Many companies maintain contact lists in Microsoft SharePoint Server or in Office 365 SharePoint Online. To make these lists available outside of SharePoint, PeopleSync fetches the contact data from SharePoint to bring it to your Android SmartPhones and Tablets and other devices or apps. Custom columns of the lists can be matched to standard contact fields individually. Linked pictures will be used as profile pictures for the contact items. All data will be stored in a SQL database as well as in an LDAP directory for offline synchronization and online access.
Googles operating system Android gained a huge market share and powers many smartphones and tablets. The PeopleSync Server is capable of bringing you SharePoint Lists to your Android SmartPhones and Tablets as well as to other mobile devices. The contacts can be syncronized via CardDAV or accessed online via LDAP. As Google does not provide these protocols in the native operating system, you need to install an app to communicate with PeopleSync. messageconcept provides the free CardDAV-Client PeopleSync App for download in the Google PlayStore. The app comes with an AutoDiscover functionality to find configure the server settings automatically. Alternatively several 3rd party Android apps for CardDAV and LDAP are available.
