Broaden Your Outlook and Collaborate Flexibly

Any full fledged collaboration suite has email, contacts, calendars, and tasks at its heart. Recognizing this, HyperOffice affords you full use of Microsoft Outlook so you can carry on with a familiar interface yet still enjoy the many additional collaboration features it makes available. More on these broader and deeper collaboration tools at the bottom of this page. For now, see how you can continue to use Outlook as you always have. You may even find some new ways to use it as well.

Use Outlook for Email

Continue using Microsoft Outlook, as you’re accustomed. With its support for POP/IMAP, HyperOffice lets you use Microsoft Outlook or any other IMAP-compliant email client. For starters, what this means is you can securely check and send messages using any browser or modern handheld device and get fresh information whether you’re at home, on the road, or in the office.

Use Outlook to Share Your Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks

Not sharing Calendars, Contacts, or Tasks yet? Securely share these items plus group folders. HyperOffice will respect your folder structure no matter how wide or deep you go.

Sync Your Outlook Email, Calendars, Contacts, and Tasks

Never stay chained to the computer where you run Outlook. Enjoy broad and deep sync among HyperOffice, Outlook, and your handheld device. Simply install an intelligent thin client called HyperShare for Outlook on your machine. Next, decide which features to sync and how often you want them to occur. After this one time setup, you’ll stay in sync automatically with no further effort on your part.

Don’t Let Exchange Shutout Your Extended Team

What if some of the people on your mixed team don’t use Exchange Server and have no firewall access? No problem. HyperOffice lets you securely share your Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks with them anyway. Why? Because neither your company nor your outside collaborators need to be users of Microsoft Exchange Server.

• Eliminate Exchange Server and its Hassles
Already sharing Outlook features? Use HyperOffice in place of Exchange Server with no loss of data or functionality. Reap big savings with lower costs and no maintenance drain.

• Bridge the Collaboration Features of HyperOffice to Your Exchange Server
Want to keep Exchange Server, yet broaden your choices for collaborating? HyperOffice can work alongside your Microsoft Exchange server or replace it at a fraction of the cost.

For example, Southern California Edison setup a portal to collaborate with its contractors. HyperOffice acts as a bridge between employees behind the firewall who access Exchange Server plus HyperOffice and contractors who collaborate with them solely through HyperOffice.

• Break Free of Exchange Server and SharePoint
HyperOffice can work alongside your Microsoft Exchange server or replace it at a fraction of the cost. Migrating from Exchange Server to HyperOffice is quick and easy. And, you enjoy the same functionality at a substantial and ongoing savings.

Go Beyond Outlook to Make Full Use of
Your Collaboration Options

You enjoy added collaboration features with HyperOffice. One key reason why is because it embraces and extends the functionality of Exchange Server.

To be More Productive, Collaborate in Context

Every project, every meeting, every event, every task has a context. If you can quickly and easily provide the relevant context to your team, their ability to produce faster and better results soars.

The simple way to do this is with HyperOffice Interlinking. Just link any document to a meeting, any email message to a document, any contact to a task, and well, you get the idea.

Share Documents More Intelligently

Automate version control so everyone knows what’s a fresh document and how to gather its change history when they need it. Receive notifications when someone modifies a document or folder. Specify how many versions to keep or discard them based on age. All of the options you need are ready so you can prepare for audits liberated from document management hassles.

With a simple administration page, you have the power to place all information on a need to know basis and all HyperOffice tools on a need to use basis. On top of this, you can create new pages or modify existing ones to offer your unique content blended with HyperOffice productivity tools for an experience your users will find highly usable.

Create group memberships (e.g., Employees, Consultants, Technicians, Marketers, etc.). You decide what rights these memberships carry (e.g., which folders and files they can see and what they’re allowed to do with them). Similarly, you can refine what information each individual can access.

Create profiles (e.g., Manager, Contributor, etc.). You specify which HyperOffice tools members of a profile can use. After all, what makes sense for your intranet may not for your extranet and vice-versa.

Without knowing a lick of HTML, you can use HyperOffice Publisher to mix and match the content only your team could generate and show only those HyperOffice tools appropriate to the context of your page. Create new pages, even entire sites. Modify existing ones. Take advantage of content management features to speed your effort. You now have fine-grained control over your entire HyperOffice experience.

To get the most from your HyperOffice, realize you can setup as many intranet and extranet portals as you like for any business scenario.

This means you can have an intranet for your employees, which you can setup to include your outside contractors in a completely secure fashion.

Likewise, you can create extranets to work more closely with your partners and suppliers. You can even create one for your customers and provide them with personalized content to drive upsell opportunities.
