.... could look at the reason like this
Outlook 2003, and its evolution into Outlook 12 later this year is huge - millions of users... and you could see this as a rapidly expanding worldwide network of emails, tasks, contacts, schedules etc... where of course the network has private or self contained clusters..... but individuals like me, dan360 and many, many others need to hang much more sophisticated information management, information connectivity & integration around all those Outlook items - but at the same time keep fully synchronous with them....
So for Kinook, there is the surely amazing opportunity of leveraging sales off of a truly massive user base.... and there must be ultimately hundreds of thousands of people needing more than even Outlook 12 will provide.....
Oh well, just when we thought UR might be the future proof 'universal' business/personal whatever information integrator, it seems that development is being halted relative to the most important data source out there... Outlook Data....
Omea Pro did it, but they fell flat due to I guess a really naff user interface, no proper random notes system, and so forth... But anyway, Omea showed that it is eminently possible to fully synchronize with Outlook, 100% in both directions.
The next step, prior to the more ambitious full sync, would be a relatively simple mechansim to export contacts & tasks from UR to Outlook... yes I know there is a macro made available to export tasks, but I think it would be great if Kevin could create a UR function to do this that more fully mirrors the intersectable fields between both products...
Anyone else got any strong opinions on Outlook Integration?
