Sync Salesforce Calendar with Windows Mobile

Saturday, May 31st, 2008 at 7:40 pm · Filed under Blog

I’m sometimes embarrassed to admit it, but I don’t have a blackberry. I prefer touch screen devices, but I don’t have an iPhone either (it’s not available on Verizon). So, even though I’m not the biggest fan of Microsoft, I do use a Windows Mobile based device. Until recently, I had a great system for keeping my information in sync. I synchronized Salesforce with Outlook, Outlook with Windows Mobile, Outlook with Plaxo, and Plaxo with Google Calendar. It actually worked and I didn’t have any weird duplication issues.

When I upgraded to Office 2007, everything took a turn for the worse. Outlook was so slow that I had to stop using it. Luckily, we use Google Apps, so I could access my calendar (and email) via the web. It’s been about a month now that I’ve been using Google Apps as my primary calendar client and I love it. It’s starts faster, has better search, and has made me more productive on the email front. There’s just two problems, it’s not in sync with my phone or with Salesforce.

After weeks of scouring the web, we finally have a working solution! Thanks to Appirio Calendar Sync for Salesforce and Google Apps I can now sync my Salesforce calendar with my Google Apps calendar. And thanks to NuevaSync I can now sync my Google Calendar with my Windows Mobile calendar!

No more missed appointments or dialing into calls that were postponed. Now, I just need a way to sync my Tasks between Salesforce and Remember the Milk and a way to sync my Contacts between Salesforce and my Phone!

Special thanks to tipsfor.us for pointing me to NuevaSync.

    I’m glad this is working for you, MK. Having all these syncing applications sound really complicated.
