.NET-Based App for Automated Contact Data Synchronization

About Our Client

The Client specializes in software development for legal, auditing, accounting, consulting, marketing, and advertising companies.

Challenge

The Client turned to ScienceSoft to develop a service for contact data synchronization between two existing systems, ProjectMate and Exchange. ProjectMate is a system that allows companies to automate key business processes such as time tracking, project management, communication with customers, billing, and EDM.

Solution

ScienceSoft developed a Windows-based solution that performs automatic synchronization of contact information between the Exchange server and one or several servers of ProjectMate. One of the advantages of the service is that it synchronizes contact information, taking into consideration systems’ time zones.

The developed solution not only merges users’ accounts and contacts but also registers all the conflict situations and forms a protocol with synchronization results. The results are available for both users and system administrators, with different levels of detail.

ScienceSoft’s team built the solution for operating within different Exchange versions (beginning from MS Exchange 2007 SP1) and accommodating the specifics of different versions correctly.

Results

The Client received a complete solution that merges contact information from two systems, taking into account the systems’ time zones, and works under different Exchange versions. The company was satisfied with the quality of ScienceSoft’s services and continues to cooperate with our team.
