FOR RELEASE JANUARY 7, 2003 DATA REPLICATION NOW AVAILABLE FOR FILEMAKER PRO ** SyncDeK(tm) 4.5 Provides New Integration Tools & Reduced Pricing to Make Distributed Database Synchronization Easier, More Secure and More Affordable ** BERKELEY, CA - January 7, 2003 - A.E. Wood & Erickson today announced the immediate availability of SyncDeK 4.5, enabling flexible, secure synchronization of multiple distributed FileMaker databases. This new version takes advantage of technology improvements and provides tools for simpler integration into any FileMaker solution. Integrating SyncDeK no longer requires installation by A.E. Wood & Erickson. New pricing reduces SyncDeK licensing costs by 50% from previous versions. "SyncDeK 4.5 moves 'distributed database' technology from custom development to widespread application, at a level of affordability not matched by big enterprise database systems," said Alan Wood, CEO of A.E. Wood & Erickson. SyncDeK 4.5 solves data sharing problems that many FileMaker developers face. Without replication, traditional client-server databases are challenged to fully support mobile and remote users, server-to-server synchronization, or "live" database backups. SyncDeK 4.5 replication allows any number of FileMaker databases to share data bi-directionally, even without direct connectivity. This enables remote and mobile database users to synchronize with each other and/or with an office server. Organizations with multiple offices can deploy multiple synchronized FileMaker Servers for highest-performance data access at all sites. Database administrators can maintain "warm backups" to recover from outages with minimal data loss. SyncDeK 4.5 shares encrypted change notices between "nodes", enabling data replication between FileMaker databases. SyncDeK not only synchronizes data, it also synchronizes database design changes. New fields, scripts and layouts can be distributed to any number of database nodes in seconds, greatly reducing the cost of deployment and version control. With SyncDeK 4.5, the cost of using replication technology has been dramatically reduced. New integration tools ease installation of SyncDeK in FileMaker databases: "We worked hard to make SyncDeK 4.5 easier to implement by developers new to the technology. They can enable data replication and still leverage their development investment in existing databases," said Jason Erickson, CTO of A.E. Wood & Erickson. SyncDeK is available in bundled pricing starting at $1599. SyncDeK is available for FileMaker 5 & 6 on Mac OS 9.x, Mac OS X, and Windows 98/2000/NT/XP.
