Entourage or Mac work-around

[Deano]

I actually posted this in the outlook plug-in forum, but its probably more apt here.

The main thing stopping me from definitely deploying SugarCRM to our work force, is the lack of plug-in for anything Mac based.
Several of our most important users unfortunately use Macs.

I'm thinking of setting a VM ware machine up with outlook running to sync their items between SugarCRM, thus they would then see it in Entourage. I'm not sure if the Outlook plug-in could cope with the auto-sync required - I'd want all Calendar and Contacts to be automatically replicated, and I think you have to mark them. Any ideas if this could work?

Any other ideas on how to sync their exchange data with SugarCRM?


Cheers.

Every entourage request is failed to be answered by Sugar people...

Entourage and Mac OS X Mail, iCal and Address Book are now fully supported by Riva Integration Server for Exchange. Riva provides server-to-server integration between Exchange and SugarCRM and therefore is not dependent on the Outlook plug-in for synchronisation. Check out Riva Integration Server at:
http://www.omni-ts.com/crm-integration

Riva is compatible with all versions of SugarCRM and other leading CRMs. Because the synchronisation is server-side, Riva provides native support for all Exchange clients including Outlook, OWA, Entourage, Mac OS X Mail, iCal, Address Book and all mobile devices without installing any plug-ins on the workstations or applications on the mobile devices. Riva is also available as a hosted solution:

I'm glad to say that the upcoming release of Windows Live Messenger, currently in beta, delivers the new A/V protocol that enables us to deliver A/V support in Messenger for Mac. It is cross-platform compatible and will work with Windows Live Messenger. This is a huge milestone that will enable us to continue moving forward with Messenger for Mac development.
