~Microsoft offers Microsoft Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager ~

March 2008

Every small business needs a way to share and track its customers and prospects, but finding the right software tools can be confounding. Therefore, in response to popular demand, Microsoft Corporatiom is now offering Microsoft Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager, a contact management application that extends the features of Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, as a stand-alone product. The stand-alone version offers customers an easy-to-use and affordable solution and can be purchased in retail outlets or at http://office.microsoft.com.

Microsoft Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager provides all the functionality of Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, making it easy for small businesses to track sales and marketing activities in one place, including organizing contact, prospect and customer information; managing sales leads and business opportunities throughout the sales cycle; creating, personalizing and tracking direct marketing campaigns in-house; and centralizing project information and task management.

When used with Microsoft Office Accounting 2008, Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager offers small businesses additional benefits, such as the ability to view customer financial history and to bill for time and create invoices directly from Outlook. Outlook with Business Contact Manager and Office Accounting share the same customer database, so any changes to customer information in one application are automatically reflected in the other, eliminating the need for complex synchronization or updating customer data in two applications.
