Bridge the gap between your Microsoft Exchange Server and your GoldMine server. For GoldMine Corporate Edition users, GoldMine Integration Services for Microsoft Exchange Server links these two applications, enhancing your organization's productivity and scheduling capabilities.

Key Benefits

• Boost productivity and effectiveness with complete calendar access for GoldMine and Exchange Users, the ability to schedule appointments in either application, and access to GoldMine contacts through Exchange and vice versa
• Maximize your return on investment by spending less time coordinating schedules and looking for contact information, and more time selling

Features

• Calendar synching - Allow Exchange users to schedule meetings with GoldMine users. Meetings automatically appear on the GoldMine user’s calendar, without ever opening GoldMine. Or, schedule an activity in GoldMine, include an Exchange user, and the activity automatically syncs to Exchange.
• Availability checking - Check a user’s availability on his or her GoldMine calendar from within the Exchange scheduling tool in Microsoft Outlook to easily plan meetings and events with GoldMine and Exchange users.
• Open access to contact information - Synchronize GoldMine contact information to a public contacts folder in Exchange to allow Exchange users to see GoldMine contact information.
• Public calendar sharing - Send information from an Exchange public calendar to a GoldMine user’s calendar to keep everyone in the loop.
• Versatile GoldMine access - Access GoldMine contacts, whether you are using GoldMine Corporate Edition or Outlook via an Exchange Server.
• Automatic data transfer - With the server-based synchronization process, data can be transferred automatically without user intervention.  Users do not need further training to be able to share their data, regardless of the application they choose.
