The vision for most enterprises employing "Mobile Solutions" technology is to put current and accurate information in the hands of its employees, customers, and partners. Part of the core process towards fulfilling this information "anywhere, anytime" objective is the ability to integrate corporate back-end data and handheld computer files seamlessly.

The new HanDBase ODBC Driver is a tool that integrates data contained within the Palm or Pocket PC handheld computer and back-end corporate data files in three functional ways.

1.) Primarily the ODBC Driver allows handheld databases to appear as tables directly within corporate databases, which enable users to access live data for queries, reports, forms, charts, and mail-merge without having to do any conversions.

2.) Secondarily, the ODBC Driver will synchronize changes made to the database across all entry points between the handheld and desktop versions of HanDBase, and any ODBC enabled back-end database program, such as MS Access, Sybase and more.

3.) Lastly, the ODBC Driver also expands opportunities for enterprise application developers and systems integrators. Application developers will be able to use the new ODBC driver to write custom applications that can access current handheld data using developer tools such as JDBC, Clarion, Crystal Reports or Microsoft Access, greatly simplifying the process of integrating handheld data into custom written applications.
