Outlook is, hands-down, the most popular email client among the business set. And with good reason. It connects to Exchange, which allows businesses to determine many aspects of how and what their users can manage, use, and control. It also allows the sharing of things like calendars and contacts. But not all businesses (especially small businesses) employ Exchange. For them, there are plenty of alternatives to Outlook. Even businesses that do have Exchange may use an alternative to connect to a groupware server. Let’s take a look at a few of these alternatives and see what they have to offer.

And this goes hand in hand with my post of a few minutes ago.  From NetworkWorld.com…

Apple’s iCloud is a nice tool for keeping contacts, calendar items, and other data in sync between my iPhone and iPad, but what about keeping everything synced up with my Windows PC? Apple has that covered as well with the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.

From Microsoft-Watch.com…

Microsoft Watch – Business Applications – Microsoft Releases Office 2010, Nods Toward the Cloud: “Microsoft officials announced the worldwide availability of Office 2010, Visio 2010 and Project 2010 on June 15. They’re backing it with a multimillion dollar ad campaign, and highlighting features such as Photo editing in Word. I haven’t heard of anyone rushing out the door to secure a copy, but I’ve no doubt that a number of Microsoft-centric businesses will upgrade over the next year or so.”
