How can GAL contacts be automatically synchronized with the iPhone in compliance with GDPR?

Eine Illustration, die die Synchronisation der Global Address List (GAL) auf iPhones und iOS Devices darstellt.

Companies are often faced with the challenge of keeping their extensive phone lists with employee contact data up to date and making them available efficiently on smartphones. Especially in conjunction with Mobile Device Management (MDM), reliable contact synchronization is essential. Without a secure and GDPR-compliant GAL iPhone Sync software solution, outdated information can quickly lead to communication problems and inefficient working.

 

Synchronizing the Microsoft Global Address List (GAL) or Microsoft Exchange Online with Apple iPhones - or even Google Android devices - is an essential solution for companies that want to ensure seamless and up-to-date communication - even on the go. With sync.blue®, your team has access to important business contacts from the Global Address List (GAL) at any time, without time-consuming searching. Automatic synchronization ensures that callers are recognized immediately by name resolution and makes it possible to conveniently start calls in the car by voice command. This keeps communication efficient and flexible - no matter where you are.

How can up-to-date contacts from the Global Address List be securely transferred to the iPhone?

GAL contacts are provided via sync.blue® MOBILE Storage. This solution is based on CardDAV and ensures that contacts from the global address list can be synchronized centrally, read-only, and GDPR-compliant on iPhones and used by employees directly in the native address book.

In addition, photo synchronization is also possible, so that employee photos are automatically transmitted as well.
