OMA Data Synchronization

One of the key promises of mobile computing and communications devices is the ability to deliver information to users almost anytime and anywhere. This information can then be modified and updated in various locations, and later synchronized with compatible applications when the user is back in the office or at home.

In 1999, Nokia began crafting a new initiative to create an innovative solution to the synchronization problems created by proprietary technologies. This initiative was named SyncML, and it has since become one of the key enablers of successful mobile services. On November 1, 2002, the SyncML Initiative was consolidated with the Open Mobile Alliance, which will continue to develop SyncML technologies for data synchronization and device management.

For developers, SyncML offers a less-complicated life: By leveraging existing solutions or by applying the SyncML framework as a starting point, developers can create applications that connect seamlessly to a diverse set of devices and networked data. Additionally, using SyncML reduces the costs of supporting multiple technologies: SyncML is a standard interface to a wide range of terminals.

Many individuals interact with the digital world via a Nokia mobile phone. Open application development interfaces (APIs) in Nokia products provide access to a vast market using Nokia-based solutions. Nokia has a good perspective on all aspects of SyncML, from network infrastructure and Internet applications to consumer handsets and software solutions. This Forum Nokia channel exists to share Nokia's vision and knowledge of building solutions, and to help developers succeed with us.
