ClientBase Plus Two Database Synchronization

TRAMS will be showing the new ClientBase Plus Two database Synchronization program at Tech U, which will be released in May. The program is an add-on for agencies that have two locations and would like to share a common database but do not have the bandwidth to direct connect through the Internet. There are two databases in this case, each accepting data entry. The changes to each are then routinely synchronized to the other, which results in a shared common data.

If you are interested in beta testing this product, please contact our Testing Department at testing@trams.com. If you are interested in acquiring the product after beta testing, please contact your TRAMS Sales Representative. Synchronization for more than two databases will be coming soon.
