ACOM Launches Outlook Document Management Plug-in, Delivers One-click Email Management for Microsoft Outlook Users

ACOM Solutions, Inc. announces the launch of its EZCM Outlook Plug-in, an integrated productivity solution for Microsoft^® Outlook that automatically indexes and stores email messages and attachments in their native formats, just by clicking on a button directly from within Outlook. “Once again, ACOM continues to fortify its reputation as a leader in this space by providing a direct storage solution for Outlook users. The Outlook Plug-in really delivers the benefits of electronic document management in an application that’s essential to users and their daily activities,” says Joe Torano, Channel Division Vice President at ACOM.

ACOM’s EZCM Outlook Plug-in simplifies the way organizations interact with their mission-critical email documents, saving time, money, and virtually eliminating errors with every document they process. The plug-in integrates seamlessly with Outlook and EZContentManager applications, appearing as a top-level menu option in Outlook.

By simply clicking on the “EZCM” button from within Outlook, users choose from a drop-down list of document types, and then user-defined processing automatically saves the email message and its attachments into EZContentManager, based on the document type selected. ACOM’s EZCM Outlook Plug-in does the rest, eliminating several manual steps by instantly exporting email messages and their associated attachments directly to the secure, web-based EZContentManager application, without any further user interaction.

You can even automatically link original emails with all associated documents in EZContentManager, based on user-defined options. Subsequently, when you search for a document or email, you can quickly see all of the related material at a glance, and find exactly what you need in a matter of seconds.

“Storing messages and attachments in their native formats ensures the integrity of our clients’ data,” says Angela Doolittle, Channels Product Manager. “It also flattens the learning curve for end-users, significantly boosting user acceptance and their productivity from day one.” Emails can be retrieved and displayed complete with all associated attachments, in the standard Outlook window. This provides a familiar interface for end-users that all but eliminates the need for training. And by keeping all attachments permanently linked to their original messages, EZCM Outlook Plug-in creates a clear audit trail for management.

Like all ACOM products, EZCM Outlook Plug-in is exceptionally scalable and can be rapidly deployed on a departmental basis or enterprise-wide. As a cleverly designed add-on program, EZCM Outlook Plug-in has a minimal IT footprint that does not strain system resources, so it can be installed immediately—without costly upgrades or having to worry about system requirements.
