Business Software, claiming to be one of the UK's fastest growing software and services providers, has released the latest version of  TriSys E-Mail Synchronisation tools, were originally designed to work exclusively with ‘on-premise’ e-mail servers  as Exchange.

With the increasingly widespread adoption of ‘on-demand’ cloud based e-mail however, the new version of this component works with the most popular on-line services.

TriSys customers are now able to synchronise all incoming e-mail, outgoing e-mail, calendars and contacts with Google Mail (G-Mail), Exchange Server 2003, 2007, 2010 and Microsoft Business Productivity On-Line (BPOS).

“The latest release of this important component within our extensive product portfolio gives our customers total choice in selection and procurement of industrial strength cloud e-mail services. Whether customers are using PC’s, notebooks, netbooks or phones, all their e-mail, diary and contact information is automatically synchronised with their TriSys database.” comments (right) Garry Lowther, CEO TriSys Business Software.

Scarily efficient!

An alternative offering comes from the laid-back San Francisco based Dropbox  for Windows/Mac/Linux/mobiles, a freeware application and web service which instantaneously backs up and syncs your files over the internet and to any computer.

After you install the application, it will create a Dropbox folder on your hard drive. Any file you put inside that folder will automatically be synced and monitored for changes, and each time a change is saved, it backs up and syncs the file again. Even better, Dropbox does revision history, so if you accidentally saved a file and wanted to revert to an old version or deleted a file, Dropbox can recover any previous version. See video for the demonstration.

Any file that’s synced with Dropbox is available on any computer you sync it to or through the Dropbox web interface. Dropbox offers 2GB of storage space and syncing. The software and service will remain free of charge, but if you need more than the 2GB, premium accounts will be available.

And if you really feel you need to consider a third option, the Economist writing about Dropbox, also mentions Sugarsync , though the feeling is that Dropbox has the edge on sync value.
