Re: [OT] Sharing office contacts in Exchange 2007 / outlook 2007

Thanks.

I had a look at it, but it seems to offer more than I really need.

I don't need the additional :

* Manage sales leads and opportunities

* Create, personalize, and track direct marketing campaigns

* Centralize project information and task management

I really only need contact management. I assuming that Exchange can
handle this even with 3000 contacts and best way to organise this is
to create a lot of categories to allow filtering.

Thanks
