Currently, robust applications can be created for remote and mobile operations with popular development tools and databases; however, developers have had little choice in sharing data between decentralized applications and centralized databases. By partnering with Synchrologic and leveraging its leading data synchronization Keeping data in two or more computers up-to-date so that each repository contains the identical information. Data in handheld devices and laptops often require synchronization with the data in a desktop machine or server. technology, Centura can provide developers with a powerful choice in meeting the need of sharing data through the enterprise. "Our customers build applications using Centura's SQLBase database that automate decentralized functions, but in creating these 'islands of data' they also need to be able to share the data across an organization," said Michael Keddington, senior vice president of marketing and sales for Centura Software. "Synchrologic resolves the data-sharing issue with an easy solution for data synchronization." According to according to prep. 1.

Bill Jones, vice president of marketing at Synchrologic, "Combining the low-maintenance requirements and programmability of SQLBase with Synchrologic's data-sharing functionality makes building applications that support decentralized users a viable and cost-efficient concept. Through the partnership, Centura is providing developers with a powerful choice for enabling applications for mobile or remote use." Synchrologic's family of products provides core data synchronization and transport capabilities. The database- independent, highly scaleable technology gives application developers the ability to easily 'plug in' the industry's most robust data synchronization and distribution architecture. The technology works by creating a separate layer inserted between the applications and underlying database to completely manage all data-synchronization needs. By isolating the synchronization and sharing logic from the application and database, Synchrologic gives developers maximum flexibility while lowering integration and maintenance costs. Centura's SQLBase is the ideal database to embed in single-user business applications, or in multi-user business applications that support up to 100 concurrent users. Exceptionally easy to program, install and use, SQLBase has proven cost-effective in operations where there is no administrator to manage the database. SQLBase runs on PC operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. (Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs.
