PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CompanionLink^® Software synchronizes PC and web-based databases with the new Verizon^® iPhone^® over a Wi-Fi connection. Direct and secure sync of calendar, contacts, tasks, notes and color-coded categories with iPhone is supported for productivity and CRM suites like IBM^® Lotus Notes, Sage ACT!, Palm^® Desktop, Novell^® GroupWise, Salesforce^® CRM, and Highrise^®. CompanionLink also supports sync with third-party Microsoft^® Outlook^® add-ins like Franklin Covey^® PlanPlus^™, Getting Things Done^®, Take Back Your Life, Respond^™, and Avidian Prophet^®.

CompanionLink licensing starts at $39.95. Technical support is included at no cost. A one-time configuration service, called RunStart^™, is available for $39.

CompanionLink’s Wi-Fi Sync works directly between the iPhone and PC, which must be connected to the same local Wi-Fi network. This ensures maximum security during the data transfer. The sync process works in tandem with an iPhone app called DejaOffice^™. No USB cables or other software is required.

“One of our goals is to deliver a hands-free sync experience for iPhone users who rely on PC software like Lotus Notes to manage their business data,” says Rushang Shah, Director of Marketing for CompanionLink Software. “With the DejaOffice app for iPhone, we are creating a complete eco-system of PC-to-iPhone productivity for people who come to expect such advanced features from their devices.”

DejaOffice adds a business focus to the iPhone with advanced apps for Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, Memos, Category Management, and Expense Tracking. It includes features such as task priorities, status, start and due dates, and location. Five different tasks styles are supported – GTD^®, Franklin Covey^®, TBYL, Microsoft Outlook, and Palm Desktop. DejaOffice manages categories on the iPhone for contacts, calendar, tasks, and notes. The app also links contacts to any calendar event, allowing users to see who the activity is with and manage functions like email, SMS and direction mapping with one tap.
