Various vendors have their own synchronisation products. ISOCOR has
the ISOGATE product which is also being used by NCR. (www.isocor.com
and www.ncr.com). You can just ask them whether they are general
enough.

SNI has its own synchroniser product (www.sni.de), and Digital has
performs syncrhonisation in its products, but I do not know
whether it is part of the product or can be separable.

In most cases, synchronisation means uploading or downloading
between a standard product format to the X.500 DIB format.
So, I am not sure how easily their synchronisation products can
be adapted for a very general use. Since ISOGATE is being used
by NCR, it looks to be adaptable (they say that they have two
such products - one for non-SQL products and the other for
SQL related products - I think). Check up their home page
for more info.
