Syncplicity : today launched Syncplicity Business Edition : that provides centralized file management, automated backup, synchronization, sharing and collaboration in one integrated solution. With its new offering, Syncplicity answers user demands for anywhere access to data, easy sharing and instant synchronization across multiple computers and mobile devices, while also meeting critical business requirements for low

cost, secure and scalable central file management and easy, policy-driven user administration.
Syncplicity Business Edition is also the only service to seamlessly integrate desktop files and applications with the cloud, eliminating the problem of multiple islands of data, so web applications such as Google Apps can now directly work with the Microsoft Office documents already on the desktop.

Today’s always-on workforce has migrated from a single desktop to multiple computers and mobile devices as the new norm. As a result, data is migrating from the desktop to the cloud. Users need anywhere access to their data, want to revise or share files effortlessly, expect to collaborate instantly with colleagues, and require automatic data backup so they can be assured that their files are always protected.

“Businesses want an integrated solution specifically designed to offer scalable and robust sync, backup, collaboration, and file management in one easy-to-use package. They also require the ability to centrally administer, secure and manage access to the company’s data,” said Syncplicity’s CEO Leonard Chung. “Centralized, sophisticated and easy to implement user management, with permissions, reporting and military-grade encryption across teams and the company are enormously important to the business market. We’re very pleased to deliver Syncplicity Business Edition that uniquely addresses our customers’ key requirements with powerful features previously unavailable in the market.”


SYNCPLICITY BUSINESS EDITION

Core features of Syncplicity’s new service include.

- Anywhere Access: Allows users access to files from any mobile device as well as web applications, anytime from anywhere, no matter where the files were first saved. Updated files will be instantly available on every computer and device used.


- Real-Time Backup and Instant Restore: SyncStorage provides versioned, real-time backup and instantaneous restore in case files are lost or corrupted.


- Central File Management: Provides management, control, auditing, policy, reporting, sharing and backups inside and outside of the firewall.

- No Limits: Pooled SyncStorage lets businesses scale their solution without limitations on files, file sizes, total storage, per user storage, number of users or number of computers.


- Centralized Collaboration: Provides policy-controlled, instant synchronization with full file versioning and revision history, audit trails, and permissions.


- Cloud and Web Application Integration: Integrates Microsoft and other desktop applications with Google Apps data, as well as other web applications. Syncplicity also offers a public API that allows 3 rd parties to tightly integrate with existing solutions, web applications or new clients.

“Syncplicity has really fulfilled some critical needs for our business, letting us spend time working with our files instead of worrying about them,” stated Jean-Paul Otto, CEO of Dopro Domotica Professionals, a residential control systems integrator. “With Syncplicity, our distributed teams can instantly access their data, regardless of device, and we love its simplified file sync and offsite, real-time backup. Syncplicity is also setting the standard for exceptional customer service and that’s really important to users.”

"I have dealt with lots of synchronization and collaboration tools and recommended tools to enterprise clients. One of the issues is how to bring all the different data sources together from all the different devices now used in the enterprise, and to make sure they are automatically backed up and also easily available for collaboration with colleagues inside and outside the enterprise. Syncplicity's Business Edition is the first one I’ve seen to really address this business challenge in an integrated solution," noted David Coleman, Managing Director of Collaborative Strategies, a leading industry analyst and advisory services firm that focuses on collaboration technologies.
