Share Microsoft Outlook Calendars and access appointments online with OfficeCalendar v4.5

Lookout Software, LLC announces the release of OfficeCalendar v4.5: Share Microsoft® Outlook™ calendar, contact and task information with colleagues; access your calendars online; and more

DALLAS, Texas, USA (March 31, 2008) – Lookout Software, LLC has just released OfficeCalendar Version 4.5, an easy to use software alternative to Microsoft Exchange Server that allows users to easily share their Outlook information with colleagues and coworkers, create group calendars, and now offers Outlook web access so users can view their Outlook calendars online.

OfficeCalendar's most spotlighted features include the ability to let users share their Outlook calendars without the cost and complexity of Exchange Server. However, OfficeCalendar's latest release, Version 4.5, takes this feature one step further by allowing users Outlook web access to their calendars online. "By far the most requested feature from the OfficeCalendar user community, as well as prospective OfficeCalendar users, has been Outlook web access. We agreed, and with OfficeCalendar Online, we delivered." – Tom Garrett, Vice President of Customer Services for Lookout Software.

OfficeCalendar Online gives those who don't always have access to Microsoft Outlook on their desktop PC the ability to access their personal, shared, group and resource Outlook calendars from anywhere, at anytime, using a web browser. Outlook web access is ideal for users who travel or work from public computers frequently.

"Implementing OfficeCalendar has streamlined how we make appointments, re-schedule appointments and is very helpful to have on our laptop, for when we are out of the office," said Bobbie Lee, an OfficeCalendar customer.

OfficeCalendar v4.5 is an upgrade to Version 4, which featured the ability to synchronize Outlook distribution lists and receive appointment notifications when edits are made to your calendar by other OfficeCalendar users. OfficeCalendar also highlights valuable features such as the ability to create group calendars, control security and shared access rights, and much more; all without the need for Exchange Server.

Another OfficeCalendar customer, Norrie Macdonald, said "I think the level of professionalism that Lookout Software has is probably due to the fact that the product is targeted and of value to small enterprises where the costs and complexities of MS Exchange Server cannot be justified."

Each person wishing to share Outlook calendars, contacts, and/or tasks using OfficeCalendar must have a copy of Microsoft Outlook 2000, XP, 2003 or 2007. However, OfficeCalendar can work with a mixture of these Outlook versions. OfficeCalendar does not work with Microsoft Outlook Express, a different product from Microsoft Outlook.
