ZideLook MAPI Plugin for MS Outlook
Outlook Connector for OpenGroupware.org
The Skyrix ZideLook plugin is designed to connect MS Outlook to the freely available OpenGroupware.org Server. The ZideLook plugin allows Calendars, Appointments, Contacts and Tasks to be created in MS Outlook and easily shared between members of the same work group replacing MS Exchange for these features.
Advantages
OpenGroupware is a standards compliant open source server that provides an alternative solution to proprietary vendor lock-in of commercial software offerings. A low learning curve allowing for significant cost savings for larger organizations and corporations as users are presented with a common and familiar Outlook interface. A technical feature of OpenGroupware.org and ZideLook is the use of an Internet standard, WebDAV, to communicate between server and client thereby allowing secured communications between local and remote installations.
Technical Implementation
Synchronization of information is reliable and not subject to errors or data loss as ZideLook uses a true MAPI model as recommended by Microsoft. This approach allows for seamless transition of work group information between client and server and allows for simultaneous access by means of the default web client.
Offline Support
ZideLook 2.0 supports reading and writing of all data without being connected to the server. Field staff simply switch to offline mode and continue to participate in team oriented business processes.
Supported Outlook Versions
Outlook 2000, Outlook XP (2002), Outlook 2003
Availability
The ZideLook Outlook Connector for OpenGroupware.org is downloadable online from our Online Shop.
