What do your users use for updating data?  Software that you developed
for them?  Do they use a web-interface?

What I do in one of my applications (.NET) is to allow the users to make
data available offline with a simple XML serialisation.  So they are
then allowed to make updates to the local XML data, and when
online/connected again do a "upload" back into the central database.
