At distributed locations without permanent Internet connections the need for accurate information is as high as anywhere else. Docmap^® Remote Sync is designed for situations where Internet connections may be unstable, infrequent or not at all possible.

Remote Sync is a file based database synchronization technology designed to maintain database consistency between a number of remote Docmap^® installations and the master installation. The software provides bi-directional synchronization, exchanging only relevant updates between the databases. Each part of the synchronization cycle is independent, allowing an installation to send or receive multiple updates sequentially without the need to perform or wait for a data exchange with the second installation.

The Docmap® Remote Sync technology ensures that any synchronization updates received in the wrong order are queued and automatically applied once the data that they are dependant on has been successfully applied. Synchronization files may be automatically e-mailed between Docmap^® installations or sent manually. It is possible to specify a maximum file size that can be e-mailed automatically, providing good control in situations where e-mails will be sent via satellite.

Updates to both the Docmap^® database schema and Docmap^® code can be deployed automatically on remote installations providing a simple upgrade path for these installations. This minimizes the need for local IT resources to maintain the remote installations. Docmap^® synchronization technology helps some of the worlds leading shipping organizations to keep vessel documentation up to date.
