Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2010

Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2010 is a handy tool that can really help you keep track of your contacts and business information. But before diving in, there are some important things to keep in mind regarding the software requirements.

System Requirements

If you're looking to use graphics hardware acceleration, you'll need a DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics card. Make sure it has at least 64 MB or more of video memory. Just remember that the exact requirements might change depending on your system setup and operating system.

Inking Features

If you want to enjoy certain inking features, you’ll need to be running Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition or later versions. Also, if you're into speech recognition, having a close-talk microphone and an audio output device is essential.

Information Rights Management

For those interested in Information Rights Management features, access to a Windows 2003 Server with SP1 or later, which runs Windows Rights Management Services, is required.

Connectivity Needs

You also need connectivity to Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 or later if you want to access some advanced features in Outlook 2010. Plus, don’t forget about Instant Search! It requires Microsoft Windows Desktop Search 3.0. And if you're using Dynamic Calendars, server connectivity will be necessary too.
