Mobile Syncing with eProductivity

If you're using eProductivity Integrated and you're using a qualified mobile device (see below), then most likely you can sync your information across to your mobile device. If you're using eProductivity Stand-alone, you won't be able to sync your data.

Qualified Mobile Devices:

A qualified mobile device is a device that can sync task, email, and calendar data with standard Lotus Notes before eProductivity is introduced into the mix. Devices that usually fit in this category include BlackBerry, Palm, and Windows Mobile.

Many folks ask us about the iPhone and iPad. The problem for the iPhone and iPad is that they do not currently contain a native task management application. Therefore, they cannot sync tasks from Lotus Notes. Because of this limitation, while iPhone and iPad users may be able to sync email and calendar data to/from eProductivity, they will not be able to sync their project and action data.

Some applications such as ITANA are working on task syncing solutions for the iPhone/iPad platform, so if interested you may wish to investigate further.

Many folks also ask about Android. The situation for Android is more fragmented, but often may be similar to that of the iPhone. In any case, we recommend using the eProductivity free trial period to test any syncing prior to purchasing.

How the Syncing with eProductivity is Handled:

eProductivity respects the standard Lotus Notes fields for email, calendar, contacts, and tasks. If you are currently able to sync your mobile device to Lotus Notes via a cable or wireless, then you should be able to sync to eProductivity Integrated.

Synchronization between Lotus Notes and your mobile device is handled outside of eProductivity, using your own sync software (e.g. Blackberry Enterprise server, or other desktop or wireless sync software). At this time we do not provide any device-specific software, but stay tuned as this is an area we are continuously exploring.

Be sure to visit the eProductivity forums as users have recommended device-specific solutions that work well with eProductivity.

We want you to be satisfied with your purchase. For this reason, we encourage you to download and test the syncing functionality before you buy. If you have a specific question, feel free to contact us.
