Email Rules - MS Outlook as Portal Substitute?
There's one thing most of us have in common, that is, we spend a great deal of time using email. Whether for good or bad, the predominant application for enterprise email is MS Outlook. So there's a tendency to want to deliver more and more information, whether email related or not, into the application that's already open on everyone's desktop. Remember when that's what a portal was for?
Lisa Kellar discusses the inclination that many have to incorporate KM applications into Outlook in her article, MS Outlook: KM Friend or Foe? (Practice Innovations: Managing Change in a Legal Environment, October 2005)
I just have one question. Can Outlook really handle all the application plug-ins that connect it to the document management system, Interaction, and KM applications? Or will it collapse under the load? Will adding all this stuff make Outlook inoperable for the purpose for which it was designed? Just wondering...
