Cooperation with Microsoft® Outlook/Exchange

estos ProCall works closely with Microsoft Outlook®. This cooperation is based on two components:

• Joint data usage
  estos ProCall uses the MAPI interface for accessing information from Outlook® or providing new information to Outlook®.
  Alternatively, an Exchange Server can be integrated directly by using Exchange Web Services.
• Outlook® user interface toolbar
  In order to be able to use estos ProCall functions from Outlook®, a COM add-in can be installed upon request, which will add a toolbar to the Outlook® user interface for quick access.

Joint data usage

Contacts
Contact information from the Outlook/Exchange database can be sought and displayed by estos ProCall.
Contacts from other data sources can be comfortably created in the Outlook/Exchange database via estos ProCall so that they are also available there.

E-mail
If desired, the client will display the number of new emails in the inbox.

Calendar
estos ProCall can use Outlook/Exchange calendar information to determine the user's presence status. The user can define whether private appointments should be included and also prevent access to this information.

Tasks
The Outlook/Exchange task database can be used for comfortable call scheduling in estos ProCall.

Journal
The Outlook/Exchange journal can be used to save a call journal created by estos ProCall.
Copies of the estos UCServer journal entries are made for this purpose in this journal either by mouse click or automatically. It is also possible to define under which conditions such an entry should be copied.

Exchange Web Services
Should Exchange Server have been integrated directly through Exchange Web Services, estos ProCall will also be able to read the necessary configuration directly from Outlook®. All mailboxes setup there will be checked and used automatically.

estos ProCall Plug-in for Outlook®

To make context-sensitive access to estos ProCall features directly from Microsoft Outlook®, installation will add a plug-in-toolbar to Outlook®. Making calls, searching for contacts and creating tasks will be made possible by this plug-in.

Installation
The toolbar is set up as part of the estos ProCall installation.
