Xchange Network is an Ann Arbor, Michigan, based company that has developed a “best of breed” data synchronization platform called XC Bridge.

XC Bridge is a data synchronization solution that allows arbitrary data to be synchronized between any desktop and/or web application. XC Bridge allows data to be retrieved from an existing application and then applied in context to a receiving application.

XC Connect™ is the first implementation of XC Bridge and has been successfully deployed worldwide across a very broad market. XC Connect enables users to share Calendar, Contact and Task information across any combination of Microsoft Outlook®, OS X iCAL and Address Book, Microsoft Entourage® and/or Novell Evolution® desktops. A web interface is also offered.

XC Bridge solves the problem of collaborating across the heterogeneous desktop landscape and over the huge chasm that exists between collaboration servers. As the need grows for organizations to communicate effectively, XC Bridge makes it possible for that data to be available virtually seamlessly. With XC Connect, for example, users with different desktop applications may share and synchronize calendar, contact, and task type data. This is the only solution with this level of scope is available on the market meeting this need.
