hello,
you will have to
1. Create an entity to store source and destination entity and field mapping.
2. Also store the last time you synchronized the contacts.
3. Based on the last synchronized time, get all entities modified since last update.
4. Call web service to update data.
the settings can be stored in XML files or as fields. The utility can be an exe that can be scheduled as task or service.
good luck.

hi.
if they are two organizations, you have to either write a utility to sync the contact. There are many tools available to do this without programming

hi,
when you say contact list, are you looking for a synchronization of marketing lists or actual contacts between multiple organization?.
