Synchro Server

product image

Synchro Server (Server 3, Server10, 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 information stored to alleviate communications, coordination, version control and scheduling issues.

Synchro Server is the bridge between project participants.

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

The element of concurrent user connections on the Server for the named license is limited to 5 for Server 5, 10 for Server10, and unlimited for Server to manage a single project model.

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

We provide a User Manual, including comprehensive help files and a downloadable, self-taught tutorial with sample 3D and scheduling files.

To gain a better sense, you can preview this Self-Taught Tutorial for Synchro 3.11.
