Microsoft Office Outlook is a great data management solution for business used by thousands of companies and entrepreneurs.

Client information

Gunnebo is a Sweden-based provider of IT security software focused on reinforcing business protection all around (from system authorization to financial operations). The company offers safe automated self-service solutions for retail chains, smart cash management products, protected data storage systems, and even entrance control solutions.

Business challenge

The client already had an existing corporate data management solution. Gunnebo ultimately wanted their GBS system to be synchronized with Outlook, thus extending the functional scope of the interface at hand. The add-in we were looking to implement was focused on helping achieve seamless workflows and better routine management for users.

Technical challenges

We needed to synchronize Outlook Tasks and Schedule features to provide single access to them for GBS platform users that have an Outlook profile. A new add-in was connected to the Outlook calendar for scheduling purposes and to the task manager for tasking. We also had to enable fault tolerance to improve sync.

Solution delivered

GBS Outlook add-in is a handy plugin that enables GBS platform users to better optimize workflow scheduling and conveniently distribute tasks and events. A user gets to employ these opportunities with no extra settings or setups involved whatsoever. Now, one can easily access the required corporate information without leaving the email client and quickly create custom work schedules.
