iMIS Rumors

A commonly asked question at Metisc is “How do i synchronize my iMIS members with my Smartphone?”.

Most smartphones are capable of synchronizing their contact information with Microsoft Outlook. So the question becomes, how do i get my iMIS contacts into Outlook?

The easiest and most cost effective way is to use the MiSync iMIS to Outlook and/or Exchange module. MiSync will synchronize your iMIS membership data to your Exchange or Outlook System - and then Microsoft Active Sync will synchronize your contacts onto your Windows Smartphone PDA or your Pocket PC.

If you are using a Palm Pilot or Palm based Treo phone such as the Centro then the steps are the same. Instead of using Active Sync to synchronize between Outlook and your Palm device, you will use the free software provided by Palm and included with your device.

For blackberry users, you can use MiSync to synchronize iMIS to your Exchange server, and then use RIM’s (the maker of Blackberry) Exchange Push tools to synchronize from Exchange to your Blackberry devices.

If you are using a PDA from other manufacturers, then you can check your PDA instructions on how to Synchronize your contacts between Outlook and your PDA. Most PDA phones include this functionality out of the box.

So the next time you want to make sure that you have the latest contact information for your customers at your fingertips, consider using MiSync to do the hard work for you!
