Synchro Server promotes a shared understanding of the project and non-adversarial planning and collaboration.

Synchro Server is an IP-based server, which ensures the fast communication of information changes to each connected user while managing the single project model. This capability allows dispersed planning and scheduling teams to access a common central model and repository of planning and scheduling information to alleviate communications, coordination and scheduling issues.
Synchro Server is the bridge between project participants.

Changes made on one workstation – whether it's Synchro Professional or Workgroup – are broadcast synchronised with the central model and immediately broadcast on a pier-to-pier basis to all other connected participant users to keep everyone updated constantly.

Collaboration through Synchro offers the opportunity to distribute planning and scheduling responsibilities, retain a complete audit record for analysis of all user input activity, and keep the project model and information under control at all times.
