GoldSync

**GoldSync Licenses - Important Notice**

FrontRange no longer provide GoldSync Licenses for old non SQL GoldMine Standard Users.

All licenses of GoldMine Corporate and GoldMine Premium continue to incorporate a GoldSync license.

 

...........GoldSync Overview

GoldSync Keeps all members of your sales team perfectly in sync!

One of the most difficult tasks facing business today is managing the information that moves across a distributed organization. GoldSync is the solution for users who need full access to their company data even when their is no live connection to the master database. Hosted and online access to CRM software can be very a very attractive proposition providing the road warrior always has a good quality internet connection. Unfortunately the reality is that internet access can be problematic from many of the locations where we need it most.

GoldSync means your salesforce can have a fully functional GoldMine CRM database on their laptop which does not rely on the internet for access. As soon as a connection is established, the laptop can be synchronised with the master again.

GoldSync makes updating and distributing vital customer information a productive reality.

..........GoldSync features and benefits

Sharing critical information
GoldSync manages and automates synchronisation between multiple Goldmine licenses. It goes beyond the exchange of customer and prospect information, updating your team on scheduled activities, special notes, and linked documents, such as quotes and proposals.

Synchronization simplified
GoldSync features a helpful Wizard to guide you step-by-step through the synchronization process. Get help setting up sites, processes and servers, or just sending a lead out to the field.

As smart as it looks
GoldSync can actually determine which sites need to receive specific information during each synchronisation session, eliminating yet another manual task. And, so you can easily track the process, GoldSync maintains detailed logs of each session.

Flexes to fit the shape of any organisation
Choose the connection methods that work best for your business, including TI, Frame Relay, Internet Email or IP-to-IP options. Use filters to include only the data pertinent to a particular location-helping avoid territory conflicts.

Keeps data exchanges small
GoldSync doesn't  waste bandwidth. It will selectively send only those fields or records that have changed since a salesperson's last transfer set. Three levels of security keep your data safe, too.

Now "remote" doesn't have to mean unavailable
GoldMine truly mobilises your information by allowing you to sync up contact and calendar information between Outlook, Palm and Pocket PC organizers. Just let the wizard-driven menus walk you through the process.

Which version of GoldMine did I need?



GoldMine BCM and Goldmine Corporate Edition (ce)



The main difference between them was -

How they store data.

What thin client and wireless access options were available



Other differences in features, functionality and the Users "look and feel" were generally minor. Other important differences are "Techie" - Sorry but you do need to appreciate these technical details if you are to make an informed choice.




Both versions use the Borland Database Engine (BDE) to enable the GoldMine program to "Talk" to your data.



So which GoldMine version was right for you?


Runs on almost any decent hardware.

Ideal for smaller databases and up to perhaps 20-30 users.

Other customization, training and set-up costs same as GoldMine BCM Corporate edition.

Telephone support must be purchased separately.

GoldMine BCM Corporate Edition

More powerful - for large databases (no practical limit to maximum records or size of database. You can have Millions of contact records if you want.

Web and thin client add-on Server module available (iGoldMine).

Mobile access from any WAP/GPRS enabled phone or PDA device.

More expensive (but more ambitious implementations will find it actually works out cheaper)

Lower support cost as SQL is more robust and easier to manage - fit and forget. SQL hosted Databases never need to be closed for pack and rebuild purposes - SQL is self maintaining and self healing so is suitable for 24x7 applications.
