Sync Motorola Droid with Novell GroupWise
So about a week ago I got a Droid to replace the blackberry storm that I had.
Now the Droid natively syncs with Google (duh!) and with Microsoft Exchange over the air. My biggest concern that I had regarding the Droid was whether or not I would be able to sync the calendar and contacts on the phone with the calendar and contacts on the server.
After doing some searching came across a program called CompainionLink that syncs GroupWise with Google. Once you have the data synced between GroupWise and Google the Droid will automatically sync between itself in Google. The nice thing is that the whole process is automated so in a way it is like having Exchange Activesync or a BES in that it does all this over the air so you don’t have to connect your Droid to the computer to sync like you would with a Blackberry.
Yay problem solved.
The built in Android Corporate Email and Calendar APP uses the ActiveSync protocol which DOES connect to Novell GroupWise v8 through Novell’s Data Synchronizer Mobility Pack solution.
