database System is an automated (or semi-automated) system for the integration of heterogeneous, disparate database management systems to present a user with a single, unified query interface. (e.g. Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server A relational DBMS from Microsoft that is a major component of the Windows Server System. It is Microsoft's high-end client/server database and is closely integrated with Microsoft Visual Studio and the Microsoft Office System. ). RA.GroupwareLink is a coexistence product enabling Lotus Notes and Microsoft Exchange users to synchronize their two groupware systems. RA.ERP gives Exchange or Notes users the ability to integrate ERP system information into their workflow and collaborative applications.
