GroupWise sync

GroupWise sync with phones

How it works

CompanionLink will keep your GroupWise data synchronized with your phone. Once synchronized, you can access and edit your GroupWise contacts, calendar, and tasks directly from your phone.

CompanionLink Express has all the basic features you need for two-way synchronization. CompanionLink Pro includes additional options such as Auto Synchronization, the ability to sync wirelessly using CompanionLink's wireless sync service, and other advanced settings.

Wired (USB) sync

If you choose to sync using the wired (USB) method, simply configure CompanionLink and dock your phone to your PC using the USB cable that came with your phone. CompanionLink will then sync your GroupWise data with your phone.

Wireless sync

You have two options for wireless sync:

1. Wireless sync service by CompanionLink ($9.95/month)

CompanionLink offers a wireless sync service between GroupWise and smartphones. Data is synchronized through CompanionLink's secure servers. Once data is synchronized, it is removed from the server (CompanionLink does not keep a copy of your data). You can activate this subscription service within the CompanionLink Pro software configuration settings.



2. Wireless sync service using Google Sync

Google has released a free over-the-air sync solution for phones called Google Sync. This service works with iPhone, BlackBerry, Palm Pre, Windows Mobile and Symbian devices. It syncs contacts and calendar between a Google account and a phone. You'll need a Google account. (Don't have one? Visit this page to set one up for free.)
