ActiveSync is a synchronisation program developed by Microsoft Corporation. The purpose of the program is to synchronise files, favourites, Personal information manager data etc. between a Windows PC and a PDA running Windows Mobile or Windows CE for Handheld PC or for Palm-size PC. It is designed to synchronise PIM data with Microsoft Outlook, although alternative software is available for some non-Microsoft PIMs - such as FinchSync for Thunderbird, or Intellisync.
