This is where Open source Z-Push comes in it is an implementation of Microsoft’s ActiveSync protocol which is used ‘over-the-air’ for multi platform ActiveSync capable devices, including Windows Phone, Apple iPhone and iPad, Android and Blackberry 10 devices. Both solutions require proprietary server-side software from the vendor, therefore limiting the use of PIMs (personal information managers) to either wired synchronization or irritating 3rd-party synchronizers requiring the installation of client software on the PDA. The most important platforms that can do wireless synchronisation are ActiveSync that is used to communicate with Exchange Server and Research-in-Motion’s BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES).

Mobile data synchronization is becoming increasingly important for many people, and various standards have arisen to perform this two-way copying ‘over-the-air’. With a history of over 9 years of successful synchronization with multiple backends Z-Push is the leading open source push synchronization. Z-Push is an open-source application to synchronize ActiveSync compatible devices such as mobile phones, tablets and Outlook 2013 and above.
