The InEight cloud platform has several options for synchronizing information from one platform to another. This gives you multiple options to utilize data efficiently between various programs, saving you time and resources.
The table below shows you the high-level functions of multiple platforms to help you better understand how these tools interrelate.

For this lesson, you will focus on the programs that integrate directly with Control (after the initial import from Estimate) and will go over how to perform the basic “Push” and “Get” actions to move data between systems.
The workflow diagram below shows the connections between the programs, and details on what data passes between the various InEight products:
