Pimp your Outlook
Is Outlook the first program you start in the morning? That's for a reason!
It’s not possible to imagine the communication in many companies without Outlook as their email client. This is mostly based on the immense flexibility Outlook offers. It includes great email-, calendar and task management capabilities. A quick look if a colleague is available for a meeting? No problem - use shared calendars. Process a mail next week without losing track? No problem as well - just flag it and set the reminder to next week.
Outlook does many things very well without getting in the way. But it's not perfect. If you keep using Outlook over several years, your inbox will grow to a huge collection of data, which is not organized the best way imaginable. It is at least an option to use folders and categories to structure mails, but a real tagging is not possible.
To this day, Microsoft was not able or did not want to position Outlook as an “information hub”, as a tool to collect and manage all information of your daily work. And yet, such a hub is needed today more than ever before. Web-based tools and services are gaining popularity quickly, especially in the area of CRM and project management. In most cases, an Outlook integration only goes as far as sending notification emails, an automatic synchronization of tasks or appointments is not even a consideration.
We are convinced that Outlook is the best PIM-tool to date. Features as offline-availability, coordinated appointment planning or out-of-office emails are well thought out and essential in day to day business. Outlook is not sexy or fresh, but robust and reliable. We’ll take care of the rest.
