Automatic Microsoft Exchange GAL sync with sync.blue®

With sync.blue®, you can automatically synchronize the global address list (GAL) with Exchange mailboxes, Outlook accounts, mobile devices, and more, without any manual exports or software installation.

Here's how it works:

• Create a free account with sync.blue®

• Select source – e.g., Microsoft GAL Exchange or CRM system

• Define destination – the desired employee smartphones, company cell phones, or shared devices

• Start sync – all employee contacts are automatically transferred to the device

From this moment on, all contact data is centrally managed, stored in compliance with GDPR, and available on mobile devices – without manual import or maintenance.

With sync.blue®, contacts from the global address list (GAL) can be automatically and centrally synchronized to multiple Exchange users or mailboxes – without manual exports or additional tools. Distribution can be targeted, e.g., by department, location, or group. Changes in the GAL are automatically applied and regularly updated so that all recipients always have access to the latest contact information.

The GAL Sync Tool sync.blue® automatically transfers contacts from the global address list to iPhones and Android smartphones in compliance with GDPR regulations – directly to the native address book, including intelligent caller ID. Ideal for field service, mobile teams, and BYOD concepts.

With sync.blue®, you can automatically assign contacts from the global address list to new Exchange users. This gives new employees immediate access to all relevant company contacts during onboarding, without manual setup or additional IT effort.

With sync.blue®, you can automatically distribute contacts from the global address list to mobile devices—even in combination with mobile device management systems such as Microsoft Intune. The contacts are synchronized directly into the native address book. Ideal for company-managed devices, BYOD environments, and GDPR-compliant contact provisioning.

sync.blue® is the German-language alternative to CiraSync and places particular emphasis on data protection, close support, and flexible application options. Unlike CiraSync, sync.blue® uses data centers from independent providers in Germany and thus meets the highest GDPR requirements. Companies benefit from personal, German-speaking support. In addition, sync.blue® is more cost-effective and not limited to Microsoft Exchange, but compatible with over 80 apps and applications. Synchronization takes place directly into the native address book – without any additional software. More information here.
